Episode 22 - Thor Four Est Mort



Download the Podcast Here

Join your Two Absolute Bookends in Chapter 18 of The Way The Stars Fall: Rebirth where Tona is recovering from her Rokarii shanking, but doesn’t let that mar her perfect stomach, Jack is keeping her company rather than captaining, Roxy is introduced then killed and Hollister doesn’t stand a chance.

Not much really happens this chapter, which leads us into a reprise of some of our old wonders, such as whose fault the Vortmund fuckup is and what happens when you let loaders fly fighter ships, with us going into newer territory wondering why the Tranquility has straw mattresses bolted to its hull and going on a five minute detour talking about the Marvel cinematic universe.

Episode 21 - Mind Smirks



Download the Podcast Here

Join your Two Absolute Bookends in Chapter 17 of The Way The Stars Fall: Rebirth while Jack leads a team of his trading ship’s crack commandos to rescue the inexplicably not dead Tona from the clutches of a very confused Alien Hive Mind. It’s far less exciting than it sounds.

Herein we discuss the trend of overly humanised hive minded aliens, get a film recommendation from Louis, the etymology of the word ‘horde’ and yet again we end up back in ancient Rome. This time wondering about the historical precedents of bum based manoeuvring.

Episode 20 - Soft Ilmarian Metal Music

After a long hiatus in uploads (which is all entirely on Peter for being distracted and an overall lazy shit) we’re back and looking at chapter 16 of The Way The Stars Fall: Rebirth.

This is our second attempt at recording this episode, and our frayed nerves do start to show as this fairly uneventful chapter leads us into talking about gambling for space porn, Hollister’s hypothetical murder spree and plans to get into Jack’s pants, ideas for other podcasts and musings on what constitutes a face.

Episode 19 - The Amazing 'Pfts'



Download the Podcast Here

This week your two bookends find themselves again on the Vortmund with Tona looking at the alien egg.

It hatches, everybody dies and Tona does everything wrong that she possible could.

With that in mind, let me leave you with this direct quote from Tona near the close of the chapter:
‘Oh god, I’m dead, it’s got me, I was stupid; I shouldn’t have opened the door, why did I open the door? Why am I not dead yet?’

Why indeed Tona. Why Indeed...

Episode 18 - Romancing the Ton(a)



Download the Podcast Here

This week we’re reading Chapter 14 of TWTSF:R and we mostly spend it with the now captain (shudder) of the Vortmund, Tona, as she mines, romances and touches dusty alien eggs.

Featured this week is lots of complaining about Tona being a captain, the universes weird tech abilities, Jack’s light fitting sabotage and an old timey space miner that Peter found far more entertaining than he should.

What.

WHAT!

Episode 16 - Girder Based Recruitment



Download the Podcast Here

After last week’s throwback, your bookends are finally talking to you from there here and now as they finally get their teeth back into “The Way The Stars Fall: Rebirth”.

It’s good to be back my friends.

Prepare yourselves for steamy love pecks, dreams of a Jack-Insurrectionist duumvirate, complete abandonment of any attempts to describe action sequences and the hasty abortion of this insurrectionist arc before anything had a chance to happen.
