Hello everyone!!

For this chaotic month's HBM we're diving into one of Frank's favourite genres, right back into detective fiction! This time talking about the very weird and very interesting Paradise Killer!

Join us as we discuss the complexities of building a world from scratch, of making a sociologically compelling story, and creating a decent and engaging medium to solve a mystery. All while dealing with the colonial violence and oppression exacted by an even more powerful ruling class!

What kind of detective are we, when we're the supreme elite?

All this and more on this episode! Enjoy!

Hello everyone!!

We kick off September with a very interesting concept episode, as we talk about Tropes, and clichés and archetypes!

A very good time as we consider not just the creation of art, especially literature, but also its very superficial and weak discourse that is mostly upheld by these building blocks of tropes.

We also go over a general engagement with art and the willingness to confront plenty of both good and bad, and even some of our personally most enjoyed and hated tropes!

Enjoy!

Hello everyone!!

This is a big one! We are finally talking about Baldur's Gate 3!

In our longest Left Page and Here Be Media episode to date we dive into many of the complexities involving Dungeons & Dragons, tabletop RPGs, the fantasy problems of "races" and this incredibly interesting and fun game of wish-fulfillment, adventure, and more!

We still have many critiques though, and go into ways this is a remarkable game, but could have been even more engaging and entertaining too.

We are also, of course, joined by Holly! Making this equal parts a serious, critical, and very very fun episode! Enjoy!!

As part of our question of "races" in D&D, check out the following video too:
