Poddin into the void
The next phase of the podcast has begun! All of our series on the films of David Lynch are now available to listen to in any order that you wish. Except Fire Walk with Me. You’ll have to wait til we drop the next batch of episodes for that. Because Twin Peaks.
Continue reading “Kickers of Elves on Lynch” Big changes are coming to The Rules of Acquisition Podcast. For one, we’re changing the name. We’re done with DS9, so the RoA is done with us. From here on out “Kickers of Elves” is going to delve deep on a variety of subjects. So tell your pretentious friends who don’t care about Star Trek that we’re covering all the films of David Lynch and then Twin Peaks. And then what? Who knows? We’ve gone mad with power and the availability of microphones and easy distribution.
Listen to the note above for more info, check out the patreon for regular content, and keep checking this site/feed for updates.
So maybe you read the post below about how we had nice things to say about Star Trek: Discovery?
…
Forget all that.
If you haven’t been keeping up, Star Trek Resignation has been Discovery Home Companion-ing all through season three and it’s all finally over. Check out the final episode below. That’s it. The pod is over! At least until we possibly let Glen Status Report all over us.
Missing us? We didn’t go anywhere. If you’re on the patreon anyway. The Rules of Acquisition has been quiet. But hey, covid time is rough isn’t it?
Wade, James, and Hugh are still active over at the patreon where we’re mostly talking about things other than Star Trek. For instance. Something happened this week? And Aziz Ansari? Huh?
Star Trek Resignation has slowed down, but don’t worry, we’re still resigned to doing A Discovery Home Companion. Promise.
A Discovery Home Companion has returned from being cancelled. We ain’t no Garrison Keeler or Jeffrey Toobin!
But wait what is going on here? Wade, Glen and Sean have watched the season three opener, and… have overall positive things to say about Star Trek Discovery? What the…
For everyone who thought we don’t know a good time and were gonna hate on Disco no matter what: Hey, if they make a good show we’ll say so!
But hey, we’re not total fanboys yet. WE GOT SOME NOTES.
and yes, Status Report is still a thing.
This season of Lower Decks is over, which means it’s time to retire “Under the Bridge.” No overdoses are expected, but then there’s always Star Trek: Discovery coming up, so who knows if we’ll get a killer dose of Trek or not.
In the final podcast of the season, we finally get the show we wanted, and realize which of us is the Boimler and who is the Mariner style “agent of chaos.”
Catch up on all the episodes this season, and be on the lookout for what’s next for Star Trek Resignation. It might not be all that long of a wait!
If you’re caught up on Lower Decks or not, it’s a great time to jump on Under the Bridge. For the first time in over five years of being in the other room from Wade, Joanie Baczewski joins to give more opinions on Star Trek from someone who doesn’t really know much about Star Trek. The episode after that also dropped this week and is pretty fun.
Wade’s love interest guests on the podcast!
I hope you’re up on your netflix sketch shows:

What the hell, man. What’s with yet another name change? Seriously. Ok, here’s the straight goss: I was getting tired of “rebranding” this and changing the name every time a new Star Trek show aired – From A Discovery Home Companion to Can’t Picardly Wait to whatever this is- and then what, change the feed back to “DiscoHome”? Sure, I could just put up a new feed, but then you’d have to find it all over again, and who wants that? Also: I’m cheap. A bold choice was made to try and settle on a single, unchanging, name for the Discovery Home/Picardly Waiting/ The Next Thing feed. Days of bickering ensued. So much thought and navel gazing happened until nothing made sense, like spelling a word over and over again until even the correct way looks ridiculous and wrong. Nerves and friendships were frayed. Nothing was resolved. Finally “Star Trek Resignation” slipped out like a wet fart, and we were simply too weak to fight for anything better. We resigned ourselves to nitpicking and criticism, and just let it happen- Hey, sounds like a Star Trek Podcast to me!
But we’re talking about Lower Decks! What does Resignation have to do with that? Another dumb name we just couldn’t resist came about, so we’re also calling our Lower Decks podcast Under the Bridge. “Are you High? But the feed is Star Trek Resignation,” you say, angrily. Don’t overthink it. Think of “Under the Bridge” like a subtitle if you have to. Resign yourself to it; like how Glen, Sean, and I resigned ourselves to talking about Star Trek; or else resign completely from these new Star Trek shows podcasts, like James and Hugh did.

Are you a regular visitor to this site, but not any of the other places where Kickers of Elves content appears? Are you sad and confused by the lack of updates? Well hey, we haven’t gone anywhere!
Wade, James and Hugh have been keeping track of Hell World and life in the time of Corona over at the Kickers of Elves Patreon
The Rules of Acquisition has been irregularly posting “The RoA Remix” to all the regular places that RSS feed shows up.
and get ready for more Trek content soon over at Can’t Picardly Disco Home or whatever it is we’re calling that this week.
The end of everything. Or is it? We get our final criticisms out on what Star Trek: Picard did in this final episode and what we might think of how they built these new characters and killed some old ones.
