The "gong-crow" call towards the end is evergreen😂
Fantasy is absolutely awash with clashes of red and blue, they’re an iconic combination across the genre What a wild thing for everyone to just agree with
Hi, just coming back in November of 2025 to listen to this again because Adventure-Book Theater is probably my absolute favorite of Naddpodd. So yea
Have you listened to 8 bit book club? It’s basically this for hours at a time! Check it out here: https://archive.org/details/8-bit-bookclub
Blue and red can look great together, depending on the shades. Look up Patrick Laine's Montreal Canadiens themed suit and tell me it doesn't absolutely rip.
Are webs… cum?
'noOO.'
Jake was in Pillars of Pentagarn? I don't remember that 🤔
K holes and whippets. If you know, you know
Y'all got totally webbed up
This was SUCH a riot. Absolutely loved it. So so funny. Murph Just being like, “WE HAVE TO MOVE ON” absolutely classic Murph energy. So funny.
I love how mamy tangents and how little sense this episode makes. Endless laughs. why is there a character named Oestrogen?
Wow Jake's first episode?? Good to see he's not to busy with Amir to join the group xD all in all fun SR energy love it!! You guys make my job bearable at times thank you!!
There is so much short rest energy in this episode and I love it
In reference to the melb show and this ep - I'm a final fantasy baby!
16 Bit AV Club did not get nearly as much attention as it deserved
Wow, Jake - incredible job. It honestly seems like he's been doing this for ages, crazy how goood his first episode was! Hope to see more, but totally understand this was a guest feature.
“I’m your secret Gray Paw.”
Great episode! Love 8 bit book club and that guy Jack did it great for been his first time doing podcasts
I always mourned the death of 8BBC even if it was necessary for the beautiful butterfly of NADDPOD to emerge from its body. Having these new 8BBC episodes has been such a treat, takes me back to listening to the original series on my way to college classes. Plus it's so cool you got Jake from Jake and Amir to guest star on this one! Would really love to see him come back for another :)
I’ve had to restart this episode twice cause I have no idea what’s happening and I love it?
I thoroughly enjoy these choose your own adventure books
It isn't related to anything but Emily mentions reading All Systems Red at the end. Those audiobooks are one of my comfort medias and I love Murderbot. 🥹
I also just started reading the Murderbot series. I’m on book two now.
OMG THERE WAS A TURTIS MOMENT TOO
I love Murph's new "we're powering through" method to all the random garbage everyone else keeps throwing on the track trying to derail this podcast train lmao. This is so funny
This is a legendary episode
Any warrior cats kids get violently thrown back to middle school at the name Greypaw?
Yes lol. My immediate thoughts as well
Shout out to estragon for helping cure my mental health
This episode was deeply unhinged. Nearly unfollowable. Perfect.
These 8BBC eps have made me listen to the original 8BBC and they truly found their way and I love that for them and these episodes where they do read-alongs or movie reviews are just a highlight every gd time. What a treat.
Raid on a nightmare Castle, without the raid, or the castle , but the nightmare stays with CHRIS ANGEL MINDFREAK
I thought this was the short rest, and I was really confused why it was the same. For a second, I thought maybe you did an honnest re-edit with the joke stuff from the end, but then it was all still there. I feel super smart today. 😑😑😑
Now I need to hear Jake sing the opening to 16 bit AV club
Yall went off track so often and so hard I had as much trouble following the episode as yall did the story
As soon as Emily said she was reading Science Fiction I went “I wonder if she’s read the Murderbot Diaries…” It’s my FAVORITE and I gasped in excitement when she name dropped it!
the adhd is really firing in this episode (I am 15 minutes in)
Ring the gong once for good news and twice for danger.
And three times for a birth
3…2..1…Axford!
The silence after Mr.Tanner jokes just make me want to implode into myself 🤣
Wow, Jake was in Prank Wars, right!?!
I fucking love that they're all a little uneasy up until about 10 minutes when they find "affable with an edge" and never look back
My dad's cris angel
I looked up so many diagrams of a bell and I could not find peen anywhere am I crazy
the bell is just the tip of the peen
YEESSS I LOVE ALL THE 8 BIT EPISODES
Wow! That guy who makes videos with Amir is on this one!
My dad always said i was conceived because Walgreens wouldn't take a check
I love these! Best way to lift up a bad day at work
Oh wait, Jake Hurwitz? Didn't that guy used to be a comedian?? How Cool!!
There's no time to waste on book club meetings! Calder is being carried away!!
Everyone needs to read Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse!
omg is the guest amir from john and amir???
The “traitor ameddus” debacle might be the funniest shit I’ve ever heard
Is this the guy from Lonely and Horny???
for the longest time, when they said 'jewel' i heard 'juul'
I love Jason, he's so great on Jason and Amir x
woah, Jkae Hurwitz? Great get. What's that guy been up to?
8-bit book club was what convinced me to finally join the patreon, I’ll never tire of these episodes.
Same!
Can’t wait to see who this Jake dude is! Is he the one that played Amir on Jake and Amir?
I was stoked to see Jake Hurwitz as the guest. That dude is hilarious!
first hardwon comes back, now 8 Bit!!!
Oh my gosh yes!! Thank you!!
I adore these. I hope you eventually do the HeartQuest Book, "Moon Dragon Summer."
Hell yeah
