#127 - Todd & Preston's Drive-Time Discussion Hour (Topics: syndication, space opera, dangerous technologies, guilty pleasures, Dungeons & Dragons, and much more...)

Discerning Geeks Portal

Welcome to Todd & Preston's Drive-Time Discussion Hour. Due to Andruw having a scheduling conflict and Dave falling asleep before we were supposed to record, Todd & Preston ended up improvising their own two-person episode. As Preston put it, this is like the discussion we might have during a car ride. So, the runtime is over an hour, and the car ride is imaginary, but the conversation is real.

To give a little structure to the conversation, Todd & Preston asked each other the following main questions.

- What favorite TV shows have we found via syndication?

- What kinds of movies & TV shows have we enjoyed in the space opera sub-genre of sci-fi?

- What technology would we *not* want humanity to have?

- Do we have any guilty pleasures?

- What kinds of classes have we played or want to play in Dungeons & Dragons?

But, thanks to a lot of tangents, comparisons, and other references, many geeky things were mentioned, including (but not limited to)...

Slide over the pile of jackets and cloth grocery bags in the back seat, climb in, and listen now to find out which roads Todd & Preston traverse in this special improvised Sunday drive down a...highway of geekiness...(?!?)... (Ooh, sorry, typing this at a late hour after two glasses of wine is causing the whole drive-time discussion metaphor to fall apart. You get the idea. We talk about stuff. Have a listen.)

And, stay tuned for several installments of Star Wars related discussions. First will be one more "lost/unearthed" episode...a general Star Wars discussion recorded back in late 2020, never published, and now ready to release into Wild Space. After that, we will release the topic of Favorite & Least Favorite Star Wars Movies, which is finally recorded and long enough to be split into two installments...our first two-parter since September 2021. Just for a little shameless self-promotion, our previous multi-parters were...

- #023 & #031 - "The Adjustment Bureau" and "Adjustment Bureau Overflow - The Works of Philip K. Dick"

- #034, #035, and #036 - Dungeons & Dragons One-Shot Radio Play, Parts 1 to 3

- #037 & #039 - Favorite Sci-Fi TV Characters, Parts 1 & 2

- #044 & #045 - Best & Worst TV Series Finales, Parts 1 & 2
