What's good, homies! We're back with another Lazy Bird to share some updates on our lives and thoughts on what we've been listening to, playing, and watching. It's been a busy end to our summer as PALMREADER celebrated his birthday and Otis went to work at Comic Con again. We discuss his time at the convention, the fallout of continental breakfasts, the recent flood of AI-generated waifu vendors, why they shouldn't be allowed to sell at comic conventions, the ethical use of AI, and more. Plus, we're heading to the cottage to pretend that the world isn't on fire. How exciting!
Then, we talk about some stuff that we've been watching. Otis has been on a Darren Aronofsky kick after seeing his latest movie, "Caught Stealing," so we discuss his filmography and style with a particular focus on "The Wrestler", "Noah", and "Black Swan". We also discuss the star of "Caught Stealing", Austin Butler, and his career thus far (including his link-up with our guy Action Bronson). He also puts PALMREADER onto a Korean action film called "The Villainess," which apparently rips. PALMREADER has been watching Noah Hawley's "Alien: Earth" and is 1000% in on it. He explains what makes this show excellent and makes a passionate plea for Otis to check it out. Plus, "Mandy" still rips, and we talk about it.
Following this, we talk about Marvel's "Thunderbolts*" and why it is one of the best Marvel movies in a long time. Both Otis and PALMREADER thoroughly enjoyed it for a variety of reasons, from the performances to the villain to the tone. Yo, Feige, make more like this. Shake things up. Break the cycle. We also discuss Florence Pugh's performance, the anthropomorphized form of murderous depression being the true villain of the film, Marvel villains being habitually lacklustre, not needing to see everything else to enjoy and understand the film, the future of the MCU, and Jake Schreier being tapped to reboot the X-Men.
Then, we talk about video games for once! Wow! There are so many dope games coming out. Due to being so busy lately, we're just trying to catch up, but PALMREADER has been playing "Kingdom Come Deliverance 2" and is living his best medieval life. He discusses what they improved upon and made more palatable when compared to the first game, why he loves it, and what makes it such a deep and engaging RPG.
There's a bunch more ranting and raving in the episode for you to enjoy, so tap in with us and catch up with your favourite Bird Boys.
We’ll be back after our trip to the cottage!
