Let’s admit it: we’ve all seen Lord of the Rings at least five times and held Game of Thrones watch parties. Why? Because fantasy is just that damned good of a genre, allowing for magic and the fantastical to ignite our imaginations and take us off into another world. In this week’s episode, while swooning over fantasy, we also discuss the political elements that make up traditional high fantasy stories, tear apart the tropes and talk about ways in which this genre could become even better.
