We break the story of Heaven Heist, in preparation for writing the script, scene by scene, every week!

Doctor Mario goes to college!? Also, the Story Boys have a big announcement about the future of Story Break.

Atari's Breakout has been begging for a 200 million dollar blockbuster ever since it was released in 1976. Well, 33 years later, 3, 30 somethings, take 3 times 20 minutes to finally break a story worthy of the arcade masterpiece.

We forgo our usual descent into wikipedia, to instead, dive into the wild world of WOOKIEEPEDIA! The #1 source for all things Star Wars. Will the Story Boys be able to craft an intelligible story from 3 random Star Wars articles? Can they craft a mystery so compelling that Hercule Poirot himself would be pulling out his notepad? You don't have to be the world's greatest detective to answer that question. They do... Or do they?

We tackle another one of the internet's great mystery. Who is the lovable creature known as Geedis? Who will rule The Land of Ta? Can milk power starships? Find out in this groovy episode of Story Break!

Whats the story behind the big guys in all those action movies? You know the ones. They're 7 feet tall. Don't talk. Often bald. The hero always hurts their fist trying to punch them. The villains talk down to them and disrespect them. But they must have their own wants and dreams, right?

Freddie has not slept. Matt is late because of his new baby. And Will desperately tries to update Shakespeare for a modern, butt-wiping audience.

We try to make a classic Gothic Romance from our vague memories of this pre-Titanic Leo flick. It's not quite as sexy a movie as we remember.

The Earth is FLAT... and it's up to Bryce and Slarlar of the Darksiders to save their races and inflate Earth with the magma from the Necrosun! Thank you to Bryce for the suggestion this week!

Forget about comic books - what if EVERY Disney IP merged together for gigantic multi-feature series? We attempt to visualize what this fan fest might look like! Note: NO Avengers Endgame spoilers here (because we all hadn't seen it yet). Warning: This episode contains Freddie's very bad interpretation of a Cajun? French accent? We're still unsure.

Beth May (@heybethmay) joins us as we pair the adjective "Bad" with a randomly generated profession, ala Bad Santa, Bad Moms, Bad Lieutenant, etc.!
