Sends us a comment or question! Bob had many thoughts running around their head. Jon had one specific topic consuming almost all brain power. We dig into frustrating video game patents from companies like Nintendo and Warner Brothers and break down why storytellers (including Bob) often revisit themes or arcs. While we're shooting for more weeks on than off, this is our little escape project. If you DO want more episodes more frequently share the show with your friends or on your socials, re...

Sends us a comment or question! The two most common never ending battles: home organization and entitled and out of touch gamers. With Bob's new job, our home may actually start looking like nearly thirty year old's live here. On the other hand gamers, which Jon arguably is one, are the worst, but in some incredibly nebulous ways. While we're shooting for more weeks on than off, this is our little escape project. If you DO want more episodes more frequently share the show with your friends o...

Sends us a comment or question! We've been busy and burnt out little bees over the last year, but we missed out little chats that we shared with you all so we're going back to basics and talking about what's got us excited and what we're excited for. This week we're talking about Capcom's masterful Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster and Jon's obsession with it and Bob's love of their latest TTRPG inspired comic creation, SlimeFrog. While we're shooting for more weeks on than off, this is our little...

Sends us a comment or question! Hey friends, While we aren't picking THIS show back up any time soon, we couldn't not do our annual "Top Ten Things" episode. This year started off a little rockier than the last few. While we loved producing this show regularly we have an exciting project in the works to use all of the skills we learned on this one and hopefully avoid all of the mistakes. That's being said there was a lot we were grateful for throughout the year. So from us to you happ...

Sends us a comment or question! Hey friends this week's episode will be the last regularly scheduled episode of the podcast for the foreseeable future. This movie is an incredible look into the growth of a young queer black man and his journey to finding out who he is.

Keep up with our current endevours and keep an eye out for random episodes and live shows comin...

Sends us a comment or question! This week kicks off our exploration of films produced by NON-AMPTP studios to support the striking writers and actors who bring to life the stories we love watching. There is no better candidate to start with than 2013's “The Congress”. The mixed medium film directed by Ari Folman stars Robin Wright in a world where movie studios have started scanning actors to continue “creating” movies without the actors. 20 years pass and contract negotiations require ...

Sends us a comment or question! "Nobody gets through this life unscathed. Not you, not me, Mr. Shaky Hands. But then you’re left with a choice. Are you going to let your grief drown you, or are or are you going to face it and come through the other side?" Apple TV's “Shrinking” is a beautiful exploration of grief and the family you choose. It is also one of the best written and well-performed shows of the year and the creatives both behind the scenes and on the screen deserve fair compensati...

Sends us a comment or question! "...your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should."

Sends us a comment or question! "He hasn't always had it easy, and he's not the only one. And now he's on his own, and he's not the only one. You think you know the rest. You don't. I thought knew the rest, but I didn't. I didn't wanna hurt him, but I did. And... he's not the only one." The sequel to the 2018 instant classic is another instant classic with even more animation styles, action, and spider-people.

Sends us a comment or question! Hey Friends, "Little did I know I would be stepping into a nightmare. Full of mystery, mayhem, and murder. I think I’m going to love it here." We had a lot we wanted to talk about this week, so tune in for our thoughts on Searchlight Pictures'/Mark Mylod's "The Menu", SyFy's/Don Mancini's "Chucky" season 2, and Netflix's/Tim Burton's "Wednesday"!
