Throughout history, there has always been a chasm between the bulk of humanity and the enigmatic circle who hold true dominion. Those whose influence remains shrouded, save for the rare instances when their designs cross into the outside world… and the real-world repercussions of their schemes can play out with dramatic results.

Former online poker player Jimmy Harmon finds himself returning to live play after his accounts are suspended. But his attempts to rebuild his bankroll are interrupted when his friend Will Archer warns him that one of his less-than-reputable creditors, semi-reformed Las Vegas gangster Wiktoria Sałkiewicz, is actively seeking him out.

Rated AD-PG, so parental guidance is suggested
Contains a character being tortured, multiple uses of “ass” and “bitch,” and — depending on who you ask — a really bad Australian accent. (I mean, we’ve heard far worse.)

Bjorn takes the opportunity to talk a little about how the live performance of “War of the Worlds 2018” came to be. For the remainder of the episode, Bill talks about the inspirations behind our next regular series, Quorum, as well as to what to expect from our first installment, “The Gambler’s Tale: Outstanding Debts.”

Rated AD-G for general audiences
We’re just talking, so unless you really want to defend a certain film, you really shouldn’t be offended.

Recorded before a live audience in May 2018, H.G. Wells’s classic “War of the Worlds” gets a Jabberwocky update as we tune in to a special radio broadcast in October 2018, learning of mysterious power outages and “seismic activity” in the Washington, DC area. Could this be related to strange gas eruptions on the planet Mars?

Rated AD-PG, so parental guidance is suggested
Contains scenes of mass destruction and sci-fi violence, including people being incinerated by heat rays, suffocated by poison gas, and, in one case, impaled. I mean, the Martians really aren’t trying to be good neighbors.

Rated AD-G for general audiences
We’re just talking. I mean, Bjorn does use the phrase “Wesley Crusher with balls,” but it’s appropriate.
