I hope you're ready for part 2. We've got family abandonment, alien perversion, duels to the ego death, fish people, jellyfish people (they're different), and of course lots of drugs.

Apologies, we had some issues with John's audio on this one. Ben and John sit down to discuss the time-honored tradition of Overpopulation Fiction. Is it dead? Is it more relevant than ever before? Can Ben ruin John's career by tricking him int...

This is without a doubt the strangest book I have ever read. I love it.

Are you ready for the Sanderlanche?

Content Warning: Explicit Sexual Content. The one in which Feyre and Rhys make it to second base. 

The Beowulf comparison begins...

This one went off the rails immediately. Nate is obsessed with Rhys's length and Ben keeps thinking about different ways to use ash wood to kill the fey. It takes us about 30 minutes to get to the point where they actually talk about the story....

 And I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there I'll tell you how I overthrew the Balrog and became Gandalf the White... 

This week we tackle a current topic... well from like 2 months ago when we put it up on the patreon to be voted on. I don't think anyone is talking about the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remake anymore so we're a little late to the party. That's ...
