Before the Beginning

Banes at 12:00AM, Sept. 27, 2018



One of the great things about the original Star Wars movies was the strong sense of a grand, adventurous, and terrible history before the movie started.

No pic for this one. I'll add one later if the fates allow!

Quackcast 379 - Troptastic

Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, June 19, 2018

LISTEN!

ALL the tropes!!!!
Based on Emma Clare's newspost, tropes are damn useful but they can also be your undoing if you handle them badly. Tropes are shortcuts to meanings, scenes, procedures or jokes that take too long to set up in their own right. You can use them ...
