Cunk On Life - this just came to Netflix and I highly recommend you watch it. Diane Morgan is brilliant as Philomena Cunk
Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl
A Charlie Brown Christmas - I had never seen this. Everyone is pretty fucking nasty to Charlie Brown and he’s kind of shitty as well.
Muppet Christmas Carol
The Princess Diaries - I had never seen this and Jemma insisted I remedy that
Nate Bargatze: Your Friend
Sweethearts
Austin Powers: Goldmember
Other Stuffs:
Enjoying the new album by The Cure - Songs of a Lost World
Quick read but I was moved by the book Small Things Like These
Played a bunch more Blood on the Clock Tower along with Mastermind, Boop Game (an adorable cat based strategy game) and Crokinole; which I had never heard of but am now deeply enthralled by. I ordered myself my own board so I can get some practice in and then hold a Crokinole tournament
Jemma and I couldn’t make it up to Canada so we spent Christmas in Vermont and visited the town of Woodstock which was particularly charming covered in snow. I had my first maple creamie (not a sex thing) at Woodstock Scoops and I wish it WAS a sex thing. Unbelievably good.
Hello From the Magic Tavern is also performing at Sketchfest (with a very cool special guest) on Sunday January 19th at 7pm. You can buy tickets HERE
Lastly, my sister Sadieh’s incredible play The Cave opens at the end of the month in Chicago at A Red Orchid Theatre! If you’re interested you can get tickets HERE

From JPC:
Hey Riddiots,
Happy January! Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who listened to the show last year. I'm constantly humbled by all of the support that we get, the messages I hear on the voicemail line, the emails, the people who say hey after a Whirled News show in Chicago, the fan mail & gifts that you send to our mailbox, and all of the supportive comments we receive online. You all are truly the best. I also had an absolute blast recording the show and I'm very much looking forward to what we have planned for 2025.

Hey guys - could I get an invite to the Discord? Also happy new year, only been a patron for a little bit but had so many good laughs already
Cory!
Adal should guest on drawfee (drawfeeshow.com) where he can read them riddles and the hosts draw what they think the answers are. I especially think he and Nathan would hit it off because they're both punsters

The concept album for the Odyssey musical was finished last month. Recommend it
Hailing from Smakamuthafukka, WI
If you are willing to make the drive to St. Louis in May, there is a 4 day Board Game Convention (Geekway to the West) in the St. Charles area. One of the events was a crokinole tournament that was a ton of fun. They also had a Boop tourney where I got schooled in the second round by a small child.

Crokinole is fantastic! Look up Windy City Crokinole (Meetup or their own website), they're a welcoming group of folks that host crokinole nights around Chicago and the suburbs. I haven't been to one in a while, I HOPE they're still active
