Craig, Ryan, and Todd sit down and ... *kind of* talk about a variety of subjects, including Dr. Strange In the Multiverse of Madness, the upcoming Kenobi series, and sequels. In reality, they just end up using those topics to explore their own psyches for an hour. But that's pretty normal by now.

A lot is made -- rightly! -- about Tolkien's influence on the modern fantasy genre. But as today's guest argues, the influence of RPGs, and therefore video games, should not go underappreciated. Craig and Drew (from the Inking Out Loud podcast) have a conversation with A.P. Canavan, known on YouTube as A Critical Dragon.
