On the Tropes EP1: Breaking the Fourth Wall
Hey tropers!
We're headed all the way back to Episode 1 of On The Tropes to get the blogspot caught up. You can check out the most recent episodes in the links at bottom of this post.
In this one we talked about the Fourth Wall and what it means to break it. Topics included Shakespeare to Dora the Explorer, Hot Tub Time Machine, and Pixar outtakes.
Top 5 Breaking The Fourth Wall Moments: This list had everything from comics to cartoons, Oscar winners and cult classics.
Tropesvial Pursuit: The guys played a trivia game with a chance for the audience to participate.

I, For One, Welcome Our New On The Tropes Overlords
Dear fans, listeners, party people, foreign dignitaries, and John,
The Beast Duel has been around roughly a decade now. It went from kids bullshitting about sharks and wolves in an Akron coffee shop to this very blog for years. Last fall, it became an underground, renegade podcast, prolific and ahead of its time the way Van Gogh was.
But the times are a-changin'. This isn't to say the Beast Duel is gone. It's being rebuilt, stronger, like the Six Million Dollar Man.
We're making changes; we've teamed up with tvtropes.org, an online community that have helped movie nerds delve deep into the rabbit holes of storytelling conventions for years. The new show, On the Tropes, will be more of what you loved about the Beast Duels Radio Hour; film discussion, top 5 lists, and Beast Duels.
You can keep checking right here for the written word of our own Dedwin Hedon, Eva Destruction, Cir L'Bert Jr, and other guest writers.
But most importantly, what these changes mean are the things you've loved about Beast Duels are growing; we're building a community. So stick with us, it's gonna be fuckin bananas.
So as always, stay safe, and for chrissake, don't get bit.
And watch the fuck out for Krampus (Krampus!)
Watch yourselves,
Nick
