The guys have one last chat in their Belgariad podcast series, wrapping up with book five, Enchanter's End Game. Joining them through the miracle of Skype recording is Andrew Bayles, a Linguistics grad student from the University of Utah, who comes to teach them all what a true nerd sounds like.

The guys all watched Mythica: A Quest for Heroes, a film by local fantasy studio Arrowstorm Entertainment. Craig really liked it, so he made the others help him review it. The consensus: it's got its shortcomings (which the guys dwell on too much!) but overall very fun, and any one of them would be proud to have their name in the credits. Go to ArrowstormEntertainment.com to purchase and download the movie, and support the third film on kickstarter.

The guys discuss Garion's coming of age--and coming into his inheritance--in the fourth installment of the Belgariad podcast series. We find out who the voice in his head is. Ce'Nedra's innate ability to manipulate comes in real handy. Do any of these characters have free will in this story?

We continue our Silmarillion Podcast series. I drag Ryan back in Middle-earth for a discussion about the tale of Beren and Luthien. Todd joins us in studio, and I also cut from time to time to a chat I had with friend podcast Nick Jeter.

Ryan, Craig, and Todd discuss book 2 of the Belgariad, with a quick appearance from Kenn. The story is starting to heat up, and so is the action. This one is much more violent than the first, and thus much more up Kenn's alley.

Ryan assigns the Legendarium panel to read David Eddings' Belgariad series. This is one of the early(ish) fantasy series that helped set the tone for many of the so-called tropes that have been seen since. But this beautifully written tale does them so well, you'll hardly notice as you start with Garion on his adventure with Belgarath and Polgara.

After some pointless nostalgia about the podcast in general, Ryan and Craig (at about the 9:45 mark) get down to reviewing Jurassic World. The final consensus: THREE-AND-A-HALF OF FOUR SWORDS. And we do all this without many, if any, spoilers. So enjoy, enjoyers.
