The final episode for Season 1 is upon us and we’re getting loose! To cap the official season off were continuing our epic retelling of Jason and the Argonauts as they quest for the legendary golden fleece. Your host Patrick and his best mate, Nicholas, soldier on through this colossal tale. Jason and his crew have fought off the formidable Birds of Ares on the Island of Ares, and now face some shabby looking dudes. We’ve got a bit of backstory, some lost grandchildren, questionable plans of gods and humans, and an incoming love shaft. All that and much, much more ramblings in this continuation of Jason and the Argonauts.

After a couple of episodes, we jump back into the epic telling of the tale of Jason and the Argonauts. Jason and his comrades have had a bit of false start to their quest to find the legendary Golden Fleece but still have their eyes on the prize. We have ridiculous abandonments, a boxing match to the death, a battle against some stinky harpies, and a blind prophet who just cannot stop prophesizing. Join your host Patrick and his guest, Nicholas, for this, and a whole lot more in this third instalment in the story of Jason and the Argonauts.

We reach our climax in the remarkable story of Shuten Doji. The demon lord who blacks out every time he drinks has our heroes in is inner sanctum for a bit of a party. However, Raiko and his crew still have a mission and now is the time to show that the emperor rightly put his faith in them to rescue the unnamed women abducted by Shuten Doji and his demon buddies.
We have cannibalism, divine assistance, an unnecessary back story, a strange theory about brewing liquor, and a look back at the sleeping arrangements at Jabba's palace. Join Patrick and Matthew as they conclude the tale of Shuten Doji.
