Words And Whiskey

Hey there folks! This week, we're bringing you something we released/recorded behind the Patreon paywall. Here with us is Ben from HowlerPod to discuss all things The Long Walk, including the 2025 movie release. We give our thoughts on both endings, and highly recommend you check it out (especially in the current environment).

Next week, we'll be back to more regularly scheduled programming, talking Sun Eater, starting with Howling Dark, before jumping back to The Lesser Devil.

Cheers!

Hey there folks! This week, Josh and Kross continue their path through the ruins, navigating the Cielcin appearing, and more...

A note from Kross: While I talk a lot about Augustinian philosophy, I think it's important to note that this isn't a comprehensive, or even partially complete reading. While I did go 'off' about it, I do think it stays (mostly) true to the core tenants insofar as it pertains to the story. Leave notes below on your thoughts if you have them!

We're amped to continue, and next week we'll be back finishing out the story! That episode is a loooong one, so be prepared!
