For part 2 of #RoadToMTAC2019, Connor Miller and Kirk Griffin join the podcast to discuss digital gaming. First, we talk about how digital gaming is so deeply embedded into the Con scene, especially MTAC. Then, we do something a little new to the show: We take turns pulling topics out of a hat. Some of those topics include our favorite console/PC games of 2018 and the future of gaming (i.e. VR/AR).
It. Has. Begun. #RoadToMTAC2019 is officially underway, with Part 1: Dungeons & Dragons! David is joined by alumni of the show Dylan Kline (Ep. #12) and Brooke Foriest (Ep. #15), as well as GG newcomers Matt Foriest (husband to Brooke) and Dwayne Long (friend to David), who are all avid fans and active players of D&D.
We all had a fantastic time kicking off this series by discussing what makes analog/tabletop gaming (D&D in particular) so much fun, and how over recent years it has become more mainstream than ever.
Please take the time to support our lovely guests by giving them a follow on their respective social media platforms, and we will see you all soon for Part 2: Digital Gaming!

We are back! From the bottom of our geeky hearts, we apologize for our prolonged absence, but we are now back in action!
For the latest episode of the podcast, we sit down with Jared Rigsby for part 1 of “The Sequel Was Better”. We talk about certain instances in cinematic history where, you guessed it, the sequel was better than the original. Of course, much to do with movies is subjective, so we do the best we can to discuss films where the overwhelming majority of movie-goers think the sophomore attempt showed an increase in quality.

We’re back! In today’s episode, my good friends Mark Conwell and Jared Rigsby join me to discuss the much anticipated Avengers: Inifnity War. I’ll go ahead and throw this out there: **SPOILER ALERT AHEAD!**
During segment one, we each talk about our overall thoughts and feelings on the film, what we did/didn’t like about it, and give a letter grade for the movie.
During segment two, we had more of a free-wheeling discussion about Inifinity War. We touched on a few things such as what we thought about Thanos as a villian, how well the Russo brothers balanced out the huge ensemble cast, and our favorite fight scenes.
And for segment three, we threw out some of our predictions on where we think the MCU will go from here, how they’ll wrap up Phase 3, and what we might expect after that.

In our very first episode of 2018, David sits down to talk with James David West and Erin Greene, local actors in the Nashville area. They give us a rundown of what it’s like to be a small-time actor/actress. They tell us how they got their start in the local acting world, and some of the productions they’ve recently been in. Then we dive a little deeper to see what kind of challenges they’ve faced in the acting world, and learn a little bit about their “process” (i.e. how they get ready for a new role). Finally, they dish out a few pearls of wisdom to you listeners that might be interested in or currently pursuing a career in acting.
