Debaser Debrief: Warhammer 40k

08/23/23 • 66 min

Will & Jared are taking a break from film for this episode to discuss a hobby very near and dear to Will's heart: The tabletop game Warhammer 40k. There are many facets of this franchise to explore, so Will guides Jared through an overview of the various editions that have released throughout the years and his history with the game. The duo also briefly discuss the various Warhammer video games, as well as their unfortunate new addiction to the mobile game Warhammer 40k: Tacticus.
Next week, Debaser returns to film with the classic samurai film Yojimbo!
Our outro for this episode is the track Acknowledge Yourself by Purrfect.
A quick disclosure regarding this episode: Will is employed by Games Workshop Group, the manufacturer of Warhammer 40k. The views expressed in this episode are his own and not those of Games Workshop.

Debaser Detour

Folks, you may have heard that there's a strike on!
In light of the recent dual WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, Debaser is taking a detour from our usual coverage as a show of solidarity. Jared gets out his soapbox and delivers what he hopes is an informative and simple overview of labor unions and the striking labor organizations' efforts to secure agreements with the major studios that run Hollywood. Then, Will & Jared discuss what the pivot means for the show and the future topics they'll be covering. Will also debriefs on his time working at the very popular GenCon from last week. Later the guys geek out about another podcast they love: Guys by Bryan Quinby.
Our outro song is Song of Healing (Alternate Mix) by SilvaGunner.

Next Episode

Yojimbo (1961)

We're back to debasing ourselves with movies!
Will and Jared discuss one of the most influential action films of all time: Akira Kurosawa's legendary samurai western Yojimbo. After a thorough recap, the duo consider the impact of the film in a modern lens, the numerous remakes and homages made to the film in the years since, and how director Kurosawa's work still puts modern directors to shame.
As we're still refraining from covering Hollywood productions during the strike in solidarity, please email us at [email protected] if you have any requests for topics or non-struck work to cover!
