This week is a bit of a shorter podcast, but Mike and Mae Linh have been on a Lin Manuel Miranda fest lately, so we'll discuss Hamilton and the new Disney film Moana! Plus, a look at how overdesigned modern movies are, and how we feel about the live action Beauty and the Beast remake!

Mike and Jarys give in, after months of listening to it, and just dedicate most of an episode to the podcast Campaign, in the most professional podcast they've ever done.

Mike, Jarys and Melissa sit down to deal with a difficult week by doing what we do best - breaking down pop culture. We have a great discussion on collaborative gaming in tabletop, Mike has started watching Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. again, and Sombra is out on the PTR so Mike and Jarys talk about Overwatch! It's a great episode to take your mind off the times.

Search deep within your mind, let go of your earthly tether, and join us for the Ace of Geeks Podcast's review of Doctor Strange! Mike, Jarys and Mae Linh just left a showing and headed straight to the microphone for your listening pleasure. Is the movie good enough to get past its whitewashing aspects? How is the magic depicted? Does Cumberbatch live up to the character? All of this and more in a show that also, briefly, discusses Titanfall 2. Enjoy!

Mike and Jarys had a super tight schedule this week, so for the third time in podcast history, we're recording in a car that's in motion! On a highway! In the rain! The audio is terrible, is what I'm saying. But it's a good conversation about Luke Cage, so check it out!

Today, Jarys is out sick, but Mike welcomes Biana J. Anderson, writer and diversity advocate! We're going to spend an hour diving deep into the convention world, the lack of diversity there, how it can be fixed, and what conventions are doing it right. (Hint: it's a short list.) Bianca is one of our favorite guests we've ever had, and this is an important episode to listen to, so please give it a listen, folks.

This week, we come to you live from the Magical Land of Foon, as Mike and Jarys welcome Adal Rifai, Chicago improv comedian and the voice of Chunt on Hello from the Magic Tavern! We'll talk about his origins in comedy and what the improv scene is like in Chicago, how Magic Tavern came about, what their process is like, and what it's like to suddenly be kind of famous. All that fun starts at 29:47, but before that, Mike and Jarys have a great discussion about tabletop gaming and Discworld that you won't want to miss.

Mike and Jarys talk Magic this week â?? not The Gathering, or a basketball player, but real, honest to god magic. How does it work? Why does it work? (Does it even work?) This segways into a discussion on science, politics, race and Luke Cage. Itâ??s a fascinating discussion, donâ??t miss it.

Jarys and Mike sit down for a short discussion about the hype for this season of Rebels - and it turns into a fascinating, hour long discussion of Star Wars, the Dark Side, Emperor Palpatine, Grand Admiral Thrawn, Grey Jedi and so much more. One of our favorite episodes we've ever recorded, don't miss this.

Stephanie and Sam have just gotten back from all the fun in the sun at Hawaiicon! They'll break down the convention for you - what worked, what didn't, they're favorite guests and panels, and why you should head down to the islands for next year's convention!
