Of all things Geek. I am…
It would seem illogical at best to expect that a physical game like Magic: The Gathering would be my entrance into the digital world and the many communities and chats of Twitch, but that is exactly how it happened. And in my case, I’m still close enough to the beginning to understand how it happened.
My podcast, The Palmer Files, is a prime example of my interest in beginnings at the moment, so I figured I would track how this all went down.

We all know who Danny Trejo is. How you might know the noted American actor is as much an interesting game as it is with any other actor. Which movie you first saw him in may determine what comes to mind, though he does have a type.
There is a new generation, however, that is getting to know him as something other than an actor; he is also a restauranteur.

Greetings readers of AgentPalmer.com, I am back to share another list with you. This time it’s an A to Z list of my favorite movies. This list is not the end all be all of my favorite movies, and in some cases, certain movies may be my favorite now but may not stay my favorite. Tastes change, and with the media machine churning out new films constantly (even if it may have slowed down for the moment) it’s inevitable. So let’s get into it, shall we?

Based on the graphic novels of the same name, The Old Guard, starring Charlize Theron, is one of the best modern independent comic adaptations to grace the big screen in recent memory, AMC’s Preacher was pretty solid too.
But one of the unfortunate things about The Old Guard is the problematic trailer. I was informed by some people to go in knowing as little as possible, so I avoided the trailer itself. My partner was not so lucky, and some of the twists and turns in the first third of the film were all spoiled in that trailer, which I have since seen.
