Episode 58 – TV Shows That Were Cancelled Too Soon

We all know that feeling.  It starts with the previews and the teasers during re-runs.  That new show, with those actors you like, is about to come to that network you watch.  You can’t wait to tune in, and when you do, it’s one of the greatest things you’ve ever seen.  You’re vested in the story, the characters, everything.  Nothing can possibly get better than this, IT’S AMAZ… WHAT!?!  CANCELLED!?!?!  Join us this week as we reflect and mourn on some of our favorite TV shows that were sent to an early grave by the TV and network execs.  Don’t get too cozy, have a plan B lined up for that time slot, and whatever you do don’t let FOX premiere your as we talk cancelled TV shows on a new episode of Monkey in the Cage.

Episode 31 – Failure in the Geek Game

Being a geek is an investment in time, money, and most importantly interest.  But what happens when the time isn’t available or the interest isn’t there?  With so many things to keep up on, past and present, it can often be difficult to stay on top of what-is-what and to be as informed and exposed as possible.  Join us this week as we reveal some of our personal shortcomings in geekdom.  Whether it’s geek-centric things we flat out don’t enjoy or haven’t had the pleasure of getting our hands on, we all come clean on our holes in the geek game.  Don’t be hatin’, but get your hate-mail ready (and remember to send it to Matt) after this week’s episode of Monkey in the Cage.

Episode 20 – Fantasy Settings

Can you imagine a world where J.R.R. Tolkien never wrote The Lord of the Rings? What would things be like if D&D stood for Deficits & Depressions, where we all played as corporate money-launderers and greasy politicians in the high stakes world of corporate finance?  Thankfully, we don’t have to think of such horrid things!  Join us this week as we discuss the heart and soul of gaming and geekdom, fantasy settings.  Swash your buckles, sheathe your swords, and definitely gird your loins for this week’s discussion, because it’s coming at you like at 10d6 fireball!
