Episode 696 - Tropes
Jul 15, 2024
We're talking about tropes that we like hate. Some we brought up were conspiracy theories, especially the ones that involve a whiteboard where all the info and photos stuck on there are connected by red string and the ones in anime where at the end of the episode a mysterious character looks at the action from a distance and says cryptically “ah, this is all going exactly to plan…”
Topics and Show Notes
Others included Isekai, Life re-dos, power couples, Time loops, and 1930s style adventure. Oh, and one I hate is the courtroom episode trope. What are your fave story tropes and which ones you do dislike with a passion?
This week Gunwallace has given us a theme inspired by 696 - Faeward - A very happy, joyful and jaunty tune with an almost nautical air about it with a variety of instruments, mainly synth, with a special appearance by bagpipes.
