Dork&Beans
by Elliot
Greetings! This podcast is a relaxed space for me (Elliot) to dish out talks on a whole bunch of dorky topics. You like movie reviews? I do 'em! You thoroughly enjoy comics? Well so do I! Whether you want to hear my take on something, throwing around some original ideas, or just listen to like-minded folks with similar interests, you're in the right place. I've always had an appreciation for ASMR videos, being a person who's had a hard time falling asleep for the last 15 years. And my intention was never to create a channel playing it up, but I've been told by a lot of people that in person/in episode my voice has an ASMR-ish quality to it. So why not, feel free to get as many tingles as you can while you're here. All my videos are pretty low energy and devoid of background noises, so that's a plus.Also I'm genuinely happy to hear suggestions and ideas, so if you have something you want covered let's hear it! I like discovering new and weird stuff. So if there's a comic from 1983 th

Dragon Age; Beanquisition
Good tidings to you! So I've clocked around 100 hours of "Dragon Age; Inquisition" on the PS4, and that's coming at it with no background knowledge. Never played the previous games, read the books, know the memes, etc. Just jumping into a big 'ol fantasy world. I had a great time though and…

A Series of Serious Pods, To Go!
We're living in an uncomfortable time. The global pandemic is only compounded by the fact that there's no movies/sports, an economic depression is looming, murder hornets are on the way and now we're on the brink of a race war. That's an exaggeration but it's still not great. I've been grappling...

A Shortened Bean Podito
Hey hey. So I can`'t even remember what``'s in this episode, it's been that kind of a month. Anyway, I'm back with another episode, for whatever that's worth! (?)

Back in Beans
This is post time-skip, so to speak. Coming back to the game after a few month hiatus. Raising a human and working a job, but also starting my own business on the side has left a narrow margin of time for fun things. And somehow Fallout 4 has been getting a lot of it. I think content will be a...

Boats and Joes
Like everyone else in the universe, I had an opinion on Joker. I liked it, listen to hear the specifics I guess. Cheers!

Error, Podcast Not Found
I can't remember when I made it, or even what it contains. Such is often the nature of this podcast so I'm rolling with it. Expect a few episodes to be published all at once soon, and then more to trickle in. Thanks for tuning in and your patience.

Once Upon a Siesta, with a lil' Halo 3 sprinkled in
A good day to you all. This was another exploratory episode, where we all get the pleasure of listening to the wide-wide world outside. My mic picks up it all, so enjoy the ambiance of a gentle breeze, trees rustling and of course some cars. I took a bit of a siesta this time, and decided to make...

SDCC is here, so let's get opinionated!
That's right, it was nerd Mecca last weekend, and as per usual that means we got teased with the upcoming docket of shows and movies. Just like with everything else, Disney was there to outdo everyone and unzip/flop out their schedule onto the table. I'd felt a bit of a different reaction than in...
-
Literally Far From Home
This is another wandering episode, so it looks like I happen to be "far from home". But yes, obviously I just saw the movie, and that's what's going on today guys. I'll cut right to it and say Spiderman was amazing, and super entertaining. The movies' lighthearted innocence of high-school life…

Pirates of the Caribbean 6; Oceans Apart
Ahoy! I couldn't keep my swashes buckled, so we're going to go into another PotC episode. I was working on somethings in a state of baby-induced insomnia and thought I created a winner for the plot/theme of the next Pirates adventure. We're going to take it to another part of the world again, and...

Noodles at Noon, let's talk about Shanghai
The film series, not the Chinese city. But both are great, shout-out to your thicc noods Shanghai (best noodles in all of China in this humble, non-Chinese guy's opinion). I started to record this episode with the hope that I was going to spin together a worthwhile fan-fiction on one of my…

Sun, Moon, Son, Suit
Dr. Seuss eat your heart out. It's podcast time guys, and today is half and half for nerd shit vs. real-life content. I was at a wedding, the official BM of the ceremony if you will. Having been married last year I can safely say attending a wedding is probably more fun than hosting one. Yes, not...

Fortnite on film. And Jaqen H'ghar was the white horse.
Welcome to the post-Thrones world. Season 8 has come to an end, and as literally anyone on the internet will tell you; it sucked. Combining the disappointments of tons of abandoned character arcs, complete departure from good writing and some stupid deaths, the show that captured the world's...

Avengers Endgame, world's greatest movie and emotional roller-coaster
We've reached the end of the game. Welcome back everyone, and if it's not clear; there's going to spoilers galore today. You were warned. The Avengers brings to a conclusion the Infinity Saga, effectively the greatest and largest cinematic undertaking of all time. The action was thrilling and...
-
This is it, a weekend for nerds like no other
Oh you know what's going on this weekend. Unless you live under an Amish roof, you'll probably realize that Endgame is finally here. All that wait, buildup and suspense is finally going to be paid off. I get a bit sentimental thinking about how Infinity War made such an impression on me, it…

The hopes and anxiousness of impending Fatherhood
Hola. I'll keep it brief today, because this episode is a bit of a departure from the nerd hash I'm usually slinging. I've got about 2 weeks left before my wife is expecting to give birth to our son Arthur (very stoked). And it's also a little under a week before Endgame comes out. I'd say…

Full Leaked Review of Endgame
Nah, I'm April foolin'! Sorry for that deception (or was it click-bait?) but yes, it is April Fools today. I'm going to talk a little bit about how annoying this day makes people, but there'll be legitimate content in there too. Plus I guarantee you didn't know it was Susan Boyle's birthday! I'll...

The SICKEST episode ever. Age of Sickmar runs deep.
Get ready for an ill episode.... I'll stop with the dad jokes now, but in case you missed the point, I'm not feeling too good. I don't usually get sick (one of "those people", I know) but after a brutal Winter, it's inevitable. Also doesn't help when your partner is sick, and you do literally...

You can dislike Captain Marvel without being an @$!hole about it.
It's true! And by the way guys, enjoy the sweet sounds of nothing in this recording as I've moved out of the turbine, and into a space for the requested peace/quiet. So a very happy Friday to ya'll because this has just felt like the longest week, glad that's over. Just as I started the pod out...

Alita 2: Blood Angel
Praise the Throne, it's podcast time! And throw on your Mechanicus robes because Alita 2 is going full Warhammer 40K. "Blood Angel" as in the Space Marine Chapter, though I'm just using it as a title pun since those guys blow. I obviously have the complete leaked script for Alita 2 (oh yes) and…

2019 Oscar season, 2019 Fortnite season
Greetings and salutations. Today's episode is about 3 or 4 things, but I thought that title had a nice ring to it. Through a patchwork of streaming, snap stories and reading micro articles afterwards, I managed to get a picture of the Oscars. Really nothing special this year, and after following…

Space Wolves barking at your door
Boof. That's my preferred dog noise, it rings like a St. Bernard vocalizing at you. Anyway, hello everyone. Thanks for coming back. Today we're doing a semi deep-dive into the world of Warhammer 40K. I could go on all day about this (and I have before) but Warhammer is sick. I love fantasy, 40K,...

2 cooks in the kitchen; a Bubbies in Suits collaboration
Oh hello there. Today is the first time you're going to hear someone that's not me in the podcast, so there you go. We're going to be tinkering with the Bubbies in Suits channel David and I produce, so we just had the usual WoW session and recorded it. As per usual let us know any comments,...
-
A racist drag-queen brunch, and Glass shattering the mold
Welcome, and if you didn't expect a Glass pun in the title then it's probably your first time here. Today's episode is (as they all are) a bit of everything, but I wanted to go into some detail on the two larger features. I went with my wife and some friends to a "Drag Queen Brunch", which is...
-
A sorrowful farewell to Batfleck
Greetings friends. It's been back and forth, up and down, but when the dust settled this week we got confirmation that Ben Affleck is stepping away from DC, and as Batman. I don't really care what anyone else thinks about this one, I salute the performance we got. We were lucky. He took…

Venom is sticky, but does it stick?
I know, the name is dumb. But honestly one of the more satisfying parts of the movie was watching the Symbiote blobs be so viscous, gross and well, sticky. The whole thing kinda reminds me of those sticky hands that you get at a carnival or dollar store. You swing it at smooth surfaces, people,...
-
Start the new year right, just wait to buy Fallout 76
Happy new year! Although chances are more people will catch this episode long after New Years Day, but whatever. Welcome back folks, today we're cutting through a few solid pieces of culture. I've got some games, some movies and some other stuff on the menu. I guess it's worth warning you of...
-
Let's get fucking soaked with Aquaman
This episode existed somewhere between a lengthy work marathon, an Aquaman showing and was 3 fueled by coffee and Reese's Pieces. Splish splash, it's Aquaman time. Which is the kind of catchphrase that kept him from getting cool all those years. I can't say how much of a relief it is for this…

Breakfast Rants; quick goodbye to the Infinity Blade, Shadow of Rome and who needs sleep.
*rooster noises* Good morning guys. Another early edition of the show, but thankfully later than 5AM. I've had a hankering for an old PS2 gem that I put hundreds of childhood days into, but I'm still trying to dig up the 'ol console to play it. I figured I'd cut you guys in on that, because the...

Out in the cold with Avengers Endgame
Okay I wasn't in the cold BECAUSE of Endgame, but that title sounded nice. Today I took things to nature to do another outdoor recording, so apologies for any noises/audio quality because of that. I can definitely see why relaxing in a park is more enjoyable in the breezy Summer weather than the...
-
World War 2, but with Wizardry
Here's one I only narrowly decided not to delete. A few months ago I was really sick with a cold/flu situation. So after overdosing on preventive drugs, I decided to shoot the shit with myself for a bit via recording, and this one was one of note. Even sober I stand by this idea though. I love...

Breakfast Special: Avengers 4 Trailer and Fortnite Season 7
Good morning folks! This is the earliest recording time I've done (we're talking 6AM) so enjoy it, and yes, that's why I'm calling it a breakfast special. The crack of dawn aside, today we're getting into it with some huge news. THE TRAILER FOR AVENGERS 4 IS HERE! There, so if you haven't seen it...

The one where he finds out he's a dad
Well the title says it all. To be honest, I've known for a little while but figured I'd sync it up to when we announced to the masses. So yeah, mazels to me. The wife is I think 4 months along, so expect that as time goes on there's gonna be some nerd dad type episodes. It'll be good, don't…

A mixed platter, caution; contains mild politics
Hey hey guys. Today was in response to me being stuck watching the news for most of my day. Not my first choice of activity. I like to keep aware of whats going on, mostly just with fast facts from trusted sources. But I do not consider myself a particularly politically active dude. Always very...

Seconds of Red Dead the Second. Also talking about the TV Gotham
G'day ya'll. As that'll suggest, this episode WILL have more Red Dead Redemption in it. I can't cover how much fun I'm having, and I guess you'll get a sense of that in the vid. Tons of crazy shit's out there for you to do, though I have a fondness for bounty hunting and train robbing. Also…

Good god Red Dead is good!
Howdy partners. I obviously opened with that because I'm hardcore into this game right now. Red Dead Redemption 2 is fantastic and lets you go on an cowboy epic that's immersive as hell (as I'll mention a lot in the video). Gameplay is as open as you'd want, with the detail and freedom to pretty...
-
Oh snap, it's Spiderman time. And let me complain about Hereditary for a sec.
What's up true believers. Going hard Marvel today, which I guess is a welcome break from the DC love-fest that this podcast is. I finally picked up Spooderman for PS4, holy shit is it fun. Grab the game as soon as you can, its such a good time. Spiderman doesn't get the respect he deserves. Guy...

A Tasting of Trailers
How about that Autumn? Anyway, just a short pod today since it's mostly just reactions and speculations to trailers. It maybe a little late on some of them, but i think that makes it funnier. Porbaly not though. Cheers!

A short-film pitch for DC, plus sampling the indie comic market
Hey hey. Just another episode for you guys to check out. I've been a little busy to cook these up fast enough, but I'm trying. As I said a few podcasts back, here is my short film idea I've been sitting on for a bit. Could use some work, and I'd love to hear suggestions. But I think this property...

TeenTitans, Rich Asians and Tomato Temple
Hello again people. As I mentioned in the cast, I'm bogged down by some kind of cold like affliction, so audio and volume are what they are. Sniffles included. I went to a "double feature screening" with my wife over the weekend, and we took in two very different movies. Both had ups and downs…

Highland opinions, boardgames and something spooky on Netflix
Aye, "Highland" as in Scottish. This episode's got a few things, from a surprisingly original Netflix horror movie, to a calm-but-fun board-game recommendation. Though it may confuse my D&D group (since this accent is most of their NPCs) I channel my Scottish roots to go on about some famous,...
-
Finally seeing AntMan, and the sad topic of replacing Batfleck
Good day to you all. I finally got the opportunity to go to the theatre, and to drag my wife to another summer blockbuster. AntMan and the Wasp was really worthwhile, I'd highly recommend checking it out. It's so nice to be able to laugh (and not sweat and grip my seat) in a Marvel movie, since...

Beans gets spooky horror picks, plus the good Avatar
Ahoy hoy! So I do need to catch up on my spook content levels, so I'm going to lay down two of my all time favourite "horror" films. I think my choices here deviate a little outside of the Friday the 13th contenders that make everyone's shortlist. What We Do In The Shadows is an absolute delight…

Sadness again in Toronto, and some ASMR speculation
Hello again. So today I wanted to make a video in response to another tragic event in Toronto. One of the fist videos I made (and some of the motivation to make) was from the terrorist van attack in Toronto many months ago. Now, again, there's an attack that so far ISIS has claimed responsibility...
-
Watch the Watchmen!
Come on, this one speaks for itself. Both one of the "best movies" and one of the best "comic book movies" ever. A beautiful snapshot of the Cold War and a grim picture of realistic superheroes in our world. I loved this movie so much it was foundational to a book I had published in University;...

The outside world! Taking the show on a road.
Hey guys. Usually I record at my place, in front of a screen of some kind, so today I decided to unplug it a bit. I headed to the outdoors of a local Provincial park, and just threw around some ideas on route. Kinda a mixed bag, I'm sure I'll do something similar soon, but yeah that is the wind…

An incomplete Fallout wandering and rambling
Hey my dudes. In this episode I wanted to talk about how much I love Fallout 4, like the amount of love was enough to Platinum the game (my first and only) so that's a thing. For some reason I had recorded this episode, but then ran into an assload of problems. First the original recording cut…

D&D and RPG usual suspects, and perhaps other stuff
What can I do for ya?! Getting into it this episode on some RPG creative elements. I was talking shop with another DM (guess GM is more inclusive) and we were trading notes on our stable of old reliable characters. The kind of archetypal, almost intuitive NPC's that you can whip up a moments...

Jurassic World 2 thoughts, and finally winding down on GoW
Oh, didn't see you there. This episode is pretty straightforward, just felt like going on about Jurassic Fallen Kingdom as soon as it ended. I liked it, make no mistake. But at the same time, Jurassic franchise contenders all get bogged down in some areas that I'll talk on. I've also got some...

A dark DCU pitch to get Red Hood involved. Plus some random fry-ups
Hey guys. This is one of those ideas that you formulate because you want to see your favourite character in something, and not necessarily because it seems like a good plan. I really want to see Jason Todd (not original but best Red Hood) in the DC cinematic universe. I think the world is gritty...
