Dissecting Worlds: Series 2 Episode 6 - Mass Effect
Episode Duration: 1 hour, 3 minutes and 39 secondsDissecting Worlds turns it's attention to the world of Computer Games and in particular Mass Effect (thanks Wedgedoc for the suggestion.) On the way they discuss the many influences and parallels on Spectres namely James Bond, Wild West Marshals, the operative from Serenity, the Jedi amongst others with nods to Dredd, The Wire, X-files and Mancuso FBI. See the blood boil and the rapiers get drawn at in a sidetrack into Roger Moores period as 007! Wonder at the parallels to the Citadel Council of the UN Secuirty Council pernament members & the Congress System. Gape at the consideration of Computer Games as fiction anyway and how their world building differs from books, flms, comics and between gaming genres. Feedback on the forums for perference but failing that email dissectingworlds@yahoo.co.uk or twitter @clarkythecruel (kehaar) or matt @the Grampus.

Scrolls Middle Earth Special Part 2: Everybody's Tolkien At Me
Episode Duration: 1 hour, 39 minutes and 42 secondsOk, urgent pub visit done and dusted - look I had to get Summer out of the way so Clover could do a skype interview ok... don't you be judging me
Ok, blurb ahoy -
In which the awooga button is tossed on the ground and comprehensively stomped on so that everyone can get comfy and chat about the uber-fantasy that is Lord of the Rings.
Taking our cue from the Festival In The Shire we talk about the great works from all kinds of angles - discussing them in terms scholarly, as fans having a good time sharing our experiences, and as readers just celebrating Middle Earth for it's depth, history and grandeur. We also talk a load of old rot, giggle stupidly, mis-quote, mis-understand and mis-appropriate other peoples thoughts and theories.
But, you know, with style.
It's a monster show, so we've had to cut out the adaptations section just to keep it to a reasonable length. I'm guessing that could make a part 3 all of it's own at some point.

Episode Duration: 1 hour, 8 minutes and 0 secondsIn this spoiler filled outing the Lizard of Leeds & Wirral Seagull get to grips with jolly quidditch sticks, civil war, murder and death. Yes it's the Werner Hertzog banter that is the Potterverse a world of magic, mystery, genocide and govenrment incompetence.

We're looking at Law and Order with particular attention on the Ministry of Magic, Dumbeldore's Army, Order of the Pheonix & You-know-who. This leads us into a merry dance down the First World War, Nazis, the Ulster Defence Association, 2nd Amendment of the US Consitution, the deference between vigilantes & miltia amongst much else. And a hufftastic Quidditch argument. What's not to love? Sit down with your Butterbeer & Chocolate Frogs (or beverage & snacks of choice) and enjoy.
