Short Rest: Trinyvale X Strahd - Ep. 10

Emily has singlehandedly changed my opinion on movies and especially action movies. I just am here for the rad shit

I have googled Batman’s nipples… is a sentence I never thought I would say They are quite prominent

Two things: First, I too have floating head nightmare machines but instead of "bones are full of soup" recently someone said "did you know you can be constipated and have diarrhea at the same time?" And it swirls around me like a bad Doug Funny flashback sometimes. Second, --Murph.. I work at a guitar store and have been slowly learning the tristram theme from D1 and it is way more complicated than what they let you do this time. That being said I would pay money to watch you do it with your mouth which we previewed here.

Welcome to What Did It Gross?

I am...SO here for this Goofy Movie talk. Such a classic!

Yes, millennials: the generation that still needs to be sold on teenage mutant ninja turtles.

jens made cigarettes sound so good this episode i wanted one so bad 😭

Unnnhnbvmknms(( My nsjdnfmj

Is anyone else not seeing this episode in the trinyvale collection?

If Emily wanted to see Nicole Kidman in a Batman movie then she’s going to love Batman Forever

I think the issue for shumucker batman movies they wanted to revert back to the campy and silly movies. But we had Michael Keaton movies that set the dark knight Era after the campy silver age of Adam west. And people really wanted that world still. But for me it disappoints me in ruining and kinda putting a stigmata on using poison ivy or mr freeze. We got bane back barely without venom. Probably wasn't use due to those movies. But batman used venom in the Robert Patterson movie though

“Oppa-Gandalf Style” —essentially Jake

Honestly thought Emily was gonna ask for William Shitts to be killed by the shadow.

Coldwell saying, "bat lactation" under his breath had me weezinhg ahaha

Mr Freeze also refers to him and Poison Ivy as “Adam and Evil” in the goofiest of evil plot reveals! ❤️ which immediately won me over.

emily letterboxd is calling to you

It's Meet the Parents, Caldwell. I expected better from you

I need more Twighlight Sanctorum!

I beg you - do a karaoke mixed bag! Emily can sing "Aladdin" from the piano music, Murph & Caldwell do the songs from "Goofy Movie" and Jake can do "Kiss from a Rose" 🤣

The assassin in the mirror is Crash Bandicoot.

A goofy movie is one of the greatest movies ever made, great short rest

The view crew/8 bit book club needs to watch Mickey Donald and Goofy in the three musketeers. It truly is a work of art and would uncover some deep goofy and Donald lore that I know the group would appreciate.

I love Murph’s goodboy paladin energy bleeding into Jens a little bit lol. I’m happy to see the triplets start to care against their will. It’s a testament to our Duncle

This short rest and ep 9 SR are not in the trinyvale collection :)

Fantastic ep as always! The contrast of the wackiness of the triplets and the grimness of barovia is really funny! V excited to see where this goes.

I am guilty of murking innocent NPCs in my own campaign, but I feel so possessive of Caldwell’s characters in this run through. Save the drunk Lobster musician !

I used to do Disney Power Hours with my buddy Cody in college when I was still a musical theatre major and the night always devolved into belting A Goofy Movie into each others’ face at 2am

Em’s logic on Batman not having a belly button ‘He’s born from the night’ is the best hot take I’ve even heard!

What killed the dinosaurs? THE ICE AGE!

Really isn't all of life about making sure the right kind of soup is in the right place?

Maybe I’m a cranky old man, but I can’t get on board with these “new perspectives” on terrible movies. All the Schumacher Batman movies and Star Wars Prequels are terrible. If they accomplished what they were going for, what they were going for was bad. Like, id personally be fine if they just made a good Batman movie where he was actually gay. I’d also be fine if they made a Batman comedy that was actually funny (like Lego Batman). In Batman and Robin everything is just dumb in a completely un-compelling way

I miss balnor lol would LOVE to see him interact with the triplets lol

When I ran Strahd a few years ago my players did the same think and went to Vallaki first and there’s like these 2 complete land mines like that where your lvl 4 character can take 30pts of damage in an instant just by stepping in the wrong place.

It is WILD that the response to Powerline’s I2I is “oh yeah”, after singing the deep cut. Fucking. Wild.

The nipple-y batsuit is on display at the Pop Culture Museum in Seattle. Can confirm that they are poppin'.

All this talk that “witch’s milk is fun! Witch’s milk is good clean fun!” No! My guess is witches milk comes from the concept of a “witch’s mark”. Where it was believed that witches had an extra nipple that they fed their familiars from. Invasive body searches were used across the world during witch trials, and finding a suspicious birthmark, mole, or wart, was a leading source of evidence in condemning a witch!

They should send the shadow at the heliclopper

I’ve had a bone marrow test and it was literal paralyzing pain (and they gave me a local) but only for like 5 seconds.

unfortunately need a sonic/christmas carol trinyvale oneshot now

"ice" is slang for diamonds i think that's as deep as it goes

the guesses of "is there a person in the wolf's head y/n" are really interesting. Center pieces that are deliberately put there by writers often call attention to themselves for plot reasons, especially when they're brought up multiple times, so "yes" makes sense. On the other hand, Curse of Strahd is really heavy on prosaic description and ominous symbols. I can see the thinking either way

Please, please do more Hoglidays episodes

Don't say those things about bone marrow eek

Unfortunately, having Shadow, Sonic, and Silver as the Ghosts of Hoglidays Past, Present, and Future respectively would be very fitting

Happy Anniversary E&M!

The hog of hoglidays past is for sure dead Porker Harris.

“Okay noted, woman in a loveless marriage tells me how to live my life.” from Jake had me howling. Infinite roses for Nyack

Really regretting not getting pictures of the Batman and Robin nipple suit when I saw it on a salt mine tour

Thank u murph

short rests w/o concern for murph’s blood pressure: 0

Marrow is more like mashed potatoes

I can’t believe the song that Murph sings from Goofy Movie is the opening number that nobody remembers

the grim hollow player’s guide from ghostfire gaming has some great rules for pcs becoming lycanthropes (with boons and flaws) that ive played with and definitely recommend for anyone who wants to put that as an option (or possible consequence of a werewolf fight) for pcs in their games

The one time I've had straight cooked marrow it was delicious, but I felt weird eating it.

Fuck you because thats when life happens

There's been some cultural conversation about how the extremely negative response to the campiness of Batman & Robin was (in part) blatant homophobia, since Joel Schumacher was gay and obviously made the most homoerotic and campy Batman film he could for the fun of it. So Emily is right on the money about fanboys being mad because of Batman's luscious ass.

You guys have no idea how much the Batman and robin defence means to me

(about batman) “ a belly button implies an umbilical cord was cut off and he’s born from the night”- emily axford, 2025

God their talks stress me out so much 😂

I'm sure Caldwell was going for something more goofy, but I honestly found those hybrids so unsettling. They remind me of the taheen from The Dark Tower series

Donald Duck absolutely appears in the goofy movie btw

This is the most on topic short rest in months.

not my ass singing the Goofy Movie st instead of actually listening to the short rest

just in time for hempfest 😛😛

Just come back from training got the shit kicked out of me and get to come home to this good day in my opinion

Hell yeah

I love short rests so much can’t wait to listen to
