Episode 133 - The Legacy of Warcraft

November 8, 2019

Today we take one of our rare deep dives into a nerdy topic. This time: Warcraft! We talk about the long running video game series, from its humble beginnings as Warcraft: Orcs and Humans, to the mammoth World of Warcraft, books, movies and Hearthstone.

We’ll also cover the recent announcements from Blizzcon 2019 about Diablo 4, Overwatch 2 and the new World of Warcraft expansion. Plus a major announcement from Disney about the future of Star Wars!

We’ll also have a ridiculous round of Would You Rather, some Radical Recommends, and Trailer Reviews of Charlie’s Angels, 3022, The Grudge, and The Invisible Man.

Intro music provided with permission by the awesome Jimmy Hinson of Big Giant Circles. Find him Bandcamp or iTunes!
