Episode 18: Where the Money Is; Epic Battles in Fiction; Welcome to Expedition!

Welcome to Episode 18! The one where I need more coffee...

In this episode:

 

• Our Geek Question of the Day: What is your favorite epic battle from fiction? Superheroes and Orcs and Dwarves, oh my!
  
• In our Roll for Credits segment, we dive into 2000's Where the Money Is, starring Paul Newman, Linda Fiorentino, and Dermot Mulrooney.  What happens when a convict suffering the effects of a stroke is transferred to a civilian nursing home and cared for by a nurse who has always yearned for excitement in her life? How does her well-meaning but unexciting husband handle it all? Hop in to so. Interestingly, this was the last movie Paul Newman filmed as lead actor. Was great until the end!
• Finally, we dive into a new game that we have had for a while but never really played. Expedition is a card-and-mobile-app based RPG in the vein of D&D, where the mobile app basically fills the role as DM. Think D&D-lite, but it was fun nonetheless. Of course it didn't run smoothly, but we'll clean it up when we finish the campaign in the next episode!

 

And as always, several chickens were chased, though none were harmed in this episode.
