#302. Shadows of the Empire & the Star Wars Expanded Universe Dec 15, 2020

Show notes

Craig and Ryan welcome Drew and Lauren McCaffrey, who have come to discuss Shadows of the Empire, the Star Wars movie that never was. There's a lot to discuss, between the book and its accompanying video game and the rest of the marketing push to make Shadows a huge thing back in 1996. There's enough ground to cover, in fact, that we made this episode a two-parter, and you can hear the other part on Drew's podcast, Inking Out Loud. Head over there to hear the companion episode, and to get the other half of the hashtag you'll need to enter the giveaway drawing. (More details below.)

Listen to the Inking Out Loud episode here.

#301. Battle Ground, pt.2 (Dresden Files #17) Dec 11, 2020

Show notes

The Blue Team is back for their last bit of Dresden discussion for a while. Todd, Megan, and Kenn cut the last Dresden episode off a bit abruptly because they wanted to give [redacted]'s death in this book more than a cursory five-minute treatment. So that's what this episode is all about. Enjoy!

#299. Rhythm of War Review (Spoiler-free) Nov 12, 2020

Show notes

Craig and Ryan got their hands on an advance copy of Brandon Sanderson's latest Stormlight Archive entry: Rhythm of War. They sit down and discuss their general feelings on how the book went, how it fits with the rest of the series, and what the reactions of fans might be once the book is released on November 17th. There are no spoilers for Rhythm of War, but this discussion does assume that you've read the rest of the Stormlight Archive. Be ye warned.

Stephanie and Megan weren't there for our Wheel of Time podcast series, but that didn't stop them from reading the entire run of books in 2020. And they've got some thoughts to share ... even if they can't remember half the characters' names.

Show notes

Todd, Kenn, and Megan reconvene to further discuss Skin Game, the fifteenth(!) book in Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series. And most burning question? How could Harry have known about the "parkour" joke from The Office? IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. Nothing but the hard-hitting questions here, folks.
