We're taking a break from regular episodes over the month over December. But never fear because we are here with the very first episode of our 2 part Dungeons and Dragons special. We really hope you enjoy how bad we all are at this game.

We dive into millennial chaos, QR-code culture, and the bold internet heroes who think they could stare at Cthulhu without going insane. Plus, book talk, horror tangents, and a chaotic game where we guess classic opening lines horribly mangled by Google Translate.

This week, we prove once again that we are—indeed—not helpful.

Join Eloise, Brayton, and Julian as we spiral from Queensland hailstorms and zombie movies into a full-scale literary meltdown. What starts as a casual chat about Supanova and Jean-Claude Van Damme somehow becomes an unhinged debate about Lord of the Rings, Gone Girl, and why Hamlet should probably just get on with it already.

This week, we accidentally stumble into a surprisingly deep question: does historical accuracy actually matter if the story’s good?

From Braveheart’s creative liberties to Chernobyl’s condensed timelines, we explore how far films and books can stretch the truth before it stops being “based on a true story” and starts being full-on fan-fiction.

Hugh Grant in a horror movie? We ask if he’s just too charming to be scary. Plus: K-Pop Demon Hunters hype, why book lists make us rage, and the eternal crime of reheated coffee.

This week we dig into Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming Frankenstein and the review that had us wondering if the critic even read the book. We chat about why the creature was never really the monster, how Hollywood keeps twisting the story, and what a faithful adaptation might actually look like. Plus, a few rants about media literacy and why The Pitt is a fantastic show and maybe we should've talked about that instead.

At the Bendigo Writers Festival, a new code of conduct sparked debate about free speech, safe spaces, and censorship. We dig into the controversy, and still manage tangents on The Naked Gun reboot, George R.R. Martin’s Sesame Street characters, and why fandoms never stop arguing.

We tried to stay on topic… but failed spectacularly. Starting with James Gunn’s Superman and a disastrously bad War of the Worlds remake, we somehow end up deep-diving into Iceland’s saucy Dracula, the time Hans Christian Andersen became Dickens’ houseguest from hell, and the bizarre habits of famous authors.
