#85. Shadows of Self (Mistborn) Mar 06, 2016

Show notes

It's a packed house, as Craig, Ryan, Kenn, Nic, and newcomer Geoff discuss Shadows of Self. The streak continues, as we have yet to read a Sanderson book we didn't enjoy. Mistborn fans who haven't read Sanderson's other work will be excited after this to dive deep into his Cosmere. Listener notes from two listeners, and Kenn says "duality of perspective," blowing Craig's mind with his excellent new vocabulary.Join the 2016 Brandon Sanderson Reading Challenge.

#83. The Wishsong of Shannara Jan 29, 2016

Show notes

Craig, Ryan, Rilee, and Andrew tackle The Wishsong of Shannara, in this wrap-up of their own trilogy of Shannara podcasts. Everyone seems to like Brin more than Amberle. Thank goodness Allanon died. Is Wishsong filmable?

#82. Jessica Jones - Damsel in Stress Jan 22, 2016

Show notes

Craig, Ryan, and newcomer Meg (from tvjelly.com) discuss Marvel's Netflix series, Jessica Jones. The consensus: it's an amazing, complicated, important show, that overcomes some problems with its main character, largely thanks to the other characters around her. Also, we make fun of The Bachelor and hot tubs a lot. So there's that, too.

#81. 2015 Year-end Review Jan 04, 2016

Show notes

The guys let their hair down for this one. Well, Craig does, since he's the only one with hair long enough to let down. They quiz each other on some of the big geek news items from 2015, and look forward to a couple events in 2016. Be sure to check out the 2016 reading challenge they've set up at WorldsWithoutEnd.com. Signing up is free and easy, and it makes for an easy way to interact with the guys during their Year of Sanderson.

#80. The Elfstones of Shannara Dec 31, 2015

Show notes

The group talks about the Elfstones of Shannara, both the book (mostly) and the upcoming MTV series (at 48:00). Topics include the possibly-ill-fitting title; Wil's crisis of confidence; strong women don't have to be warriors; and how Brooks fixes Tolkien's shortcomings when he sends in the eagles.

#79. The Force Awakens - Review Dec 21, 2015

Show notes

SPOILERS. Seen the new Star Wars yet? If not, do so before listening in. Things may have never been this heated on the podcast before. Yes, they all loved the movie and have plenty to say on that, but Craig and Ryan get into it over the definition and effect of bad CGI.

#78. The Sword of Shannara Nov 30, 2015

Show notes

Craig and Ryan welcome Rilee and Andrew to the podcast to discuss The Sword of Shannara. We're prepping for the MTV series early next year, and getting a jump on this classic trilogy from one of fantasy's most celebrated authors.

#77. In Absence of Fear, with author Celeste Chaney Nov 22, 2015

Show notes

Craig and Todd interview Celeste Chaney about her debut novel, In Absence of Fear. Wrist-embedded microchips, mass-surveillance, predictive policing ... It may be where we're headed, and this book helps us explore just how good are the good ideas we're coming up with to rid us of inconvenience and fear. Pick it up on Amazon, you won't be sorry.

#76. Star Wars Episode 7 Fan Theories Nov 12, 2015

Show notes

Jar Jar is a dark side force user... The Empire is good... Han and Leia had a litter of tribbles... We thought we’d take some time to hash out a few of the more popular fan theories, and some of the crazy ones too.
