The Odyssey concludes with release, purification, and contradiction. A legendary bow and arrow contest sets the stage for Odysseus' rampage through the suitors who tormented his household for so long. The results of this explosion of violence and the conclusion of the story have been discussed and debated for millenia. This episode looks at books 21-24 of The Odyssey, analyzing themes of memory, purification, cycles of violence, animal instinct, fate and coincidence, and more. Homer's The Odyssey is one of the oldest and most enduring stories in all of civilization. Set in the aftermath of the legendary Trojan War, Odysseus, one of it's great heroes, has been lost at sea for decades. As he struggles to return home, the epic poem asks us important questions about history, memory, choice, kindness, leadership, violence, and much more. Even thousands of years later, The Odyssey still matters. -Consider Supporting the Podcast!- Leave a rating or review on apple podcasts or spotify!

Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AnalyticJoin The Normandy For Additional Bonus Audio And Visual Content For All Things Nme+! Join Here: https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0KJoin Analytic Dreamz as he unpacks DISPATCH, the breakout 2025 episodic superhero comedy that sold over 1 million copies in its first 10 days and instantly became a GOTY contender. Developed by AdHoc Studio (ex-Telltale and Ubisoft talent), this anime-styled interactive series follows depowered hero Robert “Mecha Man” Robertson III (Aaron Paul) running the Superhero Dispatch Network in an alternate LA, assigning reformed villains to crises via real-time strategy dispatching and high-stakes hacking minigames.After a brutal 7-year development filled with COVID shutdowns, layoffs, skipped paychecks, and a near-death collapse, Critical Role Productions swooped in mid-2025 to fund Season 1, merch, comics, and future Exandria projects. Launched October 22, 2025 across PC (Steam) and PS5 with weekly two-episode drops, the complete 8-episode season wrapped November 12. Priced at $29.99 (Deluxe with artbook + comics), it peaked at 131K concurrent players, hit Steam global #1, and smashed its 3-year “bull case” sales goal in just three months.Analytic Dreamz breaks down the innovative AFK-able dispatch system, branching dialogue, hero synergies and rivalries, the star-packed voice cast (Laura Bailey, Travis Willingham, Jacksepticeye, MoistCr1TiKaL, Alanah Pearce, Yung Gravy + Matthew Mercer as Shroud), stunning pre-rendered animation by Igloo Studio, 19 accessibility options, and why the “interactive TV” pacing feels like peak Arcane meets The Boys.Despite minor launch bugs (quickly patched) and criticisms around episode length and illusion-of-choice moments, DISPATCH earned 89–90 Metacritic, 97% Steam positive (50K+ reviews), and universal praise for writing, emotional depth, comedy, and revitalizing the Telltale episodic formula. Community hype, influencer cast virality, and Critical Role crossover fueled massive weekly discourse and “Invisigal cleared” memes.With developers openly teasing Season 2 and Aaron Paul leaving the door “definitely ajar,” Analytic Dreamz analyzes if DISPATCH just saved and redefined narrative gaming in 2025.

Analyzing Jinx's character in Arcane.
We got fed some good lore this week. Thanks, Papa Riot! It looks like Riot might be taking some big leaps in how the lore might progress now. The ability to off champions for good can really open up a ton of drama and possibilities. So, we're pretty excited.

Anime Anonymous joins us again this time for Arcane Season 2. We argue whether the multiverse pivot actually helps the story, untangling Jinx as a whole, and where Shimmer and Ekko's rewind fit into that not to mention the mixed feelings that we have on Vi and Jayce and get into a full debate over Ambessa plus a couple of fan-theory rabbit holes like Jinx's likely escape, Heimerdinger futures the whole “no body = not dead” deal. We also compare S1 pacing to S2's choppier but more satisfying structure, call out the intro Easter eggs. Plus a whole lot more. About the anime: Picking up immediately after Jinx's rocket attack on the Piltover council, Season 2 plunges the twin cities into open war. Jinx's act of terror kills Caitlyn's mother, forging Caitlyn into a hardened, revenge-driven military leader, while Vi, torn between her love for Caitlyn and her desperate hope of saving her sister, joins the Enforcers to try and mitigate the conflict between Piltover and Zaun. As the war escalates, it's revealed that Vi and Jinx's adoptive father, Vander, has been monstrously resurrected as the beast Warwick, forcing a devastating family confrontation. The central conflict ultimately shifts as Viktor's "Glorious Evolution" becomes an existential threat to both cities, forcing an uneasy alliance.Next Week's Pick: "Solo Leveling Season 2"Have you had the chance to watch Arcane Season 2 or any of our previous selections?

Odysseus has finally made it home, but the Ithaca he has returned to is almost unrecognizable. "Dangerous men and fools" hold power now, and the island has fallen into disrepair. Odysseus comes up with a plan to destroy the corrupt suitors, and Penelope has her own schemes. The stage is set for The Odyssey to reach it's conclusion. This episode analyzes books 17-20 of The Odyssey, examining themes of leadership, corruption, the nature of dreams, the treatment of migrants and the poor, the foreshadowing of violence, and much more. Homer's The Odyssey is one of the oldest and most enduring stories in all of civilization. Set in the aftermath of the legendary Trojan War, Odysseus, one of it's great heroes, has been lost at sea for decades. As he struggles to return home, the epic poem asks us important questions about history, memory, choice, kindness, leadership, violence, and much more. Even thousands of years later, The Odyssey still matters.

This week we have a special guests guests CJ and Artsy from Anime Anonymous and we kick things off with a small discussion about “what counts as anime,” then we dive into Arcane Season 1 and how it is framed around the undercity vs. topside divide with the main characters Vi and Powder's break that births Jinx, and how well the show is even if you've never played the game. The biggest part is that it was done in a three-episode arc rollout, ruthless cliffhangers, the music that was amazing and the story and character development was amazing for the show we finally hit Hextech vs. Shimmer, talk about the pacing with the flashbacks. And then we finally pick favorites get called: Rick picks Ekko, Jack and CJ pick Jinx, Artsy picks Vi. About the anime: Set in the League of Legends universe, Arcane follows sisters Vi and Powder as a class struggle between the undercity of Zaun and the gleaming city of Piltover boils over. Scientific breakthroughs around Hextech collide with crime, politics, and family fractures, pushing Powder toward the chaotic persona of Jinx while Vi fights to hold onto what's left of their bond.

Ever had that moment when you realize you've become the "veteran adventurer" in your own party? The RPGBOT crew sure has. In this episode, we channel that energy straight into the Unearthed Arcana Arcane Subclasses, dissecting the Enchanter, Necromancer, and Transmuter Wizards from D&D 2024. Expect laughter, existential dread, and a healthy dose of spell slot math as we ask the real question: Can Wizards of the Coast enchant us again, or are we just too old for these saving throws? Show Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the hosts continue their deep dive into the Unearthed Arcana Arcane Subclasses playtest for Dungeons and Dragons (D&D 2024). They explore the evolution of several wizard subclasses: the Enchanter Wizard, Necromancer Wizard, and Transmuter Wizard, and analyze how these changes impact gameplay mechanics, class balance, and overall player experience. The discussion begins on a lighthearted note, as the hosts reflect on aging and nostalgia through stories about concerts and generational shifts in music. This leads naturally into a conversation about how nostalgia and design evolution shape our experiences with tabletop RPGs like D&D. From there, the hosts dig into the details of the Unearthed Arcana wizard subclasses: The Enchanter Wizard's new enchantment mechanics spark a conversation about free will, consent, and how these ethical themes play out in gameplay. The Necromancer Wizard gets a significant rework, with temporary hit points for undead minions, exploding skeleton mechanics, and other game design improvements that enhance tactical and thematic play. The Transmuter Wizard's Transmuter Stone, polymorph mechanics, and restoration spells see meaningful updates that make the subclass more versatile and rewarding to play. Throughout the episode, the hosts consider the balance between fun and mechanics, chain reaction gameplay, and hit dice damage calculations, all while highlighting how Wizards of the Coast is actively listening to player feedback in shaping the upcoming D&D 2024 rules. If you love D&D class analysis, wizard subclass deep dives, and thoughtful conversations about game design and player engagement, this episode of the RPGBOT Podcast is a must-listen. Key Takeaways Feeling nostalgic? The hosts open with a candid reflection on aging, concerts, and how nostalgia connects to our love of gaming. The Enchanter Wizard subclass has evolved to offer richer roleplay opportunities and more engaging mechanics—but not without debate around split enchantment and ethical implications. The Necromancer Wizard gains thematic depth with undead minion improvements, temporary hit points, and a delightfully destructive exploding undead mechanic. The Transmuter Wizard subclass sees significant improvements—its Transmuter Stone now provides more tactical flexibility, while polymorph and restoration mechanics enhance its role in party support. Hit dice and chain reaction gameplay significantly affect how damage and encounters unfold, underscoring the importance of thoughtful class balancing. The Unearthed Arcana playtest demonstrates Wizards of the Coast's responsiveness to player feedback and commitment to refining D&D 2024 subclass design. The hosts highlight that balancing fun vs. optimization remains key to an enjoyable Dungeons and Dragons experience. Ultimately, this discussion celebrates both nostalgia and innovation in tabletop RPG design, showing how evolving rules can breathe new life into classic classes.

Crash Bandicoot is getting an animated series at Netflix with WildBrain partnering on production. Expect a bright, slapstick tone that leans into classic Crash chaos, with Cortex likely in the villain seat and a deep bench of side characters. We talk why Netflix is a strong home for game adaptations, how this compares to earlier attempts, and what details still need to be announced like casting and a showrunner. This is a nostalgia win for longtime players and an easy on-ramp for kids who are meeting Crash for the first time. 00:00 Crash Bandicoot series announced for Netflix, WildBrain on board00:12 Tone expectations: silly, slapstick, colorful, classic Crash energy00:17 Appeal for families and longtime players00:29 Earlier TV attempt that stalled and why Netflix is a better fit00:34 Track record of game adaptations on Netflix00:45 What we are watching next: casting and showrunner newsNetflix is developing a Crash Bandicoot animated series with WildBrain, aiming for high-energy slapstick and bold visuals.The show targets a wide audience, pairing kid-friendly fun with nostalgia for fans who grew up with the games.A prior version was explored elsewhere but did not move forward, which makes Netflix's infrastructure and history with game adaptations a promising sign.Big open questions remain, including voice cast, showrunner, and release timing.If Netflix taps into Cortex, Crash, and the extended roster of allies and foes, the series has room for episodic humor and fan-service deep cuts.“Crash Bandicoot is coming to Netflix… it should be silly slapstick, very colorful.”“Kids are going to dig it and the parents are going to be like, oh yeah, I played that game.”“We've seen Netflix take video game properties and turn them into really successful animations.”“The next thing we're looking for is casting and who's going to be the showrunner.”“I'm always down for nostalgia.”Enjoy the episode?

Nothing says Dungeons & Dragons like a heated debate over baseball stats and spell slots. Before diving into Unearthed Arcana updates, the RPGBOT crew takes a wild detour through the world of snacks, sports, and sore losers. Tyler shows off his prized Seattle Sounders memorabilia, Ash relives the heartbreak of a bad inning, and Randall celebrates the Cubs like they just crit a dragon. Then, in true RPGBOT fashion, the conversation magically transforms into an analysis of the Arcane Archer subclass—because when life throws curveballs, we cast Magic Missile. Help Creators Roll a Natural 20 Hey listeners! Before we start slinging arrows and conjuring elementals, remember: your ratings and reviews are the Inspiration Points of podcasting. Whether on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen, take a moment to rate, review, and share RPGBOT.Podcast. Every five-star review powers our continued quest for knowledge, chaos, and crunchy D&D rules analysis. And yes, Randall's giving away loot—because adventurers who leave reviews always find better treasure. Show Notes In this episode, the RPGBOT crew slides from sports talk to spellcraft in record time. After sharing their favorite baseball rivalries—including Red Sox vs. Yankees heartbreaks and the Cubs' long-awaited triumph—they pitch a new conversation: Dungeons & Dragons Unearthed Arcana updates for Arcane Archer, Tattooed Warrior, and Conjurer Wizard. The hosts analyze the Arcane Archer subclass redesign, exploring how ranged attacks now interact with spells and how the subclass feels more satisfying to play in D&D 5e. They then unpack the Tattooed Warrior—a mystical martial archetype that trades spellcasting for permanent magical ink, bringing new abilities like Beast Tattoos and Celestial Tattoos into play. Finally, they summon up the Conjurer Wizard subclass, praising the new Durable Summons and Splintered Summons mechanics that make conjuration magic both tactical and terrifying. The group discusses the ongoing struggle for martial class balance in D&D 5e, the Weapon Mastery updates coming in 2024, and the limitations of customization in tabletop RPGs compared to other systems. Despite the in-depth mechanics, the humor never fades—Tyler laments his dice luck, Ash declares summoning “a sport,” and Randall insists that snacks are the foundation of all creative builds. Key Takeaways The Arcane Archer Unearthed Arcana update finally gives martial ranged classes something to cheer about. Tattooed Warrior's redesign focuses on unique, flavorful combat options without relying on spells. Conjurer Wizard subclass updates—especially Durable Summons and Splintered Summons—enhance battlefield control and flexibility. Martial vs. spellcaster balance remains a point of debate, though Weapon Mastery in 2024 shows promise. Customization in D&D 5e is still more limited than in systems like Pathfinder 2e or Starfinder 2e. Listener reviews and engagement are vital to helping independent RPG podcasts thrive. The RPGBOT crew proves that humor, rivalry, and camaraderie make even a mechanics-heavy discussion worth the listen. “Get in the Game” Next time you're watching the big game, grab your dice bag. Draft your own fantasy team of Arcane Archers, Tattooed Warriors, and Conjurer Wizards—because the only thing better than a walk-off home run is landing a critical hit from 600 feet away. Play ball, roll initiative, and remember: no one likes a foul ball… unless it's a fireball. Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

Swamp Thing is back in the Bayou! With a new suit and accent, Dick Durock once again stars in The Return of Swamp Thing (1989). A loose sequel to the 1982 film, Abbie Arcane (Heather Locklear) appears at Anton Arcane's mansion, seeking to find out what happened to her mother many years prior.Little does she know, her DNA is a key ingredient that Arcane needs to make his magical swamp formula! The good news is that she loves plants and Swamp Thing likes to follow around and protect young women.
In books 11-16 of The Odyssey, Odysseus runs through a murderous string of mythological creatures on his long journey home. The Underworld, seductive Sirens, deadly whirlpools, and six headed monsters are menacing obstacles to overcome, but they also represent different elements of evil in Homer's Greek world. By the end of the this section, Odysseus has finally made it home and is reunited with his son Telemachus. All that's left is to figure out how to take his island back. This episode analyzes themes in the story of death, grief, evil, loneliness, family, and more. Homer's The Odyssey is one of the oldest and most enduring stories in all of civilization. Set in the aftermath of the legendary Trojan War, Odysseus, one of it's great heroes, has been lost at sea for decades. As he struggles to return home, the epic poem asks us important questions about history, memory, choice, kindness, leadership, violence, and much more. Even thousands of years later, The Odyssey still matters. If you're reading along, the next podcast will cover books 17-20! -Consider Supporting the Podcast!- Leave a rating or review on apple podcasts or spotify!

The answer may surprise you…Why do 'good' people support evil leaders? What allure does fascism hold that enables it to garner popular support? To what extent are ordinary people responsible for the development of authoritarian evil? This 13 part podcast series explores these massive questions and more through the lens of Nazi Germany and the ordinary people who collaborated or resisted as the Third Reich expanded. You'll not only learn about the horrifying, surprising, and powerful ways in which the Nazis seized and maintained power, but also fundamental lessons about what fascism is-how to spot it and why it spreads.

As the secrets of the House deepen and the mystery of his life becomes more sinister, Piranesi must discover who he is and how this brings him closer to the “Great and Secret Knowledge” that the House contains. Touching on themes of memory, identity, mental health, knowledge, reason, experience, meaning, reflection, ideals, and more…Piranesi will be remembered as one of the great books of the 21st century.

Directed by the great Wes Craven, Swamp Thing (1982) is a hard-to-find cult classic that follows the adventures of mad scientist Anton Arcane as he chases down a magic formula that has transformed Dr. Alec Holland into Swamp Thing!Swamp Thing also protects (and stares at) government agent Alice Cable as she is on the run from Arcane also. Nothing says romance like a bath in a murky swamp filled with alligators!

Howdy doody toonarinos.We watched some sci-fi cartoons this week, we think anyway. One of them might not be sci-fi? We're not sure.We watched Arcane, a show based on a video game apparently, and Scavenger's Reign, a victim of HBO being a bunch of tossers.---https://www.patreon.com/ToonhoundsRich Masters - @richmasters.bsky.socialSpivzy - @spivzy.bsky.socialmusic by VidaZen https://vidazen.carrd.co/
Arcane não é só uma adaptação de videogame - é um marco na animação contemporânea. No novo episódio do Cinem(ação), Rafael Arinelli, Júlia Barth e Rodrigo Basso recebem o artista e jogador de LoL Vítor Campos para falar das camadas dessa série que conquistou fãs e críticos no mundo todo.O papo começa pela trama intensa das irmãs Vi e Jinx, explorando como a disputa entre Piltover e Zaun se transforma em um retrato poderoso sobre desigualdade social, dilemas morais e tragédia. Daí seguimos para o impacto estético da obra: uma animação que parece pintura em movimento, trilha sonora que vibra com a narrativa e um design de personagens capaz de comunicar complexidade em cada detalhe.Também discutimos a força transmídia de Arcane, que ao mesmo tempo acolhe quem nunca jogou League of Legends e aprofunda a mitologia para os veteranos. E claro, não deixamos de comparar as duas temporadas, analisando ritmo, construção dramática e os momentos que mais nos emocionaram.Se você quer entender por que Arcane se tornou uma obra-prima e redefiniu o padrão para adaptações audiovisuais, esse episódio é para você.

This episode delves into books 6-10 of The Odyssey. Odysseus has finally found a helping hand on his journey home, but before he can go, he must tell the story of where he came from. Lotus eaters, cannibals, cyclops, and the seductively terrifying Circe highlight this portion of the story. The "Homeric Question" is also examined. Who was the author of The Odyssey and how was the story originally told? Themes of grief, memory, forgetting, guest rite, greek colonization, marital fidelty, and more are discussed. Homer's The Odyssey is one of the oldest and most enduring stories in all of civilization. Set in the aftermath of the legendary Trojan War, Odysseus, one of it's great heroes, has been lost at sea for decades. As he struggles to return home, the epic poem asks us important questions about history, memory, choice, kindness, leadership, violence, and much more. Even thousands of years later, The Odyssey still matters. If you're reading along, the next podcast will cover books 11-16! -Consider Supporting the Podcast!- Leave a rating or review on apple podcasts or spotify!

The answer may surprise you…Why do 'good' people support evil leaders? What allure does fascism hold that enables it to garner popular support? To what extent are ordinary people responsible for the development of authoritarian evil? This 13 part podcast series explores these massive questions and more through the lens of Nazi Germany and the ordinary people who collaborated or resisted as the Third Reich expanded. You'll not only learn about the horrifying, surprising, and powerful ways in which the Nazis seized and maintained power, but also fundamental lessons about what fascism is-how to spot it and why it spreads.

As the secrets of the House deepen and the mystery of his life becomes more sinister, Piranesi must discover who he is and how this brings him closer to the “Great and Secret Knowledge” that the House contains. Touching on themes of memory, identity, mental health, knowledge, reason, experience, meaning, reflection, ideals, and more…Piranesi will be remembered as one of the great books of the 21st century.
