Episode 20 - Hope You Like Adjectives!
🕑 Added 2018-10-16 13:27:12 +0000 UTC Wow! The Eye of Argon more than surpassed our expectations. Our ovals widened rotundly with every additional sentence Theis crafted. My god, the first four (4.5, really) chapters were only like six thousand words and we spent nearly two hours discussing them!Obviously there's a lot to cover here as Grignr makes his way through the Norgolian empire: wenches, sluts (not the same, evidently!), bovine antagonists, and some very creative punctuation? Once again, Mike's Hollywood sources have unearthed a long lost audioplay treatment of the book which provides some helpful context for some of the more confusing passages. And the long awaited return of "Real or Fanfic" contains what is probably one of the most unexpected slash pairings the internet has ever seen.

Shame that Theis didn't write a Theisarus, a guide for how to incorrectly apply random adjectives in substandard fantasy fiction! Bonus sections: "what is making love?", "anatomy of the mysterious female sex", "misspelled words: how to create confusion/interest in the reader's mind", "voodoo temples for the uninitiated", "ovals: uses you never thought of before!", and many, many more!

Echo the above about Conan! That’s where all the DNA for this traces back, in the 30s. Mike, how do you know about Frank Frazetta and not Robert E Howard??
