Rob's Rambling

A dusty figure emerges from beyond a crest of sand, do you dare to hope? Is it the sleeper, awakened once more to lead you on the Golden Path? The silhouette approaches you until you can peek under a tattered hood. The wizened face of an old friend peers at you and whispers, "Welcome back to Strikes Our Fancy" The boys are back, as this week Caleb, Rob, and Craig chat about Dune Part 2. Craig is far too excited to share his thoughts on the 2nd installation of the Dune series. Listen in as they discuss popcorn buckets, fanaticism, fandom, ecology, and anything else that struck their fancy, about Dune Part 2.

And they're back. Sorry about the unplanned hiatus, Craig took a bit of a mental health break during November, but now they are back in business. This week, Caleb is mysteriously missing as Craig and Rob chat with returning guest Mike about Toxic Masculinity. A bit more serious of a topic than compared to normal, but listen in as they discuss what it means to be a toxic dude, why some men seem to behave this way, and what they think can be done about it.

This week, the final bout between DC's Dark Defender, Caleb and Marvel's Guardian, Mike. They are joined by innocent bystanders Craig and Rob as they hash out their thoughts on "All-Star Superman" and "Secret Invasion". Listen in as the winner for this battle, and thus the war, is decided!

This week, Caleb, Rob, and Craig are joined by Mike to continue the bloody battle between the major comic houses, DC and Marvel. Listen in as they discuss round 2 of the fight. As Mike brings us Secret Wars to dissect from the Marvel side, and Caleb brings Batman Vol 1: The Court of Owls for DC. Who will win this round? Who will win the war?

This week, we start Season 3 off with our most ambitious project to date. Long time listener and sometimes guest, Mike made some bold claims about the Marvel comic universe being better than the DC comic universe. And that meant only 1 thing. Caleb, as champion of the DC-verse held up 3 runs of comics as the pinnacle of the printing house. Not to be outdone, Mike has done the same for Marvel. Listen in as they, along with Rob and Craig breakdown, build up, and break apart over these best of house. In a 3 part serious, Comic Clash!

We had a snag with the recording, so instead, listen to Rob rambling about the past year of podcasting, and about what the future holds!

This week, Caleb, Rob, and Craig have a chat about Body Augmentations. What constitutes augmentation? Do we already have some? Which would we like to have? Where is this industry headed? Drop in and listen in, this week on Strikes Our Fancy.

This week, Rob and Craig team up against Caleb to argue that Superman is one of the worst things a super-hero can be, boring. Listen in as they dissect different iterations of Superman, what he stands for, and how he could be more engaging.

Sorry about the late release and that it isn't maybe the episode you were expecting. We're taking a small break this week, but we will be back to normal in a couple weeks. We will see you then!

This week, Caleb, Rob, and Craig sit down with special guest Martin to share some of their thoughts on music. What are some of their favorite genres? What makes for good music in general? How many instruments does Martin really need? All this, and more, this week on Strikes Our Fancy.
