2026/03/04

Well hello there! It’s a quick and dirty episode of The Stage Select this week, as you can tell from the title. That’s because we recorded this a day early and I edited it like this was a celebrity-hosted podcast. Which is to say I didn’t edit it at all, so I don’t remember what exactly we talked about, or have time stamps for you this week.I know we talked about video games, because duh. And some movies because we’re halfway to being a movie podcast I guess? Oh, and Absolute Batman. I remember that

See you live, very soon!Special thanks to Mike Fallek: https://bigweasellilweasel.club/Special thanks

Julian told me to write the show notes for this week’s episode, but I am not allowed on stage during the show, so I am not aware what they discussed.

Which makes me a little sad, but at least it’s better than
