Mikhail Horowitz is Steve's guest. He's becoming a regular. His essay is about "Not so Great Expectations". Hilarious.Also Harry is set on performing impossible tasks. And he does them! You want a nail hammered in with Jello? You wanna hear Maple Leaf Rag played on Steve's arm by a dummy who's never played piano in his life and has wooden fingers? Then you've come to the right podcast. Steve also plays "We Are Americans". It's funny, it's original, it's a protest...sort of. And Emo Philips, one of the best stand up comedians ever is featured from the Hasty Pudding Theater.
We decipher the puzzle that is the new Nation's League format. Also we talk the first Al Classico, the artist formerly known as the Battle of Alberta, between FC Edmonton & Cavalry FC Prospects September 29 at Spruce Meadows... Also Harry keeps firing shots at Ottawa Fury
Some are AMAZING! Some are even SPECTACULAR! But most are not. This week to celebrate the launch of Spider-man on the PS4 we go through Superhero games and find out why there are so many Spider-man games (we Purge if we don't get them), where did all the movie tie-ins go, why there isn't a SINGLE Wonder Woman game and what the future holds. Also Harry get's VERY confused by Batman.
Epic are going very much all in with their Fortnite tourney (to the tune of $100 million), so just how big can it get and will it be the event to properly break into the mainstream? Not just a big eSports event, but to the World a sporting event that we all want to watch (and therefore all the big boys will want to advertise at). Also Harry gets to talk about DOTA, which is nice.
This week Jared and James dive deep into Dementors; Where do they come from? How did they manifest into the world? Is the Dementors Kiss a punishment anyone deserves? Also Harry learns more about the events that lead to his parents death! Be aware! This is a re-read for us and we delve into spoilers and wider theories surrounding the series.

This week it's all about those narrative choices or the lack thereof. Do we prefer an "A to B" story or an "A to J (via D, G and 84b)"? Does a really great story do away with any need for binary choices in order for us to feel fully engaged? Also Harry is definitely a robot - confirmed.
It shouldn't work, but it does... This week we take a look at those video games that, on paper, don't sound like they should really work but somehow do. Also Harry gets excited by Birmingham flavoured DOTA and neither of us are quite done with Sonic yet. Poor, poor, tired out Sonic.
Part two of our ghost extravaganza. Harry chronicles the adventures of the Warrens as they investigate hauntings of two families. The only thing greater than the torment of a trapped spirit is the sexual appetite of Ed Warren. Also Harry finds his true calling as a psychic medium.

Michael Gomez is here to aid us in our discussion of "Nerd for a Day" and that is most certainly a boom. What's happening to America's sort of favorite white family this time around? Stephanie is casually decimating the spirit of a classmate. A hug therapist is bringing Danny and Joey closer, literally if not figuratively. DJ is studying Michelle as part of some vague English assignment. Also: Harry is back. BOOM. You'll learn a lot about Michael in our interview, including his penchant for catch phrases and predilection for a particular part of the human anatomy. No, it's not the kneecap. Have you taken a moment to give us a positive iTunes review? Be a boom and do that today! XOXO
