We’ve spent a year crawling through Strahd’s guts. After two dozen episodes of critical analysis, it’s time for the Curse of Strahd Q&A! We’ve read every word of this book, so feel free to get into the weeds. Send questions via DM or email hugepitfilledwith200spikes at gmail.

The dream of the '90s is alive in Port-land. In this month's bonus content, the Matrix perfectly captures the wrongness predicating the imminent fall of empire. We were adrift at sea, locked in cubicles. Ah, simpler times. www.patreon.com/CriticalLit/...

The Matrix (Part 1) - August 2026 Bonus Episode | Critical Lit

Bonus content on Patreon! This film is Thranduil slander. And let this be a lesson to all you Lake-townies: When facing an enemy who has an inexhaustible AoE attack, try not to cluster your buildings in one convenient location. www.patreon.com/CriticalLit/...

The Hobbit, Rankin/Bass 1977 (Part 2) - July 2026 Bonus Episode | Critical Lit

Bonus content on Patreon! The Saja Boys launch an earworm attack & Jinu's jawline launches 1000 shipfics, joining Trauma Mommy Celine & a giggly Gwi-Ma as likable antagonists. But the real villain is the tight 90-minute runtime. Oh the exposition we could have had! www.patreon.com/posts/kpop-d...

'Sup, Schickheads! The White Plume Mountain deep dive wraps up with a raging case of instant super-tetanus, bellies full of crab boil & a haul of legendary weapons. Plus one 6-foot hookah for good measure. Cue the @dandillon.bsky.social cold open... critical-lit.simplecast.com/episodes/whi...

Who says you can't leave Barovia? Our holiday hiatus is the 1979 TSR module White Plume Mountain, written exactly one time and no more by Lawrence Schick. It's surely chock full of renegade, deranged, fanatical gnomes! critical-lit.simplecast.com/episodes/whi...

It's an old school holiday hiatus! We're tackling the first half of S2, the 1979 TSR adventure White Plume Mountain, written exactly one time (to his eternal chagrin) by Lawrence Schick. In this episo...
