Shakespearean Penguin Alignments

Wed, 10 Apr 2024 02:30:00 -0800

This episode is positively Shakespearean. Our discussion of the nature of the Fire Kingdom leads to a little bit of philosophical pondering around the D&D alignment system. How evil is Flame Princess? Should we be worried about Finn?

But no amount of evil can top the Reign of Gunters. No matter where you turn, danger awaits! Join us for a delightful adventure as we discuss these season 4 episodes:

Episode 22: "Ignition Point"
Episode 24: "Reign of Gunters"

Extra Soap Radio: It's alive!!!

Thu, 28 Mar 2024 02:30:00 -0800

There's already a podcast called "No Soap Radio," so we had to pick a different title for this marvelous episode, wherein Alexx and Erik cover two season four episodes of Adventure Time:

Episode 19: "Lady & Peebles"
Episode 20: "You Made Me"

In this episode, Erik predicts the next president using Tarot cards, we talk about Frankenstein a lot, and dive into some odd occult connections in surprising ways! And make sure you check out Alexx on Twitch, where he is playing lots of fun games.

Nonplussed by the Prepuce

Wed, 13 Mar 2024 02:30:00 -0800

This is an exciting episode, being the first we've recorded in the year 2024! The future is finally here, which Erik demonstrates with some sick riffs on his brand new sexy keytar!!!! Yes, you read that correctly.

In this episode, we cover these season 4 episodes:

Episode 8: Hug Wolf (very briefly)
Episode 9: Princess Monster Wife
Episode 10: Goliad

Also, a note for you, our favorite listener: Alexx discovered that Hulu has season 4's episodes in correct order, which can make it easier to follow along. For those watching on HBO Max, you'll have to do some searching around to listen to the correct episodes.
