Happy New Year! Welcome to Hell World 2020

Missing out on KoE content? There was a clog in the content hose over the New Years holidays, but we’re back and ready to sate your thirst. The RoA and Hashish and Superiority will be back soon, but first for patrons are three new discussions you can pick from depending on what kind of entertainment media most interests you:

TV – Is Rick and Morty stale now? How bout Stranger Things? The Kama- Sutra, Race, and Christmas Prince Movies are discussed!

Games – Is Death Stranding the the Thomas Pynchon novel of video games?

Books – Hugh was really getting into The Witcher novels. Which we talk about here BEFORE watching the Netflix Henry Cavill show.

Fall; or, Dodge in Hell: Parts 6 and 7 – Arguing about the Afterlife

Book One ends, but we’re still arguing the premise of the book.

Fall; or, Dodge in Hell: Parts 2 and 3 – Blowing up

We think we have a better idea of the book now, but do we?  Is this an angry book where Neal is working out his feelings on the 2016 election?  Are dumb people the biggest problem in the world? Welcome to Ameristan!  Is this intellectual elitism?  Plus we meet Enoch Root.  More predictions and trying to figure this thing out. Are we right?  Wrong?  What a sex scene!

Fall; or, Dodge in Hell: Part 1 – Getting Started

Happy Birthday Alan Moore

You maybe noticed the internet lose it’s mind over Alan Moore saying some disparaging things about superheros three years ago. As if his thoughts weren’t well known.
