The GNAPcast!

EPISODE 16 - Star Wars: The Prequels Were Actually Good?

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast! Well, we started off the show with a controversial episode and here we are again! This week, Seth and David chat with returning guest Abi about the much-maligned Star Wars prequels--with a twist. Instead of bashing them further (because let's be honest, way too many people have done that already), we talk about things that we actually liked from the prequels! Tying in a handful of supplementary materials (as well as some personal anecdotes about the films), come along with us for another unique take on something very dear to our hearts. 

This episode features Abi again, our resident millenial who wants to dye her hair blue and watched all of the Star Wars films in the wrong order, but we're not judging. Much. 

(P.S. We will actually talk about the books and our framework of Star Wars at some point. Pinkie swear. We promise.)

 

 

EPISODE 15 - Would You Rather 5: We've Gone Mainstream!

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast! Here we go again--we're about to tackle another lively attempt to logic through some bizarre and totally relevant hypothetical situations--it's Would You Rather!

Join David, Seth, and brand-new guest Abi on an adventure through the Internet, where we discover that after 15 episodes we've managed to finally go mainstream!...according to this game, at least. We also learn that David wishes he had a Batcave, Seth wants to be an Ewok, and that some of us (not naming any names) really, really hate spiders. 

This episode features Abi, a broadcasting tech-in-training from Ohio who has no sense of balance and thinks Superman is overpowered. (You can decide for yourselves if she's right, we refuse to comment.)

 

You can play along at home, too! Ask yourself only the most important question: Would You Rather?

 

EPISODE 14 - Would You Rather 4: I'd Rather Not...

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast! After a spectacular intro fail (and some odd technical issues), we once again take part in dissecting strange questions and finding out about ourselves--also known as the popular internet game Would You Rather! Come along with Seth and David as they debate each other over extremely relevant topics such as eating food from a dumpster, who they'd rather have narrate their lives, and how the world should end! (David's money is on the zombie apocalypse.)

EPISODE 13 - Everything is Plastic!

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast! This week David and Seth kick it old school and discuss something barefoot parents everywhere fear to tread upon--the dreaded LEGOs! *dun dun DUNNNN*

Come along with our dynamic duo (no, not that one) as we reminisce about that ubiquitous building toy that absolutely captured our innocent imaginations and wowed us with cool-looking tech (here's looking at you, Exo-Force)! Along the way, we also explore a question that would have driven our younger selves absolutely bananas...how many LEGOs would you buy with $500?

EPISODE 12 - A Crash (and Burn) Course in Greek Mythology

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast! This week, David and Seth break all kinds of GNAPcast trends on the show, including not talking about Harry Potter for the first time in three episodes! Join us as we chat about different aspects of Greek mythology, ranging from its inclusion in pop culture to the Illiad and Odyssey to a really terrible pun we didn't catch until editing! (But hopefully we're all a little smarter by the end...) 

MINOR SPOILERS for Percy Jackson and the Olympians, should such a thing be an issue for you. You have been warned!

 

P.S. If you're curious about the sketch we mentioned in this episode, you can find it on our YouTube channel here: Who's On First?

DISCLAIMER: The GNAPcast does not endorse acts such as eating babies, attempting flight with wax-and-feather wings, or flirting with everything female within a ten-mile radius. Don't worry, all of that will make sense. 

 

EPISODE 11 - Harry Potter and the Quiz We Should Have Studied For (Part 2)

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast! In this epic finale to our two-part Harry Potter quiz, we (and Luke) discuss, blindly guess, and dream-logic our way through more trivia questions about the Wizarding World! Come along with us to find out things you never knew you wanted to know about The Boy Who Lived; and again, beware spoilers for this book/film series that now includes a five-part film series based on a textbook mentioned one time in the first book! 

This episode features Luke, our Trivia-giver and a man who very much enjoys chunky peanut butter.   

 

You can play along at home, too! Here's the Cleansweep Seven level quiz (easy), here's the Nimbus Two-Thousand level quiz (medium); and if you're really feeling brave, why not tackle the FIREBOLT level (much hard)?!?

EPISODE 10 - Harry Potter and the Quiz We Should Have Studied For (Part 1)

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast! Continuing our trend of Harry Potter-themed conversations, this week we (along with our new guest Luke) tackle a trio of tricky trivia games all about The Boy Who Lived. And, y'know, some of his friends. They're sorta important, too. In any case, join us in this extra long, two-part episode for more Potter shenanigans--including some odd guesses and strange reasonings to get there--and once again, beware spoilers for this book/film series that's now almost old enough to get a reboot! 

This episode features Luke, a programmer from Maryland with a voice like an angel and a strangely scientific approach to making wand cores.   

 

You can play along at home, too! Here's the Cleansweep Seven level quiz (easy); and here's the Nimbus Two-Thousand level quiz (medium).

 

EPISODE 9 - "Oh, Bellatrix..."

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast! Join us this week as we chat again with Cassie and reminisce about some of our favorite moments from the Harry Potter films (all 9, at the time of this recording). MASSIVE SPOILER WARNING if you haven't seen any of these movies, some of which are fifteen years old now. 

This episode features Cassie again, who is definitely not a fan of Hermione getting tortured. That's good, right...?

EPISODE 8 - Would You Rather 3: Revenge of the Rather

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast! With a new guest on the show, we return to that age-old GNAPcast tradition of dissecting hypothetical circumstances--Would You Rather? ! In this Rather-sode, we discover that David has a lot of mainstream opinions this time and secretly harbors the desire to be Pikachu. Seth, on the other hand, is apparently a fan of Cinderella's work ethic and hates sleep. Who knew?

This episode features Cassie, a former English major who loves the element of water and is not a fan of eating penguins. (No penguins were harmed in the production of this podcast.)

 

You can play along at home, too! Ask yourself only the most important question: Would You Rather?

P.S. The achievement in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes we failed to remember during the episode is called "Don't I Know You?"

EPISODE 7 - The Airbender Awakens

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast! In our follow-up conversation with Andrew, we chat about one of the best-loved animated series of all time--Avatar: The Last Airbender! Join us as we discuss our favorite episodes, dissect various characters' story arcs as they unfold throughout the show, and reveal tons of spoilers for a show that is coming up on thirteen years old! ...And maybe also mention that film that came out that one time. Yeah. 

This episode features Andrew again, our resident A:TLA expert and a fan of 2% milk.
