Today, on the Ace of Geeks podcast, Mike is out doing his acting thing and it's up to Jarys and Melissa to soldier on without him. After briefly living their dream of being an NPR host, Jarys puts on their professorial pants, and proceeds to lecture at Melissa about terrible D&D and Dragonheart movies, whether the First Order is a bunch of racists, and Dr. Tran. Melissa fires back with a discussion on the new movie Crimson Peak, and whether horror writers become desensitized to their own genre. Plus - teaching stories, and a special comic book birthday!
