History-Makers: Boethius & the Consolation of Philosophy
It's 523 AD, the Goths rule Italy and your former best pal the King has unjustly imprisoned you... What do you do? Well, if you're Boethius, you take all that angst and write the single best work of philosophy since Plato. Not biased.-B

Trope Talk: Dark Reflection
The question was not what this thumbnail would be. The only question was which shot of Sonic and Shadow looked best.

The gang makes good on that promise to talk about Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, but not before a chat about how much Hades II has consumed Red and Indigo's weeks!
History Summarized: Macedonia on the Eve of Alexander
My Alexander Slander knows no limits: because today we're talking about all the Macedonian history before the world famous Horse-girl For Him shows up – because the conquest of Greece by his father Philip II was a Masterpiece. So let's see how he did it.

The gang chats about Sophia's thesis that NYC is really the fifth Ninja Turtle, the weird short-lived micro-genres of the past, upcoming projects we're excited to see, voice actors, and then the rest of the episode is a sort of proto-detail-diatribe on Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood!
