It is cold and snowy and we have to shovel but we do not despair, for - from skating to sledding - there are numerous winter activities to keep us occupied. Ryan and Crofton go through some of their favourites which may or may not include watching the Olympics. Beyond that, the Dungeons includes games about escapism - Shadow Complex and Coral Island - and books about old men - Richard Osman and John Scalzi are back. All of this plus Ryan and Kayden keep watching Marvel movies and Crofton finally gets a new PC. Come listen!

After weeks of exchanging notes on the world famous Dungeons and Diapers podcast, Ryan and Crofton have "rolled credits", as the kids say, on the second part of the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy. They spend over two hours dissecting Rebirth from its best in class combat and music to its… not so great bits. Beware, spoilers abound for the original FF7, Remake, and Rebirth - use caution when listening! Also, come listen!

It is 2026 and the boys are back so you know what that means? That's right - arguing about the DaD Challenge! Who won? Who lost? What did we learn? But it is never too late to get points on the board as Ryan returns to his childhood with Philip Pullman while Crofton gets zen with meditating. Then it is time for the year's first topic and a discussion about how old your kids should be before watching your favourite movie, playing that violent game, or listening to that gangsta rap. All of that, Dispatch and Stranger Things! Come listen!

Ryan and Crofton take a break from their usual parental shenanigans to reflect on some of the video games that left important marks on their younger selves - from Mother Goose to Mario. But first, they hit the books with Ryan's review of Richard Osman's latest Thursday Murder Club yarn and Crofton singing the praises of Kelly Yang's Front Desk. All of this, Ninja Gaiden, and Ryan can't stop won't stop with shark movies and the Meg 2. Come listen!

A bit of a different topic this week as Ryan and Crofton share stories about times that they felt misunderstood for being a parent and advice on how to support your parent friends as they embark on a sometimes scary, always tiring, new journey. But before that Crofton has more to say on Hades II, while Ryan watches The Meg with Kayden and Peacemaker Season 2 by himself. All of this and one of the boys gets a new pet! Come listen!
