Audio Drama Sunday - 26 July
👹 G.O.B.L.I.N.S — Episode 6 - Bard Song, Birds Nest, Devils Bargain: the jump from “because the Pope is a stupid—” to Elisar finally saying a good insult is iconic. Also, Tripe’s comparison of humans to poems. It’s great that Tripe is actually pretty observant and competent; it really adds to the humour when he says something ridiculous.
🪕 The Reality Shaper — The Monsters: Nancy has finally been introduced, and she’s wonderful. The song between her and Boris is quick, catchy and delightfully ironic. Also, CB’s prayer to Loki was very atmospheric and Boris even shows a bit of a sense of humour. Let’s not think about the ending until the next episode comes out.
👹 @theredactedunit — Postmortem: Prodigy (Part 1) - S1E25: Prodigy (Part 2): I love a character who’s just a really good person. They’re not that common outside of kids books, but Jacob does everything right in this episode. He doesn’t take the route that most movie protagonists would take, and he’s so determined to help people! That leaves a really big cliffhanger for the next episode — but at least there’s more evil Jonathan Sims to look forward to.
@earwaxblog — EAR*WAX Magazine - Volume 1, Issue 1: You Didn’t Hear This From Me by Thumper is such a bop. I don’t consider myself much of a music fan, but I love EAR*WAX for introducing me to songs that I wouldn’t otherwise have heard of. There’s also my review of Higher Grounds in there, and there’s an interview with Lauren Shippen!!
