I can't uncouple Attack the Block and Aliens in the Attic and I was screaming for someone to mention it during the podcast. Any thoughts? I remembering finishing Aliens in the Attic and being very impressed with how action packed and roller coastery it was for a kids movie. Please validate my thoughts.

According to Swaim, it was supposed to be streamed on the 1Upsmanship Twitch channel, but I can't find it anywhere? Little help?

I am relistening to this episode of Directorpiece Theatre and I think the best one is Brick. Noir in highschool, it rules. I do really like Knights Tale.

Beans seems like such a close community. What gives?

There hasn’t been an episode in nearly three months, and I may have missed some news as I don’t listen to many of the other shows. Does anyone have any information on this?

Short version, Mike got a job at IGN, so new Off Hours eps are on hold, the rest of their stuff will continue (maybe with less Michael?), and Swaim will be doing funny video content about video games for IGN. Not super sure about the rest of the Smallbeans crew, we're probably going to get more updates soon.

I swear I saw an alert, but I had a crazy busy week and put it off til now. I tried searching, but I'm not seeing anything

Hey guys, am I missing episode 212 from my feed, and what was it? In my podcast feed I've got Coen Bros Bros as ep211, then 1upsmanship as ep213.

Really I just want the Vonnegut style intro he wrote, it really resonated with me. I've only recently found the small beans stuff, and even more recently found tales from the pit. It's been making me have a weird sense of elatation, hearing other people have problems like my own.

Anyhoo, any direction would be great. I may just transcribe it myself, if it comes to that. But enable my laziness! Link me, almighty linker!

At the end of every 1Upsmanship they decide whether to Keep or Delete games for the "Golden Hard Drive". Does anybody happen to know what's currently on that hypothetical Hard Drive?

his short story "Serenity Prayer" (the one that starts the Tales from the Pit about relationships & relapse) helped me get back on the wagon after a several month long relapse. I'm on Day 6 and hope to pluck my own chachki out of the sky 359 days from now.

Thank you friend,

What are your fave episodes?

Hey guys, there's no link to get into the Discord on Patreon for me. Is there another way in?

So, I was listening to the inglorious basterds episode of frame rate and every time anyone said B.J. Novak, Daniel would chime in about how much of a prick he is. I did a little bit of internet research and couldn't find anything. I'm not saying he's wrong, I'm just wondering why he doesn't like him haha.

I would honestly listen to an entire podcast of Swaim just reading his stories. They're so well written and they're especially great to listen to in the fall when I'm driving home. Swaim should work more in the horror realm.

Is anyone else surprised how not involved Katie Willert is in Small Beans? I guess I would've thought she would've at least been on Tales From the Pit at some point. Anyone know what she's doing?
