In a world... where justice is outlawed... The just... must become... Outlaws! We once again sit down to discuss the things that truly matter in life, like the possibility of Frodo being played by Adam Sandler and Eline having synchronized menses with Suzanne Collins. The movie Avatar comes up a lot because it was the last one we watched before recording this.

What's in a name? It turns out, quite a bit, actually. Naming characters is a big part of storytelling, especially in fantasy. We answer all your questions in this episode, such as: does Frodo in Russian mean "bipolar Rowan Atkinson"? Who is Bilbo Stevens? And what kind of wisdom is on our tea labels?

In this episode of the Storytelling Podcast, we go over different kinds of titles for books, movies, games, etcetera and how one might go about picking one. Do you put in a "The" or not? Short titles or long titles? Mysterious, cryptic ones like 'The Shadow of the Wind' or clear-cut in-your-face ones like 'Snakes on a Plane'? We also have a section on bad titles, which is where things get really fun. Get immersed in the world of irritating sticks, origami girls and 'the dude in the nude'. And learn about the least inspired movie title ever!

We love a good cliché from time to time, which is why we recorded this podcast while wearing sunglasses and walking away from a giant explosion. We made a big list of random clichés and tropes and talk about how they can be funny or charming, serve as efficient storytelling tools and sometimes also just annoy the crap out of us. We hope you'll enjoy this new episode of our STORYTELLING PODCAST!
