We know we say this practically every episode, but coherency is at an all-time low. I’m not even sure if Matthew was fully awake the whole time. Anyway, we discuss the movie Arrival, and its satisfying and specific take on a classic sci-fi story.

Oh boy, shit is getting scary, and depressing, and we don’t like it at all. Fortunately, we can still discuss comics, movies, podcasts, and other stuff that makes us happy.

We break format in this episode, and instead of a Main Discourse, we have a really honest conversation about gender identity. We also answer our first question from a fan, related to character creation and back story.

Things get super spooky this week, as Keith, Matthew, and Mika talk about Halloween. But first, we discuss character creation in DnD, and discuss some of our favorite former and current characters.

This week, Keith, Matthew, and Mika talk about losing players and making friends in the Dungeonmaster’s Basement, then we discuss reality TV. From the bizarre, to the trashy, to the actually kind of good.

Matthew’s sister comes on the show this week to talk about imaginary characters in imaginary relationships. It actually gets pretty real for a while, as we talk about queer representation and expression in the media landscape. But also, we do spend a lot of time goofing around and talking about anime boys.

In this episode, we discuss the movie Turbo Kid, in our segment, Critical Condition. Then, we try to talk about strange and surreal entertainment, but we we only get a few minutes into talking about Spy Kids before facing a major existential crisis, and going far off the rails. Like in a good way though.

I don’t know what happened this week. We started off talking about the early-level experience curve in D&D, and our cultural ‘comfort foods’ that we can always turn to to feel good, then things devolve. Quickly. Stick around though, for when Matthew sings a song for no reason that he learned in 2007.

Our release schedule over the past few weeks has been kind of sketchy, and that’s due in part to some problems we’ve been having with transferring files. Consequently, we’ve been recording episodes faster than we’ve been able to release them, so now that the issue is resolved, we’re going to release the next three episodes in as many days.

On this episode, we workshop some ideas for a potential BSG spinoff podcast, and discuss world building across various series.

Hey, you know that new Batman animated movie? It’s really bad and problematic! But before we get to that, we discuss linear storylines and railroading in the Dungeonmaster’s Basement.
