Expounded Universe 306 – Mimban Number Five

You can’t get earlier Star Wars EU novels than this right here. Welcome to the “sequel in case the sequels didn’t happen” of Star Wars, where the force was still mysterious and Luke didn’t know who his sister was.

System Mastery 306 – The Expanse

More TV sci-fi! More TV sci-fi! Actually wait, hold on, this one is based on the books. No TV in here, which is probably for the best, because you guessed it, neither of us watched the show. Is this relatively modern relatively hard sci-fi space game fun? Well let’s find out.

A movie with an absolutely bananas concept that squanders it on mostly being about how boring, crappy dudes are good actually

System Mastery 305 – Time Lord

Who loves Doctor Who? Specifically and exclusively any Doctor Who made before 1991? Not us it turns out, though this game is pretty fun! It’s got some neat design ideas and good advice and writing, and also a lot of information about old Doctors.

A sci-fi movie that is incomprehensibly religious and religiously incomprehensible.

Expounded Universe 305 – Jedi Twilight Wrapup

Why, it’s the twilight of Jedi Twilight! And frankly? Good.

From a hotel room in Wisconsin, we drag James into our muck and watch a Tom Arnold film that is extremely Tom Arnold

Expounded Universe 304 – Don’t Call it a Comeback
