Surprise! We did another NotLD remake! No one is more upset about that than we are. 

Extra special thank you to Phoebe Stanton, The Lets Play Princess for subbing in on short notice. George is forever in her debt.

It's our most efficient episode in years! Probably because we just talked about the original and this remake doesn't stray far enough from the source material. A good time was had anyway.

This was a contentious one. The likely conclusion is that the DCU is for comic book fans while the MCU is for people who like things a little more grounded. Please enjoy our discourse.

A team of passionate and experienced Metroid aficionados have been assembled to discuss and debate the correct ranking of all the 2D (and 2D-ish) games in the series! If you disagree with the final ranking, bear in mind that nobody got their way. That's just how the math shook out.

Stay for the after show where the most dedicated debaters rank the Prime series as well.

Also, no one gives one sh*t about Federation Force, so don't expect anything on that.

Deadpool & Wolverine

If you've watched this movie at least three times and still LOVE it, this episode is probably going to make you mad. We were not as high on this movie as we were in the quick take. It has some pretty big problems that became evident with multiple rewatches. We didn't totally trash it either though. 

Please remember, it's OK to disagree…

As an olive branch to the die-hards, we have probably a record amount of chapter art in this one.
