YEAR TWO BEGINS!
What do you get when you mix Director Ridley Scott, some very attractive people, nasty goblins, unicorns, and a band of elves and faeries?
An Epic Trapper-Keeper Fantasy adventure so hot it burned down the studio they shot it in.
Also, Robert Picardo's performance as our feature monster SWAMP WITCH/HAG "Meg Mucklebones" is truly nightmarish.
Be good for goodness sake!

On this special pre-SANDMAN show release episode, I am joined by fun and informative guest HEIDI LANGE of Sandmanbooks.com (link below) to wrap our collective heads around psychopomps!
Pyschopomps are an oddly specific yet universal category: Neutral Ferryworkers that guarantee your safe passage from your mortal life to the great beyond. Cultures across the globe and spanning millennia have their own agents of travel from Gaul to Greece, the Etruscans to Egypt, and from the Valkyries to the modern day Grim Reaper.
We cover the broad category of psychopomps through some obscure examples, as well as hit on what makes the heart of the character of DEATH, as depicted in Neil Gaiman's Sandman series, and the books and graphic novels that spawned the character and their mythology.

Friend of the show Claire comes on to wrangle these two white Dungeon Masters around the topic of the bizarre, vampiric, torso-dividing, bat-winged, organ-sucking monstrosity, the Killa from Manilla, the lady that puts the Ass in Aswang, the Manananggal.

In 1988 colossal nerdlingers Ron Howard and George Lucas smashed their massive domes into each other like two rutting ram studs, until spilled forth one of the 80s most successful high fantasy epics.
Gavin details the Brownies, portrayed by Kevin Pollack and Rick Overton to extreme comic effect, as well as the two-headed Eborsisk, a fire-breathing faux-hydra of nightmarish aspect. He also details how the Eborsisk and other Willow miniatures damaged his young psyche AND testicles in a traumatic schoolyard tragedy-slash-layway-mishap. Let's see Joe Rogan try to do THAT!

Oil your harmonica and $hit-kick your boots, the Graboids are coming to Perfection, Nevada! This classic 1980's script literally dirty-talked its way into the 90s, and made Kevin Bacon reel with horror at what he saw as the nadir of his acting career, only to turn out one of the most efficiently written and enduring examples of American Comedy-Horror ever put to screen. Get your pants off, and pole vaunt to the next residual boulder, these godd@mn recrooms aren't going to break into themselves!
RIP Fred Ward

After they came to get you, Barbara, they stalked Ken Foree and his giant head around the Monroeville mall, then they dragged Rhodes' guts out of his miserable rotten body in the underground bunker, and now they have the nerve to get clever and chase after the one and only Dennis Hopper you've hidden in the highest possible tower in Steeltown, The City on Three Rivers, the place with kind of a lot of bridges, the home of french-fries-on-your-salad, Pittsburgh-Pennsyl-f*#king-vania.

In 2018 Innersloth games unleashed an innocuous-looking cooperative Hidden Role game that took the combative elements of the party games Werewolf & Mafia and wrapped them up in cute little spacemen being infiltrated by mysterious alien "Impostors".
Thanks to a hurricane combination of good design, cross-platform social play on mobile, kids being trapped at home, and an essential understanding of classic horror film paranoia, AMONG US exploded in international popularity, leading a revolution of "sus" language overtaking the elementary and middle schools of America and beyond.

This Chocolate bar is KRONCHY, folks! Hess & Gavin delve into the dank depths of fiction forward role-playing game DUNGEON WORLD and investigate some of the essential aspects of monster-gaming. If you're SUPER not into the dork-fests and game discussions, this may not be the episode for you, as we go light on the monsters, heavy on the Nat20s.
But you're all Nat 20s to us, Dear Readers.
