It’s a small podcast this week. Ice storms in the city means that we are down one host, but it does mean that we have some podcasting to do. We get into this week with a Scanlan resurrection, and a new obstacle for VM to face. Is the box evil, is the box benign, why […]
When will the emotional roller coaster stop? Oh geez, please let it stop, and it doesn’t look like it’s going to get any better. We have lost a Vex and we have lost a Scanlan, at least we have one of the twins back. We have to wait a whole week to see if we […]
It’s about to get down and lichy in this here lair. Vox Machina has infiltrated the ancient lair of Opash, which is now a lair of Thordak, which is now a lair of Raishan? We’re going to need to see whose name is on the lease. With Paladin in hand, we get to see some […]
It’s time to take a much needed break for Vox Machina. There’s so much to process after the fight with Raishan. Brendan and I try and make sense of everything, and we even try to figure out which character from Friends each member of VM is. I still think Keyleth is a Phoebe. Patrick Rothfuss […]
It’s the new year, which means new beginnings, sort of. Vox Machina was left in the literal dragon’s den, and things got a lil’ toasty. Brendan and I try and help make sense of all the chaos that happened. There was a lot to keep track of, a lot of feels and a lot of […]
Here it is, the holiday episode of Talking Crit. Thordak has fallen, and Emon has been saved -sort of? Vox Machina has survived, for now, and there is still a mystery to solve. Raishan is still alive, and that cave has some questions to answer. @Pettyartist on twitter has come up with a theory on […]
The last fight is upon us, the Cinder King is ready and waiting for Vox Machina. This week we look at the lead up to the fight and all the feels we’re getting over it. It’s been almost a year since this story arc launched, and we’re seeing the conclusion on the horizon. It’s been […]
Welcome back from the Thanksgiving holidays, we jumped from the frying pan into the fire with last weeks Critical Role.

It is the holiday time, which means we get to talk D&D as well as which pies are the best pies. Vox Machina has barely survived the fight with a Pit Fiend, and now they come home to Fort Daxio in ruins. The group is now armed with a vestige each, and it looks like […]
Another Thursday, another fight. Vox Machina finds itself going toe to toe with a Pit Fiend. It’s going to go down in the City of Brass, in the middle of a market. Brendan and I recap Where the Cards Fall, and look at character motivations, and Flowers for Grog. It’s going to be a heckuva […]
It’s the day after the election, and we have a lot to go over and get ready for. I fly solo as Brendan is off for the night. It’s a quicky, given how late we all stayed up. I go over the Emma Goldstein Effect, and share some stories about going off the rails in […]
Vox Machina goes into the planning phase, war is on the horizon. Does anyone know how to tell the difference between a person and an illusion? They all look alike. There are some choices to be made as VM decides between going to the fire plane, or heading to the fort to muster all their […]
The ship has set sail, we have a Perch’alia on the horizons.

There was a dragon fight! We give an ESPN like break down of the dragon/demon fight, as well as looking at the fallout from the brawl? There are only two dragons left of the Chroma Conclave, and one of them could be manipulating Vox Machina. Is Raishan going to fufill her part of the deal, […]
It’s all about trust and green dragons; one you can count on, the other is dubious at the best of times. Brendan and I start going into the layers of deception Raishan could be playing at, and how it will affect the group. Our Question of the Week is Green Dragon related, is Raishan’s […]
It is the week before Canadian Thanksgiving, and we’re being thankful for Percival still being alive. Brendan and I think it might have been closer than it seemed.

Welcome to the first podcast of Talking Crit. We’ve been kicking this idea around for a while now. A lot of the time we finish Critical Role, we need someone to talk to. We need something to help us process our feelings; because, let’s face it, the show taps into those emotions and takes them […]
