A Friendly Orbit episodes
- Existentialism Pt. 1 - I Am, Therefore I Am
Do you ever look up at the stars and think: 'What does this all mean?' Well, turns out the answer is probably nothing, and a lot of smart people are here to tell us about all that. Today, Theia leads Ceres through the beginnings of existentialism, poorly paraphrasing Leopardi, Kierkegaard, and spelling bee final boss Nietzsche.

1 hr 32 min - The F in Monopoly is for Fun!
Monopoly is a notoriously frustrating game, but hey, it was invented before the chocolate chip cookie, and we’ve learned a lot about game design since then. I say ‘we’ but Ceres & Theia don’t actually have any formal game design knowledge. Anyway we’re going to try and fix Monopoly.

1 hr 17 min - Jeremy Irons, Save Us!
But what about Honor Amongst Thieves? Why can't we watch that one instead? 'Is this a movie?' continues, as this week we ask: "Is a role-playing game without a canon story, beloved characters or even a shared setting be a movie?". In the year 2000, the answer is put me out of my misery, because today we discuss the 2000 movie "Dungeons and Dragons".

1 hr 19 min - That Time Godzilla was a Tumor
