Bonus Episode 15 – Road Trip and Pokemon GO FEST Recap

Magic the Gathering turned 30 this year…but not actually. We will get to that controversy and the giant convention that Kyle attend this week. We go REALLY deep on the Magic talk so be warned this might not be for everyone. However, if you like Magic or conventions about nerdy stuff, this one is for you.

We are back! Sorry, but Kyle was kidnaped by pirates. That is not actually what happened, but we will get into it before talking about how favorite game of 2021: Valheim. This indie darling swept the world by storm last year talking many game-of-the-year accolades. No surprise, this game is amazing, and we talk about all the things we love about it.

Baywatch Nights is a masterpiece of a time capsule that was the nineteen hundred and nineties, and I will hear no slights against it! Seriously, the mysterious nature of this how has catapulted this two season show into meme cult status, but we wanted to understand how this show got made and who it was for. In watching it (all shows up on YouTube) we learned so much about the time period, television, and discovered there was actually some good stuff too. Also, season 2 was a cocaine fueled nightmare that had aliens and the Hoff punches a mummy. When the sun goes down, baby!

College football season is here, and there are fewer things in this world that bring us as much joy (and crushing disappointment) as our favorite sport. Still, for those not part of the college football cult, deep investment in armature sports might seem odd. This week we take a look at the sport, what makes it unique, why we love it, what it could improve, and where this strange game is going.

Sharpen your hammers, it’s time to talk about Thor Four the Thoring. This movie truly is an odd duck. Infused with Taika Waititi energy from start to finish, it’s a little like Ragnarok, but mostly this movie is its own thing for good and ill. After some time to stew on it, we are finally ready to talk about this entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Check out James’ Instagram for graphic design.

Sharpen your axe and grab the hoe! It’s time to do some farming. We are talking about Stardew Valley this week. This indie game took the world by storm in 2016, and has cultivated a cult like following owing to its charming art, great characters, and fun game play. This game is something that can appeal to anyone. Ash joins us this week to talk all about our favorite farm game. Check out James’ Instagram for graphic design.

GO Fest 2022 is a wrap! We talk about the event, the gameplay, and the people on the show this week. Also, deranged road trippers that we are, our band of 3 drove from Las Vegas to Seattle and back again. We have a lot to say about our journey, but I can sum it up by saying this past week I learned two important things; the unparalleled beauty of the American West and that 1982’s “Gloria” by Laura Branigan slaps.

This show is a throw back to our Pokemon GO roots so we can call it Pokemon GO Radio 281! We are so excited for Pokemon GO Fest 2022 in Seattle this week. In order to get back into the swing of things, we brought a real expert to the show. DPhiE is a Pokemon GO podcaster, streamer, PVP expert, and all around super cool person. We talk about the game and our expectations for this GO Fest. Follow DPhiE @DPhiE250 and check her out every week on the GoCast podcast.

This week we are talking about one of the greatest animated series that you might not have ever seen before. Over the Garden Wall is a short mini series that premiered on Cartoon network in 2014 to great acclaim. The art style, music, writing, and voice acting are truly incredible. If you watch these ten about eleven minute episodes, you will not regret it. Over the Garden Wall is literally a masterpiece. Twitter – @BonusEpisodePod Email – [email protected]

Happy Birthday to our homeland this fourth of July. Just like with all family members, there are things we love and things that bring us deep, personal shame. Yet, we take this opportunity to celebrate some interesting American history. Some odd, some heroic, and some stories from the past that are shockingly still familiar. This podcasts celebrates our love of this country and the study of history.
