Dungeons and Dweebs Podcast

Episode 16 - Ender's Game Part 2

Zip up your flash suits and boot up your Galaxian tabletop war game as the boys help Ender finish off the buggers. With legs flashed and arms linked. The D and Dweebz crew heads downward toward the enemy’s gate to finish out their review of Ender’s Game. With everything from empathic pupae, to children over throwing the government with Facebook posts about conspiracies this episode will be sure to leave you as torn as our hosts!

Episode 15 - Ender's Game Part 1

As Whitney Houston once told us, “Children are our future.”  Yet, we’re thinking that she wasn’t implying that elementary school kids should be taken from their homes and enrolled in a no holds barred military academy in order to train to learn how to defeat invading armies of giant space ants!  In this episode, the Boys dive into the first part of the classic Orson Scott Card novel, Ender’s Game.  Jump on in and determine for yourself which way is “up” as Bob, Klab, Luke, and Paul discuss science fiction plot lines, Vietnam War analogies, strange dreams, child rearing techniques, and an entire colony of topics showing how far down the space bugger hole we can go.

Episode 14 - The Time Machine

The boys are back!  This time they are tackling the H.G. Wells classic The Time Machine.  Saddle up, grab a lever, and join Bob, Luke, Klab, and a surprise chrononaut 4th chair as they attempt to “convey the peculiar sensations of time traveling” and that “helpless headlong motion” that is Dungeons and Dweebs!


 

On this episode’s Tavern Talk.....

Luke continues his overwhelming disappointment with second seasons of Netflix series.

Klab has relapsed into his Sims addiction. 

Paul is back, fresh from religious cult activity in FarCry, but he can’t seem to erase the programming. Proving you can take the cultist out of the jungle, but you can’t erase the catchy praise and worship music.

Bob has joined Operah’s Book Club, and thinks A Wrinkle In Time could easily use some Botox. 

Episode 13 - Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

Let’s talk about Dick…

Phillip K. Dick that is. Dungeons and Dweebs takes off on their first solo book adventure to discus the importance of the book and and it’s relevance today.

This time on Tavern Talk:
Luke hogs most of Tavern Talk to discuss Marvel and Star Wars trailers, and Netflix’s ‘Altered Carbon’… for real this time. Klab’s takes us on some android fueled adventures. Ted “the new kid” brings up VR in the medical community and why the heck is it not good yet, and we take that everywhere from the Nintendo Power Glove to Fallout 4. Bob is still reading Jay Kristoff, has finished the second book and NEEDS the third one published now! We spin off to talk about our love for the ‘Now Playing’ podcast, and talk video game movies.

Episode 12 - Morning Star Part 2

We have reached the end of our second Trilogy review, my Howlers!  The sun never sets in space, but our squadron's time with Morning Star must inevitably come to its end.  Will Bob, Luke, Klab, and Neal end with the rage of Ares, the strength of Ragnar, the honor of Cassius, the love of Sevro, the loyalty of Victra, the dream of Eo, or will we simply devolve into decapitating our leader in order to appoint a successor?

This time on Tavern Talk:

Luke gets time bamboozeled by the Netflix series 'Altered Carbon' and discusses his deep feelings on Star Wars. Klab binges on 'Criminal Minds' while Bob accuses author Ernest Kline of being a 'One Trick Pony' in his second novel, 'Armada'. And the Round Table answers some feedback, as well as discussing the state of YA fiction. What is it? And should it even be a thing?
