For this episode, the nexus of Ralph Bakshi's rotoscoped animation and Frank Frazetta's musclepulp art: the 1983 animated cult classic Fire and Ice. Ready your axe, flee the glaciers, and dig the ride.
This episode covers what's in UJ 34, and also includes advice on how to submit to Unnamed Journal. Thanks to author Annalise Grey, whose poem "True Story" appears in this issue.

What makes a bad story? What makes a bad story comedy gold? And should we grade on a curve? Listen as we challenge the status of "Eye of Argon" as the Worst Fantasy Story Ever, mostly by looking at the backstory of its creation, and how it got passed around the sci-fi community.
Lo! We brave band of threesome plumb the fetid depths of the most deeping, dreadful tale of Fantasy Fiction? Join our savage spelunking of this gruesome grimoire, The Eye of Argon!
The continuation of our Transformers discussion and some shameless shilling of the Latest edition of Unnamed Journal. Of course, if you're a Patron, you already have that.
A bifurcated episode! We start talking about The Transformers, and at some point during the discussion, something got bumped and the recording stopped. This is the part before the bump.
Part 2 coming soon!
We sat down to discuss fantasy author Neil Gaiman, and we recorded nearly two hours worth of material. This bit here is the part about Neil Gaiman. The rest of the madness will become a bonus episode, here shortly. Enjoy!
