If the answer isn’t “uh, obviously” then you probably have a vague idea that maybe some kind of superhero-based game exists or something and you’re just not ready for something that complex, so you’ll just stick to the classics. Also you’ll append liter…

Five Nights at Freddy’s was a bad jump scare horror game about animatronic mascot characters who kill you or something. This trend has exploded into a disgustingly bloated pustule of fan games and ripoffs to the point that Secret Gaygent 69 plays them for us sometimes and he never runs out of content. So we’re gonna read a document that’s descripti…

Kelsi and Trey explore the Caesar trilogy beginning with Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

After we spent 2 hours reading only half of the document, we realized there was no way we could do the goons justice in one sitting, so we made another episode that’s just more Something Awful anime recommendations. There’s fewer isekais in this one, but that’s just because we’re going backwards so we’re more in the past when isekais weren’t the on…

Kelsi and Trey finish off their anti-war series and begin their Emily Blunt discussion with the very thrilling and politically complicated Denis Villeneuve's Sicario.

Several years back, The Heavenator brought us a bunch of anime recommendations straight from the Something Awful Forums’ recommendation thread. The rule was we had to interpret each anime as they were described, with no outside knowledge permitted to taint our observations. The results were pretty goofy to say the least, so we did it again! But oop…

Kelsi and Trey react and deep dive Alex Garland’s Civil War. While a technical feat, Civil War is politically unchallenging and lacks a nuanced confrontation as an anti-war movie.

Kelsi and Trey explore the most emotionally compelling and gripping movie of 2023 in Anatomy of a Fall.

Triet imposes imagination …
