Also we outline our plans for Round Two of the Carpenterbowl. Programming note: DM Tom says at one point that "Paul Anderson" is an example of an auteur director. He meant to say Wes Anderson. Paul Anderson made the Resident Evil movie. Wes Anderson made The Royal Tenenbaums. You can see how he'd get those mixed up.

All hell breaks lose this week as the party fails once again to try and stick to their plan and handle things quietly.

It feels good to be back. Except thanks to the miracle of editing and time travel, it's like we never left. Except for that two months we were gone. Anyway, this was the first episode we recorded after we got back from hiatus, which is why you'll hear us mentioning that it's good to be back. Which it is. Good I mean. To be back.

Everyone, the Carpenterbowl has arrived! In the interdimensional time stream an idea launched out of the heart of the universe and struck the Hijinks crew, the fusion of fantasy sports with a stalwart director of Hollywood's fantasy hills. Each match of the Carpenterbowl will pit two of John Carpenter's films against each other until one remains. And as we go on that gladiatorial journey, the Hijinks crew will select antagonists and allies alike from the worlds he created. We begin with Carpenter's last film versus his first. The Ward. Dark Star. Fight! -Ion

None of these examples are real, but neither is this time line, so dig in and have a listen!

The adventure continues this week as the party picks up where they left of. Well it's sort of adventure. The party has returned to Waterdeep and now engages in that most rare of luxuries, downtime.

It's a super quick mini-episode this week at Plus One to Hijinks. With Memorial Day weekend fast approaching that means KublaCon kicks off today in Burlingame, California.

Marvel's phase 3 is winding down. There have been a lot of movies since the first Iron Man in 2008. See Aaron's totally scientific, and not just an exercise in recency bias, take on each marvel movie produced. See if something is a hit (Guardians of the Galaxy) or miss (The Incredible Hulk). What makes something a hit or miss? Feelings of course. Also, as bonus textual content, here are Netflix's hits and misses: Daredevil Season 1 - Hit, Jessica Jones Season 1 - Hit, Luke Cage Season 1 - Hit, Iron Fist Season 1- Miss, Daredevil Season 1.5 - Miss, The Punisher Season 0.5 - Hit, The Defenders - Miss, The Punisher Season 1 - Hit, Jessica Jones Season 2 - Hit.

The Weaver is dead and surely that means that the party has defeated the worst possibly foe that the Library of Namir could throw at them right? There's no way there's an even darker and more dangerous threat lurking somewhere waiting to destroy them right? Right?! That's mostly rhetorical since we recorded this episode a few months back and we know what's about to happen. May god have mercy on them all... Also on this week's episode: Hunter experiences pain for the first time; Eric is overcompensating; Ion's looking like the man in the mirror; and lord help us but Alton is back on his BS again.

Say have you all heard about this "Infinity War" thing that's coming out this week? Some sort of movie about superheroes if you can believe it. And it turns out, the dang thing was a comic before it was a movie! Isn't that something?!
