Episode 32 – There’s Nothing We Can Do About It!

Episode 31 – Don’t Put All Your Dragon Eggs In One Basket!

By now you probably already know who won the throne games!

In this our 31st episode, Kendall Duke returns to talk with me about our feelings on the Game of Thrones series finale! We also attempt to answer a number of difficult questions about our future with the franchise and about ourselves as people!

Does that sound appropriately epic?

Other topics discussed include expectations and disappointments, the exciting appeal of boring video games, Detective Pikachu and The Pokemon Life Swap™, mysterious toys from the distant past, and, of course, Disney’s John Carter.

SHOW NOTES!

I talk about this thing for a few minutes for some reason.

Episode 30 – Throne Games!

WHO WILL WIN THE THRONE GAMES???

In this our 30th episode, Kendall and I are here to talk all about HBO’s Game of Thrones and its incredibly polarizing final season!

And just in time for the series finale! ?

There are a lot of spoilers, a discussion of strategies for dealing with personal awkwardness, and some very brief Road House talk.

Here is the trailer for Road House.

Let us know what you think in the comments!
