Exhausted from an action-packed Free Comic Book Day, we still couldn't wait to fire up the mics and share our adventure with you. Alongside the ever-entertaining Joey Thurman, we regale our laugh-out-loud journey from a live audience episode to the side-splitting aftereffects of our heroically hectic schedule. Find out how a cinematic trip to see Doctor Strange led to Mitch's uproarious breakdown of the cult favorite "Reefer Madness," and why our social media platforms are the newest hotspots to join the conversation.

Fasten your seatbelts for an adrenaline-fueled dive into the world of bank heist flicks and the ever-evolving Netflix landscape. As we dissect Michael Bay's "Ambulance" and its explosive grass (no, seriously), you'll realize why we'd rather laugh at its absurdities than recommend it. And because we love a good mystery, the whispers about Apple+'s star-studded secret project have us all playing detective. From the sensitive topic of the Gabby Petito case to the inner workings of Netflix's transparency woes, we've covered the gamut with the kind of humor and insight you've come to expect from us.

Our comic book villain knowledge faces the ultimate showdown, complete with trivia, high stakes, and the threat of hot sauce penalties (not for the faint of heart). We switch gears to gaming with a review of "Dying Light 2," blending critiques with the undeniable truths of life—like the sacred role of the A button. Wrapping up with "Geostorm," our banter offers a salve for the heartburn and headaches that accompany such tumultuous days of geekdom. So come for the culture, stay for the laughs, and let's nerd out together over everything that makes our geek hearts beat faster.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, it's been such a long day. It's such a long day. My legs, you people, you sick people, the pain we put ourselves through for your entertainment. I'm Hayden, this is Mitch. Hello. And Tom, hi, tom. Today we did Free Comic Book Day, which was a long time. It was a lot of fun though we had a live episode with a ginormous audience.

Speaker 3:

Thousands of people.

Speaker 1:

Our awesome guest speaker, Mr Joey Thurman, who will regale us in a special coming out later this week. Yes, okay. Then we gave up free comics and tried to pawn, pawn our wares, hopefully gain some listeners. And if you are one of the new listeners, welcome.

Speaker 2:

Get on mitch's social media, which is entertain this podcastcom, which will take you to entertain this facebook group and page that we have. We also have tiktok, uh. We have twitter, which is at this entertain uh. We have our patreon, which patreoncom entertain underscore this. And we have our Patreon, which is patreoncom entertain, underscore this. And we also have a Twitch that needs to be updated.

Speaker 1:

True. Well, if you don't know what we're talking about and this is just something you clicked on, welcome to Entertain this a podcast about movies, tv shows and video games.

Speaker 3:

Yay, that intro. We play that every single time and we've played it perfectly.

Speaker 1:

Mm-hmm. And tambourine and all that's right.

Speaker 3:

I played the kazoo.

Speaker 1:

So, yeah, free comic book day was long, and then we went and saw Doctor Strange, which will also be a special that we're going to. I think it should come out in the same week, because it's going to be kind of old by next week. Yeah, might as well, okay, so I don't know, maybe two specials.

Speaker 2:

A double dose.

Speaker 3:

That's right. That's a lot of content.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, hey, maybe we'll make it to an hour.

Speaker 3:

It should be great, because I'm getting tired of looking at the two of you right now.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it was a long day, so my knees hurt.

Speaker 2:

My elbow hurts. My energy drink is wearing off. Yeah, my back hurts.

Speaker 1:

Mitch, how was Reefer Madness?

Speaker 2:

It was dumb, yeah it was dumb yeah. It was really dumb. It was made in the 1938.

Speaker 3:

In the 1938? Yeah, in the 1938.

Speaker 1:

What did you get punished for? Which trivia was this? Was it Harry Potter?

Speaker 3:

Yes, was it Harry Potter? Okay, slub.

Speaker 1:

I can't believe you failed here.

Speaker 2:

Squib Squib, dirty muggle In this movie basically you have these adults that are like luring kids, almost like kids. You know, hey, kids, you want some weed, like the creeper guy in the van with the candy. They're like luring kids into their car to take them back to their house, to, like you know, in their den of sin and iniquity.

Speaker 1:

Where they have, like Dungeons and Dragons and lava lamps.

Speaker 2:

Well, basically, they're smoking and dancing.

Speaker 3:

Those pieces of crap? How dare they With?

Speaker 1:

their socks off, oh no.

Speaker 3:

It's just a loose prequel to.

Speaker 1:

Footloose.

Speaker 2:

Basically, they're dancing, they're smoking cigarettes and every now and then, one of them will be like no, you should smoke this.

Speaker 1:

Really.

Speaker 2:

And it's like promoting that, like the cigarettes and stuff.

Speaker 1:

This is back when cigarettes are cool to smoke.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you ever try one of these Well they're like promoting that like the weed's going to make these people violently crazy Wow.

Speaker 3:

Stuff like that yeah.

Speaker 2:

Well, I mean, I'm going to tell you, basically, this movie disproves what it's trying to prove.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

Like they say that the weed's making these people like crazy and like violently, you know killer instinct kind of stuff. But then in the movie towards the end it's like they frame this one guy accidentally kills this woman while they're fighting over a gun, but then they frame the guy that smoked the weed for being the one that killed her, when it was actually the guy another guy so smoking weed had nothing to do with his charm charge.

Speaker 3:

So what you're saying is smoking weed prevents murder they were all.

Speaker 2:

They were all at the house and this one guy was trying to basically like rape this other woman and his her brother comes out of the room and sees that and like loses his mind trying to stop him. Well then they start arguing. Well then they're fighting over a gun. The guy shoots his like the guy that was trying to rape her accidentally shoots the girl, and then somehow the brother gets knocked out. He wakes up and they've like put the gun in his hand and makes him think that he did it. Oh wow, so they kind of disproved it.

Speaker 1:

If he didn't smoke weed he would have been lucid enough to know, or whatever. Is that what they're trying to get with? I guess it's a very obscure matter-of-fact specific way to say weed is bad.

Speaker 2:

They had things like the guys that were selling weed. They went back to their boss and they had lines like Was it like a Don Corleone kind of thing, kind of? One of the guys was like I want out of this business. I didn't come here to sell to kids. And the guy's like I hope you retire, retire permanently, permanently. It was just. I mean, they actually and they spell, spell marijuana, m-a-r-i-h-a-u-n-a marijuana because J is for Jesus.

Speaker 3:

H is for hell where you're going if you smoke it.

Speaker 2:

But, like repeatedly, they say that marijuana causes extreme violence and errors in time and space. Like what? What universe am I in? That's my doctor, damn it.

Speaker 3:

I'm in a new Like repeatedly they say that marijuana causes extreme violence and errors in time and space. I'm like what? What universe am I in?

Speaker 1:

That's why, dr David, I'm in a new dimension. That's what.

Speaker 3:

Dr Strange was about.

Speaker 1:

He was smoking that marijuana. That's the dark book, or whatever he just light up a joint and started.

Speaker 3:

I like how they spell it, like the way Hank Hill would pronounce it Marijuana, david, bob, are you smoking that marijuana in?

Speaker 2:

my yard. And then when they go, they go back to the parents' house and there's this creepy guy playing the piano. He's like, he's kind of like da-da-da-da-da-da.

Speaker 3:

All right, but like how creepy is these people who are trying to influence children to smoke grass? Is it like creepy? Or is it like the child catcher from Shitty Shitty, bang, bang Creepy?

Speaker 2:

They're just cool and laid back. That's like the pinnacle. The wife of the guy that's selling the weed. She's like, oh, you shouldn't really be selling it to the kids, you shouldn't be bringing them back here. And he's like, ah, we need the money.

Speaker 3:

A tax. Uncle Sam needs his too. Is that when a dime bag was literally a dime bag Probably?

Speaker 2:

I'll give you two hay pennies and an orange. Well, I did a little bit of research about the movie. Supposedly, like the killings and stuff were inspired by an axe murder in 1933. Okay, where a family was killed by their son and they blamed it due to marijuana because he was under the influence, he, like axe, murdered his whole family, okay. All right, but then Call darn weed. This movie was actually played in a lot of colleges in the 60s as like satire for like comedy.

Speaker 1:

Well, yeah, so, like it was at one point, a Christian like troop owned it and they traveled around like the Midwest and played it at colleges to try and, like, raise awareness against marijuana.

Speaker 2:

This is like the oldie dare. Yeah, they played the movie, but there's no proof that any Christian group ever actually made the movie.

Speaker 1:

I could have sworn that. I read that somewhere well they did.

Speaker 2:

They went around and played the movie as like awareness, but nobody. There's no proof on who actually made this movie nobody knows who made it, it's just there it has no copyright, so like anybody, we could play the movie?

Speaker 1:

yeah, there's no copyright.

Speaker 3:

You can't sue us.

Speaker 2:

But yeah, there's no proof on who actually made it, because there's one guy that came forward saying that he made this movie.

Speaker 1:

Uh-huh.

Speaker 2:

And like they took it to court or something like that because he wanted the royalties and they'd like just Like royalties. But they basically said like I want my $42. The proof that he had didn't count and, like some of the actresses that were in it, they were like we filmed this in like three weeks and I never got any money from it, or stuff like that.

Speaker 1:

I'm sure you got a lot of problems from it.

Speaker 3:

It was really dumb, I got used to it. The guy, the proof he had, it didn't count. It's like you brought it in the judgment. Get that out of here.

Speaker 2:

But yeah, it was all black and white, it was an hour and it was an hour wasted of my life.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it was good. Really crappy indie films for the early days, yeah.

Speaker 2:

There were several times where they would be playing and you could tell that evidently they had to do reshoots because they'd be moving and all of a sudden they'd just jerk into it.

Speaker 1:

That's the weed kicking in, that's the marijuana.

Speaker 3:

That's what happens when you smoke that hippie lettuce. The devil's got you that electric lettuce, Bobby.

Speaker 2:

There's one scene where the brother gets in this car and they're like we've got to go, take me to this place. My car's in the shop. He's been smoking weed, so he's just freaking out. He's like, ah ah, ah. He's driving down the road and just runs over some random guy.

Speaker 1:

The three of us haven't smoked weed, but we've dealt with a lot of people who have and are, you know, other worldly jobs. But uh, I can say without a shadow of a doubt if you're on a drug, weed is okay. Most of the time, pretty much 99.9 percent of the time, people are on weed or pre-chill and just like yeah man, I don't care what's going on yeah, let's go, let you drive, we'll get there faster.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

So, it's.

Speaker 2:

I'd give it like I'd give it a three.

Speaker 3:

When are they going to do like Bath Salts, the movie that?

Speaker 1:

would be a horror movie. Has anyone done that? Let me write that down.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, okay, Well, this was. It was funny and it's only an hour, so it's not as bad as some of the others.

Speaker 1:

Okay, well, not the worst punishment, but still a punishment.

Speaker 2:

That was still a waste of time.

Speaker 1:

Sweet.

Speaker 3:

Now I want, like Bath Salt Madness directed by Neil Breen.

Speaker 1:

That's like the ninth ring of hell kind of stuff, right there, oh yeah, the ultimate punishment movie.

Speaker 2:

You're on Bath Salt to watch Neil Breen.

Speaker 1:

Pretty much.

Speaker 3:

All right, he is on bath salts who had movies?

Speaker 1:

I did Tam Hayden. Did you watch Bambalance the?

Speaker 3:

movie. I watched Bambalance the movie. I saw him on the wee-woo wagon going down the highway. They had them flashing lights and the wee-woo.

Speaker 1:

Was there explosions?

Speaker 3:

Oh plenty, it was Michael Bay man.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, everything exploded.

Speaker 3:

Cameras just circling around, yeah, I mean it's the weirdest thing, man I saw blades of grass explode. I never thought that could happen. It's nitro-chrysaline.

Speaker 1:

They should have been there.

Speaker 3:

It's the chlorophyll, yeah, no chlorophyll is the face wash, chloroform no.

Speaker 1:

Keep going, keep going.

Speaker 3:

Anyways, next subject, yeah, next subject the crap that turns planes green. Everybody knows it. Yeah, photosynthesis, no, no, the actual chemical itself.

Speaker 1:

So Michael Bay directed this movie.

Speaker 3:

Michael Bay directed it. This is a movie that should have been made by Guy Ritchie with Jason Statham.

Speaker 2:

This is why we skip science on trivia.

Speaker 3:

Yes, this is why we skip science and trivia pursuit too.

Speaker 1:

I think it's cool, our film.

Speaker 3:

We should probably play it, though, and broaden our horizons of knowledge. But, anywho, it's a box office bomb already.

Speaker 1:

Is it?

Speaker 3:

really $40 million budget. They've made $50 million in worldwide sales.

Speaker 1:

Okay, how long has it been out? A little bit Like a month.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Okay, they'll probably make a profit when it goes to streaming.

Speaker 3:

So it stars Jake Gyllenhaal and other people. I don't know Jake Gyllenhaal. So the premise of the film I'm going to ruin this movie because this movie just sucked. Okay, don't watch it. This is actually a punishment review film, all right, all right, all right.

Speaker 1:

Rate it out of 10 first. Ah, Rate it out of 10 first.

Speaker 3:

Three Really.

Speaker 1:

So it is as bad as Reefer Madness.

Speaker 3:

It is on par with Reefer Madness, just with more explosions and better filmography.

Speaker 1:

Maybe they were on the reefer when they were going on the bandwagon you know, if they were, it might have been a better movie.

Speaker 3:

All right, go ahead. So the character Will. It starts off. He's a vet, he's got financial problems, he has a wife, a kid, Just like all of us. She needs surgery for an undisclosed reason. He needs money. He goes and sees his brother, who is played by Jake Gyllenhaal, because they were like a foster brother sort of deal by Jake Gyllenhaal's actual parents, who were apparently crime lords and bank robbers. Oh, okay good for them, which is just kind of thrown out there, yeah.

Speaker 3:

So he shows up and he's like, oh, this is great, you're here. He's trying to get help from him for the surgery and he's like, well, I need another man for a job. And he's like I don't do that anymore. And he's just like it's just one little thing, Just do it.

Speaker 1:

Come on, yeah, come on, then Go. It's like how long are you going to stay on and play? Until 1?

Speaker 3:

All right 3.30? Yeah, well, my powers of persuasion. So they need a driver. They go and rob a bank. Apparently it's all planned. It's not planned. No, there's one robber who is a jerk.

Speaker 2:

There's always one yeah.

Speaker 1:

There's another one who has like the guy from Heat or the guy from Training Day. Yeah, there's always the one dude, the guy from I don't know Every climate yeah, so go ahead.

Speaker 3:

So of course they go and rob the bank. It all goes wrong because a cop sends his partner in there to ask out a bank teller in like a side plot. That's happening.

Speaker 1:

Don't know if they ever get together.

Speaker 3:

That's never addressed. They didn't live long, Long enough, so he gets taken hostage. He goes and tries to fight with Jake Gyllenhaal. The main character Will shoots him. So then they steal an ambulance, Big police shootout. They're all looking for Jake Gyllenhaal. Apparently he's a big-time bank robber.

Speaker 1:

He's robbed like 38 banks and I'm like that's impressive you've made it to 38 because most people don't get past one. Yeah, right. It's not even like that lucrative to rob a bank. No, all the money that you have to put into planning and it's like what?

Speaker 2:

maybe two hundred thousand dollars in a bank or something like that. Nowadays, most money is like digital, exactly. Yeah, so it's all bitcoin who robs a bank anymore.

Speaker 1:

Cryptocurrency that's. That's where you can steal people's money from so be smart with computer now so of course it all goes into michael bay shooting explosions ambulance.

Speaker 3:

So they take the female ambulance lady hostage. The cop is shot in the chest and bleeding out, so they're having to do surgery on him in the van, which was cool. And he started waking up and the lady starts panicking. He's like what do I do? What do I do? And the guy just looks at him and goes, yeah, poof. And he punches him in the face and knocks him back out.

Speaker 1:

I'm pretty sure that's against the Hippocratic oath. None of these characters are redeemable.

Speaker 3:

I did not root for any of them. I wanted the cops to shoot them. I was rooting for the police. I don't want these robbers to win. These guys suck. These are horrible people. It's like this is your job you rob banks and it's just like I'm supposed to expect that you're a good guy.

Speaker 1:

it's like you're shooting at people.

Speaker 3:

It's like no, no you're not even like charismatic or funny, like you have nothing like redeeming, it's just, you just suck okay, they're back, yeah uh, the police inaccuracies off the wall. Yeah, I mean, have a normal conversation over a radio and see how long it lasts hey, larry, what are you doing on Thursday?

Speaker 3:

That's literally like the one cop's in the bank talking to the girl. He's like, wait forever. The dude pulls his radio out and goes hey, partner, you been in there a long time. He's like did she say yes or no? He's just having a conversation. I'm like he's on Police 1, the channel and I'm like, all right, so he's on a police channel and he's just saying that, yeah, and I'm like don't you guys get like calls? For? I'm like it's Los Angeles, aren't you guys?

Speaker 1:

busy Radio's going to like chime in.

Speaker 2:

Oh no, it's just a two-way radio between the two of them, right.

Speaker 1:

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3:

So it works. So, anyways, the cop somehow had a gun. The girl takes it, she shoots Will. Will Smith yeah, not Will Smith, will, the character whose name I can't remember the actor, jake Gyllenhaal, freaks out, takes her hostage and he's like I'm gonna kill her. I'm teasing myself in the standoff at the hospital. And then Will pulls the gun, shoots Jake Gyllenhaal in the back, ultimate shoots Jake Gyllenhaal in the back Ultimate betrayal. And Jake Gyllenhaal forgives him before he dies. I forgive you. And then the cops like tackle Will, drag him into the hospital so he could have surgery because he's dying. And then the cop, like is interviewing him. They're just like you saved my life and I'm like he shot you, though he's the reason you almost died. What are they? They let him go. They don't address it. I'm like I hope not. I'm like I can't imagine the amount of felonies and paperwork that have to be filled out. They cause a lot of destruction. Oh, countless police cars are wrecked, multiple traffic violations.

Speaker 2:

I mean like three ticket books worth it's like well, you did all that, but you're in the hospital.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, he saved the dude.

Speaker 1:

You know, there'd be one guy that just does this giant accident report and he's just like he ran a red light right there.

Speaker 3:

No, you can picture it. It's just like it's all said and done. One guy just goes, alright, rookie, he just walks out.

Speaker 2:

I'll see you on Thursday Start typing the chief wants that report tonight.

Speaker 1:

That would have been the best way to end it, like signs falling down on the street.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, it just cuts to like a squad room and he's just sitting there at a computer, just Sergeant popping in, going, you done.

Speaker 1:

So was like the gunplay, realistic.

Speaker 3:

The gunplay was not bad.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, like they didn't have infinite bullets in their magazines and stuff like that.

Speaker 3:

No, they kind of pushed the limit on that. Yeah, what about the vehicle physics where they like oh they do a back-to-back sweep of a room with automatic ARs and kill everybody in the room Like they're Bond or something. Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Who's?

Speaker 3:

they Jake Gyllenhaal and the other main, so they kill people.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, gangbangers, though they have multiple homicides by the end of the uh of the uh the movie yeah, and then they f up their escape plan like beyond, like they.

Speaker 3:

They try to do like the fast and furious, like the second fast and furious, where they take the ambulance to an area where there's like eight other ambulances and they spread out and it's like brilliant and jake gyllen, jill Hall, like makes his lackey show up and spray paint it blue and he ends up spray paint neon green and they still get in it and drive off. It's like I wonder which one they're in. It's like you might as well just shoot flares out of the damn ambulance and you had tie balloons to it like Mario cart, yeah, wow.

Speaker 2:

I'm just waiting for, like a Michael Bay spoof where, like they're driving down the road, some butterfly comes floating along and they hit the butterfly and it explodes.

Speaker 3:

The vehicle flies, you watch a whole city go.

Speaker 1:

So, like the camera work, was it just swooping circular camera?

Speaker 3:

stuff. Oh, the whole movie I was getting motion sickness.

Speaker 1:

I can't stand that. It's just like car. No-transcript.

Speaker 3:

It's just like car this that, Like the whole time I'm watching it, I was literally waiting for one of the police cars to just turn into a Transformer, because, why not?

Speaker 1:

One of them just goes and starts running. Wow, so not the greatest movie in a while. No, it sucked.

Speaker 3:

If I lose the trigger, I'm going to make you watch it. You can't we just reviewed it. Yeah, I reviewed it. We can't double review.

Speaker 1:

It goes against the entertain this code.

Speaker 3:

Who cares? Rule number one about entertain this. Don't break the code. Punishment is about punishing. Yeah, the codes are more like guidelines. Parley.

Speaker 1:

But yeah, michael Bay films, man they're. They said this was a return to form for him, that's what I heard and I was like oh okay, but everything else sucked All the other movies like. This movie's not good and you guys are like mindless action nerds, so I figured, if you like watched it. And it's that bad, it must be pretty bad.

Speaker 3:

It's not a good action film yeah.

Speaker 1:

So yeah, michael, I think I watched the Rock once forever ago and I was like this movie's dumb and I was like 13 when I saw it.

Speaker 2:

I'll be honest. All his good movies well, I say good, all his decent movies were in his past. The older he gets, the worse his movies get.

Speaker 1:

They just get more and more outrageous. I'm thinking Armageddon.

Speaker 2:

I liked Armageddon. I like that story where Ben Affleck?

Speaker 3:

asked him wouldn't it be easier to train astronauts how to drill? Yeah, and Michael Bay just looks at him and tells him to shut the hell up.

Speaker 1:

He's like all right, that's the end of the conversation that's the most Michael Bay story. Yep, that makes sense. Yeah, he's like all right go back over there, all right. So three out of ten for Bambalance, for Wee Woo Wagon.

Speaker 3:

What news have you, Tom? Fantastic Four director John Watts has dropped out of the project.

Speaker 1:

John Watts. I can't remember what he did.

Speaker 2:

He's the guy that did the thing.

Speaker 1:

He did the thing and the stuff. We should know stuff because we're entertaining reviewing people. You know what you keep entertaining. Reviewing people Late. You know what you keep talking and I'm going to look up John Watts real quick.

Speaker 3:

You look that up. So he's dropped out of the project. So we'll see what happens with that. Sorry.

Speaker 2:

Bill.

Speaker 3:

Bobatkins, christopher Evans and Ana de Armas spent a week filming a new movie, but nobody knows what it is. It's secret, apparently.

Speaker 1:

Super.

Speaker 3:

It's a high-concept romantic action-adventure film that will appear on Apple+. Okay, Apparently it's being heavily kept under wraps.

Speaker 1:

John Watts yes.

Speaker 3:

We'll also feature Adrian Brody, amy Sedaris, a very bearded I quote you, not Tate Donovan- he did Spider-Man Homecoming.

Speaker 1:

There you go.

Speaker 3:

Oh, he did, yeah, yeah, nice. So there's that movie that might or might not happen, and apparently the Gabby Petito murder case is being made into a Lifetime movie.

Speaker 1:

What's that? What's that murder case?

Speaker 3:

That's that Brian Laundrie, the one that Dog Bounty Hunter was looking for him and didn't find him, Dude I don't watch that crap.

Speaker 1:

He doesn't even have a gun, he just runs around and tases people Bear Mace, bear Mace and people Bear.

Speaker 3:

Mace, that guy.

Speaker 1:

And he's like 5'4".

Speaker 3:

He wears, like Kiss, high heel boots.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I didn't realize that. Then I paid attention to that one time I saw that and I was like that's real and you know why he can't have a gun? Because he's a convicted felon.

Speaker 1:

He's a felon, he's out there like beating up people.

Speaker 2:

You're a criminal wherever.

Speaker 3:

You're going to jail. He thinks he's Batman, so Lifetime with the story. It's about a 22-year-old woman with the same name, whose disappearance and death became widely publicized last summer, so explore the relationship between the two and her homicide.

Speaker 1:

Is Dog, the Bounty Hunter, going to be in this? No Well, I don't know.

Speaker 3:

Thora Birch is making her directorial debut and will portray Petito's mom.

Speaker 1:

according to the network, Thora, birch, that sounds familiar.

Speaker 3:

You don't know who that is do you no Okay. I'll Google that you should, so this is scheduled to come out.

Speaker 1:

She was in Walking Dead Okay, she was a little girl in Hocus Pocus, oh yeah. In American Beauty she was a what girl?

Speaker 3:

A little girl, yeah, oh.

Speaker 1:

Was she in the Walking Dead?

Speaker 3:

Yes, she was Okay, but I bet they're going to try to have this coincide with the actual trial that's going to start in 2023.

Speaker 1:

It's got to be kind of like I. I mean, if he did it, screw him but if there's some like you know, if they have a tv show that like perpetuates a guy who might be innocent and it's just like nah, I mean watch the show.

Speaker 3:

Man, this is like a true. This is a true story that lifetime's gonna do not like you know yeah, woman meets man. Man turns out to be shady, and then he ends up on fire well, okay, I'll, I'll, I'll lead into my news talking about this then.

Speaker 1:

So there's a show coming out called the Staircase on HBO with Colin Firth, and I can't, I got my thing here. But there's a Netflix documentary that me and the wife watched a little while ago, called the Staircase, which was really interesting. That goes into detail about this guy who's accused of murdering his wife and like they go into like insane crime forensic science in the court cases, because about the physics of how the body fell down the stairs and the blood splattering on the walls are like conducive to like a bashing weapon or something like that. And as the court case goes on and the documentary goes on, you're pretty sure that he did it, but then some evidence comes out in the very end that it could not be him, and so it kind of rips you back and forth.

Speaker 1:

So if you have a TV show that goes along and showcases one side of that narrative, you know, while a court session is in, you know.

Speaker 3:

In play.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you're not going to like lock your jury up into a hotel that doesn't have access to TV. I'm sure some of them are going to watch it.

Speaker 3:

Oh no, this dude's probably going to get convicted before yeah, so uh, but yeah, hbo, the staircase seems really interesting and, uh, I'm definitely gonna watch so were they like judging, like the, you know where she was on the stairs, her height, angle of hit oh yeah, everything.

Speaker 1:

The height of who probably attacked. If they were left at right, they get like, uh, these uh like carpenters to recreate a miniature of the staircase and they bring it out. And then they like, uh, do like, like to scale representations of the staircase and they bring it out, and then they do to-scale representations of the blood splatters and stuff like that.

Speaker 1:

They showcase 3D modeling and all this other kind of cool stuff. It's a really good documentary. I highly recommend it. So I think it actually just came out in the fifth, so you should be able to watch the first episode. By the way, Colin Firth looks just like the dude. There's also some more things that made it seem like he probably did it that I didn't talk about, but I don't want to spoil everything.

Speaker 3:

There's always going to be that interpretation. I think it's him.

Speaker 1:

He had another wife or partner that was murdered in Germany.

Speaker 3:

Two murdered partners. That's a stretch.

Speaker 1:

Okay, two murdered partners, that's a stretch, okay. Also, netflix is more under fire for being sued by their own people Class action lawsuit from a bunch of the people on their board for not reporting all their losses this past quarter. Because, you know, netflix has lost over 200,000 subscribers and I guess they've been trying to like, keep it on the hush to their investors and people on the board and that didn't go very well with them. So they're doing a class action lawsuit and Netflix is trying to play it off like it's not that big of a deal. And I just wonder if they're going to come out and address the whole wokeness factor, if that's what has tanked netflix's movie, uh, in in streamers, or, you know, if anybody's going to try and kind of understand why they're losing. I mean, I'm sure with the multi-platform streaming services that are out there today, it makes sense that people are, you know, giving up netflix to go to something else.

Speaker 2:

But netflix used to be like the staple because they were the only, only good ones around, but but now, netflix is just the.

Speaker 3:

You look for old shows. You want to watch the entirety of right, yeah and hope it's on netflix before you go to amazon, right right, or you know you, you.

Speaker 1:

What we used to do is we would switch from hulu, hbo and, uh, paramount, but netflix was always there, like we never left netflix. And there's some people that are kind of going back and forth, so you know, they're actually getting rid of Netflix. A lot of people are wondering well, why would they do that? So it could be because they jacked up their prices. It could be because they're batting down on this whole password sharing thing. I don't know.

Speaker 2:

And they make anything.

Speaker 3:

They will make anything they do make a lot of crap. Their movies suck.

Speaker 2:

They need to cut down on the quantity and focus on the quality.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, like the last couple Netflix movies I reviewed, these movies are not good.

Speaker 1:

And Netflix movies have been pretty bad lately, so I'm trying to think of something that came out this year that was okay.

Speaker 2:

What was that one with Ryan Reynolds?

Speaker 1:

that was okay, adam Project. Yeah, ryan Reynolds, that was okay, adam.

Speaker 3:

Project, yeah, adam Project.

Speaker 1:

That was pretty good, I liked it. It was okay.

Speaker 3:

I was enjoying Star Trek, the Next Generation on Netflix. Not a Netflix original, but reruns.

Speaker 1:

So there's my news. I'll talk about my review. I watched to completion Ozark, a Netflix show. It started in 2017 and ended this year. Season four was the final season and was split in two parts. It's the first seven episodes come out I want to say like February and then the last seven episodes come out just recently, and so it was a longer season but split in two parts because that's what everybody does they split the ending and, you know, prolong it. It's a good show. I really enjoy the show. If you are into crime drama like Breaking Bad or you know Better Call Saul or whatever, and you know you kind of like these normal people that get thrusted into a life of crime and they're trying to reap the benefits but also take care of their own and come out on top and see if they're going to get their upcomings.

Speaker 1:

But you're so attached to the character you don't want anything bad to happen to them those kind of things and, honestly, as I got closer to the end of season four, I was like I kind of don't want to finish it because I'm pretty sure these people are going to die and I don't want to see them die because it's a family. It's a dad and a mom and two kids and they're all guilty of doing terrible stuff, but you like them because that's how they sucker you into that show.

Speaker 2:

I've only seen the first two seasons so far.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I like it, and I think Jason Statham can play, because he's Jason Bateman. Yeah, right, like it, and I think Jason Statham can play Jason Bateman. Yeah, right, sorry, I've said Statham so many times, Jason Bateman he actually, I'm going to show the Ozark.

Speaker 1:

I play the Ozark, the land. He only took this role because he got tired of being typecast as the straight man in comedies, so he wanted to showcase that he could do something else. And then he was the one that got Laura Linney involved and they brought a whole bunch of really interesting actors, a lot of, I guess, more famous Hispanic actors from I don't know, like Mexican Soaps or something like that, but they're really good at their roles, usually cartel kind of things. And to see kind of like this vicious cycle they call it the death cycle Like you kill three people to cover up the one guy that you killed in the last season, you know, and it never stops and to see how they kind of wrap it up at the end was pretty strange. I'm not going to lie, it was an ending, but you know, know, I don't want to spoil it. And um, I I enjoyed the show all the way to the end.

Speaker 1:

I'd say that this season wasn't the best season. I think season three was the best season, but, uh, I'd still give this show in its entirety an eight out of ten. Um, I think that it for four seasons. It was probably still a little long, but I did watch it as every season came out. So if you haven't watched, I think binging it from beginning to end would probably be a lot more enjoyable than watching a season, forgetting about it for two years and then like watching a quick recap and starting it over again. Yes, so there you go. I recommend the ozark if you're into, like I said, breaking bad and things like that. Um, and you want to know how money laundering works, all right, that's TV Video games.

Speaker 2:

Wow, I didn't say it for the social media and now Mitch with games. Well, we have Dying Light 2, Staying Human.

Speaker 3:

Boo.

Speaker 1:

Objection Tom doesn't like it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I know Tom doesn't like anything, Even though he loves Skyrim, and this is just like Skyrim with zombies. But he doesn't like it. No, it's not like Skyrim.

Speaker 3:

It's exactly like Skyrim. No, it's not.

Speaker 1:

Well, first off, tom hardly played a game, dying Light, true, and Mitch, you hardly play Skyrim, so this sounds like a valid argument between the two of you.

Speaker 2:

I tried Skyrim and I keep, keep arguing about your ignorance towards each other's games but uh, basically this is a, it's two to four players uh, online or you can play solo. Um, it's a lot like the first game, I mean the, where, the, the, as far as like the mechanics and everything, they didn't really change a lot of that. Um, I mean one of the pluses it does have pretty seamless free running unless you're tom. If you're tom, you have trouble navigating.

Speaker 1:

Well tom's not great at platforming in any game, so well I mean like you, you can just jump.

Speaker 2:

You know he'll grab the ledge if you're close to it don't lie to me.

Speaker 1:

I've seen it happen on my television every video game, with every video game character you play, has just got some weird depth perception issues.

Speaker 3:

It's like my guy needs glasses. Grab a ledge, Tom Just jump.

Speaker 1:

Screaming at his TV.

Speaker 2:

Then he rage, quit on Elden Ring and just took the game off. That happened.

Speaker 3:

I feel like from what you all played, I think the game off that happened.

Speaker 2:

But I feel like, from what you all played, I think the game has pretty good graphics. Now, when you're sitting there looking at the NPCs, like in the cutscene stuff, they're not that great, but when you're actually traveling through the world, I feel like the graphics are pretty good.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, when you got it, we all got it so we could play with you, and I didn't care about the story because I just wanted to get to multiplayer. So I just rushed through all the cut scenes to get as fast as possible to multiplayer and in hindsight that was probably bad, because I have no clue what's going on in this game. It's depressing, and apparently it's depressing, but I wish they kind of made multiplayer more available at the beginning of the game.

Speaker 2:

Well, I mean essentially in this, this game I don't know what connection it has to the first one as far as story yet, because I haven't gotten that far but I, you, basically you start out. You're looking for your sister because y'all were part of like some kind of experiments when the whole zombie outbreak stuff was starting on some way to like stop it from infecting people. So they were experiment. This, basically this corrupt doctor was experimenting on kids trying to figure out a way to stop it, and you and your sister get split up Wherever they injected you with makes you slightly not Captain America level, but you're slightly stronger, more resilient and stuff when it comes.

Speaker 1:

No, you don't, I can't hold on to a ledge for 30 seconds.

Speaker 2:

Well, I'm not saying in-game, I'm just saying for story-wise, oh, okay.

Speaker 3:

Not in multiplayer.

Speaker 2:

You can do weird kickflips off of rooftops and stuff, but you skip some of the story which, like when you do the inhibitor stuff that is supposed to kill a normal person. So it boosts you for a certain amount of time.

Speaker 1:

Then why is it everywhere in the game?

Speaker 2:

Because the GRE people were making it, because it's the only thing that can stop you from being turned into a zombie.

Speaker 1:

But it kills you, there's a high probability that it'll kill you, oh, so let's put it everywhere in the game.

Speaker 2:

But you need it so you can find it. Yeah, some of the downsides of it that I don't like are the new darkness sickness limiter where basically, if you go into a dark building or it becomes night time, you have like five minutes to either go find a place to sleep or find UV light.

Speaker 1:

You can eat UV mushrooms.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, whatever, whatever that crap is.

Speaker 3:

I'll tell you the biggest criticism. Why is RB the jump?

Speaker 1:

back. That is my biggest criticism. That is the stupidest idea.

Speaker 3:

Whoever came up with that. I want to hit him upside the head with a wiffle ball bat.

Speaker 2:

In my defense I tried to explain to them that you're using RB just as much as you would the attack button, so they just want it readily available.

Speaker 1:

Mitch in every video game console. Ever A yes A is jump A will forever be jump.

Speaker 3:

The sky will be blue Grass ever be jump the sky will be blue, grass will be green. The jets will always blow it in the draft. These are things you can count on in life. A is jump. That's true, mitch.

Speaker 2:

It works very well for me. Well, I didn't have any problems.

Speaker 3:

Okay, I ended up pressing A and RB at the same time.

Speaker 2:

I mean like, and one another downside that I said you know, like I followed the story, it's not very compelling, like I don't feel one way or another about the character. Really, like it explains oh, he lost his sister, he's trying to find her, but it's like, all right.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and Is it one of those games where, like your sister's in mortal peril at any moment and you're just like let's go pick flowers for 15 minutes?

Speaker 2:

well, no, I mean you're supposed to be trying to find her and you got to go through this, like get through this tunnel to get to a different part of the city where supposedly she's being held. But you got to do these things, so this people will let you through the tunnel.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, and then the one dude who knows but won't tell you, but keeps telling you he will, and then he's like on his deathbed and it's like tell me, tell me what's going on. It's like yo, you got to do this thing, you got to get out of here. Five minutes later he's still alive, he's still standing next to him. He still hasn't told you a damn thing.

Speaker 1:

I'm like.

Speaker 3:

I'd start torturing him.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, there's a lot of that from what I picked up. I don't know.

Speaker 2:

I just spam through all the cut scenes, running around and doing like the Epic parkour. Yeah, doing the parkour stuff will level up your agility to where you can do more stuff, have more stamina and stuff like that.

Speaker 1:

So you can just do like a million chin-ups yeah.

Speaker 3:

I mean, if you just run around, If you do an 80s workout montage, you are unstoppable.

Speaker 2:

You just run around the map continuously jumping and pulling yourself up, climbing ladders and stuff. You'll level up All right. All right, but I don't want to give it a full rank because I haven't played enough of it to determine.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's fair.

Speaker 2:

It's okay so far.

Speaker 1:

That's fair.

Speaker 2:

I'm going to keep playing a little more to see how I like it. Okay, on to my news, your news there's a new Battle Royal coming out.

Speaker 2:

Okay, it's called Off the Grid. It's being made by the author of altered carbon in district nine. As far as like the story, to it interesting and it's a different type of battle royal where it's going to be pve, but 150 people and, like your group or your individual, whatever you do in pve will influence the other groups. Now I don't know if that means like it'll push more enemies towards their theirs until they're eliminated or what, but like each team will be working towards a goal and the better you progress or different things you do in your story will influence the other people and their story, as they're competing to be the last one to make it to whatever Teams of like five.

Speaker 2:

I don't know. It just says there's 150 people.

Speaker 1:

And you're saying that I can't personally murder another player in the game. No, basically, then I'm not playing.

Speaker 2:

Basically you're traveling towards this story point or this. You know, kind of like Outriders, you're trying to get to a certain objective and you know whatever your team does, like say, you kill a bunch of people, it forces like you know, I don't know, like maybe if you were like fighting a tank, it would force them over to the I don't know. I don't know. I'm trying to explain the way they explained it.

Speaker 1:

I was listening to this guy talking crap about outriders and he called it a fart right. That game was so bad but uh, yeah, so you remember Tetris battle Royale. Do we ever play that, or? You just like, the more Tetris you do, the more blocks show up on their people's.

Speaker 2:

There you go. Okay, it's like a more advanced version of that Do good to screw over everybody else.

Speaker 1:

Okay, can you?

Speaker 2:

team kill Because I don't want to hear hey, Tom, you got ammo. Boom. Let's hope not, but it does sound like it might be interesting with the guy that made Altered Carbon in District 9 as far as making the story for it. So I mean, who knows, it's a long ways off Future aliens. It's a long ways off from being like you know done.

Speaker 1:

You know, I can't think of a multiplayer game that's solely multiplayer, where I care about the story. Can you Anybody, anybody?

Speaker 3:

It's been a long time since I cared about a story in a video game.

Speaker 1:

Single-player story games all the way. Remember when EA said that single-player games are dead and the top best-selling games for the past four or five years have been single-player games Like Elden Ring, elden Ring, zelda, all sorts of stuff.

Speaker 2:

The other news I have is like, WWE has wrestling games and they've been putting them out.

Speaker 1:

WWE Battle.

Speaker 3:

Royale, it's just called WrestleMania.

Speaker 2:

The new AEW has a wrestling game that's going to come out and it makes at least from the screenshots they've shown it makes, like the WWE ones, look like real life, because the AEW screenshots that they put the people who like Play-Doh just have this rubbery. Look to them.

Speaker 3:

They might as well just do Celebrity Deathmatch. The game. It's like the Scorpion King looking like the right game.

Speaker 1:

It looks kind of like that they should make Celebrity Deathmatch the game. I think they did at one point, didn't they?

Speaker 2:

I mean like now, like with graphics and graphics. Yeah, the last part of news I have is the day before, which is kind of like the division meets the walking dead. Uh, it's been delayed because they're going to switch to unreal engine 5 and make it next gen console only. Okay, so I can agree with that because it's about time they start. They want to make it better, you know to the uh. It's supposed to have the ray tracing and stuff like that.

Speaker 1:

And this is another zombie game.

Speaker 2:

Well, yeah, it's kind of like. It's a lot like the Division. We'd seen some stuff on it before they had switched to Unreal Engine, but we'd watch the trailer where basically this guy's like sneaking through like a broken-down city, just like the Division, except for there's zombies that are like meandering in, except for there's zombies that are meandering in. But whatever you get in that world, you have to take it back to your base because if you die you lose it. Either you can go back and get it or it's just gone, so you've got to keep your loot, kind of like Tarkov If you die, you lose that stuff.

Speaker 1:

Speaking of that, didn't you say that Modern Warfare 2 has a Battle Royale announced?

Speaker 2:

It does. It's going to have the typical war zone stuff. But then there's I forgot what it was called, but they had a name for it.

Speaker 1:

Specups no Demilitarized Zone, or something like that, something like that.

Speaker 2:

But it's going to be kind of like Tarkov, where it'll be like, I think it's like three teams or four, teams of four or depending on if you have teams of two or whatever, depending on if you have teams of two or whatever but it'll be like a smaller, like maybe 24 people, and you'll go into one big map and then you'll be trying to find loot and stuff like that, complete an objective and then get back out, because if you die, you lose your stuff. Okay, so that's something interesting.

Speaker 1:

All they have to do for multiplayer, for Modern Warfare 2 is just release the original Modern Warfare 2. Yeah, if you want to hear Tom talk about that. Listen to our last special, which was Tom's special. Guess what it was about Modern Warfare.

Speaker 3:

Modern Warfare 2 is the best Call of Duty ever made. Okay.

Speaker 1:

We're doing trivia.

Speaker 2:

What are we?

Speaker 3:

suffering through today.

Speaker 1:
