Tori is in the moderator seat this episode. Arcadia leads off with the Satanic Panic and how D&D got roped into that mishigas. The Satanic Panic took over the US, and D&D was primed to get brought into it. Due to being started at the beginning of the latchkey kids, parents worried about those kids who were without parents constantly being available. The most ironic part of that piece of the story is that those kids getting into D&D, were the good kids. TSR did itself no favors with the book covers either. D&D was a haven for the outcast kids, a place to belong even when they didn’t fit those socially acceptable norms. Malcolm brings us back from the break with the 4 Dungeons&Dragons movies. He discusses the good, the mostly bad, and the call back for the fans. While at least three of those movies were decidedly bad, Honor Among Thieves brings it back into the light. The movie gives so many nods to fans that it’s an amazing Easter Egg Hunt.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
