Episode 2 - Hideo Kojima and Video Games as Art/MCU versus DCEU

Andy and Jeff kick off this episode of The Six Pack and a Song Podcast reminiscing on their experiences playing the various entries to the Metal Gear franchise. This segues into a discussion of Hideo Kojima's stated views that video games are not and cannot be art—a view many have found bewildering considering how creative, inspired, and purposeful his work tends to be. They spend most of the second half of the episode discussing the virtues and flaws of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the DC Extended Universe, offering differing opinions on the films Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Captain America: Civil War.

Episode 1 - Book Clubs and Jason Bourne

On the first episode of The Six Pack and a Song Podcast, Andy and Jeff talk about a variety of subjects. A bit of chatting about a fantasy book club that Andy is a part of leads to a broader discussion of fantasy fiction in general and The Lord of the Rings in particular, then to the world's deadliest spy, Jason Bourne. It isn't all fun and games, though, and the boys have a deeper conversation about the moral complexities of enjoying art by artists who commit serious misdeeds. They also give a brief overview of some of their plans for 2021, which involve an exciting new theme for their other podcast, Parking Lot Critiques. So pull up a chair, take this cold beer, and hang with the minds behind Six Pack and a Song for this first episode of The Six Pack and a Song Podcast.
