A contract forged in grief. A butler who never misses. And a comeback that turns a stylish mystery into a gothic epic. We take you through Black Butler's evolution with fresh eyes, from the early setup to Book of Circus, the razor-edged Book of Murder, and the kinetic spectacle of Book of the Atlantic. Along the way, we unpack why Ciel's resolve still stings, how Sebastian's charm doubles as a threat, and why the servants' quiet loyalty is the beating heart of the manor.Circus is where the series sharpens: missing children, exploited performers, and an order that forces a boy to choose consequence over comfort. The OVA's murder game tests his standing with the Crown while sneaking Snake into the family. Then Atlantic blows the doors off: Undertaker revealed, Bizarre Dolls defined, and a fight that reframes death as an editable file. It's not just action; it's philosophy with a scalpel. We also talk Lizzy's transformation from ribbons to swordplay, Soma and Agni's warmth, and Lau and Ran-Mao's dangerous poise.Public School plays with British prestige while showing how institutions hide rot, stitching the film's revelations back into canon so the plot flows. Emerald Witch might be the most elegant con yet: werewolves as cover for chemical warfare, a prodigy caged by a fairy tale, and Ciel's trauma flaring into a psychological blindfold. Sullivan and Wolfram complicate the ledger with real tenderness, even as Sebastian reminds us a futureless soul is a meal not worth savoring. Finally, we tease the manga's Blue arcs—identity, twins, revenge—and what that means for the Phantomhive name, Undertaker's long game, and the next wave of adaptation.If Black Butler hooked you years ago or you've just leapt aboard with the new seasons, this deep dive gives you context, character insight, and a clear path through the canon.

Dragons fall, rumors fly, and somehow the scariest battlefield is a tea party. We dive into Secrets of the Silent Witch and unpack why this “magic school” story trades big spells for quiet, clever moves—and why that choice works more often than it should. Monica Everett's voiceless magic isn't a gimmick; it's a system. She builds spells like an engineer, crunching wind, distance, and structure into formulas that snap open problems as if they were chess positions. That brainy approach reshapes everything from mind control to barrier design, and it keeps the tension grounded even when the show sidesteps flashy battles. If you came for nonstop action, you'll get a dragon appetizer and a mystery main course. We talk through whether that swap is satisfying.The cast around Monica is a gallery of frictions and allies. Nero, the snarky familiar, and Ren, a deadpan wind spirit, steal scenes while guarding secrets. Lewis struts between menace and mentor, a barrier savant who hates being outdone. Claudia enters as a “perfect noble” and exits as a sharp, medically gifted foil. Isabel plays the theatrical “villainess,” weaponizing etiquette to defend Monica while fanning the legend she must hide. Even the chess club turns into a character crucible—where pride, humility, and a single castle move ripple through relationships. Then there's Bernie, whose insecurity curdles into obsession, and Casey, whose politics turn to sabotage. We tease out how these arcs sketch a world where class lines, new money, and factional loyalty matter as much as mana.Under the campus calm, larger stakes hum. Whispers say the first prince doesn't even want the throne. Felix sees more than he admits and may already suspect who protects him. Assassins come from the wrong side of the aisle, and an unseen power tugs on strings. The season drops intriguing lore crumbs and then wanders, so we call out pacing stumbles, the odd midseason recap, and the threads that demand a second season to resolve. Still, the art shines, the voice work feels lived-in, and the romance undercurrent adds warmth without drowning the plot. Most of all, Monica's silence reads human—strength born from anxiety, not aloofness.If you like fantasy that privileges brains over brute force, social chess over spell spam, and characters whose flaws drive the story, this one's worth your queue. Hit play, then tell us: keep the slow-burn mystery or turn up the combat next season?

Summary: Muahaha! Cower in fear, dear listeners, as Holly and Devin discuss villains… who need a paycheck too. Whether you've worked in Corporate America or just like to imagine hell as an office building, these books will be a home run. Topics Discussed: The Dagger (3:26): Holly discussed Sign Here by Claudia Lux, a satirical exploration of morality and corporate offices following Peyote Trip, a caseworker in the Deals Department of the fifth floor of Hell. Responsible for securing soups by making deals with humans desperate enough to sign away their afterlives, Peyote is on the cusp of a promotion. If he can sign up one more member of the Harrison family he'll get a “Complete Set” - five souls from the same lineage. Holly's key takeaways were: Hell's depiction as a monotonous office environment serves as a critique of bureaucratic inefficiencies and the dehumanizing aspects of corporate life. Peyote's journey reflects a deeper quest for self-understanding and the possibility of redemption, even within the confines of Hell. The novel explores the gray areas of morality, questioning the binary notions of good and evil through its characters' choices and motivations. The Harrison family's dynamics highlight the impact of generational secrets and the lengths individuals go to protect or escape their lineage. For Holly, the premise of the story was stronger than the execution. While it was entertaining throughout, the two storylines of Peyote in Helly and the Harrison Family on Earth don't come together as strongly and clearly as they could have. The Heart (13:20): Devin discussed Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer, a BookTok-sourced Romantasy following Evie Sage, a young woman lying in the magical kingdom of Rennedawn who is in desperate need of a job. After an unfortunate firing and a spell of bad luck, she stumbles into a chance encounter with The Villain and ends up hired as his personal assistant. While yes, there are body parts swinging from the ceiling, his castle runs much like any business and Evie can handle the paperwork. Devin's key takeaways were: This novel highlights a recent publishing trend of storylines and authors becoming popular on social media sites like TikTok before they are published, then being signed by publishing companies to ride the wave of their popularity. Pros include increased diversity and a resurgence of popularity of reading in the zeitgeist, but Holly and Devin review cons like rushed editing and expected tropes as well. Maehrer explores the idea that even villains deserve loyalty, empathy, and maybe even a decent lunch break. It's a workplace comedy... if the workplace had torture chambers. The absurdity of running an evil empire like an office is what makes the “villainous job” theme shine. Capitalism meets chaos magic. While not spicy at all, there are romantic elements to the story. The push-pull between danger and attraction for Evie and The Villain is delicious, especially when the boss could literally smite someone - but instead just broods silently when Evie talks to another guy. Hot On the Shelf (35:54): Holly: My Friends by Fredrik Backman Devin: That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Human by Kimberly Lemming What's Making Our Hearts Race (41:47): Holly: The Last of Us Season 2 on HBO Max Devin: Volunteering in her local community Instagram: @heartsanddaggerspod Website: www.heartsanddaggerspod.com If you like what you hear, please tell your friends and rate and review us on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so that we can find our perfect audience.

Deep within the ruins of an ancient Sith temple, Kylo Ren stood with his unstable blade crackling, caught between admiration and resentment, as Darth Vader emerged, his presence suffocating, the air itself recoiling. Then Moff Gideon entered, while Asajj Ventress prowled the edges, twin sabres igniting, her gaze calculating. A metallic rasp followed as General Grievous stepped forward, stolen lightsabres humming in his grasp. Past, present and future - each a force of ambition, none willing to yield. This was no mere gathering. This was Star Wars Villainous: Power of the Dark Side by Michael Mulvihill and Prospero Hall from Ravensburger with art from Piotr Rossa and Lucas Torquato.Read the full review here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/05/03/star-wars-villainous-power-of-the-dark-side-saturday-review/Useful LinksStar Wars Villainous: Power of the Dark Side: https://www.ravensburger.co.uk/en-GB/products/games/strategy-games/star-wars-villainous-27361Rulebook: https://www.ravensburger.co.uk/gameinstructions/ecm/Spielanleitungen/27361_anl_2361098%5B1%5D.pdfRules Video: https://youtu.be/dmppgKarncY?si=5S6e_uxH4--djKhCRavensburger: https://www.ravensburger.co.uk/BGG listing: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/358800/star-wars-villainous-power-of-the-dark-sideDisney Villainous: The Worst Takes it All review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/04/12/disney-villainous-the-worst-takes-it-all-saturday-review/MusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/)Music from the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story trailer - cover version.Music: "ascending" provided by mobygratis.SupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlogPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblogWebsite: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/support/

Elton Prince and Kit Wilson woke up super early to join us in studio to talk about tonight's WWE SmackDown event at the Moody Center. We also found out that the British duo know more about America than most American's!!!
You might know the actor Langston Kerman from his roles on the television shows English Teacher, Insecure, and The Boys. You might know him also from lengthy board game nights at his house where explaining and comprehending the arcane, byzantine rules of a game is a necessary labor of the occasion.

Thomas Alva Edison has always been portrayed as the greatest, most prolific by far American inventor. The man obtained over a thousand patents in his lifetime and is credited with inventing or improving upon devices that changed our world, our lives forever: the lightbulb, the phonograph, the motion picture camera, telegraphs, telephones, x-rays, and batteries. The list goes on. His contemporaries were blown away. But in recent decades, many have come to doubt Edison's genius. More recent Edison critics take a look at his impressive body of work with scrutiny. "He didn't really invent all of those things," they say. Modern minds are split on Thomas Edison. He's either a great American hero, inventor of our modern world, or an idea stealing fraud who ripped off other great minds and claimed the credit. But who was he really? Was Thomas Edison the real deal or do we need to rewrite the history books, giving back credit where credit is due? Let's fix that.Check out Vital Spring premium mineral replenisher hereCheck out befree Adaptive Clothing here Support the show!

In today's show, I explain why Calvinism has earned such a controversial reputation and why I strongly oppose it. We dive deep into the dark origin story of Calvinism, exploring how much of its foundation comes from the philosophies of men like Augustine and Plato rather than the Bible. From John Calvin's troubling actions in Geneva to the disturbing theological implications of immutability, you'll see why Calvinism, in my view, not only distorts the nature of God but also leads to a dangerous misrepresentation of Christianity. Watch to learn why Calvin's harsh treatment of heretics and his unbiblical reliance on pagan philosophy still affects the Calvinist worldview today. 📖Want access to Over 2,000 hours of Bob Enyart Bible Studies from an Anti-Calvinist, Open Theist perspective?
