Gene Pool Variety Hour, Episode 08: DragonCon 2019, Radius, and More Chicken Chasing!

We're baaaack! Gotta say that it was so fun to get back to the podcast! It has been almost two years. There have been a lot of reasons why it has been that long, so we spent time in the beginning just explaining our absence. We're going to try to clean the podcast episodes up a bit - straining against our combined ADHD to put a little structure on the episodes - and chat about that as well.

Gotta say that it was so fun to get back to the podcast! It has been almost two years. There have been a lot of reasons why it has been that long, so we spent time in the beginning just explaining our absence. We're going to try to clean the podcast episodes up a bit - straining against our combined ADHD to put a little structure on the episodes - and chat about that as well.

DragonCon 2019 had to be part of the discussion, since we have only recently returned from our Geek Mecca... Also, I spent most of my time in the Digital Media Track this year and it was there I got encouragement to pick the podcast back up! Thanks everyone!

So our "anchor" segment each week is going to be something called "Rolling for Credits" where we basically just roll for initiative suckas! Er, I mean we use our trusty dragon dice to find a random movie to watch and review.

This week, the movie is Radius, a 2017 movie currently streaming on Amazon Prime. I loved it! Connor thought it was just okay. He's just wrong. Anyway, there are some minor spoilers, but we made sure to ruin the HUGE TWIST that would otherwise ruin the ending of the movie for ya. I highly encourage you go check it out!

Since we're rusty and just getting our feet wet, this made for a pretty short episode for us. Also, I pretty much forgot how to structure my episode building in Audacity, so there's no intro in this episode LOL. It'll get better. I hope.

Wanted to throw our links to a couple of podcasts we mentioned in the episode and people that have been really encouraging of our efforts. So here ya go!

Stephen and Smashie @ Horseshoes and Hand Grenades

Dennis, Philip, Austin, Tristan, and Jon @ Botched Podcast

We've just started diving into Borderlands 3 and will be streaming this for the foreseeable future. Look for a full review next episode!
