Episode 61 - Don't Put Ketchup on your Death Dog
🕑 Added 2019-11-26 19:47:07 +0000 UTCAh, Shadow Moon... That's a name we haven't heard in a long time... Well, a week at least!
Join us as we continue our deep dive into the Lucas/Claremont saga "Shadow Moon". This section begins with a bunch of Death Dogs getting impaled, decapitated, and having various organs thrown into raging infernos. We'll debate whether Thorn/Willow (Thillow?)'s ability to do any magic that is required of the situation cheapens the drama (it does.) And we'll do our best to imitate what a Daikini accent might sound like. Spoiler: It sounds like a Chicago accent performed with two wildly varying levels of skill.
All this plus a tricky bunch of fanfic, some emails that explore some theories about whether this was actually ever supposed to be a Willow book, a listen to Maulroom absolutely crushing it at the bar on Ladie's Night, and one very special Llamacorn.
For next time, read up to page 150!

I had just gotten my car back from the shop, and when I heard the subtle squeaking I worried for a second it was something going wrong with the new part, until I hit pause on the podcast & the squeaking disappeared. lol

Guys, I think I found the inspiration for Maulroom's beard: https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,h_1405,w_2500,x_0,y_0/f_auto,q_auto,w_1100/v1554409419/shape/mentalfloss/578936-gettyimages-929360234.jpg

Btw, I heard no squeaking, but I don't listen on headphones. I want the world to hear your hilarity, like it or not

Ah ha! I was out of town when we recorded this one and my section was the beginning of the movie, so I never saw the whole thing! Gotta go back and rewatch that sweet desk sandwich action... -Conor

My favorite part of the Claremont interview is when he talks about failing to record the first hour and a half of the discussion with Lucas. Maybe that was the root of the whole problem!

I can't believe you guys didn't pick up on the whole "death detection" thing. Obviously we're dealing with a buncha Oolangas here!

I nominate ALL fantasy dialects to be done in a variety of midwestern/western accents. Sick of this English/Scottish/Irish garbage.

Kancho is also popular in Japan (or so I've heard. I taught junior high school English there for two years there and never saw it played). I don't know about Korean, but "kancho" is literally the Japanese word for "enema".

Uhhh. As someone who grew up in chicago you have a lot of work to do on your accent. Sounded closer to a cheese head Wisconsin accent.

Very, very real. There are a surprising amount of trading cards associated with borderline franchises from the 90s.

Yay yay! The llamacorn is officially an emote in the 372pages discord as well!

I don't have a copy of the book yet! I'm going to be one of THOSE LISTENERS

Crap. I still have to read this assignment.

I was positive at first that the TekWar cards were a bit, but nope, they are inexplicably real.
Christian
Dying. :) So glad the cards arrived! Enjoy!

This was such a weird section to try and reconcile with the very PG, kid-friendly Willow movie. I can't wrap my mind around the image of a grizzled and road-worn Warwick Davis putting Kid Werewolf in the Camel Clutch.
