Show notes

Tyler is determined to sustain himself entirely on "Into the Spiderverse," and we're trying to fix out how to fix the toxic gaming community. Spoiler: it's really easy to do and we're surprised it hasn't happened yet.

Episode 216: My Kingdom for a Jamslammer: Gracieuse and Percinet part III Mar 19, 2019

Show notes

The finale of "Gracieuse and Percinet" is here, and boy howdy is it a ride. So many characters to disappoint us!

Content warning for emotionally abusive/manipulative relationships. Percinet is... bad.

Suggested talking points: Grogoui, that's a Treebeard, the Book of Kells for poops, irritable jam syndrome, multiverse leaderboard, 50 Shades of Psyche, apex princess species, jam piracy, borrower terrarium, bounce o'clock, going to Space Jam, trained in fairy lore

Ramblecast 216 Mar 17, 2019

Show notes

What genre isn't Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? We've already talked about how it's steampunk, and now it's cyberpunk too!

Episode 215: Cyber-Grognon: Gracieuse and Percinet part II Mar 12, 2019

Show notes

We're very taken with Grognon, and very much NOT taken with Percinet, for reasons that will become very clear soon. Grognon continues to be an interesting villain, and Percinet continues to be JUST THE WORST.

Suggested talking points: Buscemi's fatherly wet gaze, the Imaginarium of Dr. Percocet, horse socialism, Jack Bauer as Psyche, Grace the Unflayable, the first macguffin, 1719 summer Grognon hotness games, Grognonaroo, Grogmommy's alrights

Ramblecast 215 Mar 10, 2019

Show notes

There's never been a Pokemon game that takes place in REAL America, so we're pitching Gen 9: Pokemon Stars & Pokemon Stripes.

Note: we're touching on some serious issues here, and just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge that although we are making jokes, this is all satire and we take these issues with gravity they deserve.

Episode 214: Caught Between a Jam and a War Place: Gracieuse and Percinet part I Mar 05, 2019

Show notes

It's that time of year again, everyone. The d'Aulnoy train has been speeding toward us for a year, and it has finally arrived. We're reading "Gracieuse and Percinet" this year, which involves a surprising number of twists and turns for a chunk of story in which nothing really happens.

Suggested talking points: Waffle House Valentine's Day, public podcasting, jam consumption, royal anatomy, Grognon.0, camel drinking mechanisms, John Woo bird metrics, Scooby Doo hot take, Harry Potter spell slots

Ramblecast 214 Mar 03, 2019

Show notes

What is the first space force even going to do up there without anyone to play with or fight? We're also continuing what is apparently a whole series about art, and our relationship to it.

Episode 213: Stepmom EULA Feb 26, 2019

Show notes

A content warning: this story kinda involves sex trafficking. We have agreed that we have to talk about the daughter in question as an adult, and the trafficker is a magic bear prince, but it's still a little uncomfortable at moments.

We're finally reading "East of the Sun West of the Moon." For a foundational fairy tale, it's got a lot of problems. This story makes a lot more sense when you think of it as a reality show run by a troll in the background. Just trust us, you'll see it by the end.

This episode brought to you by executive producer Ashton, Aarne-Thompson type 1558, "Clothes Make the Man"

Suggested talking points: Team Rocket acting class, Larry David clicks, barky jorts, child hyper beam, momtech, daybear, crag hags, curse regulations, knuckle nose

Ramblecast 213 Feb 24, 2019

Show notes

The best animated feature Oscar is a rough scene, but you know what was great? The original Steel Battalion.

Episode 212: James and the Giant Metal Gear Feb 20, 2019

Show notes

"Momotaro the Peach Boy" is truly Japan's Number One Momotaro, in that he's absolutely unstoppable. We might need to slow this sweet peach boy's roll a bit.

This episode brought to you by executive producer Dave, Aarne-Thompson type 1540, "the Man From Paradise"

Suggested talking points: objective comedy, fruit-based gentlemen, Cherry Man Catan, the butt families, Oni ecological breakdown, Papa Folklore, the Galapagos demons, science fience
