Horrortoberfest ’22 Day 2 – Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981)
This year, I’ll be taking a look at some of the iconic horror movie franchises that I’ve only seen small bits of. Friday the 13th is one of the series […]
Horrortoberfest ’22 Day 1 – Barbarian (2022)
It’s a brand new year and a brand new start to Horrortoberfest. Starting off the festivities this October is a film currently still in theaters and with a pretty hefty […]
Movie Mastery – An Extremely Goofy Movie (2000)
A sequel of sorts to the excellent A Goofy Movie, this film sees Max going off to college. This is such a big life change that the characters all seem […]
Expounded Universe 225 – A Waywa With Words
Well, it may have been a bit, but dang it we aren’t continuing the intriguing tale of Lando in jail, Rokur Gepta in monologue, and Klyn Shanga and his motley […]
System Mastery 235 – Ray Winninger’s Underground
Hurray, one of those edgy 90s games where people have superpowers but aren’t superheroes! You know, like the other ones? This one at least has an interesting angle of entry […]
Movie Mastery – Barbarian Queen (1985)
Part of the larger “Roger Corman goes to Argentina” Cinematic Universe. Just be aware, this one has a lot of rape in it and is deeply uncomfortable to watch.
Expounded Universe 224 – Back to Back Sabacc
Finally some quality time with Rokur Gepta, who is rapidly shaping up into one of those villains who already knew you were going to do that, which might suck, but […]
Expounded Universe 223 – Twisted Steel, Leather Toilet
Next book! And whoa, this one starts out with the libertarian coming on strong. Man, how did I not notice this when I read these at 14?
System Mastery 234 – Apocalypse World
Wait, from Psi World to Apocalypse World? Two worlds? One network family? Oh right, I should probably mention that because we both have been down for a bit with the […]
System Mastery 233 – Psi World
Back to the old psionic grind! This game has almost exactly two whole paragraphs of story. Everything else we’ve had to glean from the margins and unusually informative rules. Wanna… […]
Movie Mastery – Bright (2017)
Netflix’s first attempt at making a blockbuster film is mostly fantasy racism and copaganda set in a world where they didn’t spend more than minute thinking about world building and […]
Expounded Universe 222 – Mindharp of Sharu Wrapup
The poll isn’t over yet, but it’s looking very likely that we’ll just stay right here in the Centrality with young Lando and his cool droid companion for at least […]
Expounded Universe 221 – Curse Your Sudden Yet Irrelevant Betrayal
Time to bring it home! We finally discover not only the titular Mindharp of Sharu, but also what it does! And we confront this book’s big villain… well sort of. […]
System Mastery 232 – Leaked 6th Edition Playtest
Hell yeah, we got some leaked documents up in here! Shame we gotta do it to them. But such is the rule of law here on the wild internet frontier. […]
Movie Mastery – Monkeybone (2001)
The movie that fools you twice. Once by making you assume there is going to be way too much Chris Kattan when he’s hardly in it and then fooling you […]
Expounded Universe 220 – Vuffi in Wonderlando
Is this episode big? Little? Both! We’re not sure exactly who’s doing the size changing around here, but everyone is brand new sizes (except Mohs, who instead has liberate’d tutemi […]
Expounded Universe 219 – The Taking Tree
We’re stepping up the pace to three chapters. Today we check in with Lando (tied to a tree, dying) and Vuffi Raa (full of arrows, dying), and then amazingly more […]
System Mastery 231 – Kevin & Kell RPG
A rare occasion where the “How the hell did this even happen” question seems fairly obvious (some company wanted a furry game in their line and this was close enough) […]
Movie Mastery – Cabin Boy (1994)
This movie has famously been mocked for being awful ever since it first came out and was nominated for two different bad movie awards. But, does it deserve the hate […]
