The Honeycomb Hideout Episode 55: Un-Aliving the Author!!

ALRIGHT, 'COMBIES!! Your boys are taking it to some interesting places this time around. The big topic centers on the concept of "The Death of the Author", but we've got a whole lot of other fun and not-so fun bits sprinkled all throughout the show. With the standard topic distractions and derailments, weird jokes, and uncomfortable truths, there's also a bit of somberness thrown in for balance as well. So come on down, sit back, and feel something with your boys as we go through a wide-range of topics in a surprisingly short span of time and a surprise ending that none of you will see coming.

What's up, 'Combies! The time has come. A moment 10 years in the making. Avengers: Infinity War has arrived and it wasn't a subtle entrance.

So because of that, ya' boys are going to need a little help to unpack so we called in a friend to help us out with that. So come on down, kick back, and join in the group therapy as we deal with the monumental film that just happened to all of us.

The Honeycomb Hideout Episode 51: The Trope-a-Dope

Alright, 'Combies! After our recent milestone (see the last episode), we decided to take a bit easy for this episode and moved our natural analysis towards something a bit broader. Looking over the broad spectrum of fictional media, for this episode, we're looking at tropes. That's right, tropes; cliches and concepts that we've seen pop up in book after book, movie after movie, etc. There's a lot of them out there, so ya' boys decided to address the ones that we like and the ones that we loathe. Also, get ready to learn some interesting stuff about our esteemed host. It's a hoot this time around, so come on down and let's get into it!

The Honeycomb Hideout Episode 50: This is FAR from The Last Jedi, Internet!!

Alright, 'Combies! Welcome to 2018! Not even a month in and things are all too "interesting" already. But, for our 50th episode, we're tackling something exceptionally divisive within the geek community and doesn't appear to be dying down anytime soon. With the release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, there's been a wave of love and outrage over this movie that hasn't been seen since the Prequels as the fanbase is virtually split down the middle over it. (Star Wars: Civil War? Nah! Too redundant.) So now, your boys are diving into the film with a full review and in-depth discussion of it. So come on down, find out how The Last Jedi made us feel, and our take on the internet's reaction to the movie. It's gonna be a trip, y'all!

Well, 'Combies. It's that time again. Of course, it's another episode of the Honeycomb Hideout, but it's more than that. It's a Melee episode!

Whether it's politics, fan entitlement, video games, extremely random references... Well... more random references than usual... and so much more!
