The Auxiliary Unplugged

Episode 24- Old Movie Shotgunning

We sit down and talk about some of our favorite older movies. What each person defines as old is personal, and try not to be rude about it.
Also Yojimbo is a wonderful movie, Kurosawa knows how to frame a picture.

Cons. The good, the bad, the really good and the really bad. Nerds gathering in the before time and currently. And anyone who's been to one has stories about them.

Episode 21- Building Setting Together

We sit down and work through a potential setting, why it's interesting, and what to do about it.
Actually not that many tangents! This is a strange new world, I don't know if we can stay here and fill our lungs with this wild air.

Episode 20- Settings We Love

This should have been about all of the settings we love, and why we love them. Just a broad overview. I swear we'll not have star wars in an episode eventually.

Episode 19- Atlantis

Our four boys talk about Atlantis. Where it came from. Where it is. Who it is. All based in rocks and pottery, weirdly. Only a quick casual mention of RIFTS, thankfully.

We chat about various fun, and semi-real conspiracies. We were all tired from work, so it's a much more relaxed and sleepy of an episode.
