We catch up after the thanksgiving holidays and talk what we’ve been watching and reading.
Subjects include: The Irishman, Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal, Watchmen; ok yeah baby Yoda is discussed; Jeff Vandermeer, Tezuka, Apple tv+, More problems with toxic (star wars) fandom
This and more has been added for patrons over at patreon.com/kickersofelves
Only patrons have the requisite power level to attain this full content.
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 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!

In the meantime, Kickers of Elves patrons can catch up on Wade's baby, and hear about the time he shook down a church for pants.https://t.co/DkodFEVwXW pic.twitter.com/7D2bmywuCb
More info on this for patrons!
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.

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?
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.
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.
James and Hugh watched the new Bob Dylan doc on netflix, “Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story By Martin Scorsese”
Wade didn’t watch it. Turns out he didn’t miss much?
