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.
