Harry Potter. Star Trek. Sliders. Outlander. Buffy. Etiquette and Espionage. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies… Fantasy stories all. If the world was ending and you could escape to a fantasy realm, based on our reality, which would you flee to?

There are lots of things to consider, like how you would navigate a world full of Hell Mouths and which vampires to befriend… it’s not as easy as you might think.

In this episode we explore different fantasy universes, discuss what makes these “twisted realities” alluring and how we might live within them. We also talk about a few books we’ve read recently and side track into a short discussion about Minecraft. Cameo appearances made by Russell, Aaron, baby Lorelei and her new Wonder Woman doll—prepare for Cute Factor 10.
