How High We Go in the Dark (2022) (Book Discussion)
Monday Jun 06, 2022
Monday Jun 06, 2022
Brianna and Caleb return to the bar to discuss another book, and this time Brianna's chosen a more topical offering! Not only was this book released in the same year that we're recording our episode on it, but additionally, the story is centered on a topic that is still (somewhat) in the cultural zeitgeist. Sequoia Nagamatsu's sophomore release is a collection of short stories that all build into one overarching narrative, taking place over the course of several decades during a global pandemic.

Strange Animation, Vol. 1 arrives at it's penultimate entry as Caleb and Isaac are joined by yet another guest for the series.

Caleb and Isaac return to the bar, and shockingly, it's just the two of them this time! The last time we released a bonus episode like this was all the way back in January, with Bonus #31. And today we're gonna cover much of the same ground. Video Games are once again brought to the forefront of the discussion, which dovetails into some talk on Video Game Based movies. But as we're often prone to doing, we also take a detour back into the wrestling world to discuss Wrestlemania 38, Night One.
This episode was recorded over multiple occasions, but mainly on December 12th, 2021 and Apr. 22nd, 2022.
