Ep.2 - Gears of War

Star Wars Prequel Movie Marathon

Hit pause on the early 2000s video games because today, we are traveling to a galaxy far, far away! In this special bonus episode, Tanner drags Kyle away from the controller and forces him onto the couch for an epic, back-to-back movie marathon of Star Wars: Episodes I, II, and III. But here’s the real kicker: This is Kyle’s first time ever watching these movies. That’s right. Kyle has somehow managed to survive decades of pop culture without witnessing pod racing, hearing the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise, or experiencing the absolute heartbreak of Mustafar. Will the high-flying lightsaber duels, early-2000s CGI, and political drama of the Galactic Senate turn Kyle into a lifelong Star Wars defender? Or will we finally discover that he’s been actively avoiding the franchise for a reason? Grab your popcorn, channel your inner Jedi, and join us for a wild ride filled with fresh-eyes commentary, Tanner’s relentless lore-dumping, and the ultimate verdict on the Prequel Trilogy. May the Force be with Kyle’s attention span. Send your game recommendations here! Include the game title and your name so we can give you a shoutout!

Ep. 5 - The Last of Us

In this episode, Kyle and Tanner brave the cordyceps-infested world of The Last of Us, but surviving the apocalypse is only half the battle. What starts as a deep dive into Joel and Ellie’s traumatic journey quickly spirals into a series of legendary tangents that only this duo could pull off. Between dodging Clickers and debating gameplay mechanics, the guys find themselves deconstructing the ethics of the death penalty, uncovering the bizarre reality of a werewolf sex hotline, and critiquing the latest round of movie trailers. Whether you’re here for the survival horror or the supernatural phone services, join us for a chaotic blend of high-stakes drama and absolute absurdity—just don’t expect us to stay on track for more than five minutes at a time.  Send your game recommendations here!

Tanner and Kyle finally cross "The Forbidden Lands" off their bucket list as they experience the 2005 Team Ico masterpiece for the very first time.
