Resumen del Editor

Master Lecture Series: History of the Third Robot War is a future history lecture so epic it will knock your digital socks off! In this satirical Audible Original that turns The Great Courses on its head, Professor Tirannous Rexavier Shepard guides you through the multiverse-shattering events of the war, from the opening "pyew pyews" through Le Battle Finale. Master Lecture Series pays homage to the Sci-Fi and Fantasy genres with gut-busting (and circuit-bending) whimsy. 

Recent Cutbacks takes parody and pop culture seriously. The company fuses humor, nostalgia, and lo-fi spectacle to create imaginative theatrical and digital comedy. Known for its hit shows Hold On To Your Butts; Fly, You Fools!; KEVIN!!!!! and Next Day Thrones, Recent Cutbacks has played to sold out audiences in New York City, Chicago, Indianapolis and more places across the US.

Dear Listener,

What should you expect to learn from this lecture series?
"A recent study found that listening to this lecture series made students 10,000% smarter. That's right: 10,000%. That's because in this lecture series, you'll learn about robots; you'll learn about dinosaurs fighting in space; you'll learn about Viviendorf the Chosen One's quest to find the Understated Fork. You'll hear both Organic and Android guest lecturers of all species, vegetable, animal, and mineral. You'll hear poetic excerpts from the writing of Shakespearus Aurus and examine the paintings of Anonymous Borscht. Seriously, Professor Tirannous Rexavier Shepard spared no expense making this lecture series, using the latest technological innovations in a capella underscoring and vocal sfx. So if you want to be 10,000% smarter in just six hours, listen to Master Lecture Series: History of the 3rd Robot War!" –Recent Cutbacks, creator of Master Lecture Series: History of the 3rd Robot War

If you like silly humor you'll like this

I thought it was pretty good just a bunch of made up craziness to kill 6 hours and there was actually some story to it but yeah I liked it

Mildly Amusing

The narration and acting were good. Reminded me of radio shows. I had to spend a credit to listen to it, though. I probably won't listen again, tbh.

Loved this oddball book

This is fun lighthearted junk food for you brain. What starts out as a miner border dispute turns into a battle for all of existence. Full of just about every cheesy sci-fi cliche out there.

A fun listen with laugh out loud moments.

I didn't expect to enjoy this as much as I did. A fun few hours with great, some time ridiculous moments, that you can't help but laugh loud enough for every body around you to hear.

Wow.. I am definitely going to buy their next book

This book is good. Voicing acting is also good, so are the sound effects.. It has strong charm.. I don't dare say. More about the story.. But it is nice and entertaining. There references everywhere spanning different movies and other things. Things a person would only get or understand if they saw them or remember the scenes from which they came. I encourage everyone to give it a try.. It's easy to spoil so I dont dare speak much about i.

lots of campy fun

full of tropes and cheesy satire , a good fun listen. I was particularly fond of how effective it was to have the narrative framed as a lecture series , it worked really well for this.

Entertaining enough

I enjoyed this. I was a bit disappointed by how derivative the story was in places, but I really liked the framing of the story as a history audio lecture and there were many clever parts. Give it a go.

Cheesy yet True

The world is somehow a collection of blatant knockoffs and sincere. Things connect in ways that seem organic, and while the story of Olivia is rather... normal. The presentation of the setting, and the depth in how the world works makes it still exciting. You dont need to roll your eyes at Chosen ones when you got a cosmic tuning fork.
