The Palladian Papists

This week, we're talking about the Netflix Fantasy series "The Dragon Prince." Generally speaking, I like the humor in the show, but the coy jokes about things that have a name in real life and they subvert that by making up a different obtuse name for the thing, like coffee for example, is stupid and annoying and I hate it.

Merry Christmas from the Palladian Papist crew! This is our Christmas Special and 150th episode celebration rolled into one. It's about as chaotic as your local breakfast and disaster scale reference establishment if you live in the south, so buckle up for some arguably excessive merrymaking and speculation about the suspicious death of Santa Clause in a certain Tim Allen film. Ultimately, we do end up talking about Netflix's 2019 Christmas film "Klaus."

Yep, we're back from yet another hiatus, from which we surely shall never ever go on another one, ever, at all, positively not. If we did, which we certainly will not, but if we did (but we won't), it wouldn't be when our lives get crazy again, which it won't, because we won't and it won't. ....Oh yeah, Horizon Zero Dawn, enjoy.

Disclaimer, Adrien Brody DOES NOT star in Steven Spielberg's 1975 classic film "Jaws" as the well-meaning police chief of an island tourist town trying to prevent needless death. Nor does his character have the first name Adrien. Just want to make that clear. If he did, which he certainly does not, that'd be wild. But it isn't. Because he's not.

That's right baby, a real, honest-to-goodness Saltcast from your boys, we're talking about why movies and shows aren't original or unique or creatively interesting these days. And we do manage to put our own spin on it, believe it or not. Because saying the same things that everyone else says to get in on what's popular would drastically undercut what it is we're trying to say now wouldn't it.  (00:00) Intro/Banter/What we've been up to (18:21) Saltcast - Topic (54:25) Outro

Surprising lack of vampires when you think about it. Gothic architecture, British accents, and lots of the fluid we need to keep us alive, and it all happens at night. Missed opportunity maybe? I dunno, I never cared for vampires much anyway. We discuss From Software's "Bloodborne" in today's episode.

LISAN AL GAIB! THE SHAI HULUD FEELS A LITTLE SCARED IN SOCIAL SETTINGS! SHY HULUD.  Ok, got that out of my system. Amidst this dreary psychotic desert of suitable content for your ears (or eyes), come find an oasis of auditory (and visual depending on the medium) sights and sounds sure to stir up your religious fervor and rally you to join forces under the banner your local skinny white boy from another planet and shake up the drug sandbox that isn't the American Southwest this time to overthrow the forces of evil in this week's episode about Denis Villenueve's "Dune", part one and two.

Da Vinci Resolve, if your life had a face I would punch it. This was a rough one to edit for some reason, just lots of little glitches and issues. Idk why. But you're here for the Spotify version aren't you? You are? Cool. Thanks for being here. Scott Pilgrim doesn't stick around long to kick off Netflix's animated "Scott Pilgrim Takes Off" in today's episode. Seriously Da Vinci Resolve what the heck did I ever do to you?

Somebody get some crutches for my boy Cal Kestis over here, he's stumbling and bumbling his way around all weird like. Seriously, he's going to break a bone if he keeps tipping over like this. That's right, we're talking about Respawn's Jedi: Fallen Order. And yes, Reilly's mic is quiet, we're working on it.

CCC Cartoons, coming to a church basement half-assed kids' play area with a tube tv on a wheeled cart near you! I will say, at least the animation was ok to passable, unlike the bizarre flash cartoon of Leif Erickson I got from the library once as a kid. I will say though, the part of that cartoon that is the most annoying to me is the crappy and nearly nonexistent lip sync on that. I guess I have high standards for the way animated characters are animated speaking. Speaking of high standards, we're talking about a cold war thriller Bridge of Spies.

If you're ever beset by a pugilistic and diminutive chicken-like creature with a penchant for late 90's space operas, know that at least we've combined those thoughts together into one podcast episode banter session. This podcast is a return to topic discussion, namely a Saltcast about the genre of Dark Fantasy and how it is seldom done well.  (00:00) Intro/Banter (17:25) Saltcast: Dark Fantasy discussion

Thomas Cruise is Thomas Cruising for a Bruising as he relives the same day over and over and over again trying to fight them aliens. Those dirty aliens keep changing the time to rig the game in their favor. We can't stand for it. And neither could Thomas Cruise in "Edge of Tomorrow." We happened to unintentionally record this the day before Groundhog Day, so make of that what you will. Also, apologies for the occasionall microphone crackle, something was up from one of our cables.  (00:00) Intro/Banter (13:07) Philmosophical- Edge of Tomorrow (25:42) What We Liked/Cool Stuff (41:13) Transcendental Analysis

Man, growing up in the 1950's is tough. Especially when your music loving oil business Dad is kind of hard on you sometimes. And- oh hey, you know the sun? Yeah there's the sun. and Saturn.

Bit of a Christmas special for you guys, we're comparing and contrasting the stories of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" in its various (mostly the Muppets) adaptations, and "It's A Wonderful Life." So, enjoy the Christmas season with your families, push a muppet off a window ledge, crash your car into a tree and come back from a supernatural experience being glad that it happened, and maybe give another shovel full of that nice, clean coal to your bookkeepers this year. Merry Christmas! (00:00) Intro/Banter (5:30) The part where we figure out Nathan's microphone isn't turned on (17:00) Philmosophical
