Many of us in the US grew up on the belief that if we threw a coin in a fountain or a well that a wish would be granted. Where did that tale come from?
We return from our break with an episode about one of our favorite things, games! We've done video games before, so today's episode is dedicated to all those other types of games out there.

Stephen surprised Brian with a bracket tournament of video games. Video games face each other for the most culturally relevant video game of all time. Who will it be? Super Mario 64? The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time? Super Smash Bros. Melee? Or something else?

DISCLAIMER: This episode discusses topics that may not be suitable for all audiences. Battle Royale's story depicts extreme violence, sexual abuse, and other heinous crimes. Listener discretion is advised.
Although it took some time for its popularity to spread due to its outrageous plot, Battle Royale is a novel that has gone on to not only inspire artists to create various renditions of it, but sparked a new genre.
There are so many pieces of literature that have gone on to impact our culture in more ways than one. L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has inspired so many films, television shows, musicals, and other books that we simply must talk about it.
