Point of No Return - Part 3 (Arlington)

Chapters 20-22 of Arlington: Rally

• Further reflection on where we have been and what comes next, closing on the final episodes of Arlington.
• Discussion on the fact that our podcast is not only informed on by School of Movies, but that our work is improved by learning from it.
• Thomas and Sarah's backstory: what it means in terms of plot and larger narrative
• And finally, our dissection of all the reasons Thomas was reticent to reveal these truths.

We got a little off track discussion things that aren't directly Arlington episodes, but hopefully it all feeds into a greater whole.

Point of No Return - Part 1 (Arlington)

This is it. The beginning of the end.

Technically we start with Chapter 17, which is still in Part 2 in the novel. But as we get into, we do have our own relevant theme for the final nine chapters of Arlington, which for the purpose of our show will be divided into three sets of three. Today we start with Chapters 17-19, Decent.

• The Book of Carl
• The Book of Seth
• The Book of... Dracula? (The answer may surprise you!)

The Search Begins - Part 3 (Arlington)

Today's Episode is titled Dr. Sean Riley, or How We Learned To Stop Overthinking And Love Bob Chipman's Performance. (Also, Smoke Weed Responsibly)

But seriously, today we talk about:

• The reasons why we love the character and speech of Sean Riley
• Toby's specific reflections on what his speech means to him as an academic
• The feelings evoked by Eli Roach, and discussion of the etymology of his name
• Outtakes!

And most importantly,, time taken out to specifically shout out our fellow creators at the Fireside Alliance, which we had not really mentioned before now since our fanbase is already a subset of Alex's, and those folks are already in the know. But among the stuff we called out:

The Search Begins - Part 2 (Arlington)

Once more, a shorter episode than usual, but that's because an incredibly intriguing discussion had to be sequestered to it's own spot in order to avoid potentially spoiling new readers. I don't know how many of those we have, but bear ye in mind: if you have not read/listened through Uncivil Outlaw, stop listening at or before the outro music! This warn you!

In the meantime:

• Our myriad discussion on the magic of Carl and Old Ned
• Horror Stories on the Frontier: Here There Be Dragons
• The return to the political thriller in chapter 15, as we start exploring the challenges of the DC team
• Discussing the characterization of MacPherson and Fisher, and who we fear more
• And as always, more ruminations on the essential nature of Thomas

The Search Begins - Part 1 (Arlington)

Holy shit, we got to act 2 of Arlington! Celebration time!

Seriously, as always seems to happen, we focus mostly on Chapter 13 in this episode, so chapters 14-16 will happen later. But there is content! Including:

• Discussion of how genre mixing, and how music is used to separate out two different moods/stories inside Arlington
• The White House Meeting
• How all the leadup and character introduction in Act 1 prepared us for this moment
• And our brand new segment: Musings on Manticores

Allies - Part 10 (Arlington)

An unexpectedly short episode. Due to the way we weren't able to finish the topic list in one session, we had a second one to finish off. The session was long, but much of it was content that wasn't New Century related. I didn't remember this, so I assumed I had enough for a 45 minute episode plus outtakes, and ended up significantly shorter.

To make up for it, a long involved Outro, plus some stuff that would have normally ended up on the cutting room floor. Future info redacted, so you can enjoy it  even if you haven't read this far. But of the topics we do cover:

• Family gestures beyond words
• Our thoughts on the close of Act 1, and what comes next

And as for the rest? You'll see.
