Short Rest: C3 Ep. 64: Fatebringers

Man I just HAD to ask ai to make a picture of that all-star Flintstones cast and I gotta say, I think it's perfect. Tom Hardy seems a better fit than Bautista

Listening to this right when Dave Bautista was announced as the new Kratos but now I'm worried I won't be able to see him as anyone but Fred Flintstone

Perf for relistening at 3am while emergency clearing the drains (London flash flood life 🥰) during lightning and thunderstorm. I’m not here i’m too busy thinking about the great gazoo hating on glen dum dum

i love how emily said how the female cinematic haircut is frowned upon in society and then caldwell gives a core memory of him being speechless by a female cinematic haircut moment as a child lmao just some subtle irony

The Nice Guys 2: We’re the Flinstones Now (Russel Crowe and Ryan Gosling)

Shoutout to Emily for predicting the Flinstones reboot. Unfortunately not the exact cast but the timing was perfection

I’m giving this a re-listen, and can I just say: Caldwell really makes me laugh so often. I have a big thing for cinematic haircuts, and the imagery of 14-year-old Caldwell having to take a lap after seeing the one in FF9 was so funny to me! I also love that Emily pointed out how it’s a trope for a reason, and the flack sometimes received when it’s a woman’s cinematic haircut. Love this crew.

John Cena could be Fred

“I think the time is right for a Flintstones reboot.” Oh they are not aware of the gritty reboot comic books from a couple years ago

Can't believe noone suggested buff Zac Efron as Barney

Anybody else shocked my Emily taking part in flintstone chat??

Emily: “.. yeahh”

https://www.goldradiouk.com/news/music/billy-joel-piano-man-gay-bar-theory/ thought this was interesting and you might too Emily 👍🏼

As a lvl 6-barbarian/3-fighter, with the alert feat, I have a +13 to initiative and life couldn't be better. Rolling into the 30s is fantastic and every fight starts on my terms. For how much of a strategist Emily is, I'm surprised she doesn't care more about initiative

Not sure if I’m hearing this right, but it sounds like Murphy and Sol are unaware that Sol can add his acrobatics bonus to checks to resist being grappled, instead of athletics. If the Bigbys hand tries to grapple him it should at least be a fair fight. Now if they were talking about the Bigby’s shove, then that is a strength check.

I haven’t read it but apparently the Flintstones comic from 2017 is amazing. Like unnecessarily so good

I can’t wait for the next D&D court. I’ve been truly wronged

As someone that also records audio for our sessions, it’s comforting to know that they also rank their clap syncs everytime

John Goodman is absolutely Fred…

Emily’s spot on with Karen Gillian as Wilma. I legit would be on board for a millennial Flintstones reboot with Ryan as Rubble. Hollywood, do the thing!

Jon Hamm would be a perfect Fred to Ryan Gosling’s Barney

I would like to vote for the next Mix Bag to be about you all writing the script for your Flinstones movie!

Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson as Fred and Barney. Could bring some fellow wedding crashers actors with them. 🤷🏾‍♂️

David harbour as Fred.

i think bryce dallas howard for wilma honestly

Everyone i know gets so annoyed when i say “yolk” and pronounce it with the L, but it makes me feel so validated when caldwell says yolked and hits that hard L sound. Because Caldwell could never be wrong🫡

My rose is the Murph for my new username stolen from his recap. Cheers

I’m glad Caldwell used the shell phone charge. I don’t think think the video game mentality of hoarding items is enjoyable to listen to

i honestly really love all of Murphs villains he creates, a lot of unconventional classes. a plus is that all of his female villains are powerful, unflinching, and stoic, while most of the male villains are just pathetic losers.

Completely different vibe, but Gandolfini would’ve been a great Fred

I’m so glad cauldwell brought up ff9. That’s all I thought about with the cinematic hair cut

laughing at the panic that must have gone through Murph's brain at the end there, thinking "Oh no, how long have we been talking about the Flintstones?"

Yas the FF9 reference!! Childhood nostalgia moment

Holy shit. I’ve got it (I promise it’s worth the read): A gritty Flintstones remake with Tom Hardy as Fred and Ryan Gosling as Barney. Think classic hardman hardy and ‘Drive’ Gosling. - Set in an absurdist caveman parallel of 1950s USA peak industrial unionisation movement. - Fred and Barney are initially elected leaders of their newly unionised state slate mining industry, with a hopeful and bright energy to the scenes, but with vaguely ominous undertones. - Problems arise. Slowly the tone shifts. The hopes and ideals the union is built upon slowly degrade under the ever mounting pressure of industry powerhouses. - Inevitability, the fight becomes dirty and criminal. Eventually Fred and Barney are warped away from their family and community values towards a grim and dark life of unseen threats and back alley violence. Can they hold their union, their families, or even themselves together? Or will they become that which they despised and lose everything they loved on the way? DUNDUNDUUNNN - FLINT/STONE - 🤯🤯🤯

Short Rest: Mixed Bag EP 1

We all know Gazoo, Brian

Batista Fred is outstanding

Caldwell can you draw Millennial Fred meeting Boomer Pooh

Anybody else cringe slightly when they kept referencing Nazgûl when talking about what the enemy mounts were like? Like I know it’s small and nitpicky, but the Nazgûl are ring wraiths, not the fell beast that they eventually fly around on…

really excited about this jaded millennial fred pitch

Miyazaki loves a Cinematic Haircut, but the wildest one I’ve ever seen was in Laputa Castle in the Sky, where the main girl gets her pigtail braids shot off via pistol from across the room

Tom Hardy and Ryan Gosling as frontmen in a Flintstones reboot would put butts in seats

Do yall wanna play dress to impress together

Oh yeah nice!

Re: getting a nat 20 initiative, it's not that it's not good to hit a nat 20, it's that a nat 20 isn't much better than getting a 19 on initiative. Getting a nat 20 in almost any other circumstances is a lot better than rolling any other number. Twice as good when you're talking about doing double damage. Nat 20 initiative rolls don't even guarantee you go first. This is what makes nat 20 initiative rolls feel less satisfying.

Yipppeeeeeee I love NADDPOD

Just when I thought I heard enough about the flintsones after the mixed bag here we are lmao

Lesbian Kenna, toxic impulse Callie, Sol being that friend who supports no matter what and Calder being a hell no are you shitting me? Is the best friend group dynamic.

Calliope needs a rebound guy.

Boomer Pooh was here
