Critical Thinking 12: Escape from the Underdark Apr 22, 2017

Show notes

This week on Critical Thinking we diverge from our previously aligned numerical image and are re-watching Episode 13: Escape from the Underdark. Episode 12 was a GM Tips pilot show, so we skipped it, because that's not what we're here for!

Critical Thinking 09: Yug'Voril Uncovered Apr 22, 2017

Show notes

CONTENT WARNING: From the timespan of 18:12 to 38:58 we discuss the culture of sexual objectification and violence in narrative and media, also known as rape culture. We do our best to respectfully speak on the subject over the course of twenty minutes, but we understand that there may be listeners who are uncomfortable with the topic and will not want to listen to it. As such, we provide this content warning in the description - and we make it blatantly clear that we're going to be talking about it in the podcast - so skip ahead if you don't want to listen.

Know that nothing we talk about during that discussion comes from a place of ignorance; we are all well aware of the impact this discussion can have on people, and indeed the impact it has on one of our rewatchers who is a survivor of emotional and physical abuse from former relationships. That being said, we felt it was a topic that needed to be discussed and did not wish to shy away from it.

Aside from that, enjoy our narrative delve into episode 09 of Critical Role: Yug'voril Uncovered.

Also, to Jack - Sting is not an Elven Fishfinder.

Critical Thinking 08: Glass and Bone Apr 22, 2017

Show notes

This week we discuss a divisive episode of Critical Role - and divisive narrative / character decisions. We also talk about how stories 'earn' or, in some cases, fail to earn their drama.

Critical Thinking 07: The Throne Room Apr 22, 2017

Show notes

We continue to try and prove we're dedicated to this life choice this week with Episode 7 of our Critical Role Rewatch podcast - Critical Thinking! This week, we're sans a Grog, and in possession of more silly plans.

Critical Thinking 06: Breaching the Emberhold Apr 22, 2017

Show notes

It's time for more Critical Thinking! My audio sounds a bit wonky because I'm testing out a new mic and it doesn't like Discord; I'll be back to a cleaner mic next week.
