Before the finale even aired we got most of our Watchmen thoughts off of our chests. Hear more by clicking below and joining the patreon.
Watchmen is Over if You Want it

Catching Up with KoE
A month and no updates? What is going on? If you’re a patron or follow us at other places you know we haven’t been completely silent. And if you only check the website… really? Oh wow. Oh, and Wade celebrated the birth of his firstborn son. So that kept him busy.
If you’re subscribed to the Rules of Acquisition you’ve probably noticed the “ROA Remix” episodes we’ve been putting out. A lot has changed since we started re-watching Deep Space Nine in 2015. Each week another Kicker is listening to an episode of the ROA and commenting on how naive we were, and how cheap the microphones we had back then. Most recently this week Wade listened to the early Season 1 episode “Babel”
On the Patreon, we’ve been very into Righteous Gemstones. Plus we had a patron hangout on the question “Does Spock Suck?” Hear some of James and Hugh’s thoughts on both here
But that’s not all we’ve been up to. We’ve been hard at work preparing for the next season of the Hashish and Superiority Book Club. We’ve been dragging out the reveal of what our next book much longer than likely necessary. Promise there will be a big update on that soon!
A Kickers of Elves Roundtable: TNG’s “Sub Rosa”
A change in format! Hugh talked to listeners about the sexiest of Scottish Ghost Candle Stories, Star Trek: The Next Generations “Sub Rosa”
Special thanks to Kristin, Tom, Robert and Kate for joining us!

James and Hugh HATE Dune
While Wade’s out on paternity, The Hashish and Superiority Book Club unlocked the first two episodes of “Much A-Dune About Nothing,” our exploration of Frank Herbert’s Dune. In these episodes we cover the book, and emotions run high.
Patrons can check out more yelling about Dune. where we cover David Lynch’s 1984 film adaptation, the 2013 Documentary Jodorowsky’s Dune, and the 2000 Scifi channel Dune miniseries.

Porco Tarantino
Before we go all in on Quentin Tarantino’s ninth film, Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, we felt the need to compare it to Hayao Miyazaki’s 1992 film Porco Rosso. Why? Well it’s obvious, isn’t it?
James on Evangelion, and other things watched and unwatched.
We caught up with James’ progress on Evangelion and talk tv, Toy Story, and more.
What is it that anime does with storytelling that we’re not used to seeing?
Plus Legion and Heathers (the Dale Peck “Mary Pete” article of TV shows) and more things people haven’t actually watched.
Field of Streams – Evangelion
We watched twenty six episodes of Evangelion on Netflix. We pretty much know all about it now. More than all those anime kids, for sure.
