This week Robbie goes to Chicago to seek fame, fortune, and pizza.  

And he took his wife instead of Art and Jay.  So they did an episode without him, and invited a special guest to take his place: Zac Ashmore.  Zac brings us into the world of Rowan Drake, Wolf Slayer, the low fantasy novella he is in the process of writing.  

They talk book research, the writing process, the difference between low and high fantasy, and explain (without too much spoiler) the difference between a dire wolf and a gavir.  (Hint: in Rowan’s world, a gavir is not an antiviral drug.) Meanwhile, back on Planet Hollywood, a new Spider-Verse movie casting is announced, and it has shades of grey.  

And a famous director announces that he’d like to see a little more “relating” in the superhero multiverse.  The Guys aren’t so sure.  This Robbie-less episode is still, somehow, fascinating.
