Trish, Paul, and Julia are joined by our very own reviewer, Daniel Haeusser, to review the 1995 Stallone extravaganza, Judge Dredd. If only Rob Schneider hadn’t been in this film, it would still probably suck, but the team makes a few improvements, discovers some awesome music, and tries to figure out how this movie manages to be so gods awfully stupid. And Paul loses his mind diving deeper than he ever wanted to go into the motivations of Judge Dredd himself. Come back, Paul! We hope you enjoy the episode!

Alex and Paul offer the experienced voices, Stina the slightly new, and Jen the completely new (and she’s SO excited to finally meet an adult Miles)! The team tackle everything from Miles’ improbable ability to juggle lots of plates, even though he does drop a few along the way, how his level of privilege plays into some choices that have far-reaching consequences, the dunder-headedness of Ivan Vorpatril, and so much more along the way. Next time, we’ll be discussing The Vor Game. Will the Dendarii Mercenaries join Miles again? Find out next time! We hope you enjoy the episode!

Actually, it’s mostly Shaun talking about the answers while Jen nods sagely. What are those questions? Well, listen to the episode and you too will know the truth about SFF canon. Or at least Shaun’s version of the truth. Especially since the conclusion we come to is that basically we all get to make our own canon. So, HA! After Shaun is all done ranting talking about canon, we get to our Mini-Boosts! We hope you enjoy the episode!
