Mixed Bag of Holding: Netflix's The Witcher (Full Season Review)

Comments

Listening to this in the year of our gourd 2023 when the show has just fallen apart completely and I have to wonder what Murph thinks of it now 🥲

Bob Ross chill Murph needs to show up more often, I almost died laughing!

Steven Powers

It's probably something that got mentioned somewhere many years ago, but the guy that plays Jaskier makes music professionally along with someone else as The Amazing Devil, and they are truly fantastic on a vibe similar to some of Emily's music.

The first time I heard about the Jill tucker thing was the first time I watched a "Hardwon's Painting party" and I legit was in shock because his delivery was so deadpan 😂 I wasn't for sure it was a joke for like 3 weeks.

Jaskier is Polish for "buttercup." Apparently the folks who translated the books felt "Buttercup" didn't quite hit the mark for the character in English, so they localized it as "Dandelion" to keep the feel.

Keith Kelly

I watched the entire season of The Witcher just so I can listen to this episode. No "Ragrets"

I would definitely agree with that for their podcast characters and Murph as DM. 🖖🔥

Caldwell = Air Bender Emily = Water Bender (Swamp variant) Jake = Fire/Earth Bender (Lava variant) Murph = Earth Bender (Metal variant)

If Murph were to be anything in Avatar, it would be the cabbage salesman.

@murph you gotta watch avatar dude! One of the greatest shows ever! The ideas represented work so well for dnd too

Daniel Stewart

The Crabster snaps back!

Adam Pearce

I am a little salty that they have such high praises for The Witcher (which is deserved) but razz so hard on the Warcraft movie.

Talbert Tso

I'm bummed that Vilgefortz is a turncoat, 'cause it's so easy for POC to be coded as bad guys, but also because that actor is hot as hell.

Katy Tacik

Rose for Caldwell bringing up ATLA. I can absolutely see Emily as a water bender. Murph and Caldwell as earth benders. And Jake, the honourable role of Cabbage vendor.

Little one

Avatar is a masterpiece. Murph needs to watch it.

Darth_Xionn

Caldwell = Water Bender Emily = Earth Bender Jake = Fire Bender Murph = Air Bender

BlurryVizion

LOL at signs. When people say they’re a water sign or fire, etc. they’re talking about their zodiac signs (astrology). Alternatively you can talk about Chinese zodiac, and each one also has its own element depending on the year. Ex. 1988 = earth dragon, I think 1986 is fire tiger fwiw.

As a janitor I wish someone had a quest for me when they say are you a janitor but no someone just spilled their chips

Travis Butcher

I loved all of the 8BBC energy this Mixed Bag

Devin Awe

So cool! He even posted on there that there should be an Oscar for best supporting horse!

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

Emily needs to follow Cavill on IG, he posts updates about his training with the horses that play Roach

Leslie Cedeño

Jaskier was the original polish name that basically means yellow flower

Sawyer Rogers

Chill Murph made me lol at my desk. I'm with you Jake, that was uncomfortable.

Brian Jones

For the next bag of holding could you watch the ORIGINAL Witcher? It’s a polish film made in 2001 called The Hexer :p

frazninja

Hey guys, great mixed bag! I think Jaskier was named as such because it is the Polish for Dandelion, which is of course the native language of the original writer :) Also, please watch Avatar, air bender series Murph (not the film), it is an absolute brilliant piece of narrative!

Jenn Richards

OH my god, Murph you would LOVE the last air bender. I can't believe you haven't seen it!!

Maddy96

Next bag of holding should definitely be Avatar: The Last Airbender!!

The Djin 3 wishes for tonic joke was great

Frankenjam

Agreed

Frankenjam

Jake was a pinch of himself today

The Master

Gotta mixed bag the expanse. One of the best shows out right now. and the first two books I read are really great.

David Benson

I don’t even like anime a whole lot but Avatar the Last Airbender is literally the greatest story ever told. Uhhhhh (mixed) BAG IT!

Fighting Favorites - The Favorite Things Podcast!

Loved the Witcher. Watching the season twice really helped me resolve the timeline. They just recently cast the actor playing Vesemir for season 2!

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

Caldwell is an earth sign, Em & Jake are fire, and Murph is air.

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

Buffy mixed bag 2020

Crits

Please GOD watch avatar the last airbender on mixed bag

I can not be the only one who sung along with them when they started sing "Toss a Coin To Your Witcher". I could hear my husband's eyes rolling

Amy Driver

Damnit I had to pull over while listening to this. “Total Party Chill” from Caldwell broke me.

Anyone else think it's kinda crazy that murph has never seen avatar? I'd love an avatar pilot mixed bag

The sylvan guy wasnt actually CGI! It was all prosthetics! They amazed me with that.

Avatar the Last Airbender is so good. I see myself as an Earth bender personally

Dave Johnson

Also The Expanse IS SO GOOD

Adam Sutton

This is literally my entire opinion on the whole series and I’m just amazed at how y’all nailed it. Bravo. Can’t wait for the season 2 review where it’s all just basically heavy breathing.

Adam Sutton

Good show. Good podcast

Ben Delahay

Caldwell I honestly think that this "total party chill" joke is one of your greatest ever!

Garga Lenoir

Murph needs to listen to Avatar. Truly a great fantasy series.

Super on board for the fantasy done right podcast

Sawyer Rogers

Emily brought up the Expanse and after season 1 plus I think season 2 premier it lost me. Know it is a good series just lost my interest. They also bring up Buffy so now I'm wandering if they've seen Firefly and Serenity. That's one mix bag review about fantasy done right I would love to hear.

Canid

... so watch the show? They talk about the Witcher all the time on the short rests, get with it lol.

Bobby Capella

I really don't mean to "Um, actually.." you but it means Buttercup in Polish. Very much same energy though

Edi Javoric

I am so bummed right now. I’m sure a lot of people are happy, but I kinda paid for the boobs to recap a show I did not watch. It was mildly funny...but considering I had no point of reference since I didn’t watch the show...it was disappointing.

All Pulp! No Juice!

Jaskier in Polish means Dandelion and The Witcher series was originally written in Polish

Michael Shelley

You are all Chaotic Evil with various excuses. My Lawful Good Cleric judges you.

Taylor Schult

This is a blessed day
