We are your fantasy hosts three - Jamie, Cassidy, and Jack - and we take a philosophical and humorous approach to discussing fantasy movies and other media. We are all lifelong scholars, who love to analyze the media we consume, but can't help joking around as well, because we are also silly people at heart. On Swords & Satire we review both classic and modern fantasy movies and media, and take an in depth look at the themes, scenes and lore within each one. We highlight the epic moments and features of each film, and treat them with the respect they deserve, taking each one as seriously as a piece of art. We also release mini episodes every other week, in which we act out a humorous skit about the movie we previously discussed. Sometimes we just need that extra avenue to get out our creative ideas. And sometimes we even discuss fantasy games or novels! Listen in wherever you get your podcasts to hear our witticisms, nerdy banter, and love for all things fantasy!
