"If what she says is true, this child has the potential to end all war. Forever. Unless she falls into the wrong hands. And if that happens, the consequences will be ours to own."

Welcome one and all, today we are picking right back up where we left off and taking an in-depth look at Episode 6 of Season 2 from The Witcher series!

Follow along as we watch Geralt fight a Chernobog, Rience pays Kaer Morhen a visit and takes something of great value, we get a special reunion at the Temple of Melitele, Istredd finds crucial answers in an unlikely place, an elf baby is born for the first time in many generations, there's an attack in the Temple, and Yennefer makes a difficult choice.

Keep up as Chase & Josh run through a summarized recap of the episode, talk about takeaways and initial thoughts, give insight into the monster that appears, and close out with interesting topics of debate.

"And when the humans proved hostile, bringing death and destruction, multiplying and infesting their lands, the elves built a weapon... to destroy them. Paerhabyn means weapon. But this is praethyn which is more like draethyn... It's a mistranslation. The elves didn't build a weapon. They built a warrior."

We are jumping in to the second half of Season 2 of The Witcher today as we analyze Episode 5 and its significance!

Join in as we are introduced to a mysterious fire mage, Geralt & Istredd come to shocking conclusions regarding monoliths and the Conjunction, Cirilla makes a choice with her blood, Jaskier narrowly escapes some burning questions, and Triss realizes some uncomfortable revelations on her trip into Ciri's mind.

"Child of Elder Blood, child of wrath, the time of contempt is nigh. The world will die amidst frost and be reborn of the new sun. Reborn of Elder Blood, of the seed that has been sown. A seed that will not sprout, but will burst into flame."

We are excited to have you join us here today as we get to the pivotal halfway point in Season 2 of The Witcher where today we will be analyzing Episode 4!

"These are new buds."

"Exactly. Destiny has given us a gift. The key to making more Witchers."

"In cemeteries."

The Riddikulus Crew is happy to have you back here with us as we pick up where we left off last week and jump back into the events of The Witcher, where today we will cover Season 2 Episode 2.

Additionally, we follow along with Yennefer and Fringilla who we find out were taken captive by certain group of people, take a look into their troubled dreams, and are introduced to a manipulative magic.

Stay tuned as Chase & Josh cover a recap summary of the episode, provide interesting facts regarding the monsters found in the episode, give their overall takeaways and debate some important topics!

"Nowhere is safe now.  You can't run from the world.  You can't hide from it.  But you can find power and purpose.  A chance to survive the horror."

Welcome once again everyone, the Riddikulus Crew is here and today we are jumping back into a streaming service series that we touched on for their first season last year and circling back now that their second season is finally out, so get excited for our coverage on The Witcher Season 2!

Things will be a bit different this time around as we will be covering each episode, one at a time, as opposed to reviewing multiple episodes at once.  The level of detail and significant moments called for an adjustment and we have also added a fun new aspect as well by describing the attributes and traits of the monsters shown each episode to take these reviews to the next level.

So follow along with us and our Witcher as we get a resolution to the Battle of Sodden, learn the fate of Yennefer, meet a familiar face in a castle overlooking an unfortunate village, and some intense action! With Geralt now firmly in charge of Cirilla's protection and safety as they have found one another to fulfill their destiny, you don't want to miss out.

(As mentioned in the introduction of this episode, we lost an important member of our show, the best dog ever in Nala to Hemangiosarcoma last week and if anyone feels called to help with the medical bills, the GoFundMe link is listed below, God bless you all.)

Happy New Year to all of our wonderful listeners out there! We hope you finished 2021 strong and have begun 2022 on a high note, and speaking of which, us here at Fact or Fantasy wanted to kick 2022 off on a high note too with a fan-favorite episode style!

Today we will be ranking every live action Spider-Man film in a hierarchy-type order which will include the Toby Maguire trilogy, the Andrew Garfield films, as well as the Tom Holland adaptations.  A total of 8 films, we will put them in order from our least favorite to our absolute favorite and give our reasoning behind each placement.

Don't miss out, compare your own rankings list to both Chase's list and Josh's list!  Let us know who you agreed with more and why we either of us got certain rankings right or wrong in your opinion. With how much hype Spider-Man is currently receiving, this was the best and most fun way to start off the New Year here on the show, we hope you enjoy!

It is time. We are at the tail end of the holiday season and the year is coming to a close, so naturally Chase & Josh wanted to end it in style with the final episode of Fact Or Fantasy in 2021 covering the biggest movie of the year, Spider-Man: No Way Home!

**SPOILER ALERT** Do not listen to this episode if you have not yet seen the movie and want to because in this installment, we go through a detailed recap and summary of the events in the film from beginning to end.  You have been warned.

Join us as we follow along with our favorite web-slinger where the film picks up immediately following the ending of Spider-Man: Far From Home.  We see a media frenzy, the consequences of being a polarizing figure, a Strange bit of magic, and quite an electrifying ensemble of blasts from the past!

With the Riddikulus Crew providing a detailed recap, giving our overall opinions of what we saw on screen both positive and negative, debating some of the hot topics, and offering our views and what comes next and where certain characters go from here, this is the year-ending episode you don't want to miss.

"With great power comes great responsibility."
