Finally! The day HDM die-hards have been waiting for since the 2015 announcement. Episode one has come and gone and it was brilliantly fantastic and executed flawlessly! Travis and Richard break down their favorite moments of the debut episode. They also respond to some unwarranted whining and complaining from a small minority of viewers. More gushing from the hosts. Every performer knocked it out of the park, but Ruth Wilson gets the MVP of this episode. This cast is highly diverse and representation is at the forefront without pandering or feeling forced or focus-grouped. All the thumbs up for episode one of His Dark Materials.

This Week's Guest - @MadQueen88

This week we discuss what game is responsible for me not playing horror games, State of Decay 2, Resident Evil 2, and lost PS2 horror gem Siren.

This week, we talk about the latest sequel in the series, and how it does a great job of picking up where the previous story left off. While it retains the setting, it focuses way more on character motivations, The difference between a 12 year old and 13 year old's view of the world (hint: girls) and delves even further into the ancient magic that is Egyptian royalty and it's obsession with the afterlife.

Trav and Rich are back for episode three, but they are not alone this time. Cassy Explosion joins the pair to create an HDM triumvirate! On this mailbag edition, the trio answer email and voicemails about which scene(s) or interaction can't be screwed up even a little. Comparisons between the books, movie and upcoming TV series. Is Ruth Wilson's portrayal of Mrs. Coulter as a "cesspool of moral filth" going to sit well with western audiences? Rich and Trav give very brief thoughts on the current book, The Secret Commonwealth.

This week's book returns to the "fish out of water" trope R.L. Stine is known for, as two kids on a family vacation have to make life altering decisions to survive! A great brother/sister dynamic, vivid environmental description, and genuine terror round out this story, along with some pretty cool ties to history, and understandable motivations. And homemade ice cream. lots of homemade ice cream.
