This month's patron-exclusive episode brings us back to the realm of hot (or lukewarm) takes on popular media! Daniel presents his doctoral thesis on Masters of the Universe, we overanalyze Dragonheart through socioeconomic lenses, and we talk about the nature of art itself. Plus: Queen's dope movie theme songs, subtle worldbuilding techniques, historical propaganda, escapist wish fulfillment, Rob's celebrity face blindness, and so much more!

| Episode 155: A Child-God’s Playthings (Land of a Thousand Starborn Part 1) | 21 Jul 2022 | 00:43:15 | |
This week, a prompt from a new listener brings us to a flat disk-like earth centered around a rising and falling sun (which is definitely not a kangaroo, despite its bouncy nature). Join us as we discuss discarded creations, gravitational implications, and Daniel's truly unfortunate luck with video games.
