    #044: Top of the Pulps

    #044: Top of the Pulps

    As an homage to the spooky fiction that laid the groundwork for the genre work that Your Generals enjoy these days, this week they take a look back to the pulp fiction of the early 1900s. Particularly they have zeroed in on a few stories from three celebrated authors, Clark Ashton Smith, Robert E. Howard, and H. P. Lovecraft. The stories that Zac and Tyler will talk about today are "The Return of the Sorceror", "The Tower of the Elephant", and "The Rats in the Walls" respectively. Come join in as they take a trip back and see how weird things got when three masters of the craft ply their trade. Also with news from The Witcher, Ms. Marvel, and more!

    Zac's Recommendation: Worms of the Earth by Robert E. Howard and Kings of the Night by Robert E. Howard

    Tyler's Recommendation: Solomon Kane

    Season 2, Episode 5: HAGRID NOOOOOO!

    Season 2, Episode 5: HAGRID NOOOOOO!

    This week, we watch Krull (1983) with special guest, Adam Somerfield! 

    A note on the episode, we tried recording a guest long distance for the first time via Discord and Craig and, while we picked Adam up just fine, there were some issues with the audio that was picked up on our end, leaving Crysta's audio clipped and cut off in some areas. We've done the best we can in post-production but it's far from our usual audio quality. We appologize and will continue to do our best to bring you top quality audio production in the future. 

    Now, please enjoy the majesty of Krull
