Recently we found out that Rory's never seen The Thing so we decided to fix that with an extra special episode dedicated to John Carpenter's 1982 classic.
We've split the podcast into two parts: Powers' predictions before watching the film then his reaction after we watched the film together.

Hey everyone,
With RETRY: Elden Ring | Part One concluding today, we wanted to give you an update on what you can expect from RKG next.
Before we get onto that, some of you might be wondering why our Elden Ring series is being split up into three parts in the first place. We spoke about this back in July

Update - 30/1 at 18:30pm
Hey, everyone. It appears Everpress closed the store earlier than we were told.
We'll contact them and see whether it's possible to re-open orders and let you know if that's possible.
Really about the confusion!

So where were we?
A good question to ask yourself after last week's episode.
Well, we're delighted to bring you Aunty Finchy's showdown with our second shardbearer – the famed Red Lion, the Starscourge, the great General Radahn.
We suspect this is one you've been waiting for, and it's another episode we loved making.
We're so happy we get to share episodes like this with you early, because you really do let us make this show in the best way possible.

We'll be compiling these soon, so to be included you have to be on our Producer tier or above by the end of today.
If you've already been either a Producer or Posh Slug since July, your name will already be in there. Fear not.

Hey patrons,
We're so sorry. We don't know what happened this episode. For years we've spoken about losing our minds filming these episodes, and with this episode, we fear that may have finally happened.
What started off as a little idea really got away from us, and now it exists as Episode 29.
Normal service will be resumed next week.

Hey everyone,
The next episode of Roundtable Hold is due this Sunday, but we just wanted to let you know that Ep.14 is going to be released on January 28th, instead.
We didn't want you wondering if it had got lost.
This is simply because we wanted to include something that happens in the following week's episode of RETRY, which you won't yet have access to. We didn't want to spoil our own show!
So it'll be with you on Sunday, January 28th, and it's a good one!

This week Aunty Finchy journeys into the very of Aeonia to help save a young girl. What an absolute legend.
She's already got enough on her plate with finding Radahn, and making the stars turn, but she still has time to help save another soul. There's even plenty of time to explore Sellia, Town of Sorcery, too.
Enjoy the next episode of RETRY: Elden Ring early, RKG patrons!

Anyway, we hope you enjoy the final episode of Roundtable Hold for this year. We've really enjoyed making this show, and after doing it for six month...

We need to get the stars turning, and there's only way to do that: Aunty Finchy needs to track down Starscourge Radahn.
The last we heard he was in the scarlet blighted wilds of Caelid, so we're heading back to finally explore that hellish landscape. Now where would the famed Red Lion be hiding?
Enjoy the next episode of RETRY: Elden Ring. It's not a particularly festive episode, but there is lots of lovely warm fire in it.
