Chapter and Multiverse is a brand-new actual play podcast, using multiple game systems of different genres to explore the city of Chapter. Every new campaign is set in the same city, but in a different alternate universe. ​

​

One season, Chapter may be a medieval fantasy town complete with monarchs, magic and monsters, but another season, it may be a gritty futuristic metropolis where corporations control everyone’s daily lives. Along the way the Eternal Tavern Keeper guides the listeners, and the characters, in their journeys through Chapter and beyond.​

​

Same city. Different universes. Infinite stories.

The Nerd of All Trades crew gather together to ask the important movie questions we all ask ourselves, like what if we made a movie where Mario Kart is set in the world of Fast & Furious? Every episode we come up with our best ideas for pitches that will expand that topic’s universe with varying results. Our listeners will come along with us on a journey to explore new franchises and go on vast tangents across the universe while just having a great time talking about our favorite movies and answering questions. There is no shortage of good times as we grow our crew while simultaneously doing everything in their power to convince the host why they should stop being invited to each episode. So give us a listen, leave a review, and welcome to Nerd of All Trades

Steven Spielberg, Jerry Goldsmith, Joe Dante, Chris Columbus. All are respected in their own right for their contributions to film, but when they came together the result was Gremlins–the 1984 horror-comedy classic. Join Arnie, Stuart, and Jakob as they watch and review both Gremlins films at nowplayingpodcast.com! In the mid 1980s there was no bigger name in film than Steven Spielberg. As a director he had a string of major hits, including E.T. which became the top grossing film of all time. Even films he didn’t direct but only produced, such as Poltergeist and The Goonies, benefited from having his name high on the title. Also in this category was Gremlins, the 1984 film about a small town overrun by small, evil creatures. Directed by The Howling’s Joe Dante, this film provided a combination of horror, comedy, and Christmas. Now join Stuart, Arnie, and Jakob as they review this film, from the cuddly Mogwai to the creepy Gremlins to that lingering smell that makes Kate hate Christmas.

For over a year the hosts of Now Playing have watched and reviewed every movie based off a Marvel Comics series, but now they enter into their last Marvel review series with the most popular Marvel Comic character of all time — Spider-Man! Join us as we watch and review all the Spider-Man movies from the 1970s made-for-TV films through the 2012 Amazing Spider-Man reboot! For over a year the hosts of Now Playing have watched and reviewed every movie based off a Marvel Comics series, but now they enter into their last Marvel review series with the most popular Marvel Comic character of all time — Spider-Man! His red and blue spandex suit is iconic, outshining even Mickey Mouse in global brand awareness, and his 2002 movie even bested Star Wars in the box office. But before Tobey Maguire became the face of Spider-Man, there was Nicholas Hammond. Continuing their roster of prime time superhero shows, CBS ordered a two-hour pilot movie featuring Spider-Man, a college student and part-time photographer. Can the production budget of a 70s television show do justice to Spider-Man’s amazing powers? Listen to Arnie, Stuart, and Jakob’s review to find out!

5 years from now, the world and humanity are dying. Over one hundred years of abuse has intoxicated the planet to the point of no return. The seas have dried up, the animals are dead and vegetation will no longer grow in the contaminated earth. A select group of humans (mostly politicians and their families) have evacuated the earth while a group of 12 scientists remain to attempt to make the planet habitable again.

Something has been found at the bottom of Earth’s ocean. An ancient artifact that can only be described as a giant door, inset into the sea floor. It becomes known as the Vault. A gigantic enigma, buried and forgotten…nineteen thousand feet down. To study the artifact, the galaxy’s most powerful corporation, Maas-Dorian, has built a massive, self-contained, secret laboratory base surrounding it, named FATHOM. It’s objective: unlock the secrets of the artifact and discover what it holds.​ But some mysteries should remain buried. And some doors should never be opened….The story of DERELICT begins with season one, FATHOM, a narrative podcast experience from award winning science fiction author J. Barton Mitchell, and produced by Night Rocket Productions. Website: derelictpodcast.com

Before Spider-Man, X-Men, or the Incredible Hulk were ever imagined, the Marvel Universe we know today began with Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s first issue of The Fantastic Four, a superhero team made up of the elastic Mister Fantastic, The Invisible Woman, The Human Torch, and The Thing. Marvel’s First Family were a new type of superhero that had personal problems as well as super-villains to fight. In print, the comic was an instant hit, but in theaters, the Fantastic Four have a less-than-fantastic cinematic history. Now join Stuart, Arnie, and Jakob as they continue their look at all the Marvel Comics movie adaptations with all three Fantastic Four feature films. In this first installment, the Now Playing hosts watch a film never meant to be seen — 1994’s Fantastic Four. Made on the cheap and possibly never intended for release, this film has become legend to comic book lovers and film lovers alike. Why was this film never released? Did it deserve its fate? Listen to find out!
