We're back! We've got a lot to cover since our last episode, including Loki season 2 and the Madame Web trailer, but the movie on everyone's mind right now is The Marvels. It was really not good, but don't let all the M-She-U goblins tell you that it's because its made by and staring women. This was a poorly written movie start to finish and we're here to do a rewrite.

We have a real treat this episode! Artist Richard Whitters has quite the portfolio; working for Wizards of the Coast for 14 years, his work has spanned both Dungeons and Dragons as well as Magic the Gathering, and his art appears in multiple D&D books, AND he did the concept art for the Phyrexian Praetors, including the Mother of Machines herself, Elesh Norn! Now he's taking the plunge and designing his own RPG system and setting called Ruttigers, based off a home-brewed setting he and his friends have been working on for over 30 years! If you love Art, D&D, Magic, TTRPGs or anything nerdy, this episode is for you! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
