   Dungeons & Dragons - Featuring Michael Silver

   After thousands of hours of campaigns, adaptations, video games and more Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves finally cracked it as a mainstream film offering that didn’t play like Jeremy Irons trapped in a nightmare about a PS2 generated dragon. Michael Silver joins us to delve into everything D&D in a tight half an hour where we still have time to detour into discussing: The Truman Show, Free Guy, The Witcher and Critical Role.
