Welcome to Cool Talk, the biweekly podcast where two guys talk about what makes up a story. Going beyond reviews and criticism, we discuss the elements of storytelling using familiar works as examples.
The attractive people, Ryan Dalton and EJ Pennyman are again joined by their most recent guest, Steve Mizer. We sit next to a mattress and dig through our happy memories of story-times past.

Pro Hero EJ Pennyman and anti-hero Ryan Dalton, digress immediately. Delaying the long expected Dr. Horrible episode. This episode is chock full of references to 2008s Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog with very little by the way of explanatory commas. We do, however, explain all the ways Dr. Horrible subverts our expectations.
Also, to make this episode more subversive: Act III Captain America: The Civil War spoilers.
Full Lyrics to Bad Horse: Bad Horse Bad Horse Bad Horse
He rides across the nation The thoroughbred of sin He got the application That you just sent in
It needs evaluation So let the games begin A heinous crime, a show of force A murder would be nice of course
Bad Horse Bad Horse Bad Horse He’s Bad
The Evil League of Evil Is watching so beware The grade that you receive Will be your last we swear
So make the Bad Horse gleeful Or he’ll make you his mare...
You’re saddled up There’s no recourse It’s Hi-Ho Silver Signed, Bad Horse
