RPG

Jim, Mike, and Russ host the first ever official CFTP podcast where they talk about where the next season of CFTP is going (nowhere), how to eat a door, and what D&D stats Popeye would have. Segments include: CFTP Update Mike's Really Good Idea Answer Or Else Ask Reddit Life Hacks with Russ

Trigger warnings - death, loss, sadness, depression, very bad things. Normally RPG is a funny show.  This... isn't a funny show.  If you're looking for jokes and goofs and insane robot trivia, skip over this one.  In fact, even if you aren't, you probably want to skip over it. In what I can only describe as an "intimate" episode of RPG, I talk about what's been going on the last few months and where I've been.  Normal RPG will resume.  Just not... today.

It's a special birthday surprise for Sammy, as she and Jim are joined this episode by their cohost from Raising The Next Generation, Jacque (Jim's wife, Sammy's mom) on their way to see The Nut Job 2 and The Emoji Movie.  

Back by popular demand, we resume Raising the Next Generation with where Star Trek TNG began... Encounter at Farpoint. Sam and her cohost dad watch through the first part of the pilot episode and meet old friends and new. And Q. Who is neither friend nor foe, but instead horrible random force of nature and also Discord from MLP.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?  If so, we flatter the holy crap out of the McElroy Brothers and their hit podcast My Brother, My Brother, and Me in this week's episode. Recorded last year after the announcement of the incoming McElroy babies (who were born in the fall of 2016), several teams of podcasters and fans combined to create podcast... fanart... filler... something, in the hopes of giving something back to the McElroys for all the years of good good goofs. Most of these projects didn't get very far... but ours did.  So join us, now, as we travel back in time to that one time when Jim Hanson, Jon Baley, and Tristan Morris all took their turn pretending to be the hosts of My Brother, My Brother, and Me.

Armored Sentai Viewranger aims to tell the brave men and women of the Power Rangers fandom who have taken it upon themselves to explore a lost and forgotten corner of Power Rangers/Sentai mythos and raise the profile of shows previously unavailable in the US to that of their more more famous brothers and sisters. Join Viewranger Green (Jim) and Yellow (Kat) as we explore the very first episode of Dairanger - here - and marvel at how... good and bad it looks, all at the same time.

The "Rundown Til Sundown" is a movie podcast where hosts Jim and Sammy Hanson talk about new movies. Now, if you're thinking to yourself, "wait a minute, self, Gumbiecat already has a pretty good movie review podcast", you're right... but this isn't about reviews, it's about PREviews.   As in, movies we're ABOUT to see. Literally, about to see.  Like, we're at the drive in, waiting for the movies to start, killing time.  Since both hosts bring their own expertise into this week's movies - Transformers: The Last Night for Jim and Captain Underpants for Sammy - they try to explain (and justify) their respective movie franchises to one another.  And since both of these are adaptations of different source material, talking points include the difference between Adaptation Decay and Adaptation Distillation, and how to get around hypnosis superhero curses.

RPG meets the cast of new podcast Tragic Missile, a live-play D&D podcast being put together by GumbieCat alum Jon Baley. After meeting and greeting the players, we then debut the pilot episode.

In a "very special" episode of RPG, Jim and his wife Jacque talk to their 7 year old daughter about one of the important facts of life... Star Trek: The Next Generation. The entire Hanson clan sits down to watch a "good, solid episode" of early TNG, Season 2, Episode 11, Contagion

For the inaugural episode of Random Podcast Generator, join Jim as he offers up one of his own probably-abandoned projects - the pilot episode of a high-concept combination of podcast and gameshow called Answer or Else.   The players - friends of the show and regular victims of Jim's whims MIke Dellheim and Russ Hannula - must navigate their way through a maze of questions from Jim's own brain.  Questions that are too hard, too easy, or too stupid to answer without seriously doubting yourself.  But you have to answer... it's in the title.  You have to... well, you know.
