November 28, 2014#009 – (Imagine) Dragons
It’s Dragon Week! Jules has so much to say about Dragon Age, and Lisa’s got a shout-out for her seventh grade English teacher. But that’s not all: there’s plenty more discussion about dragons, big lizards, dinosaurs, what makes for an unsatisfying gaming experience, nostalgia for crappy games and jobs of the past, and an open invitation for Gerard Butler to join us anytime. Seriously. Anytime. So many questions about his choices. SO MANY.

November 26, 2014 Bossy Shorts – Rogues
Who’s Jules fighting this week? EVERYONE. Everyone who thinks the rogue class is worthless, that is. (Yes, that’s Assassin’s Creed in the pic. We know. It’s okay. Shhhhh.)

November 19, 2014Bossy Shorts – Beyond the Lights
Who wants to hear about a new romance on the big screen? If you said yes, you’re in luck! Lisa saw Beyond the Lights and she can’t stop talking about it. And if you don’t, Jules wants you to get on board with Danny Glover’s Toussaint L’Ouverture biopic. You have millions of dollars to invest in its production, yes? YES?

November 14, 2014#007 – Interstellar
SPOILERS! Lisa and Jules are here for Interstellar, except when they aren’t. Which is a lot. It’s all just a lot, the Nolan-and-McConaughey-ness of it all. (Who else is ready for the end of the dystopia trend, btw?) But keep listening, because Lisa and Jules are always here for space, and they’ve got recommendations. Plus, bonus feelings about the Exodus trailer.
(Apologies for the sound quality. We’re working on it!)
