Twin Terrors Macabre Manor of Mead Metal and Mayhem

Welcome back to the Manor and welcome to another exciting anniversary edition as we talk about the 50th anniversary of "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving."  It's short and sweet since we also discussed it a couple years ago (listen in to see which episode that is). Pour yourself a pint and cut yourself a slice of pumpkin pie or perhaps just make some toast and popcorn, and enjoy! Next week's episode is...

Welcome back to the Manor and welcome to another 50th anniversary episode!  This time we talk about doing the Time Warp and how to build a better body.  This year is the 50th anniversary of the stage show "The Rocky Horror Show," not to get confused with its offspring, the movie "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," which celebrates its 50th in two years.   So strap on your tap shoes or pull up your gi...

Welcome back to the Manor!  Spooky season may be over, but we're going to continue semi-spooky things through the year because we didn't have enough time in October!  This week's episode is continuing the Cornetto trilogy with movie two "Hot Fuzz."

Welcome back to more Season of the Witch!  Rather than the song, this time we're talking about Haxan Witchcraft Through the Ages on its 101st anniversary!  Why did we choose 101 instead of 100?  There is a very good reason behind that, based on numerology, phases of the moon, and that we dropped the ball on it last year. But this year we're getting into witches!  Pour your favorite potion and enjo...

Welcome back to more Halloween spookiness at the Manor!  This episode we talk about that most glorious of folk horror movie's "The Wicker Man."  No, not the cheese "not the bees!" but the most excellent version from 1973 with Sir Christopher Lee.  We talk about its history, filming, plot, influence, and much more! So grab your pint and pipe, get ready to dance with the landlord's daughter, and enj...

Welcome back to more spooky season gruesomeness at the Manor!  Pour yourself a pint or a wee dram and join us as we discuss the excellent folk horror novel "Harvest Home" by Thomas Tryon on its 50th anniversary.  We also briefly discuss its television mini-series and James also talks about being a pub ghost.  Enjoy the spookiness! This week's main Friday episode is on the black shuck ghostly dog!...

Welcome back to more Halloween, spooky fun at the Manor!  Today's episode gets into "The Exorcist," for its 50th anniversary.  Pour a pint and listen in as we discuss the background, as well as talking about why it's still one of the creepiest movies for us both!

Welcome back to the Manor and welcome back to Spooky Season!  It's October Country time again and we're starting our usual Halloween blitzkrieg with one we've been saying we'd eventually discuss and, well, here it is!  Donovan's Season of the Witch!  It's own history and covers we enjoy.  We hope you enjoy this episode even 10% of how much we enjoy this song, because we enjoy it that much. Pour a...

Welcome back to the Manor and welcome to a con (Kahhhhhnnn!) episode!  Jody finally made it to Gen Con this year and James had made it a couple times just before the plague years, so we discuss how awesome it is.  There'll be another short one out on it soon, involving beer, but for now we'll talk about our memories and favorite bits of it.   Next week's episode is... well look at the calendar, it...

Welcome back to the Manor!  We're celebrating Hobbit Day as usual, with a long episode and with very little editing!  It's just how we like to celebrate both Hobbit Day and our anniversary!   Pour a pint, light your pipe, pull up a barstool and enjoy!

Welcome back to the Manor!  We're continuing our ramp up to Dungeons and Dragons' 50th anniversary next year with our own favorite things, with this episode focusing on our favorite modules.  What's a module? Nothing!  What's a module with you! But in case you didn't know, those are pre-written adventures that are put out for Dungeon Masters to run for their Player Characters without having to des...

Welcome back to the Manor and welcome back to another conspiracy theories episode!  We know it's been a while since the last conspiracy theories episode (episode 49, back in July 2019), but that's because the MIB told us to wait a few years for the next one, to let things die down a bit. This time, we're discussing the Phantom Timeline theory that states we're actually not in the 2000s at all (whi...

Welcome back to the Manor!  Occasionally we get curmudgeonly here at the Manor (stop snickering!) and this time it's on what we dislike when bars/pubs/restaurants/etc. do it.  So if you want to really know how to succeed in the pub industry, listen to this episode!  MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Also, there's a bit of how to set up games in a pub. Next week's episode is our second episode on conspiracy theorie...

Welcome back to the Manor!  We heard your clamoring for more Zeppelin, but it's not quite time for Physical Graffiti, so instead we're going to talk about post-Zep when they were pre-Zep!  Wait... what?  So before we really knew who Zeppelin was, even if we knew Zeppelin, we were of an age where we were just as likely to hear the band members' follow-up music, such as Page's The Firm and Plant's s...

Welcome back to our pre-50th anniversary blitzkrieg of D&D episodes, where we talk about our own personal thoughts and likes of various things before getting into some history and context next year for the 50th!  This time around, we're talking about our favorite editions (for example, basic Red Box, 1st, 5th), campaign settings (such as Mystara and Greyhawk), and alignments (chaotic good all...

Welcome back to the Manor!  Join us as we lay out our Tarot cards to do some spooky readings!  If we're accurate, hopefully it won't actually be all that spooky.  This episode, we're doing more background to get us to Jimmy Page and the occult, with the history of the Tarot.  Join us as we talk about the first known decks, get deep into the history of the best known Rider-Waite-Smith deck, talk ab...

Welcome back the Manor and welcome to another episode on that man of mystery, martinis, and Her Majesty's secret service (although at the next movie, it'll have to he His Majesty's won't it?), James Bond!  Bum duhduhduh dum dum dum... bweeeeelowwww!    This time we discuss our favorite Bond portrayals, our favorite Bond films, and even get into some villainy!   Get your Vesper martini or your stin...

Strap on to a Mi-go and let's get into background on Carcosa, that most vile of planets that has given us some decent short stories and the future King in Yellow (but seriously, the food and drink are fantastic!). We'll get into where it is and who from Earth "might" have owned it.  There are probably also stories of alcohol and prostitutes that would make me uncomfortable, but then don't sit ther...
