The Pitch

We didn't know about the updated Rocko reboot movie when we recorded this, which is eerie.

Welcome to the Monstrous Manual's original sin.

Gary Butterfield, Kole Ross, and John Hurst take one final look at Dark Souls.

Please stick around for the next episode, which will be the proper conclusion to Bonfireside Chat as a whole.

This week Gary and Jeremy wrap up Season 03 in style. First up is Nightcrawler, which you may think is just about Nightcrawler, but is actually about the X-Men's Wacky Winter Wonderland Wacation. It's BONKERS. Then it's on to Weapon X, Lies, and Video Tapes, the episode name we were shocked to find is 100% accurate. Next episode we'll be covering X-Men 3: United We Something or Other, so be sure to watch that masterpiece before it comes out. After that, we'll be answering YOUR QUESTIONS, so get that feedback in. Ok, we've bossed you around enough for today. Thanks for listening, prongs!

All good things must come to an end, and seep out into a culvert or sluice.

Ooze week continues, as slime time resumes.

This train doesn't stop. Autumn and Paddy join the show to discuss the thrilling, anxiety-inducing conclusion to the Waste Lands. With Lud rapidly decaying behind them and nothing but cracked land and horrible monsters below, our Ka-Tet are left to deal with an insane AI embodied in the train they're riding. Their guns will be useless, and they will quite literally have to rely on their wits.

Incredibly cute. Incredibly not for us.
