In this episode we once again play a game of our own devising called “Wheel of Tropes.” We use random TV Tropes, results from Rory’s Story Cubes, story titles from “The Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror: Fourteenth Annual Collection“, edited by Terri Windling and Ellen Datlow, and entries from Diana Wynne Jones‘s The Tough Guide to Fantasyland to create a new story.
Content warnings for strong language and bad science/academia jokes.
We discuss and potentially spoil: Hamilton: An American Musical, “Evil Is Bigger” trope; “picked a lock with a hairpin” tweet, Ben Pastor‘s “Achilles’s Grave”, the Trojan War, Stardew Valley, the Domesday Book, “Boisterous Bruiser” trope, Fullmetal Alchemist, Thor, Firefly, Critical Role, Archer: Dreamland, Dennis Etchison‘s “My Present Wife”, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, John Mulaney‘s “The Comeback Kid”, The Witch (2015), Oingo Boingo‘s “Weird Science“, Doctor Who‘s “The Christmas Invasion“, and Twilight
