Look What They’ve Done to My Book, Ma… – by Paula & Terry Erdmann
The Unfettered Critic – April 2018
A Wrinkle in Time, Madeleine L’Engle’s award-winning 1962 novel, is beloved by generations of readers. It is “science fantasy”—too fanciful to be considered science fiction, but brimming with science-y theories […]
Yielding to the Future: Star Trek: Discovery – by Paula & Terry Erdmann
The Unfettered Critic – March 2018
We aren’t enamored of streaming services.

The Unfettered Critic – September 2017

The Classical Side of the Hill – by Paula & Terry Erdmann
The Unfettered Critic – August 2017
By the time you read this, the migration will have begun.
Dozens of classically trained, world-class musicians will be returning to the stage on Britt Hill, where Conductor Teddy Abrams will […]
A Superhero(ine) for Our Times – by Paula & Terry Erdmann
The Unfettered Critic – July 2017

Cold Comfort – by Paula & Terry Erdmann
The Unfettered Critic – June 2017

The Britt pre-invasion – by Paula & Terry Erdmann
The Unfettered Critic – May 2017
