The Bear with Anish Tamhaney

Welcome to the 19th episode of Recomendies! Today I am joined by the wonderful and always insightful Anish Tamhaney, as we discuss the FX/Hulu hit culinary series, The Bear. We talk about our favorite characters and performances from the show, competitive cooking shows, and more in an episode that was a true joy to record. Thank you for listening chefs, and godspeed.

Junji Ito

Hi everyone, welcome to the 18th episode of Recomendies! We have our third book-focused episode, and this is a topic I've been looking forward to talking about. Today, I discuss the horror manga icon Junji Ito, author and artist extraordinaire. I give a little bit on his background, a brief definition and history of manga, and visit my middle school Goodreads page. I also discuss my own feelings on the horror genre and why it seems so interesting to me. I know it's June, so spooky season is not nigh, but I think any season can be spooky season if you believe hard enough. Thank you for listening and keep an eye out for more episodes in the future!

Our Favorite Video Games with Matthew Peters

Hi everyone! Welcome to episode 17 of Recomendies. Today, we did something a little different. No Wikis were visited and no critic or audience receptions were researched. Instead, I and my brother Matt decided to list some of our top 5 video games of all time and go into why they are our favorites. This is a beefy one, but I think the conversation more than makes up for the length. We talk about everything from big budget superhero games to smaller projects that delve into the meaning of art and the relationship between creator and consumer. Who knows, maybe we'll suggest you one of YOUR top five games! SPOILERS WARNING If you want to avoid spoilers for The Last of Us: Part II and Uncharted 4, skip to 16:45 when prompted. I really really urge you to avoid this part of the episode if you aren't familiar with these games or their stories (Alex Walkon I am talking to you (also check out Closing The Gap (Year) if you haven't!))

The Uncharted Series

Hi everyone! Welcome to the sixteenth episode of Recomendies! Today, join me as I talk about one of my favorite video game series' of all time: Uncharted. The globe-trotting, swashbuckling, pulse-pounding adventure games truly did revolutionize the landscape of video games, and if you've played them you can surely see why. I'll discuss the people who play the beloved characters in Uncharted, the studio that created it, and also give my own personal top five favorite video games. I hope you enjoy this one, eep an eye out for more episodes in the future!

Geowizard

Hi everyone! Welcome to the 15th episode of Recomendies, the first to focus on a Youtube channel! Today, we take a look at Geowizard, a channel featuring gaming, mischief, adventure, good music, and just overall cozy vibes. We'll discuss what the channel is, why I like it so much, and why I think you should to. Tom Davies really is a wizard when it comes to geography, and it turns out he's pretty darn good at the whole Youtube thing too.
