Go home, there probably won't be other films like these. I'm joined by Jeremy Greer and Evan Jones Thorne to talk about the recent Dark Tower film adaptation. The episode is nearly twice as long as the movie itself, but there's a lot to talk about here. So grab some popcorn and hear us lament the death of op...

Kole, Ben, Dennis, and David talk about West of Loathing, Hellblade, and we ask you which games you love to watch.

While Takashi Tokita was working to update Final Fantasy IV for the Nintendo DS, he felt a longing to return to the Blue Planet and revisit the story of Cecil and the gang. What resulted was a strange plan: to releas...

After the Bill Berry left the band, R.E.M. had to make the biggest adjustment of their 18 year career. Previous reinventions happened on their own time, and at their own discretion. The shifts into clearer lyrics, into softer instrumentation, and into cocky rock were nothing compared to losing 1/4 of their band. The album tha...

Maybe FMV games are actually good and fun? That's what we've concluded after we played Sewer Shark, with Night Trap and Contradiction in mind.

This adaptation came out of nowhere, but apparently it's been coming for a long time. Back in 2007, Konami reached out to Warren Ellis to write a movie script for them, adapting Castlevania to the screen. Ten years later, that movie became a Netflix series. And people seem to love it.
If only it was that easy. Because w...

This week Gary and Jeremy wrap up Season 03 in style. First up is Nightcrawler, which you may think is just about Nightcrawler, but is actually about the X-Men's Wacky Winter Wonderland Wacation. It's BONKERS. Then it's on to Weapon X, Lies, and Video Tapes, the episode name we were shocked to find is 100% a...
