Episode 102: This Is My House
- Geek Question of the week... Connor hit us with a bunch... What are some movie birth scenes that are memorable to you? What was your favorite Halloween costume growing up? Favorite candy? Hey, at least the movie talk was interesting. 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 lives that happens until we face it all! Highly recommended!
- And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens. Lots of chickens.
We'll be going to a bi-monthly schedule, so we'll see you in two weeks!

Episode 101: I Want My Two Dollars
- Geek Question of the week... What scenes from movies would janitors hate having to clean up after? Blood, and barf, and bile, oh my!
- 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 audio issues in this episode. OBS likes to change settings on its own. Working to rectify for next week!)

Episode 100: Space Vampires FTW!
- Geek Question of the week... If you could have a mediocre superpower, what would it be? Man this went in a lot of directions, and the livestream chat joined in! 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. This did not age well.
- And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens. Lots of chickens.

Episode 99: Slaycation
- Geek Question of the week... What's the worst movie you actually paid money to see in the theater? How many of YOU have seen the movie widely regarded as "An Astrological Disco Sports Extravaganza"?! Come on in and hear about it!
- In our Roll for Credits segment, it's time for the horror comedy, Get Away (2024)! Imagine if Midsommar and Shaun of the Dead had a baby... this is it! An innocent family goes on vacation to an island with some really creepy villagers... then the twist happens!

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. And Peter Sarsgaard was fabulous!
- And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens. Lots of chickens.

Episode 97: East Bound Or Down
- Sean 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 drama on human nature and the gray area of duty and self-preservation.
- And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens. Lots of chickens.

Episode 96: Le Shark
- Man 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, OG Playstation, and even a deep dive with the Atari Lynx!
- In our Roll for Credits segment, we (literally) dive into the 2024, French shark thriller, Under Paris. Connor liked it. Sean? Not so much. Check out our thoughts!
- And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens. Lots of chickens.

Episode 95: She Talks to Angels
- More 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 ROW!
- In our Roll for Credits segment, we dive into the 2019 period-piece-supernatural-serial-killer-thriller (yes it tried to be all those things) from Russia, The Ninth. Good costume and set design? Um... Check out our thoughts!
- And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens. Lots of chickens.

Episode 94: Only the Shadow Knows
- Man, 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 nonetheless!
- In our Roll for Credits segment, we dive into the 2018 Chinese martial arts drama, Shadow. Beautiful cinematography, well written and acted, but still something just seemed off - maybe it was plot gaps. Well worth the watch however. Check out our thoughts!
- And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens. Lots of chickens.

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 played RE2 on the PS1. If you're a fan, cool... we were not.
- And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens. Lots of chickens.
