Roleplay Retcon remakes the movies that let you down using tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGS), soundtracks by indie bands, and lots of goofy writers' room jokes. Professional writer Benjamin Gray, Theatre sensei Jensie, and RPG expert/comedian/cinephile Alex invite a new guest, feature a new band, and play a new roleplaying or storytelling game for each bad movie.

Ben and Jensie play It Takes This Long, a Roleplay Retcon original TTRPG, to remake the 1998 Harrison Ford/Anne Heche desert island adventure Six Days, Seven Nights.

Senior employee space case Stew, new hire and lifelong nerd Dash Starkiller, and the sensitive part timer Rose are all looking for the store's cat, which is missing on the most important day of the year, the day a minor celebrity comes to Empire Records and boosts their sales. That celebrity is Denise Leary, a formerly famous singer songwriter who got caught up in a plagiarism scandal years ago. The missing cat isn't the only disaster; Dash has broken a faucet that threatens to flood the store, and the uptight GLAG organization is putting pressure on the community to boycott Empire Records.

This is very hot.

Friends, we have so much recorded, but unfortunately none of it is The Spirit, so this week we're hosting an episode of Tales Yet Told, an actual play podcast GMed by our new friend Kendo, who will play the eponymous character in our upcoming remake of The Adventures of Pluto Nash!
Tales Yet Told is an Award-Winning, Indie TTRPG actual play podcast and multi-media production group, run by a stunning lineup of primarily LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC cast-members and friends who are dedicated to telling weird and fun stories full of imagination, thoughtful characterization, and inclusivity. This is the first episode of the Strangers in the Woodsseries, a surreal and nostalgic story about Little Troublemakers struggling to survive and escape the terrifying forest world Sublime while being hunted by the mysterious Lord of this world: The Stranger. Kendo and company play Babes in the Woods by World Champ Game Co., a Powered By The Apocalypse game inspired by Over the Garden Wall.

Meanwhile, The Spirit's number 2 baddie, Dr. Cobra, is conducting his own investigation (in a somber, but gorgeous Maxi gown) to make sure he isn't next on the killer's list. The dulcet-voiced Sand Serif comes calling on her old friend The Spirit, hoping to get his help in tracking down a mysterious item in The Octopus's possession...

Frankly, there hasn't been a good film adaptation Gaston Leroux's early 20th century novel Le Fantôme de l'Opéra,a.k.a. The Phantom of the Opera.Andrew Lloyd Weber's musical is good, but it's also a far walk from the original book, which is an absolute banger and hilarious to boot (and the 2004 Joel Schumacher movie was panned by both critics and Phantom fans alike). So, Jensie has decided we're not remaking just one movie, but all of them!
That's not the only wild choice we've made: We'll be telling our story using the TTRPG Kids on Bikes, except with no kids and no bikes, just to prove how flexible this game actually is. In this episode we'll go over Kids on Bikes and introduce our characters: Special Guest Remick from Tales From the Forgotten Troupeplays the up-and-coming Opera Diva Christine Daaé, Alex is the well-mannered and romantic Viscount Raoul de Chagny and Ben is... someone we don't know much about, yet. |

In the world of Bad Movies, nobody can touch Paul Verhoeven's and Joe Eszterhas's Showgirls. Because they're not allowed to. The foremost scholar on this movie is our friend and host of the DrunkGeekGirls podcast, Stacey Krakus, and she joins us on our journey to process our very awkward feelings and try to clean the monkey poop off the stage.
"Goddess" from the Showgirls soundtrack by Dave Stewart.

It's wrap party time for Dungeons & Dragons! The champagne is dwindling, the guests are trickling out, and we sit in our mansion's drawing room to while away the evening asking our favorite questions: What did we think of the 2000 Dungeons & Dragons movie? Did we succeed in improving it? Does this mansion have any secret tunnels?

Ridley, Elwin, and Mervin descend into the Antius City Thieves' Guild Maze (ACTGM) sans Snails to begin their search for the Dragon's Eye. Mervin comes prepared to cheat the maze with magic, only to find that it's less "labyrinth" and more "Labyrinth (1986)," although this one doesn't have David Bowie and wants to kill them real bad.

Will Elwin find the spicy life she craves? Will Mervin be able to change into un-sewered robes, finally? Will Ridley make yet another new friend? Yes, No, and Maybe, but you have to guess which!

The man in the back says "everyone attack!" and it turns into a bar room blitz! The flimsy twine of fate has bound Mervin, Elwin, Ridley, and Snails together so far; will it snap when swords are drawn and spells are slung?

Yass, henny! The inaugural episode of our remake of the 2000 Dungeons & Dragons movie covers about the first 17 minutes of the original film, so we might want to pick up the pace after this one. Still, there's a lot in that 17 minutes: Heists, ever-morphing British accents, the eponymous dragons, betrayal, treasure, murder, mayhem, and mage hand!

Also, if you're new to D&D, come listen to series Director Alex conduct the crashiest of courses. This series features Kim from the Chaotic Goodness podcast! This series features music by Myuu!
