The Legendarium

In 1944, Professor Tolkien published a short story about a strange little man who was obsessed with a single piece of art that consumed his entire life. Sound familiar? It should. And if it doesn't, then listen on, and we'll lift the extraordinarily thin veil from this little wishful allegory. Ryan's taking a sick day for this one, so Craig, Todd, and Megan hash this one out without him.   Support the show on Patreon Join the conversation on Reddit MUSIC: "Adventure Time" and "The Seven Seas" courtesy of https://www.philter.no/

Is Kvothe a Mary Sue? Or maybe a Harry Potter? Why does Denna seem so hot? If Ambrose were a dessert, would it have marshmallows? It's chs. 36-66 of The Name of the Wind, so strap in for ... not much, since very little actually happens in this section. We're Kyle-less today, so Craig, Ryan, and Kenn sit down for an hour of NotW talk.   Support the show on Patreon Join the conversation on Reddit MUSIC: "Adventure Time" and "The Seven Seas" courtesy of https://www.philter.no/

Spoilers ahoy! Craig, Kenn, Megan, and Todd discuss the biggest, baddest, latest offering of Marvel cinematic fare. We go for our normal hour, then we kept the mics running and did an extra 15 minutes for Patreon subscribers.   Support the show on Patreon Join the conversation on Reddit MUSIC: "Adventure Time" and "The Seven Seas" courtesy of https://www.philter.no/

Welcome to the first(ish) of three episodes on The Name of the Wind, the first book in the Kingkiller Chronicle, by Patrick Rothfuss. Craig, Ryan, Kyle, and Kenn get right into the heart of why people love Rothfuss: the prose. Even in just the first third of the book, there are plenty of writing samples to choose from as they discuss whether "proetry" is the good, right, or best approach in genre fiction.   Support the show on Patreon Join the conversation on Reddit MUSIC: "Adventure Time" and "The Seven Seas" courtesy of https://www.philter.no/

Honestly, we debated even releasing this one. But it's probably just interesting enough to be worth listening to. The audio is terrible, and for a panel that enjoys digging into deeper themes and philosophy, we tended in this one to stay pretty surface-level. Craig (2nd readthrough), Ryan (2nd), Kyle, (2nd), and Kenn (1st time!) make their way through the first 35 chapters of The Name of the Wind, the first book in the Kingkiller Chronicle. Enjoy, if you dare. We're going to try this again next week!   Support the show on Patreon Join the conversation on Reddit MUSIC: "Adventure Time" and "The Seven Seas" courtesy of https://www.philter.no/

Two things right up front: We're sorry this isn't a Name of the Wind episode; we got our dates mixed up. Also, this is a pretty random episode. Please use the following time stamps to skip to where you want.   3:40 - Week in Review, Craig's drunken adventures, Disneyland16:06 - Ready Player One discussion47:35 - A Quiet Place52:23 - Jessica Jones season 2   Support the show on Patreon Join the conversation on Reddit MUSIC: "Adventure Time" and "The Seven Seas" courtesy of https://www.philter.no/

Spoilers, ahoy! The four of us, plus some guy named Kenn, dive into the weeds on Oathbringer, saying some of the things that were left unsaid after the last 3 episodes. There are far fewer tears, but to make up for it, there's ... well, no, apart from that, we've got nothing. But maybe you'll enjoy this episode anyway!   Support the show on Patreon Join the conversation on Reddit MUSIC: "Adventure Time" and "The Seven Seas" courtesy of https://www.philter.no/

We toyed with using the "explicit" tag on this one, just because of all the ass jokes around Puzzle the donkey. But we didn't. Craig, Ryan, Todd, and Kenn wrap up the Narnia series with The Last Battle, in which Lewis sends Narnia out with a bang. Hope you've enjoyed our, uh ... special treatment of Narnia, in a style only the Legendarium could ever hope to descend to.   Support the show on Patreon Join the conversation on Reddit MUSIC: "Adventure Time" and "The Seven Seas" courtesy of https://www.philter.no/

Todd's out sick for this one, so Craig, Ryan, and Kenn tackle The Silver Chair, the sixth book in the Chronicles of Narnia. Actually, Todd is rather missed in this one, because the rest of us didn't really have that much to say. So if you're one of those fans who loves all the tangents and barely-relevant jokes, then this episode is for you.   Support the show on Patreon Join the conversation on Reddit MUSIC: "Adventure Time" and "The Seven Seas" courtesy of https://www.philter.no/

It's our third of thr--- wait, this just in: It looks like we're going to need a fourth episode to get through everything we want to cover in Oathbringer. Strap in for a doozy on this one, because while Oathbringer has been a fun ride up to now, part 5 is really where we start getting kicked repeatedly right in the feels, and Ryan and Todd both struggle to contain their emotions in this one.   Support the show on Patreon Join the conversation on Reddit MUSIC: "Adventure Time" and "The Seven Seas" courtesy of https://www.philter.no/

Craig, Todd, and Kyle sit down for a roundup of everything they've been watching for the last few months. Topics include Black Panther, Star Trek: Discovery, Annihilation, Altered Carbon, Shannara season 2, and many more.   Support the show on Patreon Join the conversation on Reddit MUSIC: "Adventure Time" and "The Seven Seas" courtesy of https://www.philter.no/

Let's try something new, shall we? In the book with the least storyish story we've ever read, we base our conversation around the progression of said story. The results were ... well, they weren't much different from what we're all used to: tangents, bad jokes, and juvenile asides, with a tad bit of actual conversation thrown in. Enjoy.   Support the show on Patreon Join the conversation on Reddit MUSIC: "Adventure Time" and "The Seven Seas" courtesy of https://www.philter.no/

Craig, Todd, and Kenn discuss the fourth, or maybe second, book in the Chronicles of Narnia. Actually, they end up discussing a lot more than that, since these Narnia episodes have become even more tangential than normal Legendarium fare. Anyway, if that's your thing, then enjoy.

Craig, Ryan, Megan, and Todd dive into parts 3 & 4 of Brandon Sanderson's Oathbringer. We get into the lessons learned, the characters enjoyed, and the parts that made Ryan and Todd cry. We also announce a giveaway of one of the Legendarium's Advance Review Copies of Oathbringer.   Support the show on Patreon Join the conversation on Reddit MUSIC: "Adventure Time" and "The Seven Seas" courtesy of https://www.philter.no/
