#49: PlayStation 2 Retrospective/Chad Muska Documentary (ft. Felipe Diaz-Vera)
December 20, 2022 01:58 - 2 hours - 174 MBIt's been a good couple of years since Felipe was on the show, but he's finally back with a vengeance as we tackle 2 distinct topics. First, Felipe enlightens John with insight on the skateboarding boom of the 2000s and the wild ride it's been for longtime pro Chad Muska in particular, as told in an entertaining documentary that you can legally watch for free on Vice's YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/3JFihjEWU3c After that, the meat of the episode is a deep dive into not a game series, ...
#48-B: Lord of the Rings Movie Trilogy (ft. Mia Mcauley)
November 13, 2022 02:33 - 2 hours - 237 MBMia brings her nerd A-game to school John on a trilogy we both love, but one that for her isn't just a movie, but a lifestyle. Fresh off Fellowship hitting its 20th anniversary (And Two Towers as well a month after this episode publishes), we look back at Peter Jackson's now-legendary adaptation of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy. From Viggo Mortensen injuries to Hugo Weaving rapping in Elvish, we take a long look at all three films and additional material, including the earlier animat...
#48-A: Cyberpunk 2077/Skyrim Mods (ft. Mia Mcauley)
October 18, 2022 19:51 - 1 hour - 120 MBMia returns to the show for an opening portion where we talk games new and older! John discusses his obsession with Cyberpunk 2077 as well as its gradual change to being seen in a more positive light through updates, the next-gen versions, and the tie-in anime Edgerunners. Mia then does a deep dive into her obsession with modding the living daylights out of Skyrim, Bethesda's tendency to leave bug fixes to the modders, and how she can't imagine a world without Inigio. All hail Inigo. Ne...
#47: Robot Carnival/More Arcane Talk (ft. Chris Wade & Squawks the Parrot)
June 19, 2022 21:30 - 1 hour - 160 MBJohn & Chris catch up to talk cartoons old and new! We start with more talk on Arcane, both to get Chris's observations, and also since the original review was recorded before the proverbial Netflix dam burst. Oh, and Chris reveals a cool personal connection to the League of Legends franchise that you'll just have to hear for yourself. For the meat of the episode, we do another retro anime deep dive, but this time with a film that holds some nostalgic significance to both of us, the 1987...
#46-B: Arcane (ft. Ben Reynolds)
May 08, 2022 19:20 - 1 hour - 109 MBJohn and Ben do a deep dive into the League of Legends Netflix adaptation that has received widespread praise. And if you ask us, that's entirely deserved, because Arcane is one of those shows that just does everything right. From the unique and incredible animation, to the mature and well-written stories and worldbuilding, to the plot points that left us with our jaws on the floor, Arcane sets a benchmark for video game adaptations and animation as a whole. Spoilers abound, so please wat...
#46-A: Astro Boy 2003/Dragon's Heaven (ft. Ben Reynolds)
April 08, 2022 04:54 - 57 minutes - 98.8 MBFellow animator and friend of the show Ben Reynolds comes back on to talk with John about cartoons - and keeping in tradition with previous appearances, we're talking niche anime, with a big emphasis on retro. We talk the cool but brief 80s OVA Dragon's Heaven, from its unique art style and bizarre opening to the wild world of anime in the heyday of VHS, and then venture into the recently fansubbed 2003 reboot of the iconic Astro Boy, discussing its amazing visuals, surprisingly thoughtful ...
#45: Dial Code Santa Claus AKA Deadly Games/Dexter: New Blood/Final Fantasy VII (ft. Dave Roberts)
March 12, 2022 20:07 - 2 hours - 212 MBDave Roberts returns for a massive episode covering all sorts of media. We kick off by talking about stuff like Jackass Forever and the state of Bruce Willis's career, John talks revisiting OG Final Fantasy VII with an HD coat of paint via mods, and Dave discusses the Dexter revival miniseries, what it does well, and how he would have gone about certain plot beats differently. For the main topic, John prompts a deep dive into one of his favorite by-chance obscure movie discoveries ever, tha...
#44: Spider-Man: No Way Home Spoilercast (ft. Patrick Fleury)
January 18, 2022 18:58 - 56 minutes - 97.6 MBWe may be late to the party on this one, but there's no way we're skipping a discussion on this movie. Patrick goes over his personal history with the Spider-Man property, and a deep, spoiler-filled talk of the cultural phenomenon that is the third MCU Spidey film ensues between him and John. From a flip-flopping Sandman to cracking each other's backs to what we can take away from the ending, we cover it all. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE. John and Patrick have started a separate podcast called...
#43: Marvel Disney+ Shows/Shang-Chi (ft. Mia Mcauley)
October 15, 2021 17:48 - 2 hours - 175 MBThis show is no stranger to the MCU, but it's been a hot minute since the Infinity War & Endgame spoilercasts, and even longer since our last dedicated dive into this pop-culture juggernaut. Making her first appearance on the show, John's comrade in fandom Mia helps us catch up with releases beyond Black Widow, both by reflecting on memories of movies past, adjusting to an MCU without T'Challa, and in particular discussing the recent Shang-Chi and what its attention to cultural detail, great...
#42-B: Masters of the Universe: Revelation (ft. Dave Roberts)
October 01, 2021 18:36 - 1 hour - 120 MBJohn & Dave journey to Eternia to unpack what we would call the latest version of the He-Man franchise (If not for the fact that a totally separate reboot also came out on Netflix soon after this - what a crazy world we live in). From our personal history with the property and showrunner Kevin Smith, to noting some great worldbuilding and character nuance, to the show being the latest in a long line of things splitting fanbases, there's a lot to discuss. Next episode: Shang-Chi/Marvel Dis...
#42-A: The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles/Anime Grab Bag (ft. Dave Roberts)
August 24, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 158 MBAnime expert, Pro Evolution Soccer (Or eFootball?) player, and all-around friendly European Dave Roberts finally returns to the show for a massive talk with John on all sorts of topics. Initial freeform talks include early days as an anime fan, personal projects in podcasts and on YouTube, and thoughts on potential new Olympic sports. John then gives his initial, spoiler-free thoughts on the finally-localized The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles and the unique factors its setting and time perio...
#41-B: Aladdin (1992) [ft. Patrick Fleury]
August 06, 2021 04:00 - 54 minutes - 83.3 MBThere's no point in acting like listeners aren't familiar with the original Aladdin in some way - it's one of the most iconic Disney films ever made, and remains John's all-time favorite film from the studio. So rather than do a more standard freeform talk about it, we do a more analytical deep dive and dissect it as a piece of animation and filmmaking to nail down just why it works so well. From making the most of all its characters, to a soundtrack with no weak links, to what makes this on...
#41-A: Black Widow/Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart (ft. Patrick & Kaelan Fleury)
July 23, 2021 18:38 - 44 minutes - 69 MBWere you expecting this episode to come out last month when we first teased recording it? So did we, but the production turned out extremely cursed, so we're thankful this is finally an actual completed podcast that you can really listen to. John catches up with Patrick to briefly discuss returning to improv in a gradually vaccinated world and the letdown that is Space Jam: A New Legacy before discussing our first mutual movie theater viewing this year in the form of Black Widow, from the ...
#40: Steven Universe Retrospective/Who Framed Roger Rabbit/Personal Projects Revisited (ft. Chris Wade)
April 30, 2021 19:36 - 1 hour - 184 MBIt's a special day for the podcast, as OG co-host Chris Wade finally makes his first appearance since the Mortal Kombat episode to talk many things near and dear to both his and John's hearts. We open things up with more general talks about recent media we've been consuming, then revisit our passion projects The Will of Monsters and Spacious and talk how work and ideas on both have progressed since our initial discussions in 2017. After that, we discuss Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and what ...
#39: Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!/Soul (ft. Ben Reynolds)
January 17, 2021 14:00 - 1 hour - 138 MBAnimator Ben Reynolds returns to talk with John about two pieces of media that, despite being very different, may be kindred spirits in terms of the positive and inspirational effects they've had on us. John starts things off with his thoughts on Pixar's Soul, how it handles representation and some of the reasons for its somewhat divisive public reception, and why its ultimate message struck him so deeply and why the movie has ended up meaning so much to him personally. After that, we tak...
#38: Back to the Future Retrospective/Bill & Ted Face the Music (ft. Tyler Moliterno))
October 29, 2020 18:32 - 2 hours - 190 MBJohn catches up with friend of the show and fellow podcaster Tyler Moliterno to finally talk something non-Marvel on the show. Tyler gives his thoughts on the long-time-coming third Bill and Ted movie, and both of them tackle one of the most beloved trilogies of all time by unpacking the Back to the Future series. Not just the stories, too, as Tyler deep dives into the brain-melting alternate timelines, versions of characters, and crazy ramifications of the time travel that blows John's mi...
#37-B: Donkey Kong Retrospective Pt. 2/DC Fandome (ft. Patrick Fleury)
September 12, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 129 MBAfter discussing and speculating on the announcements from DC Fandome, we wander away from favorite game ever territory and more into banana-slamma territory, as John and Patrick discuss the roller coaster that is post-Country Donkey Kong. From the infamous cartoon to DK64 and the Rare-free Gamecube era, all the way up to coming full circle with Retro Studios' stellar Country revival, to John doing pipe dream voice casting and really needing to watch Big Little Lies. Timestamps: 0:00 Int...
#37-A: Donkey Kong Retrospective Pt. 1/Ghost of Tsushima (ft. Patrick Fleury)
August 28, 2020 04:00 - 1 hour - 107 MBWe live to pod another day! Almost exactly a year after our hiatus began, John finally dusts the podcasting setup off and revives an unorthodox show for the unorthodox happenings of 2020. Patrick Fleury returns to help John give some updates on voice work, dearly departed grandmas, and various life changes since the last episode, as well as Patrick giving his overall thoughts on the recent PS4 hit Ghost of Tsushima. But for the meat of this episode, it's on like *TRADEMARKED* as we begin t...
#36-B: Mortal Kombat Retrospective/Avengers: Endgame Final Thoughts (ft. Chris Wade)
September 01, 2019 17:02 - 1 hour - 77.2 MBKingdom Hearts III isn't the only thing we're putting a bow on. Chris finally gets to give his opinion on the show regarding Avengers: Endgame. From character arcs he was satisfied with, to others that felt mishandled, where his feelings on Tony Stark now stand, and the continuation of feeling for Thor. (This was recorded before the Marvel/Sony bombshell dropped; we would have brought it up otherwise.) Afterwards, inspired by the recent release of its latest entry, we talk all things Morta...
