The series with the magic item home shopping network is amazing.

Yes. Also due to free time, climate change, a global swing towards fascism, and the fact that I find all children unpleasant to be around.

Shadow Madness on PS1. Unlikable characters, incoherent story, bad graphics, and boring gameplay. It was like someone drew a better JRPG from memory.

Turnwise and widdershins

 

Not to flood the community, but several people seemed to like the last one. So here's another taste of bardcore, this time a collab from two of the greats.

Oh buddy, you're in for a treat if you like this and you're just getting started. Everything on Hildegard's channel is pretty fantastic.

There's also a sub-category where they actually sing in old languages, like this cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit in classical latin.

 

I fuckin' love bardcore, and Hildy is the godsdamned QUEEN!

A haunting medieval style cover of NIN's classic, Hildegard's version seems to tell the tale of a regretful immortal crushed under the weight of outliving everyone they connect with.

And a question for the comments, any interest in a possible c/bardcore community? Or is there one my search missed?

Legit thought it was an owlbear for a second.

That's 100% Gurgi, from The Black Cauldron.

I have a thing for anthology movies. A few small stories with connected themes or settings rather than one long story.

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, Sin City, History of the World Part 1, Creepshow, and Heavy Metal are all great examples.

I've seen that one in my podcast app, but my backlog is still so long. Might be good for nights that I just want to zonk right out though.

The thing I like most about LeVar Burton Reads is that it's basically Reading Rainbow with the occasional "fuck" thrown in there.

And yeah, Tim Harford's smooth voice is a much-needed balance to the anxiety inducing content of Cautionary Tales.

 

I read the lyrics for this on reddit a few years back, and just learned there was a recording. Would be great for for a bard doing an adventure at the Yawning Portal.

If you liked Norsemen, I'd say give Plebs a try. It's another historical sitcom, about a group of losers in ancient Rome.
