Episode 130: Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)

In this episode, we make a triumphant return after being beaten down by scheduling conflicts and illness to deliver one of the longest jumbo-sized episodes of the show ever as we continue our summer spree of mashing up our dual love for roleplaying games and cinema. So join us as we tackle the chonky dragon in the room and look into the world's oldest (and some may say greatest) roleplaying game by checking out its recent box office failure, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, from 2023. Jason stands ready to hold them to task with many grievances that explain its failure to connect with audiences and turn a worthy profit, but opposing him is Dustin with much love for a faithful representation of the Forgotten Realms and an argument that this may be the most honest adaptation of a typical RPG session to ever exist. But before all that, we've got so many movies to dish on, including many recent theater releases and a marathon of the entire Evil Dead franchise in honor of the new entry. And so much more!
