9ES is back at full strength to talk about comics, movies and video games old and new like Mickey 17, Dune 2, Street Fighter 2: Turbo, Mortal Kombat 2 and of course the appointment of our new Prime Minister Mark Carney.

I think we talk about The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl once every 10 episodes or so and with good reason. She’s such a weird part of the Marvel Universe that is pretty much delightful every time. Honestly if you’re a fan of Marvel weirdness you should do yourself a favour and check out Marvel’s Squirrel Girl: The Unbeatable Radio Show! It’s only a handful of episodes and well worth your time.
 
You know what’s maybe not worth your time? The latest from Bong Joon-Ho “Mickey 17”. Mickey 17, frankly, is a movie with too many ideas. I will always have time for people making weird movies and even more so when they’re high profile. A recent Oscar winning director and Batman himself teaming up to make a weird movie about space exploration and printing out expendable humans should be my jam but it fell a little flat. Apparently it’s coming out as early as next week on streaming so maybe you’ll have the chance to judge for yourself sooner than later.
 
Anyways – over on Garbage Time, the gang reminisces about what it was like to wake up hungover in unfamiliar parts of Montreal and figuring out how to get home on public transport in the era before smartphones. We’ve also watched a couple of indie horror flicks like One Cut of the Dead and Companion and a few podcast recommendations for sleepytime listening. If you would like to show your support and head over to Patreon and subscribe at the 9ES Deluxe tier to listen to this and all past episodes of Garbage Time that would be appreciated.
