BONUS: Intro to Numbers Year 01/01/2026

BONUS: Intro to Numbers Year After weeks spent training with the Tibetan Numerologists of Appalachia, Old Tomato Face had an idea. It was an idea so crazy that only the whole pantheon, dedicating an entire year to it, could pull it off. What if, instead of a theme month, there was a theme year? A year based around the numbers of the weeks, from 1 to 52 (and also 0, but not 53). It was an idea so mad that it should have been laughed out of the group chat. Instead, Thor laughed it out of the group chat and straight into your ears. Welcome to Thor's Year of Numbers! The first numbered film will be Zero Effect (1998). /episode/index/show/4d3a4b09-cf5d-42d2-b0b6-acd97b93316c/id/39177510
