Roll for Persuasion Geek Debate: The SHOCKING D20 Roll

Welcome back to OH!CAST, where host Cal, Herward, and late-comer Graeme resurrect the fan-favorite segment: Roll for Persuasion Geek Debate! Cal welcomes back Herward (out of cryogenic sleep) to roll a D20 against 20 random geek topics. We jump straight into a high-stakes, hilarious debate where you’ll hear controversial takes on Star Trek, James Bond, and some of the biggest TV shows of all time. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who loves arguing about pop culture.

For another deep dive into the world of tabletop and language, don’t miss our conversation on the specific challenge of translating TTRPGs into Scottish Gaelic.

Best & Worst Openings in Film and TV

The D20 lands on a classic topic: Best and Worst Openings. The crew wastes no time tearing apart Star Trek: The Next Generation‘s pilot, “Encounter at Farpoint.” They call the pilot a “45-minute script made into a two-hour pilot.” Then, Herward throws a curveball by naming Roger Moore’s For Your Eyes Only as a simultaneously brilliant and terrible opening. Specifically, he discusses the infamous pre-title sequence. This sequence—designed to kill off Blofeld without naming him—features Bond dropping him down an industrial chimney. This section is a prime example of the controversial nature of the Roll for Persuasion Geek Debate.

The Last Perfect Trilogy? A Retrospective on 80s Sci-Fi

We dedicate this episode to the enduring legacy of one of the most beloved movie series of all time: the Back to the Future Trilogy Retrospective. Join the hosts as they ask whether the Robert Zemeckis/Bob Gale creation remains the last “perfect trilogy.” It has not been ruined by legacy sequels or unnecessary updates. Therefore, we celebrate the film’s broad appeal. This appeal, for example, spawned sequels, a video game, comic books, and an official musical.
