SPOILER WARNINGS!!!!!

Boy do we have a doozy of an episode this week! We discuss and break down the Zack Snyder Oscar vehicle Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. What exactly is this movie? Is it a West Side Story-knife-fight-in-the streets film? Or is it a Kramer vs Kramer court battle over the custody of children? We don’t know and honestly, at times, felt like the people making this movie didn’t know either.  As we talk about it in great detail, join us for an episode that seems almost as long as the movie!

We’re joined again by friend of the show, Nathan, who adds his dry, sarcastic wit and biting criticisms as always.

Welcome to Episode 21 where we discuss the father of all survival horror games: Resident Evil. This week just so happens to also be the 20th anniversary of Resident Evil, but I know you will believe me when I say we didn’t plan it that way. Join us as we discuss all things in the first game. Why do healing herbs suddenly become medicinal marijuana when you combine two or more of them? Why does the T-Virus turn people into zombies but every other animal just become bigger? Why does an advanced research facility have such a convoluted security system?

Episode 20 is here and it is another personal milestone for us! We are officially continuing to just chug away and have no interest in stopping so I hope you don’t hate our show ’cause we staying strong. In this episode we discuss the amazing film that is, in itself, a tribute/love letter to silent films of the 1920-30s. It features fantastic acting and great mime work as well as the fact that it seems to just have a lot of heart. Join us to hear our thoughts on this wonderful movie. (<Spoiler: we liked it)

We also spent a good chunk of this movie talking about the upcoming Marvel movie “Captain America: Civil War” and what the cinematic universe has in store. Ryan also takes a big dive down the rabbit hole of comics for a bit, too. All good discussions though, we promise.

In this episode things get heated! Super hot like the depths of Hell! Arguments break out early on because Kyle and Ryan are split on their appreciation of this game. We are also joined in the studio by our second guest host and frequent collaborator, Mr. Brooks, and it soon becomes a 2 on 1 with Ryan & Brooks telling Kyle all the reasons he is wrong. There is also a lot of discussion about the lore of the Diablo series and growing up with this game as opposed to  strictly consoles.

Join us as we take a journey through everything Final Fantasy VII. This is probably one of the most rambling episodes to date because honestly, what hasn’t been said about Final Fantasy VII at this point? It is one of the most popular games of all time, worldwide. We don’t really break down the story beat-by-beat, but more or less just discuss a lot of our favorite things about it and the entire Final Fantasy series as a whole. We also discuss what our favorite and least favorite characters from the series are and how eco-terrorism is a way to get your message across to the public (although not in a good way).

In this week’s episode we break new ground as we have our first guest on the show. Kyle’s good friend Nathan joins us to review Episode 7: The Force Awakens. Opening talk moves around from how Kyle and Nathan met to the racial implications of not including Ernie Hudson in the original Ghostbusters video games. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed talking about it. If you’re still reading this and you somehow haven’t seen The Force Awakens yet, what the hell are you doing?

We have finally reached the first of the #1’s, with Kyle’s #1 favorite movie, “Punch Drunk Love”. In this episode we talk about first heartbreaks, the emotional effect of this movie, and why doesn’t Adam Sandler do more serious roles because he is great in this movie. Things also get a little heavy and a little emotional and maybe some tears are shed during this episode. Be sure to NOT miss this episode; it’s one of the most honest and open episodes to date.

We are sponsored as always by Andre California Champagne which will leave you with a “punch drunk” feeling and crisp clean refreshment.

In this episode we discuss Kyle’s #2 ranked game and talk about all of the pros and cons within. Is this game art? Does it move you on an emotional level, or is it just an annoying falling down simulator? We break all of those questions down and more, all while rambling a bit about how we feel on life.

Episode 11 has come into the room swinging a Hanzo sword and is cutting the heads off of everyone in a glorious rip-roaring spectacle of blood and guts! We are of course talking about Quentin Tarantino’s magnum opus, “Kill Bill”. We spend a lot of this episode pretty much breaking it down scene by scene and gushing over it (SPOILERS: WE LOVE THIS MOVIE!)

We also talk about the second Batman V Superman trailer (which had just released when we recorded this episode) and all of the things wrong with it.
