S2E4 - IV: Bigger Fish But In Space (Rogue One)

Thu, 09 Jan 2020 13:53:16 -0000

This is where the numbering system we tried to be clever with for season two goes off the rails!!!

It's Shawn watches Rogue One time! This episode was recorded at a time back in early November. Before the trailer for TROS even dropped. Back when the drama of the week was people hating on Rogue One for some reason.

Here's a whole ass episode about why we love this goddamn movie instead!!! We talk about cinematography! The story! The emotion! The cool ass diverse cast! And so on and so forth! Roman talks about why several moments make him bawl without fail in the last act!

Hosts in this episode: Shawn, Roman.

Welcome to Season 2 of the High Ground Cast!!! We're back with a new cohost and a new premise! Since The Rise Of Skywalker is coming VERY SOON, we decided it was time for Shawn to finally watch these good, goog movies!

Join us as we theorize on Boss Nass's VSCO status, discuss the logistics of podracing, cool star wars fights, Force Jesus and, somehow, toxic fandom. Because it wouldn't be us if we didn't insult a toxic group for their bullshit. Anyway hope you enjoy this!!!

We Play D&D! Pilot for our new Podcast!

Mon, 05 Mar 2018 05:24:50 -0000

Episode 1: Oh Deer

Hey, do you like DnD? Do you wanna listen to a couple idiots attempt to survive in a fantasy like environment? Well, we have a podcast for you!!! Well, eventually. If the reception is good. Here's to hoping this sounds as good as I hope it does, editing this one was a doozy.

In this episode, Dem Boiz (a party consisting of a Dragonborn Druid, a Dragonborn Cleric, a Half-elf Bard, an Elf Sorcerer and a Tiefling Paladin... jesus this is a big party) go shopping. A dumb druid boi willingly walks into a trap and almost dies, and some bard that's really not too fond of spiders.

PSA: The names Gandy and Legion were not inspired by the Adventure Zone in any way. I (Roman) am the only one aware of TAZ and when they created the character sheets I may have had a slight panic attack when I realized that it could be seen as a bad.

Hosts featured in this episode: Adish, Holger, Jesse, Kevin, Shawn, Roman
