Sanderson v Tolkien: Dawn Of Fantasy 08/08/2022

Sanderson v Tolkien: Dawn Of Fantasy Heavy Pod Is Heavy Cast! This week, we talk about new music. Shocking, I know. I wish I didn't have to keep writing these episode descriptions. You know how hard it is to continue to be creative and passionate about writing blurbs about a conversation you recorded a day ago, 271 times? Not that hard, to be honest. But still, it isn't exactly fun. Anyway, for SEO purposes and to get you to click on the episode, here are some things we talk about: Unprocessed, Ithaca, Touccan, Blind Guardian, Fellowship, Fallujah, The Algorithm, Cynic, Soulfly, Psycroptic, and In Flames. You could say that, even though the world is In Flames, I have to Cynically keep writing these descriptions to appease The Algorithm, but if this text would remain Unprocessed, I could let my Soulfly free and not have to worry about it. Anyway, we also talk about the early access HoMaM love letter Songs of Conquest, Bullet Train, the Paradox Games Grand Campaign, and Breaking Bad and Better Show Than Breaki-I mean Better Call Saul.

Rhetorical Spiritual Debacle Heavy Pod Is Heavy Cast! This week, we talk about some music, but also the responsibility of certain groups, like Asatru, which have some degree of overlap in iconography and ideology with various supremacist movements but claim to be against them; to examine their beliefs and how anyone can be a more responsible consumer of media.
