This episode was recorded live at Omegacon Fall 2017 with our friend and gaming geek Brianne Bilyeu! We talk over some of the new games we played over the weekend (there weren’t as many as we’d hoped there would be). We all came away big fans of Nmbr9 so that’s probably one you should check out! Brianne, having just answered our five questions, proceeds to ask five questions of us!

This week, we are joined by returning guest Brianne Bilyeu. We are all at OmegaCon and friend of the show Ellie Younger has gifted us the collectible card game Redemption!  The basic idea is to use your army of god to rescue lost souls while also using your forces of evil to stop your opponent from doing the same thing. We play test it for your enjoyment but not really for ours. What is it about Christian game designers and their inability to make games worth playing?

Below the fold, you will find several pictures of the strangely erotic cards.

This week, we take a look at the most recent installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe!  Thor: Ragnarok may not propel the overall storyline of the Marvel films forward but, for the most part, all three of us had a lot of fun with it.  We have a good conversation about what we liked and didn’t like about the movie and we also spoil the shit out of it so you should stay away if that’s something you don’t like.  Otherwise, listen and enjoy!

Content warning: We are talking about sexual assault and sexual harassment in this episode.  With the allegations against Harvey Weinstein, Harry Knowles and others, we take a look at the culture of harassment specifically directed at women. For those who think that this is being blown out of proportion, you’re wrong. Also, you probably shouldn’t listen if you’d like your careful preserved misconceptions to remain unchanged.  This episode isn’t quite as joke filled as some others.

Also note – here is a link to the #ThatsHarassment videos we talked about.

This week, we take a look at Blade Runner 2049, a sequel to Blade Runner. The film hasn’t killed it at the box office but for fans of the original, it is a very solid follow up.  We should warn everyone right up front that we are going to spoil the shit out of the movie. Like we talk about the ending.  So if you want to watch the movie spoiler free, this ain’t the podcast for you. Everyone else, stick around!

This year, our podcast actually comes out on Halloween! In honor of the greatest of all holidays, we spend the podcast talking about all the stuff that scares us. This proves to be something of a challenge for Nick because he’s not really scared of anything. Except he is and we managed to squeeze it out of him.  Tim and Molly are more worried about sharing their fears because someone might use the knowledge for dark and evil purposes. So don’t do that, OK? It would be a dick move.

It has been quite some time since we have been joined by Joshua Humphrey on our podcast. In that time, he has attended and graduated law school. So we sat him down to talk about law school in these interesting times. He hasn’t passed the bar yet so we can’t call him our resident lawyer. But when he does pass the bar, we are definitely going to start doing so.  Joshua also gets to answer our newest set of five questions!

It’s been over two months since we’ve had any geeky boners! Not surprisingly, this timetable corresponds to the two months we’ve all been working at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival and we haven’t been reading/watching as many things.  Tim has been so immersed in the Festival, it’s actually his boner (he talks about singing this song).  Molly has been immersed in all things Stephen King (which is not much of a surprise).  Nick has been enjoying a hard science trilogy, which is not a dick joke.

We have one more episode recorded in the trailer studio on a hot September day!  Speaking of hot, we get together with our friend Nathan Gerber to talk about his experiences dating Christians. He’s dated outside his lack of faith a lot and has some good tips on how to have a relationship with someone who believes something you really don’t.

This week, we return to the luxurious trailer studios to revisit Christian privilege with frequent guest Tony Miller.  We take a look at the current state of politics in our country as it pertains to Christian power as well as taking a look at how online interactions tend to favor those with religion.  We also come up with a great name if Molly ever becomes the lead singer of a death metal band. Tony also gets a crack at our newest set of five questions!
