Finding Atoria
Satanic Panic and Gotta Make That Castle Payment
Tori is in the moderator seat this episode. Arcadia leads off with the Satanic Panic and how D&D got roped into that mishigas. The Satanic Panic took over the US, and D&D was primed to get brought into it. Due to being started at the beginning of the latchkey kids, parents worried about those kids who were without parents constantly being available. The most ironic part of that piece of the story is that those kids getting into D&D, were the good kids. TSR did itself no favors with the book covers either. D&D was a haven for the outcast kids, a place to belong even when they didn’t fit those socially acceptable norms. Malcolm brings us back from the break with the 4 Dungeons&Dragons movies. He discusses the good, the mostly bad, and the call back for the fans. While at least three of those movies were decidedly bad, Honor Among Thieves brings it back into the light. The movie gives so many nods to fans that it’s an amazing Easter Egg Hunt.
