Live from Wagoncon 2018, we talk about the greatest fantasy masterpiece film of all time: DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS! On second thought, this morning was godawful in every way imaginable and we all regret having seen it. This is very much an expletive-heavy episode, so sensitive ears be wary! This episode is one of THREE special full Breakfast Puppies podcast crossover episodes recorded at the absolutely lovely Wagoncon 2018 convention, in The Dalles, OR.

It is by fun alone you set your podcatcher to download and listen. That's right: This week we finally get to the movie that we've been wanting to do since day one: DUNE! At least for two of us on this show, Dune is one of the main films we wanted to get to talk about together. It's not just one of our favorite films of all time, but the story and concepts are incredibly game-able. Our energy is pretty awesome throughout the whole episode, and we hope you enjoy listening as much as we...

This week we bring back our good friend Scott to talk with us about one of Matthew's favorite films, Master and Commander! This is a long one, possibly our longest yet!

We're back to talk about the 2017 Cold War spy thriller, Atomic Blonde. Join us as we dive into the movie Atomic Blonde (2017) and discuss our pretty widely differing opinions on its action, tension, and mystery. And stick around for our journey into which games we think would best be suited to play out a story like this at the gaming table - and beyond! Also, we've been having some odd difficulties with the embedded Chapter Marks. Not all players support them, but I've heard from listeners...

After a short scheduling break, we're back with a round-table jam on a nostalgic classic, The Goonies. This one's a pretty passionate session, too! We took a bit of a break to deal with some administrative and scheduling issues, but now we're back with a new episode, talking about a movie cherished by millions from our generation: THE GOONIES! Does it hold up to the test of time? And can a brand new viewer find the same enjoyment than the rest of us do? Tune in and find out! Also, we're...

This week we talk about one of the greatest heist films of all time, the 2001 remake of Ocean's Eleven! Our energy levels aren't super high on this one, as it was the last episode recorded in 2017 and we were all pretty overwhelmed with the flood of food and family from the Xmas holiday season. But we powered on and even picked up the spirits shortly in, and we hope you enjoy listening to us talk about this excellent film! Links: Ocean's Eleven (2001) on IMDB Don Cheadle's Captain...

"You people sit tight, hold the fort and keep the home fires burning. And if we're not back by dawn... call the president." When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall dungeon master busts your character's chops, taps the head of your favorite mini up against the battle mat, looks you crooked in the eye, and asks you if you downloaded our latest episode; you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Matthew, Dusty, and Nathanael say at a time like that: "Have you...

Join us as we talk about our favorite high-octane bullet-filled masterpiece of competence porn: John Wick! I hope you like bullets and bad-asses, because this week we're diving into the things we loved about the absolutely amazing violent thriller, John Wick.

We wanted to send off the 2017 holiday season with our second bonus episode! Enjoy a multitude of clips and cuts from this year's episodes. We've been sitting on a growing pile of cuts and clips for a while now, and finally decided to release the vast bulk of them as a special holiday gift to everyone who's been listening to us thus far. We've been talking about the idea of putting out some of this as special content for a possible Patreon campaign, but for now, we just want everyone to get...

Stand honorably with your sword drawn, or die like a dirty dog in the streets. Such is the way of the 13 Assassins. Our second foreign film excursion takes us into the political intrigues of the Tokugawa Shogunate, as we talk about one of N's favorite films of all time: 13 Assassins. We certainly had an awful lot to say about this one, and we had a lot of fun recording it. As always: There be spoilers!

We're finally back! Journey with us to monstrous Midian, in a (very late) episode about the Clive Barker cult classic, Nightbreed! Hello again everyone! This episode is crazy late, as we've had an almost comical string of semi-catastrophic technical problems in all of our lives since last time. Thankfully the losses were eventually recovered due to well-planned multi-tier backups, so we're back with a new release for your enjoyment! Originally, we had planned a themed release month for...

Hey there Listeners... wanna play a game? So do we, and it's a good one perfect for the classic Escape Torture Film, Saw! Welcome to the podcast for the first time our friend Jessica! She has actually been working with us behind the scenes for a few weeks now, and even played in our VERY SPECIAL LOST EPISODE last month, but sadly that got lost and we didn't have an opportunity until now to bring her onto the show again. Also, this is our first episode recorded in our brand new studio! We...

We all float down here, in the darkness of the rather disturbing themes of the remake of Stephen King's It. This episode kicks off a very special themed Horror Movie Month here at the HMWG Podcast! We all dug the movie for the most part, but the conversation gets pretty dark as we delve into some deeply disturbing themes and content. Needless to say, we picked an equally disturbing game to add to the line-up for it, too! Highlights: 00:00:01 - Intro 00:01:11 - Movie Talk 00:53:42 -...

Bossa Nova! Chevy Nova? Excellent! Major league butt-kicking is back in town - it's the original Ninja Turtles movie, dude! Definitely our longest episode yet, this time we have two very special guests on the mics with us: it's Basem and Cranny from the Turtle Power Pod! We had a hilariously fun time recording with them, and we're thrilled to release this joint episode. We ended up with too much content, but so much of it was so good that we just couldn't trim it down any further. Expect a...

En garde and defend your honor, this time we dive into the 1973 classic, The Three Musketeers! While there have been many adaptations of the classic novel into cinema over the last century, our general consensus is that this one is the most faithful to the source material - and the most entertaining! And we welcome our first ever guest host with this episode, too. Our good gaming friend Scott has a lot to say about this movie and the franchise in general. Also, we're trying a new thing here...

Our first bonus episode, featuring outtakes both hilarious and fascinating from our inaugural season! This special bonus episode is a temporary departure from our regular format. We've packed an hour of our outtakes from the just-finished first series of our show into this package. You'll hear goofs, screw-ups, tangential conversations, deeper dives into our personal lives and stories, and additional episode content that was trimmed to keep the episodes within a shorter (relatively) time...

Got the feeling there are Too Many Secrets in these modern times? Join us as we dive into the crypto-thriller Sneakers! This wraps up our initial "launch batch" of advance recordings. To everyone who has stuck with us this far, we extend our heartfelt gratitude. As mentioned several times before, the first four episodes were meant to prove to ourselves that we could do it, and like we say in this episode: I think we proved that, and more! Starting with episode five, have implemented a...

One shall stand and one shall fall! Taking it back to our nostalgic love of the Transformers. Do you have the Touch? For our third episode, we take on the animated classic, Transformers the Movie. This was a pivotal piece in all three of our lives, so we have a lot to say about it! It's not quite as long as our first episode, but with more than an hour's worth of movie talk and gaming breakdown, we hope you enjoy this trip through our toy-heavy nostalgia. Also, this time around we tried a...

The finest parkour buddy-bro action that film has to offer! What games could best serve this dystopian macho-stunting French romp? In our second episode, we look at one of NPC's favorite films, the French parkour-action thriller District 13 - aka Banlieue 13, or District B13. It's an almost non-stop parkour martial arts chase from beginning to end, and perfectly game-able at a role-playing tabletop. We're still tweaking the setup a bit in this one, and you'll notice a few more changes to...

A quick introduction to exactly what we're doing here. Stay tuned for more! We released this first and foremost as a way to go ahead and secure the feed for the show. We've been working crazy hard on this, and I think we put this show together from zero to full speed in near record time! I know the recording may sound a bit wonky, but we made the (clearly incorrect) decision to record with new cables this time around before testing those cables out. Two of us sounded quite tinny in the final...
