Dan: On this episode we discuss Hawk the Slayer
Elliott: The movie that dares to ask the question; what if you watched your friends play D&D for an hour and a half but you didn't get to share their Doritos.

Official Show Notes

“Hollywood” Kalan really worked his connections this episode, to bring us the utterly wonderful Felicia Day (of The Guild, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Supernatural, MST3K: The Return, and much more) to discuss seminal high fantasy, low budget epic “Hawk the Slayer.” Meanwhile Dan drops a crazy Pink Panther fact, Elliott launches an insulting guess-by-mail contest, Felicia is intrigued by some fish-eating prowess, and Stuart’s in this fantasy discussion like a fuckin’ fish in water.

Also, we’re no longer accepting receipts for the charity raffle, but the whole video livestream show is available for viewing on our YouTube page. We give an exact figure in the show, but between you generous listeners and the show’s own donations, we raised about SEVENTY THREE THOUSAND dollars for charity. Thank you so much for doing good in the world!

Stinger

Felicia: Listen, I was just uh, a little villager with a little tent and a dream and I caught those butterflies and I mined those ore–rocks and I played that terrible turnip game, but I did it, I did it for my baby
Elliott: I mean it sounds like a great game
