Mike and Conor cover an absolutely thrilling stretch of Armada in this episode. Hold your breath because we’re about to discuss all of this: not one but TWO phone contact exchanging scenes, not one but TWO briefings in a large auditorium, and to cap it all off: an EULA acceptance scene!!!
We’ll also explore some of the unintentional comedy in the book, fail miserably in identifying fan fic or real, and shatter the world record for use of the word “Clineian”.
Your assignment for next week: read up to Chapter 16, page 205 in our version.
We have t-shirts now! They are available here. Shirt designs by Lucas Antoniak, whose work is here.
Conor wrote a novel! It’s better than Armada! Buy it here.
Check out our 2018 RiffTrax Kickstarter. We’ll be announcing stretch goals soon and there’s one our listeners may be particularly excited about…

Is it bad that I don’t remember what an “ATHID” is, yet don’t really care enough to go back and look it up?
On my Twitter account, I set my location as “The Lesser Chicagoland Area.”
Anyway, I appreciate the amount of detail you share in these podcasts, because I can’t bring myself to keep reading. I’m already concerned as to what it must be doing to my library permanent record. (Which I’m sure must exist nowadays.)
In case you haven’t seen the movie poster for RPO yet:

Basically perfect; the book is nothing but an endless series of geek references, might as well rip off a bunch of other movie posters to promote the movie…
I imagine the slowly rising cheer to be one of those now-cliched slow claps that begins any number of heartwarming cheering moments in drama movies.
