GrimdarkEnlightenment

A couple days late, but Inquisitor DeAnna and Commissar Chud Hammer are back and here to cover:

The Warrior Lodges, their role in the Heresy, their role in life, the fraternal nature of man, and the power of ritual

Man as the natural romantics, while foids are the ultimate pragmatists

The corrupting nature of tolerance

Mild to severe Japan and WW2 posting

In this episode, we approach the idea of myth, discussing

-what is a creation myth/its role in a civilization

-positive vs negative mythos

-making the implicit lore explicit in 40K

-is our fantasy creation myth better than reality (yes).

-single mom caused the Heresy

-Do your curls and I might give you stuff

-Coping over plastic FemStodes

-federal grants for bullying (early and often!)

-Star Trek (never watched) goes from space liberalism to gay race communism

-HEMA vs. medieval lesbians

- the Primarchs' Return Monkey's Paw

We join Paul Waggener of Operation Werewolf (plus a million other projects) fame/infamy on his show Call Sign: WEREWOLF for an impromptu show, after lifting a stupendous amount of weights and waging war on the nearby IHOP. In this long for him/short for us crossover show, we discus topics ranging from:

-The spirit of 40k

-The reality of a politicized world on our hobbies and subcultures

-Why the things we like are cool, why the things we don’t like are bad

-Power, power fantasy, and power realities.

-More brainiac s**t since we weren’t drinking

You can find Paul’s great short form podcasts here, along with much of his other work

We attempt to boomer our way through streaming the announcement show. it goes as expected.

-The Monkey’s Paw situation that is official 40K media

-Is Cavill cool despite being a thespian?

-how and why must the galaxy be under human dominion instead of the Astartes

-Pro-humanist, wholesome, hope and hero posting
