It's week 2 of our J-Halloween Same Same Same, Different Different Different series. This week we look at the US and Japanese versions of The Grudge. We also talk about another Japanese film, Audition.
This week we review the J-Horror classic Ringu and compare it to the US remake, The Ring.
This week, Ben and Mike dive into the world of cinematic remakes with a side-splitting episode of Same Same Same, Different Different Different. We take a look at the serious 1957 disaster drama Zero Hour and its iconic comedic remake Airplane! from 1980. Join us as we compare the two films, laugh at the parallels, and explore how one story became two wildly different films. It's a classic pairing of tension and hilarity, with plenty of laughs and film trivia along the way!
This week we welcome back a friend of the show and talk about game genre's who we try to avoid. As usual Mike has a lot on the topic.
Is a heist movie considered a con-artist movie? Well technically no but since we didn't know when we picked the film and it's so good we let it go. This week we look at A Fish Called Wanda which proves why it's classic. Catch Me If You Can is also reviewed and it's a bit of mixed reaction from Mike because of his past. That and they talk a bit about Scott Pilgrim vs The World, the game and the movie. What if the main character of your movie/game is an ass? Do you still want to watch the film or play the game?
We continue our movie reviews of con-artist movies with Conival week 2. Opportunity Knocks and Trading Places are looked at. Are they good or just conning us?
This week it's men vs women, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels vs Heartbreakers. The 80s classic vs a movie designed to show off Jennifer Love Hewitt. Also someone tried again to take out Donald Trump.
This week we look at games we like that most people never even heard of.
Our last week of this round of movie reviews. We dive into For Yur Height Only a Bond parody that just comes up short. We also talk about a remake of Alfred Hitchcock's classic, the Birds. Made for the poultry sum of 10 grand, it's Birdemic.
Is gaming healthy? Or is it harmful? Mike's Review Corner is back! And they boys review Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding, the original Baywatch movie.
It's another couple movie reviews, this time we do both Super Mario Movies, not counting the Japanese only animated film. We do Bob Hopkins, Dennis Hopper, and John Laguizamo in 1993's Super Mario Bros. but before that we talk about Jack Black, Seth Rogan, and others in 2023's The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Which is better, well if you have no idea check this episode out. It's super.
It's a battle of the baddies. Ben picked The Room, while Mike picked Pixels. Did Ben hate Pixels? Did Mike like The Room? Find out
We go back to movies this week with two bad films, one worse than the other. The Bond parody, Unmasking The Idol is Ben's pick and Mike's pick is Cool As Ice, starring Vanilla Ice.
This week we do a pair of movie reviews. First we look at the cult classic Stay Tuned, then we talk about Noise Off!. Both movies star John Ritter, hence the title of the episode. Sit on your Napper Crapper, grab some sardines, and join the movement.
This week the boys talk about games sequels where your super powered hero from the previous game has to be brought back down to size. Also Ben's adventure at the game store is not a PC discussion. Almost skipped this episode.
We couldn't wait to get another episode done. So while we just released one, here's another one. Breaking news about PSN, Ben talks WWE, and just some odds and ends.
We finish off our rundown of Zelda games and also go over Den of Geek's rundown of the top 30 first person shooters of all time. Will the boys agree or disagreee with DOG's picks?
Ben checks out the Japanese version Voltron, and they talk about languages and regional differences in cartoons. Enjoy this bonus and next week we wrap up Zelda.
This week the boys talk about Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles, Ben reviewed some games and movies, and for some reason they seem to be in the same room yet they claim they aren't. What's going on here?
