Over the past year+, Emma read The Witcher Book Series with a book club, and they were kind enough to come on Pairing and share their experience of reading these books! Emma, Ester Ellis, Brenna Galvin, and Anthony Pinggera discuss the ups and downs of these books, and why we're all glad that we read them as a book club. We also talk about the Netflix series and the video games from CD ProjektRed, but we focus on the books by Andrzej Sapkowski. Featuring: the Wine of the Witcher, himbo Geralt, the true translation of "Jaskier," our favorite (non-Regis) characters, resisting genre tropes, coping with trauma, and, of course, the stuffed unicorn. Special thanks to Ester Ellis for helping record this episode! Some spoilers in this episode. Content warning: discussion of upsetting topics, including violence, abuse, and sexual assault. If you're looking for a podcast to fill the void once Pairing goes on hiatus, check out Anthony's new podcast, I'm a Sophisticate and So Can You! Join Anthony and co-host Sydney Painter, two queer millennials with ADHD, as they explore "the canon."

Episode 96: Witcher Book Club (with Ester Ellis, Brenna Galvin, and Anthony Pinggera)

Anthony Pinggera returns to Pairing to discuss Episode VI of Star Wars: The Return of the Jedi. We agree that this movie somehow holds itself together despite having many moving parts, but we disagree on Jedi Rock. Plus: Harrison Ford's deathwish for Han, possible other directors, C-3PO: sommelier, the racism of the ewoks, Aaron Sorkin-style walk and talks, Roman Emperors, and a heartwarming story about Warwick Davis. SPOILER WARNING for ALL the Star Wars films. Anthony runs SpellTheory- a blog for Dungeon Masters and other D&amp;D players. Follow him on Facebook and Twitter @SpellTheory!
