The Game Room Where It Happens: Fortnite (Series Finale)

We look back on Fortnite’s rise from 2017 obsession to cultural platform, and we explain why our “Game Room Where It Happens” series ends on this chapter. The conversation explores wins, burnout, evolving tastes, and how streaming has changed our approach to play. • Early days of Battle Royale and learning to build • The thrill of first wins and nightly squad runs • Crossovers that reshaped the game’s identity • Why Fortnite still lasts through constant change • Battle passes, value in free-to-play, and fatigue • Shifting to PC, roguelikes, and stream-friendly games • When challenges became chores and fun dipped • Favorite past episodes and community memories Interested in watching us play games?

International Feature: The Roses

We take a frank look at The Roses, a sharp, dark-tinged romance that turns a dream house into a proxy war for pride, ambition, and resentment. Chemistry carries the story, while tone shifts, pacing, and a volatile finale spark debate about how far the satire should go. • Modern reimagining of War of the Roses • Lead performances that mix bite with vulnerability • Dark comedy balanced with uneasy dinner-party tension • Ambition vs failure as the marriage’s pressure point • Supporting cast adding levity and occasional whiplash • Pacing concerns in the third act escalation Letterbox'd Synopsis: Life seems easy for picture-perfect couple Ivy and Theo: successful careers, a loving marriage, great kids. But beneath the façade of their supposed ideal life, a storm is brewing – as Theo’s career nosedives while Ivy’s own ambitions take off, a tinderbox of fierce competition and hidden resentment ignites. 🔻You can find all important links for the podcast over at https://linktr.ee/waitforitpodcast [https://linktr.ee/waitforitpodcast]🔺 🔻BACKGROUND MUSIC PROVIDED BY: Ocean by KV https://soundcloud.com/kvmusicprod  Free Download / Stream: http://bit.ly/2OCvpHU Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/a8ctDtA7OK8 — Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported  — CC BY 3.0 🔺  Enjoyed the episode?

Late To The Party - Prey

We dive into the Predator universe through Prey and find a lean, authentic thriller that restores menace to the monster while spotlighting a compelling Comanche lead. We weigh practical effects against wobbly CGI, praise the setting and representation, and debate pacing, violence, and franchise future. • Casting a primarily Native team and Comanche language option • Amber Midthunder’s grounded lead performance and character build • Practical suit work and period-appropriate Predator design • Weak CG animals versus strong creature effects • The trappers set piece and creative kill design • Pacing risks in the first hour and payoff balance • Franchise context and hopes for Badlands and crossovers Letterbox'd Synopsis: When danger threatens her camp, the fierce and highly skilled Comanche warrior Naru sets out to protect her people. But the prey she stalks turns out to be a highly evolved alien predator with a technically advanced arsenal. 🔻You can find all important links for the podcast over at https://linktr.ee/waitforitpodcast [https://linktr.ee/waitforitpodcast]🔺 🔻BACKGROUND MUSIC PROVIDED BY: "Extenz - Gravity" is under a Creative Commons license Music promoted by BreakingCopyright: https://bit.ly/extenz-gravity 🔺 Enjoyed the episode?

What Did I Miss? (October 2025 Bonus Episode)

This month, we welcome back Sophie, aka Soupninjaha, and for the first time, Blythe Milligan, host of the Everything is Logistics Podcast and one-half of the brain behind Jax Podcasters United [https://jaxpodcastersunited.com/].  We stack Universal’s Epic Universe against Disney’s current strategy and ask what families actually value: price, polish, and memory-making. Then we follow the money from bloated blockbusters to horror’s lean machine, and explore how IMAX, the Sphere, and fan-first screenings are redefining the movie night. • Epic Universe’s creative swing versus Disney’s maintenance and pricing headwinds • How themed events like Halloween Horror Nights create con-like community • live-action adaptations that work, those that don’t, and what should stay animated • Universal’s demographic plays in Vegas and Frisco, and what it means for Disney • Why studios are trimming tentpoles and why horror keeps winning • The rise of premium formats: IMAX, Alamo, and immersive venues like the Sphere • The thrill of mystery boxes and the hunt driving modern retail fandom Make sure to join us at Jacksonville Podcasters United Pod-A-Thon in December to support local creators and charities!
