#TBT Episode 6- The Star Wars Sequel Trilogy

Almost Accurate ·

2022/09/01

Sadly no new episode this week folks.... looks like we're going to have to repackage the some old stuff and change a few things slightly and pass it off as an entirely new thing. But no one would ever try and do that. No gigantic company that has a mouse for a mascot would even dare to spend billions of dollars on a beloved franchise, try and change a few characters names and genders and attempt to recapture the magic of days gone past and produce something that people really enjoyed until they

173- She Hulk

Almost Accurate ·

2022/08/26

What’s up people!This week Almost Accurate is back to compare and contract two EXTREMELY different series. Couldn’t guess? Well no worries, it’s She Hulk and Only Murders in the Building!One is a well-established series that is concuding its second series on Hulu, and another is just barely getting underway on Disney +.Turns out, they couldn’t be more different and Jake and Ryan have PLENTY to say about how they turn out.It sure looks like a giant corporate like Disney sure can have different ways

172- Prey

Almost Accurate ·

2022/08/18

Well well well.. if the boys haven't found themselves a room and if it isn't time to apparently talk about what the streets are saying is apparently the most WOKE movie of all time apparently, that's right, it's time to talk about Prey. Which in case you want to peer through all the right wing bullshit about this being a woke movie because it dares to depict a semi-accurate view of life in the early 1700's before English settlers had conquered what would become the United States, it's actually an

171- Umbrella Academy Spoiler Chat

Almost Accurate ·

2022/08/12

Well the boys are back on Google Meet and if the world wasn't already a mess, so is DC. Seriously... what are they DOING over there? Batgirl is DONE. DC is going around to everyone's house and erasing their hard drives, everyone got fired, and no one is legally allowed to even say the word Batgirl anymore. That 10 year plan they're talking about? Don't hold your breath. Anyhow... enough about Warner Brothers suddenly merging with Discovery out of the blue, it's time for a spoiler chat on the

170- More Stray & Umbrella Academy Season 3

Almost Accurate ·

2022/07/29

Happy Shark week!We don’t talk about Shark Week on this episode whatsoever, we just are trying to get into the spirit of the season. But good lord are there a bunch of new things to talk about!We’ve still been playing Stray and that game is incredible, and wraps things up witha delightful little ending. Sometimes it’s great to just kick back and pretend to be a cat for an afternoon. Makes for some great stories. And you’ll make a lot of robot friends in the process too!Umbrella Academy realeased

169- Stray & The Boys Finale

Almost Accurate ·

2022/07/22

After a much needed break, Jake is back from France and he's brought home a lovely souvenir. That's right, it's Covid! So apologies in advance for both a) the audio quality of this episode and b) the overall horrible sound of one of the hosts voice, and their general overall grumpy demeanor 😂But it's not all bad news! Not all all- the boys have two VERY exciting things to talk about in this week's episode. Stay is out (and it's free depending on which confusing tier of PlayStation Plus that you're

168- Herogasm & Obi-Wan Kenobi Finale

Almost Accurate ·

2022/06/30

On this episode Jake and Ryan dive head first (and perhaps other parts of the body first) into some more of The Boys Season 3, and the Obi-Wan Kenobi finale. Both of which are great, and man oh man is it a relief to finally be talking about things that are GOOD. No joke, we literally are in a golden age of good stuff coming out in the TV format and we are so lucky to be able to finally have new stuff that is good and new and man, what a great time to have a podcast. Nintendo had a mini-direct where

167- Lyle Lyle In Denial

Almost Accurate ·

2022/06/23

This week the boys return with a new episode full of NEWS! How much new stuff are we talking about??! Well since we missed last week we have some content to catch up on, but there's plenty (a few) new things to talk about this week. How about that Lyle Lyle Crocodile trailer that just dropped? Looks good doesn't it (not really) How about how one or both of us thought it might actually be a continuation of the Loki extended universe and not a property in the public domain that Sony decided to

#TBT Episode 5- The Original Star Wars Trilogy

Almost Accurate ·

2022/06/16

Well.... no new episode this week guys, but keeping with our recent Star Wars theme, lets turn back the pages and take a look at the original Star Wars Trilogy! FYI- the only reason we covered this two years ago during the very height of COVID was because there was literally NOTHING new coming out, and Star Wars is comfort food. SPOILER ALERT- all of these are good movies. But are they overall still the best in the franchise? (Yes). Here's looking to be back soon with some more new episodes! In the

166- Obi-Wan & The Boys

Almost Accurate ·

2022/06/10

Jake and Ryan might be a day later than usual, but that's only because it's taken a literal act of God to get this episode in this week. It's time for us to talk about our favorite all time folk band, it's Obi-Wan & The Boys!3 episodes into each TV show, Jake and Ryan give the rundown on what are two excellent shows, that are hitting the ground running in just about every conceivable way. Yeah. We have two good shows and what a relief that is for new content! We also have more news than perhaps

165- Top Gun Maverick

Almost Accurate ·

2022/06/02

It’s another week, but Jake and Ryan are still on the highway to the DANGER ZONE. That’s right, it’s time to talk about the (excellent) Top Gun seuqel, Top Gun Maverick! No spoilers, but this is one of the most fun, popcorn movies you can see in theaters right now. It’s seriously so much fun. Go see it! We’re also breaking down reactions to Star Wars Celebration 2022, the newly announced Skeleton Crew series, and that Cassian Andor trailer! Sony is also balling out with spinoffs for all of it’s

164- Top Gun

Almost Accurate ·

2022/05/26

It's time for Jake and Ryan to ride into the DANGER ZONE for the very first time (or at least the first time since they were very young kids) as they take a look back on the original Top Gun in anticipation for this week's Top Gun Maverick. How does this nearly 40 year old movie stand up to our lofty modern standards? Are there certain parts of it that haven't necessarily aged very well? Yes, yes there certainly are (looking at you Tom Cruise being a mega creep and following Kelly McGillis into that

163- Trek to Yomi

Almost Accurate ·

2022/05/19

It's been a deep... dark descent into the depths of looking for new content this week, but the boys have ascended from the darkness and pulled out a mostly formed gem. It's time to talk about the new game, Trek to Yomi! If you're a fan of classic samurai cinema, then this is a game that absolutely nails the theme and visual presentation that it's going for, so much more so than other games in its genre. If you're looking for a side scrolling version of Ghost of Tsushima however.... yeah you're going

162- Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

Almost Accurate ·

2022/05/12

Well it's time to finally enter the multiverse of madness. Is it as multi-verseal or as maddening as we perviously though that it would be? Well... probably not. Is it an endless cavalcade of fan-castings and excepting celebrity cameos from across the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Well, let's be honest it isn't that either. Is it a good, solid, stand-alone Marvel movie with a compelling man character, antagonist and an interesting side character that will most likely get her own Disney + spinoff show

161- The Boys play Switch Sports and watch the Moon...

Almost Accurate ·

2022/05/05

Jake and Ryan are back with a NEW episode this week. OOOOOOHHH. Justin Lin is out as the director of the new Fast and Furious movie, and we play that weird and awkward video Vin Diesel shot with him about a week before he decided to step down (was fired for fighting with Vin Diesel). But we have so many new things to talk about and so many news stories to get through. Switch Sports is out and it's insane that Nintendo has waited this long to put this collection of games out. How does it stack up to

#TBT Episode 4- Avengers Infinity War & Avengers Endgame

Almost Accurate ·

2022/04/28

Well.... it's a second week of no new content for us, but you know what? We were able to find a rather clever loophole if we do say so ourselves. It turns out that Avengers Endgame released 3 YEARS ago this week, so that was the perfect opportunity to reach back into the Almost Accurate vault, and pull out our movie reviews from episodes 27 and 28 of our podcast. We hope to be back soon with some new episodes, but for now, let's go back in time to 2019 when things were a bit simpler, the world was

#TBT Episode 3- The 3 Worst Movies we’ve Watched for...

Almost Accurate ·

2022/04/21

No new episode this week folks, but that's not to say that there isn't time to take a look back into the past.... and realize how thankful we should be that there are actually GOOD things that are currently coming out now. The boys thought it would be fun to take a look back at movies that fill the infamous podium of the 3 worst movies they've had to suffer through during the course of this podcast, and it just so happens that these 3 gems from 2019 have yet to be bested (you're off the hook for

160- Sonic the Hedgehog 2

Almost Accurate ·

2022/04/15

This week the boys have been watching some more Moon Knight. We wonder what Ethan Hawke is going to do with that stone statue?? He sure did have an unusual glint in his eyes, we will say that much. There is also a TON of news for Jake and Ryan to blitz through, in addition to a full-spoiler review of Sonic the Hedgehog 2! Is it as solid as the first movie… or is it more like Ace Venture 2? You’ll have to listen and find out! Almost Accurate is a weekly pop culture podcast hosted by Jake and Ryan

159- Morbius

Almost Accurate ·

2022/04/07

It's finally time people.... for what seems like two years (or perhaps even more) Jake and Ryan have somewhat dreaded the day that the Morbius movie actually turned out to be a real creation that they would actually have to watch and endure... and damn if it hasn't finally happened. So is this the worst movie they've covered on the podcast? No, it certainly is not. Is it an instant classic that is undeserving of all of the negative reviews that have been floating around about it? Well let's not get

158- Turning Red

Almost Accurate ·

2022/03/31

Almost Accurate is committed to brining you the most up to date information, and as a weekly podcast, we're poised to talk about information the second it happens- oh no! It looks like Will Smith has broken down the doors to our studio and given us both the swiftest of smacks right across the face! Like we said.... the most up to date information that a weekly podcast could possibly give. We're finally talking about Disney's Turning Red, which is a metaphor for growing up and maybe finally getting
