  • TTP #208 - Ted's Bogus Journey

    This week Patsy and Ashes are discussing Tim Roth's Ted the Bellhop from the criminally underseen 1995 anthology film Four Rooms.

  • TTP #206 - Black Lives Matter

    This week Patsy and Ashes forgo their normal routine and talk about the heinous crimes being perpetrated against black folks all across the country, and the abysmal reaction to them. They discuss their thoughts and feelings on the matter before getting into their discussion on this week's character, V the eponymous hero from the 2005 film V for Vendetta. They talk about how closely the situation in the film mirrors what has been going on in our own country, and what we can do to help make things better. It's not your typical episode, but there's still a lot of good information and quality conversation.

He also shares with us his love of cons, some of his experiences, some of his favorite fandoms, and how his experiences were able to provide a wealth of inspiration for this book.

  • TTP #204 - Fencing, Fighting, Torture, Revenge, Giants, Monsters, Chases, Escapes, True Love, Miracles...
    This week Patsy and Ashes are joined by Powerful Brandon to talk about one of the most quotable, most heartwarming and most enjoyable films of the last 40 years, The Princess Bride. After briefly forgetting his name, Patsy is able to join the conversation as the three of them revisit their thoughts and feelings on this film and the memorable characters we meet along our journey. From Inigo Montoya to Miracle Mad Max (you'll get it once you listen) they discuss interesting behind-the-scenes stuff, the way the characters differ from the book the film is based on, and so much more! There's also a new battle, a preview of coming attractions, and the ever-entertaining banter between Patsy and Brandon when they both get sidetracked!

  • TTP #203 - The Deadly Sting of Scorpio!
    This week Patsy and Ashes are discussing the greatest one-off character in the history of television, Hank Scorpio form The Simpsons Season Eight, episode two, "You Only Move Twice". Not to worry though, because they also discuss their list of some of the other amazing single-appearance (occasionally twice) characters Springfield has shared with the world. All this, plus battle results, and a NEW ad by Patsy for a company you might be interested in, so stay tuned.
    1 hr 16 min
  • TTP #202 - Adventures in Babysitting
    This week Patsy and Ashes are covering characters from one of the most acclaimed television series in recent memory, The Mandalorian. Focusing mainly on the titular character...and of course his little green friend, they will take you on a journey through a galaxy far, far away as they talk about the Mandalorian's honor code, iron will, and the friends he makes along the way that help him as much as he helps them in what Patsy refers to as a "spaceghetti Western". They delve deep into Star Wars lore, both canonical and non-canonical to really do the characters justice in how special and well-developed they are. All this plus a new battle, science, wine, and more!
    1 hr 51 min
  • TTP #201 - What's Your Damage?
    This week Patsy and Ashes discuss one of Winona Ryder's most iconic yet underrated roles, Veronica Sawyer from the 1989 film Heathers! They discuss how her home and school lives contributed to her eventual role in the clique, her relationship with JD (Christian Slater), and how she got along with the other students in her high school, especially the titular Heathers. But that's not all! They also throw down a new battle, play a voicemail from a long-time friend and listener and talk about things they plan to do and learn during the now-extended stay-at-home orders. All this, plus a brand new Getting into Character segment, and more!
