About this listen

This podcast is dedicated to exploring the fictional worlds across movies, TV shows, and video games.

Join Brandon, Eric, and Dave as they explain the stories, characters, performances, and productions in all genres. From sci-fi thrillers to animes to arthouse films to indie video games, we embrace all universes as our home.

Each episode engrosses listeners with sounds and music from the topic and always ends with a clever round of trivia!

We are not fanboys. We will give any fictional creation a chance to be explored. We promise to look for the good even in the bad, because we understand how hard it is to make something, especially at a large scale.

This is why we call ourselves The Nomads of Fantasy. We want to visit the fantastical! We want to see what people are capable of creating! So please, come with us and experience what we experienced.

And with that... safe travels, nomads.

  • Who Framed Roger Rabbit
    May 27 2025

    Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a timeless showcase of filmmaking wonder, an excellent combination of animation and live-action that relied heavily on craftsmanship, crazy planning, and artistic ingenuity. In a world before CGI became commonplace, the movie harnessed traditional hand-drawn animation techniques, practical effects, and carefully choreographed live-action moments. It united directors, animators, actors, and set designers, each discipline contributing an essential layer to the magic. The seamless blending of humans and cartoons required precision timing, painstaking frame-by-frame animation supervised by Richard Williams, and thoughtful performances by actors such as Bob Hoskins, who convincingly interacted with characters who weren't physically present. This dedication to craftsmanship elevated the movie into a timeless classic, a testament to what cinema could achieve when multiple creative talents collaborate harmoniously.

    Today, the magic behind Who Framed Roger Rabbit feels somewhat lost amidst the digital convenience of modern film production. The charm of practical effects, detailed set-building, and meticulous animation that brought Roger and Jessica Rabbit vividly to life has often been replaced by computer-generated imagery, sacrificing the unique artistry of hands-on filmmaking. The film serves as a good reminder of a time when storytelling relied not just on technology, but on the collective talents of artisans who dedicated countless hours to perfecting their craft. By returning to these roots, modern cinema could recapture the heart, imagination, and enchantment that made films like Who Framed Roger Rabbit an enduring symbol of cinematic magic.

  • Blue Prince
    May 4 2025

    Open the door and dive into Blue Prince, one of 2025’s most intriguing puzzle game releases—and a bold evolution in the genre. Blending a sense of discovery with strategic planning, Blue Prince invites players to build their own sprawling mansion room by room, all while racing against a mysterious ticking clock. It’s a masterclass in atmosphere and minimalist storytelling, wrapped in a mechanic that rewards both experimentation and forethought. We believe this game represents a shift in how puzzle games can deliver narrative and gameplay in tandem, without relying on heavy exposition or traditional hand-holding.

    Blue Prince is another shining example of how indie developers continue to push the medium forward. Whether you’re a casual gamer looking for a unique experience or a hardcore player eager to break the game’s systems wide open, there’s something here for everyone. Its replayability, eerie charm, and satisfying progression loop make it a standout title and a strong contender for indie game of the year. Join us as we unpack the mechanics, moments, and meaning behind this mysterious mansion builder.

    Stick around until the end for a round of Video Game 20 Questions.

As a gamer, I am really enjoying your podcast. Especially because you play a game at the end of every show, it is a unique and awesome touch. I'm glad your episodes aren't too short also, keeps me entertained at work. Bioshock and Skyrim are 2 of my all time faves and the reason I discovered your podcast, then when I saw Totk and Idiocracy on there I really knew I found my people. I'd love to hear you guys do the Resident Evil games, especially Re4. And Squid Game too!
