    Episode 190 - Conan the Barbarian (1982, Satirist reboot)
    Jul 1 2023
    Well folx, this is it, our final episode of Swords & Satire. We have tried so hard, and come so far, but in the end, it doesn’t even matter… No, wait, sorry, don’t know where that Lincoln Park song came from, but have created one more episode to honor how far we have come as a show, and the classic fantasy film that started it all, Conan the Barbarian. This is also in thanks to all of our listeners and patrons, who have supported our show and stuck with us through all of the ups and downs. We hope you enjoy this final episode, and until we meet again, Hail Crom!P.S. Hang in there at the end of the episode to catch our very last skit, a little treat for you as a parting gift from us, the Satirists!

    You may have some perfectly reasonable, perfectly understandable questions about our movie choice for this week. We can hear the masses clamoring to ask us now, with questions like: What does the Babadook have to do with Pride Month? Is demonic possession a regular part of the grieving process? And, why does he wear such a snazzy tophat, and where can I get one? Well, if you are Baba-shook by this film, worry not for we are here to answer all of these questions and more. We also have an important announcement for our listeners, so please make sure to listen to this episode!

    Episode 188 - Cloud Atlas
    Jun 3 2023
    Happy Pride Month everyone! Yay! Time to break out those rainbow bricks you picked up at your local Target and smash bigotry and hate. And it’s also time to celebrate queer joy and happiness! So to celebrate we are covering Cloud Atlas, a film about the complexity of the human condition, how we are all more alike than we are different, and how love is the strongest force in the universe. It’s also created by trans artists, so that’s a win! We hope you enjoy it.

    Satirist Skit - Eragon: The Fat Melts Right Into The Meat
    May 27 2023
    We decided to recreate Jack’s favorite scene from Eragon, the butcher’s shop scene in Eragon’s hometown, but we put our own little zany twist on it. So buckle up and listen in for some slice of life action that is so mundane that it’s funny!

    Episode 187 - Eragon
    May 20 2023
    This week we are talking about Eragon, a coming-of-age fantasy movie about finding yourself and your draconic BFF, written for teenagers, and quite obviously by a teenager. Even though this film has a few key storytelling mistakes, and one glaring oversight regarding problematic dynamics, it is a fun fantasy adventure, based on a young adult novel series. But let’s all be real, everyone secretly wishes for a dragon BFF, right? We’re all familiar with this power fantasy, and sometimes we get exactly what we ask for.

  • Satirist Skit - Reign of Fire: Terrible Storytellers

    Satirist Skit - Reign of Fire: Terrible Storytellers
    May 13 2023
    One of the best scenes from Reign of Fire isn’t when Matthew McConaughey jumps into a dragon’s mouth wielding nothing but an ax, nor is it when Christian Bale attempts to run down a dragon on horseback. No, the best scene is when Bale and Butler recreate Star Wars as a play for the wee ones of their camp, and we have reimagined how that might have gone down a little differently if they had chosen to play out the prequel movies instead of the original trilogy. Enjoy!
