Hey guys! Due to some technical difficulties we don’t have a new episode for you this week, so we thought we would jump in our time travel machine that’s suspiciously shaped like a police box and go back to our Batman V. Superman episode, which featured special guests Alex Marshall-Brown and Armond Richards. It was a blast to record and we all managed to survive the brawl between the supes and the bat. See you next week with a new episode!

Meanwhile, Fetter, Yewsiff, and Leysa stake out the Rest of Eldath and attempt to come up with some kind of plan to deal with the problem at hand. Naturally, things don’t go entirely as planned.
Sam and Lord of the Rings offer advice on scheduling D&D sessions and offering grace to our elders.

EVE’S BAYOU, the feature directorial debut from actress Kasi Lemmons, had a $6M budget and an entirely black cast. There are zero white people in this film – not even wandering by in the background – which seems like a pretty amazing feat for 1997 and an unknown director. At the time (and unfortunately for many years to come), conventional wisdom was that dramas strictly about black people simply couldn’t bring in audiences, but EVE’S BAYOU made almost $15M worldwide – more than double its budget – and is a critically loved film that people still talk about today. It’s number 99 on the highest grossing films of 1997, which may sound like a little number, but let’s put that in context. It came out the same year as TITANIC. And MEN IN BLACK. And GROSSE POINTE BLANK. Ok GROSSE POINTE BLANK didn’t do Titanic numbers (nobody did) but it’s a great movie and I’m not going to just skip over it.

Turns out there’s a “Special Epilogue” that connects this to “Gargantua-2” that’s absolutely hilarious. Go check it out and then come back. We’ll wait. Oh, you want the link?
Awesome, right? Too bad more TV shows don’t adopt this method of teasing future seasons. Anyway, enjoy this week’s super fun episode.
Today our hero sits down with his former roommate and good friend Brewer to talk about the release of World of Worldcraft classic. They also take a trip in the way back machine to talk about how WoW changed the lives of those who played it.
Special Thanks to all the Moms who brought Mt.Dew and Pizza rolls to the basement.
This week on the podcast we discuss Brightburn, a film with a promising and interesting premise, which falls apart in almost every way. Join us as we try to make sense of the decision-making at play and try to find some bright spots in this iffy flick.
In any investigation there are suspects, and the all-tiefling party split up to cover as much ground as they can to solve this strange mystery. Yewsif and Leysa talk to the head cleric as well as one of the relief clerks to get a better sense of the situation. They also talk with a potential victim, but he’s…a bit much. Meanwhile, Taslinn and Fetter try their luck at a prominent pastry shop.
Sam talks about the ingredients to forming successful friendships as an adult.
