Grab your web-shooters and lock the door, it’s time for a full-spoiler deep dive! This week, Daniel and Krebs head back to New York City to review the massive summer blockbuster, Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
First up, we tackle the jaw-dropping box office run. We talk about how Spidey completely shattered records, crushing $2 billion worldwide to become one of the highest-grossing films of all time. Is ”superhero fatigue” officially dead, or is Tom Holland’s Peter Parker just immune?
Then, we flip the SPOILER WARNING switch to ON as we break down the entire plot. We delve into Peter’s isolated life after Doctor Strange’s spell, the emotional weight of seeing his old friends move on without him, and the terrifying unseen threat terrorizing the city. Plus, we give our thoughts on Peter’s intense physical evolution, from organic web-shooters to full-on sensory overloads, and what those massive third-act twists mean for the future of the MCU!

Welcome back to Dungeon Crawlers, where this week we are joined by legendary creators Tracy and Laura Hickman to recap an unforgettable adventure on the high seas. We dive into the "magical" moment when the creators of Castle Ravenloft saw their iconic fortress brought to life as a massive, seven-and-a-half-foot-tall 3D printed masterpiece. From navigating the smooth waters of the Pacific to disassembling the vertical castle floor-by-floor for a one-of-a-kind gaming session, Tracy and Laura share what it was like to run a completely original, "perfect" adventure for a small group of lucky players.

But the adventure doesn't stop there! We have a massive announcement for our listeners: The Vampire Cruise is returning. Get the inside scoop on the upcoming launch, including how you can join the Hickmans for personalized itineraries, tabletop marathons featuring favorites like Dune Imperium and Nemesis, and even more immersive storytelling.
