Doomsday Doopy Doo

Nick and Chris ponder the Rise of Skywalker and the history of Star Wars and its place in our history but the real gem is when Chris reads from the dictionary.

In our latest Gamma World roleplaying session the gang licks their wounds after a harrowing escape. Meecho confronts a merchant named Derwin.

In our latest installment of our Gamma World roleplaying session, Meecho and his friends attempt to fend off a fire breathing tank while surrounded by fuel. 

Happy Holidays Doopers!! Have a special show on us!

What makes us love Star Wars? How did the original movie achieve what it did? What basic human feelings did Lucas tap into?

Nick and Chris take Star Wars: A New Hope through Joseph Campbell's Monomyth, and Christopher Vogler's Hero's Journey shedding some light on the power of storytelling and the possibility of our collective consciousness being the source of our strong emotional attachment to these great stories which may merely be reflecting back to us the fact that we are all connected. This consciousness may even flow through us, surround us, and bind us together...

The original Star Wars Trilogy is broken down and covered with deep insights, fan theories and even cold hard statistics.  It's been bottled up and it comes spewing out right here and now.

On a side note, reading that title -- 'The Actual Star Wars Show' makes me feel like I am making the claim that this is a show that is somehow sanctioned by Disney, like some Star Wars show that no one knew about had snuck on to the interwebs on the weekend of The Rise of Skywalker and released an actual Star Wars show in podcast form. I am not making that claim at all. But now thinking about it in that way, it makes me like the title more, but feeling that makes me feel like we're being cheap; like it is complete click-bait and I have become the very enemy that we set out to fight. If it comes off that way --that the title is just click bait -- that is not at all how it was intended. This is Nick and Chris doing a show about Star Wars, and just referencing something a listener would understand which makes the title now sound pretentious and full of itself as if I'm some gatekeeper of entertainment and only the cool kids are allowed and that super cool joke just flew over your noob head.  I really should, at this point, just change the damn title. God I hate writing on the internet.

The gang is back with another installment of our real play Gamma World roleplaying session. A careful stalk of the heartless cybernetic crew responsible for wiping Meecho's homeland from existence leads to a crescendo when the crew briefly loses sight of the young Bundeez.

Drinking beer on porches and being chased by drones....

We're not sure what to say about this one. There's a nice Watchmen talk.

Meecho and Glume do what they do best, shoot like Stormtroopers. Nick and Chris roleplay another session of Gamma World and it was actually recorded this time.

Chris plays a dangerous game...

Also, Nick gets ghosted, walks through a Hasidic neighborhood with a bow, and then rips Ben Affleck. Of course, there's talk of movies, tv shows and music.

Nick and Chris are back with an explanation and a mea culpa, and a summary of the current role playing adventure.
