  Episode #109

  Episode 109: Space Zombies Now?

  Aug 27, 20261h 21m

  Episode 109: Space Zombies Now? We're getting geared up for DragonCon in a couple of weeks, so we're kind of all over the place at the beginning. A few chickens were indeed chased! We're back for another segment of Bad Pitches. Connor is forced to develop the plot for a sci-fi TV show where robots learn how to relate to the human race... but all they know about humanity is what they learn by binge-watching sitcoms. And apparently time travel got involved somehow as well. Go figure... In our Roll for Credits segment, we take a look at the 2013 sci-fi survival flick starring Liev Schreiber, The Last Days on Mars. I reckon space zombies are a thing now? Um, we had thoughts. That's for sure. And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens. Lots of chickens. Thanks for listening, and make sure to give us a 5-star review on your favorite podcasting service!

  Episode #108

  Episode 108: Winter Lamb FTW!

  Aug 16, 20261h 12m

  Episode 108: Winter Lamb FTW! The episode starts off with some good banter on our recent video game obsessions and returns, as well as Connor new classroom and Sean's gushing over the recent DCI World Championships. (Once a band geek, always a band geek...) We then dive into dark and unexpected places with one of our new segments... "What's in Connor's Head?" It's always a crap shoot! Today, he asked, "If you had to choose between being treated for a medical issue by Hawkeye Piece of M*A*S*H 4077, or House, M.D. of, well, House M.D., who would you pick and why?" I don't know why this popped in his head, but there you go. Of course, we landed on opposite sides of the question. In our Roll for Credits segment, we check out the 2026 Prime Video family-friendly whodunnit, Sheep Detectives! It was quite the enjoyable movie with an unexpected big cast of both actors and voiceovers! A pleasant surprise! And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens. Lots of chickens.

  Episode #107

  Episode 107: Good Mill Hunting?

  Jul 30, 20261h 25m

  Episode 107: Good Mill Hunting? In another of our new segments, Patch Notes, we take some of our favorite properties - games, movies, TV, and add a few "patches" to improve our tried and true favorites! Mass Effect and Ghost Recon particularly got some love... or hate? What favorites would you patch? In our Roll for Credits segment, we check out the 2020 video game action movie adaptation, Monster Hunter, starring Milla Jovovich. Connor's the Monster Hunter fan, so he had more to say. Sean was largely just, well, meh. And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens. Lots of chickens.

  Episode 106: The Bad, Bad West

  Jun 29, 20261h 26m

  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!

  Jun 14, 20261h 22m

  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!
