372: Neptune’s Daughter
December 15, 2020 20:00I honestly thought the Dad in THE LITTLE MERMAID was Neptune, but, no. 'King Triton', apparently. There goes my bit.

Boom Room: Drakkon: New Dawn w/ Anthony Burch
November 08, 2020 20:00Drakkon's gone. All that's left is uniting two previously-warring armies against a brand new threat from space and dealing with the unexpected return of an old friend.

Boom Room: Sins of the Future w/ Matthew Erman
November 06, 2020 20:00This week we're racing to another time - and then back, and then forward, and then sort of sideways a couple of times. Time travel's complicated, kids.

LR 366: Ocean Blue

Boom Room: MMPR #55 w/ Ryan Parrott

Patreon Special : Theodore Rex
September 20, 2020 20:00At some point, around 1992, someone went into an office and said "what if Whoopi Goldberg was a cyborg future cop and she solved a crime with a T Rex?".
