Drokk! Episode Four May 26, 2019

Show notes

In episode four, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester make their way through the corresponding volume of Judge Dredd Case The Complegte Case Files, comprising Progs 156 through 207 in the adventures of the U.K. icon. This volume is one half mega-prog--the classic Judge Child story by John Wagner, Ron Smith, Mike McMahon, and Brian Bolland--and one half shorter mini-epics with the aid of co-writer Alan Wagner and Ian Gibson. Is this volume a treatise on determinism and free will, a rehash of old story hooks, or a desperate race to create garishly enjoyable weekly thrills? Maybe we dont need to choose? Join us for more than two full hours as we dig into the most classic year of Dredd yet!

Wait, What?, The Amuse Bouche May 19, 2019

Show notes

Graeme does not talk enough, and Jeff talks too much in this mini commentary track style episode, where they each talk separately about their time together and apart in Portland.
