Episode 106: The Bad, Bad West
- In another of our new segments, Reboot Room, we take old movies, shows, or games and reboot them to give them a twist! We have Keanu! We have Muppets! We have Third Rock from the Sun!
- In our Roll for Credits segment, we check out the 2025 movie, Cottonmouth. You know you're in trouble when the movie touts two well-known actors and gives them top billing, but they are only in the movie about 10 minutes each! Revenge Western? I want revenge for the time I lost. You've been warned....
- And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens. Lots of chickens.

Episode 105: Hannah, Meet Jason!
- (Apologies for the audio popping in the episode... Ghosts in the Machine, I suppose!)
- In another of our new segments, Bad Pitches (we're still workshopping that name lol), Connor creates a movie based on the idea of a spy who is terrible at lies but great at karaoke.... The kid is too creative! Come check it out!
- In our Roll for Credits segment, we check out the 2024 movie, Time Cut. What happens when someone does a mashup of a serial killer slasher and 2000's-era preteen Disney Channel TV shows? This, unfortunately, is what you get. You've been warned....
- 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 104: What's in the Box?!
- Still testing the water... feels fine, but we're being cautious!
- In our new, Build a Character Workshop, random prompts gave us a retired washed up super villain trying to re-enter the dating scene. Not only did Connor have fun with it, we ended up roleplaying his first date! We went off the rails fast! Middle school humor and Monty Python voices... barely made it through. Sorry about that, y'all. LOL
- In our Roll for Credits segment, we check out the 2020 sci-fi/horror flick, Black Box. Sean geeked out a little about all the psychology lingo early on, but it went a little Twilight Zone pretty quick. Both of us thought it was a great little flick - unexpected but layered plot. Come listen to our thoughts and go check it out!
- And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens. Lots of chickens.

Episode 103: Raining Fire
- After a six-month hiatus, we're finally back! Let's just catch up and getting our feet wet again!
- We've got new ideas and new segments coming. We review those and let you know what new random stuff is on its way!
- In our Roll for Credits segment, we check out the 2019 Chinese disaster flick, Skyfire! I bet you didn't know it was a remake of a 1980 movie starring Paul Newman, did you? Yeah. Neither did we. Probably should have made un-remaked.
- And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens. Lots of chickens.

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!

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.

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.

- 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!

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.
