LOL In our Roll for Credits segment, we check out the 2020 horror-is movie, His House, starring Sope Dirisu and Wunmi Mosaku. Powerful acting! Not much horror, but *man* what a great cinematic metaphor for trauma. avoidance, and the havoc

In our Roll for Credits segment, we check out the 90's homage to old film noir movies, Payback (1999) starring Mel Gibson, Maria Bello, and a host of other high profile cameos! Decent, but you need to go into it with the right attitude! And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens. Lots of chickens. *(Apologies for the minor

Sidekick! In our Roll for Credits segment, it's time for 80's sci-fie adventure, Lifeforce (1985)! Space vampires, zombies, and 80's gratuitous skinnage, oh my! Oh, and Patrick Stewart.

Episode 98: Enjoy Your Succor! No Geek Question this week... instead we just talked a lot about Borderlands 4! Our favorite series of all time is back, and we now have a favorite IN the series! We are happy! It is so good. In our Roll for Credits segment, we gush about the political/cultural satire movie from 2023, Coup! Eerie how much the Spanish Flu in 1918 was like COVID a few years ago.

Episode 97: East Bound Or DownSean spent time discussing his enjoyment of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Connor freaked out when Sean referred to it as a French developed JRPG. Sean got to school Connor a bit about that. Don't mess with the OG gamer. In our Geek Question this week, Connor asked "What superhero tropes do you just hate?" Kryptonite, Capes, and Monologues, oh my! In our Roll for Credits segment, discuss a hidden gem, the 2023 Norwegian WWII film, The Arctic Convoy! Such tension... such

Episode 96: Le SharkMan we dove into some deep nerd stuff at the beginning and had a great time chatting about video games, storylines, and stuff. Chickens were indeed chased. Ventured into an "In Memoriam" segment. Good grief we got hit hard. Ozzy. Malcolm. Hulk. Chuck. Gen X can't take many more hits! In our Geek Question this week, Connor asked "What classic video game from your childhood would you like to see a remake of, and how would you like to see it updated?" Good stuff from Atari 2600,

Episode 95: She Talks to AngelsMore audio weirdness today, though it wasn't our fault. Blame the block party complete with stage and emcee outside Connor's window! LOL Connor starts us on a conversation of our best memories involving water. Weird, right? Funny how it coincided with the 50th anniversary of the release of Jaws in theaters! Not many fond memories involving water, but plenty of traumatic ones, including a six year old being forced to watch Jaws in the theater sitting in the FRONT

Episode 94: Only the Shadow KnowsMan, we had a train wreck of audio this episode. Drops and mics off oh my! Maybe it had something to do with Connor "pre-gaming" hard even before we went live! Cleaned it up pretty well, but I'm no audio engineer! Long conversations about upcoming preorders and a commentary on the increasing cost of video games! Connor wants to talk about video games that have influenced your life. Sean has a difference of opinion on what "influence" means, but a good conversation

Episode 93: Zombie Family Feud!We jumped video game rabbit holes, including South of Midnight, a smidgen of Destiny, and back to Borderlands 3. Connor started a fun discussion on superhero relationships and why they always seem to fail! In our Roll for Credits segment, we dive into the *FIFTH* (are you kidding me) movie in the Resident Evil franchise, 2012's Resident Evil: Retribution. Not a good move and no clue what is really going on since neither of us have seen a RE movie and Sean last

Episode 92! Well THAT was awkward...First of all, apologies for Sean. Head cold + meds + can't breath = kind of out of it. Let's talk a little bit about Thunderbolts* !!!! It was great! In our Roll for Credits segment, We painfully watch the awkwardness of dating and social media that is the 2023 movie, Cat Person. If you hate the idea of dating in this day and age, this movie will, well, make you scared and hate it even more. Funny, awkward, scary, and sad through and through. Makes you think

Episode 91! Welcome to Talking Club.First of all, apologies for any audio issues. There is some slight popping in the audio that could not be resolved. We'll get that cleaned up before next week! Man, we start the show by just rambling on with the utterly overwhelming Gold Rush of games that have started coming out in the last 3 months, with more on the horizon. And we're just focusing on XBox! A good time to be a gamer. In our Roll for Credits segment, we headed down to the sunny beaches of

Episode 90: I'll Be Your Huckleberry

2025/04/12

Welcome to Episode 90! I'll be your huckleberry...To honor the recent loss of Val Kilmer, the intention was to have a very Val-centric episode focusing on some of our favorite movies. We got sidetracked, of course. After 35 years, Sean has picked up his trumpet again and joined a local band. This led to a rabbit hole of some of Sean's more interesting band geek stories from back in the day. Given the recent loss of Val Kilmer, Connor wanted to know about other actors we've lost that we miss and we

2025/03/08

Welcome to Episode 89! We're back from the Beyond!We just were giddy with excitement to get back in the saddle, and just nerdy chatted for a long time to start off. We explored movies that we could watch forever or movies that have the same emotional impact on us no matter how many times we watch it. Good stuff and not necessarily what you would expect. In our Roll for Credits segment, we talk about the 2017 documentary-style sci-fi movie, The Beyond. Man, for a movie that started out with a
