I would like, if I may, to take you on a strange journey. Here we’ll cover all things nerdy. Mostly RPGs, but also Film and TV, comics, and sketch comedy/improv. Don't Panic. And don't forget your towel. 4⃣2⃣
In this episode, I discuss many things Sword & Sorcery related*, including my favorite related movie tropes, D&D (both game and movie), my favorites from the genre, and the art of knowing when to take a pee break at the movie theater while missing the minimum amount of what the story has to offer. *mostly(Music Courtesy of Epidemic Sound)One Last Battle – Edgar HoppWhen All Kings Fall – Edgar HoppBreaker of Chains – Jon BjorkArrow Rain – Bonnie GraceNow We Fight – Bonnie GraceDeorc Decuple – FormantXStealing Mushrooms – The Fly Guy FivePersonal Vendetta – Edgar HoppPhoenix Rising – Edgar HoppLast Strike For Glory – Dream CaveLeap of Faith – Edgar HoppA Million Upheavals – Edgar HoppTowards Dawn – Reynard SeidelSuperhero Story 2 – Fredrik Ekstrom

"Paper Girls" stirred up some memories of my paper route in the '80's! Don't worry, dude. Everything's copacetic.
How's that for clickbait?Please join me for 12.5 minutes of reminiscing on one of the greatest years* of quality, entertaining, and star defining movies to ever fill theaters and drive-ins! Can you guess at what year I'm thinking of? Hint: It's in the 80's! And please: No talking during our Feature Presentation! *Possibly THE greatest.
Here I rank the four Thor movies, True Believers! Excelsior!
Here are my thoughts and reminiscences on one of the greatest game shows ever: Match Game! Specifically, Match Game '75. Where are they now? WHO are they, now?
