So the conversation is all about the new Duck Tales this episode. I didn't know much going into it, other than it existed. I watched it (thanks to John) over the weekend of my birthday, and had an enjoyable time viewing it with my lady.

It's enjoyable, and if you have any nostalgia for the original there's a very real chance you might enjoy it. There's also a very real chance you may have a few of the same criticisms we did (Launch Pad, we're looking at you here). 

One big note I want to make is thanks to listener meg-elizabeth who gave us a little bit of the background on Tony Anselmo becoming Donald Duck. John has some heavy criticisms for Donald, and meg-elizabeth shared links than Mr. Anselmo did with Leonard Maltin detailing how he ended up becoming the voice of Donald after the original voice-actor, Clarence Nash, passed away. It's a sweet interview and if you have any interest in Disney, film history, or voice actors it's worth a watch. I'd like to thank meg-elizabeth for the conversation in the comments on the Soundcloud site, which you can click on the speech bubble on the track above to see. 

Part 1.


And of course Part 2:


We don't dislike Mr. Anselmo, John just dislikes the voice of Donald Duck. We actually talk about it more in the episode that follows this one. But until then listen to the catchiest t.v. theme song ever written put to the video of All the Single Ladies by Beyonce!

We covered a lot of stuff in this episode. Some of it briefly, some of it more in depth. So let's dive in!

John, through luck and amazing friends, has been to every Salt Lake City Comic Con and FanX since the first one in 2013. It's nine different events that he's been able to attend, and he's enjoyed himself every time. I have only been to one, unfortunately, but hey, there's always next year! To see some of the stuff that happened this year at SLCC17, just follow the link. It's an amazingly big convention, especially for such a small state, and it outranks a lot of similar conventions in a lot bigger areas. 

Of course one of the big things about SLCC17 for John was getting to pick up some more MonsterHedz art from our friend Ronnie Hansen. I've known Ronnie for years and I can tell you that he's one hell of a nice guy and he puts a tremendous amount of passion and work into everything he does. Check out his website, and for up to date info, the Facebook Page here. 

John's Orklings and Cyclopslings from MonsterHedz.

Next China Mieville: All things aside (if you know anything about him) China Mieville's worlds - specifically New Crobuzon - are amazing. I'm not going to go into any great depth here. I have a feeling that we will soon be putting Perdido Street Station on the calendar and dedicate a full episode to it. Here's an article from the AV Club as sort of a Mieville primer if you will. 

Finally, very briefly. 'Allo 'Allo is on Netflix, go watch it. John has, and I will be very soon. 

Magic the Gathering's next set, well here's their website go check it out. 

Here's some updates to the Disney/Netflix goings on. 

And, if you're in Utah, come out to the Bluebell Corn Maze and visit the Creep Farm. It's fun, and you'll get to meet me!

And finally here's John's Patreon page. Take a look at his Food Reviews too!

Disny and Netflix are parting ways!

Xhamster offers to buy the rights to Sense8

Brittish Cannibals! 
[Here is the actual paper on this. If you speak "SCIENCE" or more specifically "ANTHROPOLOGY!" it may prove to be a fascinating read. Otherwise follow these other links for a more layman explanation.]

[This is a fun game, but I'm undecided whether to continue playing. If it wasn't still subscription based it would be a no brainer, but with Path of Exile now available on Xbox One, as well as a large group of RPG's still on my back list it's a tough sale. It's currently on sale (till August 31st) and comes with a month free, so I still might dive into it, but then again....]
