Series 8 is officially wrapped and the fandom has chimed in: Peter Capaldi is the best Doctor of New Who. Maybe the best New Who is a little presumptuous. Depending on your source, the best New Who often times is given to David Tennant, and with good reason. All you have to do is watch Series 1-4 1/2 and you can see why. Russell T. Davies did an excellent job rebooting the series with Christopher Eccelston, but it can’t be denied that David Tennant brought…

Kevin Spacey showed up on The Tonight Show and did some pretty spot on and hilarious impressions of Christopher Walken, Michael Caine, and Johnny Carson Kevin Spacey is kind of a big deal right now with his role as Frank Underwood in Netflix’s gripping political thriller House of Cards (not to be confused with the BBC’s original production of House of Cards which is actually incredibly dull and hard to get through seeing as I haven’t studied any part of the last 300 years of…
Can we just talk about how amazing it is that Daniel Radcliffe rapped it out on Jimmy Fallon? In case you haven’t seen it, this is what we’re talking about: Relashio! I thought you might need to be pulled out of that spell Daniel Radcliffe just put you under. Radcliffe is one hundred percent known the world over as “Harry Potter.” I don’t think anyone has ever seen a picture of him and went “Hey! That’s Arthur Kipps!” so it was riddikulusly refreshing to see…
All suspicions can be laid to rest: Marvel announces Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther at their live conference on Oct 28th In what felt like reporters huddled around a machine trying to make out morse code, thousands of fans tuned into the live blog from the Marvel conference in CA. Patrick Cavanaugh, Ryan Penagos, and Strommy dictated via the Marvel Studios Special Event feed and Twitter everything that happened at the conference, and here are all the highlights: Joss Whedon was present at the event…
Is It True? Can It Be? Rumors are running rampant on the interwebs that Benedict Cumberbatch is going to play Doctor Strange in 2016. Basically, all we have to say in response to this is: This news break comes from Deadline as they jumped the gun before the official Marvel announcement is made. We can actually expect a real announcement to be official on October 28th. We’re not saying the Cumberbatch/Strange rumor isn’t correct, but based on @AgentM and someone else’s interpretation of his gif…
It’s a bro-down in this first book of the Gentleman Bastards series, The Lies of Locke Lamora If you haven’t heard of The Lies of Locke Lamora you’re probably not alone. Scott Lynch isn’t terribly well known, but after this debut book in the Gentleman Bastards series, his name is beginning to make rounds in the fantasy community. Let me entice you before we go any further into the audiobook itself. If you’re on Larkable, chances are you’re part of a Fandom. The Lies of…
If you’ve read Brandson Sanderson’s first YA novel Steelheart, you’re going to love the novella Mistosis! I actually didn’t wait for the audio recording of Brandon Sanderson’s debut Young Adult novel Steelheart. I went for the hardback as soon as it was available. If you haven’t read Steelheart, you should, and definitely before listening to the free Audible.com recording of Mitosis, as the short story won’t make any sense without it’s predecessor. Steelheart fills the futuristic sci-fi, technologically advanced yet suffering-world void that The Hunger…

The historic and ever popular book Assassin’s Apprentice by Robin Hobb is diminished by Paul Boehmer’s narrating Imagine it: an audiobook we finally don’t recommend. It had to come sometime. The acclaimed book Assassin’s Apprentice is the first in The Farseer Series by Robin Hobb. I’m not giving the book a bad review at all. In fact I’m itching to know what happens next! It’s been praised by fantasy authors such as Brandon Sanderson and George R.R. Martin and is undoubtedly a brilliant story. But…
By this point, Larkable doesn’t have to tell you how amazing Harry Potter is, you just know. But do you know how amazing it is when narrated by Jim Dale? (Image Source One of the very first audiobooks I listened to was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. An 8 hour car ride seemed painfully long and while I have hours of music to listen to, why wouldn’t I listen to Harry Potter instead? Yeah, exactly, that’s an excellent argument, right? Audiobooks were the thing…
