Mixed Bag of Holding: Netflix's The Witcher (Full Season Review)

Holy crap, I just went and listened to Sugar Water: I get exactly what Emily means 🥵

re: calling people darling. I'm poor and 30 and american but I call my beautiful wife darling cause I was listening to BCNR a lot when we first got together

Listening to this in the year of our gourd 2023 when the show has just fallen apart completely and I have to wonder what Murph thinks of it now 🥲

Bob Ross chill Murph needs to show up more often, I almost died laughing!

It's probably something that got mentioned somewhere many years ago, but the guy that plays Jaskier makes music professionally along with someone else as The Amazing Devil, and they are truly fantastic on a vibe similar to some of Emily's music.

The first time I heard about the Jill tucker thing was the first time I watched a "Hardwon's Painting party" and I legit was in shock because his delivery was so deadpan 😂 I wasn't for sure it was a joke for like 3 weeks.

Jaskier is Polish for "buttercup." Apparently the folks who translated the books felt "Buttercup" didn't quite hit the mark for the character in English, so they localized it as "Dandelion" to keep the feel.

I watched the entire season of The Witcher just so I can listen to this episode. No "Ragrets"

If Murph were to be anything in Avatar, it would be the cabbage salesman.

@murph you gotta watch avatar dude! One of the greatest shows ever! The ideas represented work so well for dnd too

The Crabster snaps back!

I am a little salty that they have such high praises for The Witcher (which is deserved) but razz so hard on the Warcraft movie.

I'm bummed that Vilgefortz is a turncoat, 'cause it's so easy for POC to be coded as bad guys, but also because that actor is hot as hell.

Rose for Caldwell bringing up ATLA. I can absolutely see Emily as a water bender. Murph and Caldwell as earth benders. And Jake, the honourable role of Cabbage vendor.

Avatar is a masterpiece. Murph needs to watch it.

Caldwell = Water Bender Emily = Earth Bender Jake = Fire Bender Murph = Air Bender

LOL at signs. When people say they’re a water sign or fire, etc. they’re talking about their zodiac signs (astrology). Alternatively you can talk about Chinese zodiac, and each one also has its own element depending on the year. Ex. 1988 = earth dragon, I think 1986 is fire tiger fwiw.

As a janitor I wish someone had a quest for me when they say are you a janitor but no someone just spilled their chips

I loved all of the 8BBC energy this Mixed Bag

Emily needs to follow Cavill on IG, he posts updates about his training with the horses that play Roach

Jaskier was the original polish name that basically means yellow flower

Chill Murph made me lol at my desk. I'm with you Jake, that was uncomfortable.

For the next bag of holding could you watch the ORIGINAL Witcher? It’s a polish film made in 2001 called The Hexer :p

Hey guys, great mixed bag! I think Jaskier was named as such because it is the Polish for Dandelion, which is of course the native language of the original writer :) Also, please watch Avatar, air bender series Murph (not the film), it is an absolute brilliant piece of narrative!

OH my god, Murph you would LOVE the last air bender. I can't believe you haven't seen it!!

Next bag of holding should definitely be Avatar: The Last Airbender!!

The Djin 3 wishes for tonic joke was great

Jake was a pinch of himself today

Gotta mixed bag the expanse. One of the best shows out right now. and the first two books I read are really great.

I don’t even like anime a whole lot but Avatar the Last Airbender is literally the greatest story ever told. Uhhhhh (mixed) BAG IT!

Loved the Witcher. Watching the season twice really helped me resolve the timeline. They just recently cast the actor playing Vesemir for season 2!

Caldwell is an earth sign, Em & Jake are fire, and Murph is air.

Buffy mixed bag 2020

Please GOD watch avatar the last airbender on mixed bag

I can not be the only one who sung along with them when they started sing "Toss a Coin To Your Witcher". I could hear my husband's eyes rolling

Damnit I had to pull over while listening to this. “Total Party Chill” from Caldwell broke me.

Anyone else think it's kinda crazy that murph has never seen avatar? I'd love an avatar pilot mixed bag

The sylvan guy wasnt actually CGI! It was all prosthetics! They amazed me with that.

Avatar the Last Airbender is so good. I see myself as an Earth bender personally

This is literally my entire opinion on the whole series and I’m just amazed at how y’all nailed it. Bravo. Can’t wait for the season 2 review where it’s all just basically heavy breathing.

Good show. Good podcast

Caldwell I honestly think that this "total party chill" joke is one of your greatest ever!

Murph needs to listen to Avatar. Truly a great fantasy series.

Super on board for the fantasy done right podcast

Emily brought up the Expanse and after season 1 plus I think season 2 premier it lost me. Know it is a good series just lost my interest. They also bring up Buffy so now I'm wandering if they've seen Firefly and Serenity. That's one mix bag review about fantasy done right I would love to hear.

I am so bummed right now. I’m sure a lot of people are happy, but I kinda paid for the boobs to recap a show I did not watch. It was mildly funny...but considering I had no point of reference since I didn’t watch the show...it was disappointing.

Jaskier in Polish means Dandelion and The Witcher series was originally written in Polish

You are all Chaotic Evil with various excuses. My Lawful Good Cleric judges you.

This is a blessed day
