Classic fantasy fans, this one’s for you! Jim and his guests Bill & Glenn, the hosts of the Non-Terrestrial Half-Life YouTube channel, dive into Jim’s Top 10 timeless fantasy series that absolutely deserve modern adaptation, plus an honorable mention that could steal the spotlight if done right, along with additional contributions from our guests. From dragons on distant worlds to epic multiversal wars, these are the stories that built the genre — and could captivate a whole new generation with today’s cinematic storytelling.
