Season 15 Episode 3: Bram Stoker's Dracula Pt. 3

 

If you hear wolves in the distance, pay no heed to them for far greater evils are afoot in the ultimate episode of The Cromcast's reading of Dracula. We join the cabal of Dracula hunters as they chase their vampiric quarry back to his homeland in an attempt to destroy him for good. Not just because he's a blood-sucking nuisance, but so they can save beloved Mina's soul! Tune in for all of our analysis, a special dip into the mailbag, and the usual banter we are most beloved for!

One Things:

Luke: Learns to play euchre from the Mile High Gaming Club

Jonathan: Ponders the multiverse with What If? Vol 1. from Marvel Comics

Josh: Plays an imaginary card game called Gwent

Next time: Let's finish Dracula!

Season 15, Episode 2: Bram Stoker's Dracula Pt. 2

Welcome back to our castle, Cromrades! Enter freely, and leave something of the happiness you bring! This week, we bring you a discussion of the middle section of Dracula by Bram Stoker, covering the events of chapters 9 through 18. Lucy is attacked by unseen forces in the night, eventually succumbs to the darkness calling her, and the formation of a party to take the battle to Dracula. This part of the book has some chilling scenes, particularly the assault on Lucy, and Lucy's transformation. And, it sets the stage for the final act of the novel. 
What is your favorite part of this section of Dracula? Let us know!

Season 14, Episode 7: Cotton Comes to Harlem Pt. 2

On today's show, we conclude our reading and interpretation of Chester Himes' "Cotton Comes to Harlem". This hardboiled look at a caper gone horribly wrong in Harlem has been a great read and we think a perfect capstone to our tour of hardboiled fiction. Tune in to find out how Coffin Ed and Gravedigger wrap up the case of the missing Back to Africa money and just how far they are willing to go to get justice for their community! This one has it all!

One ThingsJosh: has been gaming with Castlevania: Rondo of BloodLuke: Is prepping the land and fostering nature with native seeds from Roundstone Seeds in KYJon: Saw a movie called The Eternals
