Yes, Christmas is just around the corner. Not only do you get a brand new episode of The Flickcast this week but next week it’s Christmas and you get a visit from Santa, assuming you’re on the “good” list and not the “naughty” one. No judgements either way, though. You do you.
On this week’s show Chris and Joe are joined by guest Dave Caolo of the Home Work podcast and Table Top Hero to talk about working at home, ways to ensure mindfulness during these stressful times, Dungeons & Dragons and a whole bunch of other cool stuff. And yes, they also manage to talk about the recent Warner Bros./HBO Max announcement and some of the recent Star Wars and Marvel announcements and what they might all mean.
The trio also offer a few last minute gift ideas for those of you who’ve waited to get that special someone in your life, well, something special. You know who you are.
It was a lot of stuff to cover. In fact, they really didn’t have time get into all of it so on next week’s show Chris and Joe will go deeper into all the announcements, what next year in entertainment and pop culture might look like and some of their favorite things from 2020. Yes, 2020 wasn’t all bad. Look for that episode soon.
In the meantime, though, sit back and relax and enjoy this week’s episode of The Flickcast. It’s a good one.
Thanks for listening.

We all know and love the work of Robot Chicken creators Seth Green and Matt Senreich, even when they detoured from their regular antics of playing with MEGO dolls to produce a meh claymation VOLTRON spoof in Titan Maximum. But now they’re finally doing something that both kids and adults can get behind, as they make fun of the easy target of George Lucas and his galaxy far, far away.
Star Wars: Detours seems like a mesh of the animation style of Clone Wars meets the comedic writing and even voice talent of Robot Chicken with appearances by Seth MacFarlane, Breckin Mayer, Seth Green of course, and a few more along the way.
Take a look at the sizzle reel below, originally made for the Star Wars Celebration, and expect to see more from the guys as the show ramps up production for a “mid-2013” release. May the Schwartz be with you.

Since Hpnotiq’s release party a few years ago, a popular drink rising up on the club scene has been the Incredible Hulk. Created in Sean Combs’ New York restaurant, Justin’s, this became one of the first popular superhero inspired drinks. Years ago, no one ever would have uttered the names of comic book characters or sci-fi movies in a popular nightlife hotspot. It was just unheard of. But now with the acceptance of geek culture becoming mainstream, these kinds of drinks are on the rise.

The Incredible Hulk
Much to the delight of guests at the Hilton Bayfront at this year’s San Diego Comic Con, the hotel decided to cater to this rising trend, coming up with their own customer drinks for convention goers and we at The Flickcast were lucky enough to snag one of their recipe charts to share with you.
Some of these are very specific calling for name brand products but most can be substituted for a similar alcohol.
Drinks for the Kids (Non-Alcoholic, obviously)
“Muggle Juice” inspired by Harry Potter
Strawberries, fresh mint, lime, ginger syrup, fill with Soda – served in a highball (8 oz.) or Collins (12 oz.) glass
“Yoda’s Swamp Water” inspired by Star Wars
Cucumber, fresh mint, fill with ginger beer – served in a highball or Collins glass
Martinis
“Golden Lasso” inspired by Wonder Woman
