Lunchtime! It’s a snow day today, which prompts us to talk about that most nostalgic of feelings when you know there’s the possibility of an unscheduled day off from school. Then we go deep into A.Ron’s chimney to talk about the woes of remodeling. Finally, it’s all topped off by listener questions.
This time we’re capping off Station Eleven with a talk about all 10 episodes before going into the surprise hit, Peacemaker, dipping a toe into The Righteous Gemstones, and revisiting Children of Time now that we’ve both finished it. Top all of that off with a scoop of Patron Topics and you’ve got an episode of Off the Clock.
Lunchtime! This week Jim talks about his plans to rewire his house with ethernet cables, then we talk about some of the TV and games we watched and played over the holiday break, including Unpacking and Warhammer 40k: Space Marine.
Lunchtime! Jim tells the tale of his move and we answer a bunch of listener questions.
It’s an episode packed full of content this week, but it’s all centered around one show, Station Eleven. We talked for so long about this intriguing spiritual sibling to The Leftovers that we ran out of time to talk about anything else. We’ll be back soon enough to cover all the other media we consumed over the holiday break, but for now, enjoy this in-depth discussion on Station Eleven.
Lunchtime! We’re back from break with a whole bunch of stuff to talk about. Jim has closed on his house and has a laundry dilemma. He’s also been to the Cincinnati Zoo’s Festival of Lights off-season. A.Ron has been painting minis and his son has been buying the family Christmas gifts.
This time on Off the Clock we do a wrapup of Cowboy Bebop’s first and only season, talk about Wheel of Time and streaming service woes, decide whether 8-Bit Christmas is a new holiday classic and A.Ron does a Hallmark Christmas roundup. Then he talks a bit about Iain M. Banks’ “Culture” series before we finish off the episode with this month’s Patron topics.
Our final Merry Scary Christmas podcast is out. Be careful not to get it wet, and whatever you do, don’t feed it after midnight. That’s right, it’s the holiday classic Gremlins, ready for you to unwrap. It was a lot of fun to record, and we hope you get as much joy from the listen.
Christmastime! Join us for this super-sized, final Christmas episode of 2021 where we talk about Jim’s good house news, answer all the listener questions, then conduct our annual watch party of our One-Man Manger Christmas project.
