“I had an idea a long time ago for a God Emporer of Dune thing” - Anthony. PLEASE DO IT

Nolan

“Specificity”

Hannibal Boyd

When I was 5 I watched Terminator 2 and Heavy Metal on a loop (they were both on the same VHS). Definitely formative. Had nightmares about the zombies on the WW2 B-52 for a long time.

Tony Loch

I have that same mothman Denny’s sticker

Emilie Griffin

XD I'm so glad I wasn't the only one absolutely traumatized by Mars Attacks! When my brother and I were like 5 and 6, we started watching it on TV one night, and didn't get past someone getting their finger bit off.. we popped Oliver and company into the vcr so quick after that. In my head I know it's not as scary as we thought, but I have yet to revisit it all these years later

Krissy Beck

Oh my god I also saw Mars Attacks! too young. 6 years old in theaters and it ruined me for anything even slightly creepy or unsettling to this day

Adam M.

As a West Virginian, I have to recommend you come visit the Mothman museum and touch the Mothman statue...if you look up some images, you'll know why. 😉

Adam M.

I'll have to check this out. I've run rpg sessions with kids before for work, and it's fun to see different types of games and what age range they're suitable for.

Palindromedar

Omg, I watched all kinds of horror movies as a kid and I was absolutely fine but Mars Attacks is still the only movie that really fucked me up. I had nightmares of aliens switching my head with a dog head for years. I feel so seen rn.

Michael

Gah, I saw Mars Attacks as a kid and it messed me up too! 😰

Aislinn

Obviously beef with the adventure zone. You already have the sound clips

Rizzy Pop

So I paused this to look up the Trenody to the victims of Hiroshima and in 2 seconds I was like welp I have more anxiety now.

Andrew Shanks

Now I want the multi-layer ratatouille rpg where one player is the human, one the rat, one the flea, one the bacterium. And the human is a mecha pilot. It could be called rat-ryoshka.

bean cans

Hbvvvvugh uhh gvv gc gghvuhv vvvv ᚹ vvvv vvvv ᚹ ᚹ vhvvvvvyve

Kalliope

Sounds like Matt should play kids on bikes

Worlds Nerdiest Strongman

Freddie, the cyberpunk rpg I’ve played is Cyberpunk Red and it’s an amazing system

Maximum S Labrador

Beef!!????

Teresa Marcus

What submarine module are they talking about? I’ve tried looking it up but I don’t think I’m searching the correct terms.

Wholesomethot

I’m writing the script for Beef. A rom com about to battle rappers who have never felt at home until they start beefing. After all family’s fight!

Liz from Time to Die! A DnD Podcast

My vote for your podcast beef is the Beef and Dairy Network, your energy would destroy them

Kawboolay

The only movie I could think about influencing my life is Mars Attacks!!! It messed me up SO bad when I was young! It’s instilled a serious fear of aliens. I can’t even watch it as adult even though I know it s a comedy. I have PTSD with that thing it FREAKS me out. My fear of aliens stems from that movie which is crazy.

pluto .ᐣ

listening to this right now and beth's idea with players "ratatouille"ing around a person reminds me of the Everyone is John rpg and i think she might have fun DMing a oneshot of that!

Benjamin Barnes

The fact that nobody even pity laughed at "Peach the Controversy" is wild to me, Will I hear you and it made me ugly laugh both times while I was listening

Tiff Rube

I was 10 years old and home alone when I watched CandyMan. That movie scared the holy hell out of me.

Julie McIntosh

THE BOOK: David Halberstam, The 1950's. They talk how it's a great book in the second Peach Pit EP. Enjoy!

Batsy Boi

Omg I hard relate to seeing Mars Attacks too young. I was 8 and i watched with my parents at home, but then I had to go to bed with the lights on and a parent in the room with me until I fell asleep, nightmares for weeks

Sunny G.

I was 7 and my mom took me to see The Incredible Hulk in theaters and I got so scared when the mutated dogs attacked that I hid my head in my mom's purse for the rest of the movie

Tori Wenzel

I can’t be the only one hoping this season delves into a ton of different types of cryptids

just a random polish guy

Just wondering what is Tony's favourite car?

Purpsikins

I was so excited when will mentioned Del Shannon

Dakota jack

Wait…. Matt is cousins with the guy from the beginning of ace ventura?

John Dondero

Hilariously say that i'm really working on one page ttrpg

Lee M.

Ernest Scared Stupid messed me up. The goblins were so disgusting that I apparently threw up in the theater.

Broke Shimmy

Damn, sourcefed mentioned in 2024?

Broke Shimmy

I had the same bumper sticker as Beth! I recently replaced it with "bigfoot is gay and I helped him commit tax fraud"

Maria M

Big moment of appreciation for Will and his research 👍

lidoodle

If yall find out let me knowww

Femchad

Enemies to lovers rap beef was a Boondocks episode. Lol

Cassie Muldrow

I'm a big white wolf fan- because I think the d10 system is the easiest to use and understand. I felt like it moved the story along the fastest.

Josh Christopher

Are you me because this exact thing happened to me too lol. My grandma took me to McDonald’s while all the other cousins stayed at the theater with my grandpa.

Josh Christopher

I was 6 when I saw The Lost World in theaters and I thought that Richard Schiff was actually ripped in half and anything else the actor was in after was a robot. Also, when I was a kid my family took a trip to Seattle and we ate dinner at Planet Hollywood one night. In the lobby they had a realistic statue of the Terminator with his skin tearing off in places and it scared the fuck out of me.

Adam Souza

The movie that messed me up was not even a horror movie, it was Muppet Treasure Island. I was 5, and it was gonna be my first movie, and the talking skulls in the opening credits freaked me out so bad I had to leave the theater. haha

gundamfan

Matt's views on rpgs explain so much about his playstyle. Loving this season's start and I'm really glad that the group is enjoying call of cthulu. It's a great fit for them.

Rae C

Aging myself literally, but I saw it in theaters at age 10 and I had nightmares for years.

Drednot

No point on starting a podcast beef, no matter who it is they'll be mocked for punching down if they respond

Alex Annje

The outro kinda makes me think of Momoe Yamaguchi, especially the instrumental parts.

Everett Gaspar

For me that movie question was the Austin powers trilogy when I was like 3😭 My sense of humour has never recovered

Everett Gaspar

You guys should beef with hello from the magic tavern.

Coda (in sensitivity training) Blaze

Agreed.

Anthony Meglemre

I agree I gotta see this documentary

PaperWario

I need to know what MothMan documentary Beth and Will were talking about

Jason Melton

If you wanna ratatouille, have the whole world controlled by rats except for the PC's and they're trying to hide it

Madi Persinger

Matt’s galaxy brain take about how all TTRPG systems fundamentally are the same is amazing

Joe F

lol Beef with adventure zone they also go the comedy “d and d route”

Addi Penry

Literally scouring the comments for exactly this lol

Quantum OFZENTRIX

but it doesn't feel fun as a dm either, i've been on both sides trying this and it often just left me feeling unsatisfied. if it's good for the daddies or other people that's fine, don't want to knock peoples preference. just not for me

Westley Penland

Matt: my parents took my siblings and I with them to see Batman Returns when I was 6 as well and I had a similar experience rewatching it.

Jennifer Helm

Matt Gourley would fit right in and clash in all the right places. Underrated but really good call

kt

Freddie: I had the same experience except it was completely different and I wasn’t upset at all

M W

Oh wait was that Matt who said that? Idk 2+ seasons and I still can't tell them apart 😂

M W

Okay Will I love/hate your All RPGs Are the Same take- please play a Powered by the Apocalypse game though, it would honestly be a really good fit for the podcast too

Adam Burt

My big formative films that were both two early were Jurassic Park when I was 3 (my first film in a cinema) and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert around 10 (which is wild to me that this was kind of a family film, yet my parents were kinda strict on what I could watch otherwise).

Nexas

I really loved to hear that this season had pre-reading assigned by Will. For some reason that makes it so much better?

Luna Luna

Y’all should start beef with The Adventure Zone. From looking up to them to looking down at them

Pidgey koto

Beef with Dimension 20. I just started watching Freddie on their Mentopolis campaign so that popped into my head immediately & I neeeed it lol

Scoutmaster Denny

I was the same age when I watched Alien and it was my favorite movie series, but it gave me a lot of nightmares 😹

Logan @ Tier 1 Tabletop

Anyone know which Mothman doc Beth is referring to? I’ve got so much time for crytpid docs

Eeve

Im pretty sure housewives back then were on a ton of drugs. I definitely read Beth's character that way

Xan Constantino

somehow i got 13 minutes into this episode before i realized it was the episode discussion 😂

Jake Pritchard

MATT'S COUSIN IS LEONARD SMALLS???

Fredrik Lahti

I need to find this mothman documentary, help please!

YoMomma_KnowsBerry

Forehead fables be funny to go at.

Freya Hogarth

Correction, Mothman is trans, the babadook is gay.

Hampus Siöland

Ok but the Tolkien stuff realy struck a nerve with me and I agree with Matt. I've been thinking for years that it would be so tight to watch like a tv mini-series just about life in the Shire (sort of similar to things like From Lark Rise to Candleford), where all of the conflict is centered around rural life and everyday complications. Also it would be so cool to hear y'all do a DnD-thing where you play as orcs. Doesn't have to be connected to the plot of the books in any way, but just to be o that world.

Taylor von Sydow

The amount of research Will did is like, mind blowing.. like I could never💀💀

Alex Skel

Matt’s “Roll a dice when they do something you disagree with” needs to be on a shirt or a pin or something please

Invader Jimm

As a Point Pleasant native, I'm so happy to hear my monster getting a big role in my favorite podcast!

Benjamin D Horning

The Alien RPG has some mechanics that really brought the genre to life for me. Thoroughly enjoyed a recent one-shot.

Benjamin D Horning

I second this - agree about it being both problematic and an awesome concept for a game. The other game this brought to mind is "Better Angels" by Greg Stolze. You play a superhero/supervillain with powers begotten by a demon, and each person ALSO plays the demon for the person next to them. Probably too crunchy for this group, but has a similar dynamic to what Beth was asking for.

Christian Parr

Dude-a where’sa may bike? 🤌

Benjamin P Parson Gomberg

He’ll become what’s known as a Domewalker, with a foot in both worlds

Frankie Frank

The game Beth needs to play for Ratatouille vibes is a reskinned “Everyone is John” (yes, I know the original is v problematic, but reskinning it to be about demon possession or multiple rats trying to control one human dials that all the way back)

Bardy B

The fall off needs to be studied how was this only 40 minutes isn't this your job the other 2 intros were 2 hours ish this ones not even one hour

JD Glatting

I’m ready for extremely niche Passion Pit references this season 👀

Derek Kupper

I need Dadowrun to happen right freaking now. Shadowrun is my favorite setting and I need the Daddies in it.

Daniel Weber

I saw the ring at an extremely young age and I was terrified to watch VHS movies alone for far too many years.

CmdrbladeandEmberKnight

I saw War of the Worlds when I was 5 and that car scene freaked me out so much

Jacob B.

The daddies on These Those Stars of Space has potential...

Michael Miller

I think Matt would really enjoy Fiasco.

FriesischeKuh

My brother and I had to be carried out of the theater crying from Mars Attacks haha

Patrick Morris

Supposedly they have done a one shot with kids on bikes but I think it's one of the MBICs

Patrick Morris

Yeah but the trick is as a DM you don't let your players know that's what's happening

Michael Miller

The best TTRPG's have rules and mechanics that enforce the setting and themes of the RPG. Dread has a legally distinct from Jenga tower that literally builds tension as the story progresses and actions make it less stable. The Modiphius Star Treck game has a mechanic that rewards the crew everytime someone succeeds at a task with a pool of resources, so it encourages the crew to work in there specialty (conveniently color coded, thanks Star Treck) to succeed as the best Starfleet has to offer. Apocalypse World is a gritty post-apocalyptic world, so the dice mechanics are weighted toward success but at a cost. But yes there are a lot of generic systems out there too, but that's why I personally like to find ones that lean into the setting/tone.

Patrick Morris

I also like not knowing the rules for this system so I am never back seat GMing so I can just enjoy the podcast

the lubricated eldritch rat

still dying for a star trek one shot or something

Quantum OFZENTRIX

The problem with lying about whether a bad guy is dead yet or not is that it can end up feeling arbitrary, if it was only ever going to end when the gm says then it doesn't matter how often you hit or miss.

Doot Doot

Matt: uhhhh if you think about it, all sports are just completing a task and then being rewarded a point.

joe doe

I loved the first episode it was so unhinged and I loved that shit.

Air

For Matt I would recommend the kids on bikes ttrpg format since it’s just oh your good at this roll a d20 oh your bad roll a d4

Patrick Morris

Beth's idea for ratatouille RPG would be awesome as some sort of mech anime. You're rodents controlling these giant beings and fighting other giant monsters

BT Bishop

When I was about five I somehow managed to see the ending of The Fly. That was not a good experience for me.

Moosh Munky

Season 4: Shadowrun/Cyberpunk setting where the great great great great great great grandkids of the season 1 characters resurrect them in new bodies to battle the reawoken Dudeler/Doodler (just realized I’ve never seen this in text lol)

Quantum OFZENTRIX

Not even listened yet ,but Emily could kick Freddy s ass!😁

Darryl Holiday II

Beth created a game right there. That's an interesting one pager. Slap some die mechanics in there and done! Wow!

Derek Kupper

NADDPOP vs DADDIES. I’m all in. I want Emily and Freddie throwing down while Murph and Matt just commiserate.

The Wizard Shield

I feel this so hard. Their vibes are good when they’re having a good time. They just need to find what they find fun.

Braden Ingraham

I was actually so surprised, when I heard the concept I was like man this is gonna be tough but the. I loved this first episode!

Samantha Mann

But wait, will Freddie have to choose sides since he did a D20 miniseries???

Zack Bochman

I watch "It" and "Darkness Falls" when I was like 4. I was petrified of clowns until I was like 20, and I slept with the light on until I was like 12.

Darryl Holiday II

Two things, one Cannibas said Eminem got so in his head that he started thinking every lyric was about him and had a mini meltdown in Amsterdam. Also I feel like Jay Z and Nas made up after their beef and became working friends.

Darryl Holiday II

Friends at the Table. Just cause I think they are probably the nicest people.

Jason E

Holy shit the ratatouille universe but with a large group where 2 players are paired together. Imagine Freddy being able to overrule and control what Matt does if he wants

BS

People say that but they still get 500k+ views an episode.

BS

Completely disagree with Matt on RPGs but I can see why he has the view he does and is right for their playstyle. When I tell people about the pod I don't call it a dnd podcast I call it fantasy improv because they use dnd on a very surface level. But if you play RPGs and like mechanics and the restrictions that brings, rpg systems are very different oh also sleepy Hollow fucked me up as a kid. I had my first existential crisis and broke down crying freaking about not wanting to die. It was just me and my dad and he was not prepared to handle that lol

Jassims !

I would have sworn that this was going to be called “Keen Talk”

Jake Letourneau

I’d love them to play the Fallout TTRPG module! Their chaotic energy fits so well in that universe!

Elio Cury Benazzi

As a board gamer I deeply understand Matt's take on RPG rules lol

The Dooker

I felt that "Mars Attacks being scary as kid". I remember being so upset Michael J Fox dies.

Bishibosh44

Anthony, are you pulling a Hidetaka Miyazaki and putting your kinks into your characters? It's OK. You can tell us. I'll only bully you a bit ;)

streetdreams

Oh man, I've been meaning to try that one!!! Still on my list! 💪

NaterTot

This is exactly why I love things like Mork Borg, just give me a cool setting with rules that hate me and let me create my story around it

Chell-glados@hotmail.com

Omg that lego set is incredible. I want it! 😭

Edward Southmayd

I've been saying this forever! They're Spider-Boys, they rob banks

Jared Crowe

there's a reaallllyyy good DC universe Dnd homebrew that would be cool to see the dads one shot!!!!

Alex Annje

I want a Patreon eps where Matt and Matt Young (Hello from the Magic Tavern) discuss Lego sets!! 🤩

LA Games

I now wanna see matt play cyberpunk red ngl XD

jacey g.

Such an incredible first episode to kick off the season!! I literally listened to it three times. You all are the best storytellers around! And y’all just crack me up constantly—TYSM for all you do!! ❤️ Can’t wait for the next episode!

streetdreams

To me, the joy of trying out other systems comes exactly from using those "annoying complications" around the dice rolls in creative ways. I want to figure out the coolest way to play within the rough guidelines of a system. What's a new and interesting way I can use the Unseen Servant spell? What feats make the most sense for my character in this specific setting? Idk I mean the way they play is essentially that they simply play a story and roll dice to see if they manage certain things and that's fun (I mean I am a Patreon, obviously I enjoy them.) but many people actually do use and enjoy the more specific mechanics and almost more boardgame-y aspects that come along with some ttrpg systems xD

Mr. N. Hacksaw

The wonderful children's RPG "Amazing Tales" is basically Matt's Platonic idea of an RPG: You select 4 skills of your choice, assign a die to each, and you're good to go. Rolling 3 or more is a success, below is a success with a complication. I'm playing it with my 5-year old, and we have invented stories in a plethora of scenarios (sci-fi, pirate, fairy tales), and have even successfully adapted parts of the DnD module "The Wild Beyond The Witchlight". While the system is supposedly "simplified for kids", I honestly think that it contains everything an RPG needs.

Lin Din Bo Bin

I have so many things to say, 1. Will you are doing so good as a DM and Anthony you are doing such a great character, suck it and accept the compliment, 2. Watch this tik tok https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLbNVAej/ This tik tok feels like this show

streetdreams

Man, I kinda hope they will just stick with Call of Cthulhu as a system. They clearly all prefer it and I like the vibe better when they don't constantly shit on the system they're playing in. 😅

Lukas

I'd totally recommend the Stargate TTRPG

Stephen M.

I just want to say that I feel so seen after hearing that the entire group was also traumatized by Mars Attacks. Genuinely left me scarred and ever since thought I was the only one. I appreciate the validation!

Broden Orr

I want the daddies to play vampire: the masquerade so bad, and based on Matt's ttrpg rant, I think he'd like it a lot

Matthew Cagle

Sugesstion for alternate IP to run in D&D: King of the Hill

Jadon Baldwin

My favorite thing is Matt absolutely destroying every TTRPG system at the same time… and being right 🤣

Austin Sharp

Also Mothman is double cheeked up.

Austin Sharp

I live “near” (it’s three hours away) the Mothman museum and it’s pretty fun and weird 10/10 recommend going if you can

Original_Name

Thernody to the Victims of Hiroshima is intense for those of you also curious.

Kuko Creations

I vote we refer to Will as the Stallion Master for the next few episodes, as per Freddie's suggestion. Also, beef with Adventure Zone!

Rogue Diamond

I'll be honest, I want this one page TTRPG you're talking about Matt, please make! :D I will play the hell out of it!

Mallow

No Beth mothman is MY WIFE

Staten Island Jimmy

Yes came here to say magic tavern.

Lewis H

Start some shit with 'DnD is for Nerds'. Those Aussie pricks got it coming. Plus it would be hilarious to hear Beth's Aussie accent pitted against their American ones. Low key, I love those guys too.

MooliciousMD

YAAAS

MooliciousMD

Exactly what I was thinking about the whole time

Jacob B.

I AGREE SO HARD WITH MATT. FIGHT ME.

Alonzo the Bucket_Lord

Matt please check out sourcefed dnd, thats exactly what you described with your rant ttrpg

Sophie Shay

Desperate to know what the mothman documentary that will and beth were talking about is called

Jessica Estep

I think Will and Arnie would become immediate BFFs and Beth, Anthony,and Adal would plot the most insane chaos

Erin Leatherman

He'd go into the Wizard State and Freddie would get PISSED that he can't respond to that. This is a great suggestion!

Just Drago Games YT

OMG are we gonna get a jazz music album 😂

Mark Evans

I think Hello from the Magic Tavern would be a good opponent. I’d love to hear Usidore and Freddie go at it.

Andy Blackaby-Iles

I want Will and Anthony to know i have loved their work since S1 and I think they should both show more pride in their work

Andy Blackaby-Iles

Also that clearly you all like each other and want to make a story. You are my favourite players

Andy Blackaby-Iles

Jason Garrett

Fallout 76 is set in West Va and had a whole event around the mothman.

Rebecca

I hope NPC Beth May exists in Peachyville so she can meet her boyfriend Mothman

Gmork

I think the gang is at its funniest when it's in an environment that that's contrary to their feminist/progressive values, so I've got high hopes for this season.

Stephanie Kendall

Got tickets to the live show on Father’s Day! Will be my first Father’s Day without my dad, and I’ve been wondering how to spend that day. Can’t wait to see the show live!

Angela Shrader

Ya’ll should come to WV to visit the REAL mothman and do a live show.

Dragons Blood

I never new the name of the movie that made it to where i wouldnt be able to watch scary movies again (or if i did, itd be a struggle), and hearing Mars Attacks triggered vivid memories of me watching specific moments of the movie. I was 6 or 7 and it was christmas week

Juliah Fort

As someone who lives in Nebraska, I’m honored to have Mothman here with me

Teagan Turner

“On Peachville” is like a news channel

Creekie05

I have also come to love these after shows? Almost as much as the actual show. I love hearing the thoughts and how you all get to where you end up

Creekie05

Sorry the Rosie riveter for women’s empowerment.

Creekie05

The Rosie riviter

Edward Sullivan

There's a dating sim for the two uncles in gravity falls where a plot is mothman owes a guy money

gingerking243

Start it with Conan O'Brien because he won't understand, but his co&host Matt Gourly will

Carmen Sterk

The fact that mothman was a spur of the moment decision by Will is blowing my mind. Amazing! More cryptids please!

A Schroeder

Go ham against Dimension 20 and infiltrate the dome

Jinxy_bean58

I’m really hoping to see more criptids throughout the season! I literally started jumping with joy after hearing moth man in the episode

Lauren

I’ll pay more money to have a dune rpg playthrough pleaseeee

Walter Meyer

Ok, the ratatouille buuuut, in the style of among us and you have to sus out the ratatouille'd

Z C

To the tune “Peaches” by Presidents of the United States of America Mothmen come for my can, their curled tongue has a plan, in my factory downtown If I had my lil way, it’d eat my asshole everyday, sun-soaking’ bulges in the shade

Bryan May

That take out though! Well done beth!

FusRohNahSon

I respect Matts opinion about ttrpg and dnd but id respect it more if he ever actually tried the rules and spells

Nayfo

"I just blitzed through all that jizz"

Ashley Marion Biehl

Yeah definitely listen to Penderecki if you need nightmare fuel

FusRohNahSon

Trudy trout is going to be Beths magnum opus

Jason Todd

Yes fight the rules!!!!!!!!!

Jason Todd

Start beef with dimension 20

Mr. Squiggles

cant wait for mothman to introduce his buddy indrid cold in the next episode

Luke 'Punquillity' Elias

I wanna see these guys get at some Monsterhearts or Die or.. Holy shit Paranoia would be a blast.

smol lapdog

i stopped at work just for this

RayneCloudMC

Omg I got mentioned in the pitch pit,,, Tony collette #1 fan…

Luke 'Punquillity' Elias

Lmao what a bad take on systems Matt but I love the guts to say it. XD

Christopher Anselmi

Go for dimension 20. I wanna see Brennan in the "booth" 🤪

Christopher Anselmi

I'd say critical role but their fandom is beefing with them pretty hard already so.

Bret Schulte

They could beef with The Flop House who also have a show about the show called The Peach Pit.

SonOfABoofo

They should make beef with both naddpod and critical roll at the same time. Then after they resolve it they do a DM swap and in order to understand the crossover people have to listen to all three podcasts and it gives buissness to all three podcasts.

Emily Hassett

Came here to say this!

Nate

You need to start beef with the Christerion Collection.

Widget

ah peach pit, my favorite band from Vancouver

Barf Drinker

Look absolutely no shade on Anthony. I can not stand his new characters voice though, it’s gonna drive me nuts this season, I hope the cadence evolves 🙏
