dunceCast Episode 76 – A Blue Herring at the End of Game of Thrones

Posted on by Matthew VanDevander

This week, we might convince you that the end of Game of Thrones isn’t actually the worst thing ever. Hang in there for all the undeserved praise and you may uncover some treasure nestled among the melted steel beams and charred bodies. Naturally there are SPOILERS for the entirety of Game of Thrones, there are no spoilers for anything else, even though we make some oblique references.

dunceCast Episode 73 – The Cold Civil War

Posted on by Matthew VanDevander

Get ready to unsubscribe! In an ill-advised move, the dunces are getting all political this week. So strap yourself in for an avalanche of bullshit. Topics covered include: prounouns, “is God really a bearded man in the sky?”, government corruption, why maybe enduring President Trump is better than the realistic alternative, and delicious authentic Belgian Ale.

So listen in and learn how to get along with each other, in-spite of all our differences. Try to find the humor in it, and you’ll make it out okay, so long as this podcast is not illegal where you live.

dunceCast Episode 71 – Too Dunce to Cast

Posted on by Matthew VanDevander

I decided to dig into the archives to salvage this short but forgotten episode of the dunceCast. It was recorded several months ago, but was deemed unpublishable at the time without severe editing. We were all very VERY drunk, and the audio quality is pretty sub-par, even for us, so I apologize for any tin sounding voices or the meandering nature of our conversation. Still, we do talk a bit about Matthew’s current game, Taiji, we also pontificate on pornography, and opine wildly about a Zelda game we haven’t played (and which had just come out at the time of this recording).

dunceCast Presents: Dissin’ on Dark Souls

Posted on by Matthew VanDevander

In this special podcast, Matthew talks with Kknewkles (from the internet) about how much he (Kknewkles) is enraged by Dark Souls (a game). Is it the most overrated game ever? Is it the most oversold podcast ever? Find out here on this click-baity edition of “dunceCast Presents”

If you haven’t played Dark Souls, we do spoil some things in the game, but to be honest, you probably won’t understand half of what we’re talking about anyway.

dunceCast Episode 70 – Dreamception

Posted on by Matthew VanDevander

After taking a month-long nap, the dunces are not sure if they’re awake or dreaming. But they still convene to record a new episode of the dunceCast. And Matthew, despite being too drunk to pronounce his own name, leads Jamie through the plot of a Christopher Nolan film called INCEPTION as they discuss the details of her first viewing of the film.

Obviously there are spoilers for INCEPTION in the podcast.

dunceCast Episode 69 – Get it?

Posted on by Matthew VanDevander

Once upon a time, in a land where chaos and insanity reigned supreme above all other human values, three dunces set out across a deserted plain following the star which signified the birth of our lord and savior, Jesus Christ. When they arrived at the town of Cleveland, they were dismayed to find that it was not a star at all, but was, in fact, the flickering sign of the downtown Denny’s breakfast all-day restaurant, and the dunces saw it, and said, “aw, what the heck!” And the hash browns were “pretty good.”

In this epistle, the dunces recount their journey from awkward childhood, through awkward adolescence, and onward into awkward adulthood. Please enjoy, and like comment subscribe to my channel, and back the patreon.
