Yahtze-wait! Wrong game! Hello listeners! Grab your dice and player mats because our darling kill-a-thon continues with a pick from Michael! Our day one ride or die is checking in with a classic from his youth, Jumanji. We're going board, not video, games here as we look back at the Robin Williams vehicle. Arthur finally, finally, gets to nerd out about board games and conversations of representation, while we also talk guns in media, imperialism, and much, much more! The pieces are moving us closer to the analysis table as we discuss Jumanji! Tune in now! Thank you again to our Patreon supporters, if you would like to know more head over to Patreon.com/GTM.
