The Pixel Response

What happens when a movie does so poorly and fails so spectacularly that it almost kills the career of everyone involved? Why, you pick yourself up and make one of the best follow-up movies in your resume! ...But we aren't there yet. We need to watch this first, the movie that had the writing of the Coen Brothers, the directorial eye and style of Sam Raimi with Bruce Campbell playing a douchebag(?...

The time has come to say goodbye. We catch up with Guts as he explains to Judeau his reasonings for leaving and the introspection of how he feels about a bunch of things, not least of all Casca. Oh, speaking of, there she is... with Griffith? If Guts thinks Griffith is going to let him leave without a fight, he's DEAD wrong! Chapters Discussed: 034. "The Morning Departure (1)" (旅立ちの朝(1), Tabi...

Here it is. The quintessential horror movie that shaped a lot of Paul's early life. The movie that was the inspiration for this podcast title. The movie that kicked off the careers of multiple people and what Sam Raimi for most of us will always be known for. It all starts in a little cabin with a piece of plywood, a camera and a dream... "Five friends travel to a cabin in the woods, where they un...

It's war time...again? Technically, it has been for the last 100 years! Thank god that this fortress of Doldrey has never been captured by any army. Imagine if a band of mercenaries was somehow able to do what literal countries before couldn't... Chapters Discussed: 023. "The Battle for Doldrey (1)" (ドルドレイ攻略戦(1), Dorudorei Kōryakusen (1)) 024. "The Battle for Doldrey (2)" (ドルドレイ攻略戦...

Welcome to the Summer of Sam (Raimi)! We're gonna deep dive into this master of horror's movies from the start including some of his lesser known hits, beginning with 2 short films showcasing the two different sides of Sam's style. Buckle in, bucko! The film tells the story of a family whose uncle is murdered. The son ( Sam Raimi ) gets everything because he is in the will. A detective ( Scott Spi...

Strap in because we're learning all about Casca, the "woman" character who is that and so much more. From her beginnings to her introduction to Griffith and finally where she stands with Guts and why she's been kinda nasty to him until now. Also, Guts kills a hundred men and makes an important life decision. Because of course he does. Chapters Discussed: 015. " Casca (1) " 016. " Casca (2) " 017....

Okay, we bit off too much here. We get our first real-time "monster" fight and some interesting info about Griffith's beherit and a LOT, and I mean A WHOLE LOT of character building between the Band of the Hawk and, specifically, Guts, Griffith and Casca. Lots of political intrigue, giant battles and armor fashioned after whales with some of the best art we've seen yet! Strap in for a long discuss...

Time to go back to the past to read the shitty life that sucks ass. Seriously, what a messed up childhood! Thankfully, some new... "friends"?... are on the horizon...

The Mandalorian needed a little more baking in the oven so why don't we read from the Book of... Boba Fett? Who cares about Boba Fett?? Hosted by: Paul ( https://twitter.com/exfauxsure ) Hank ( https://twitter.com/ComicPanels )

Happy New Year! Paul and Hank get together after the long holiday season to discuss their thoughts on the finale of Hawkeye. Sorry for it being late.  Hosted by: Paul ( https://twitter.com/exfauxsure ) Hank ( https://twitter.com/ComicPanels )

Now that Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City is more easily accessible to the masses who don't feel like contracting the real-life version of the T-Virus by going to a theater, I decided to sit down and re-watch it a second time while talking about parts I like, dislike, reasons for such and some game comparisons. NOTE: You must find your own copy of the movie! This is only an audio track to ac...

We meet the leader of the Tracksuit Draculas, Echo, and find out why she hates the Ronin so much. Maybe, too much? Also, Jack is dirty af, the LARPers are back and an old "friend's" past has arrived to cause some troubles. These episodes are way too short. Hosted by: Paul ( https://twitter.com/exfauxsure ) Hank ( https://twitter.com/ComicPanels )

It's here... the newest addition to the niche of "movies that have Resident Evil in the name" has released and, upon hearing it to be "more accurate to the games" was on the top of things to do for one person here. Sit back and enjoy our thoughts on this movie from the perspective of a turbo-geek and a regular person and stay tuned afterwards for a giant ramble that will only make sense if you're...

We're back! The MCU has been in the midst of introducing the new important characters to take the reigns of the Avengers for a bit now, but perhaps none have been as exciting as seeing how they would do Kate Bishop. So, with the first 2 episodes of the Disney+ Hawkeye now out, Hank and I dust off the old microphones to talk some MCUniverse. Hosted by: Paul ( https://twitter.com/exfauxsure ) Hank (...

On the revival on Survive the Night, we talk about the new Korean Netflix dark fantasy show Hellbound. This episode of the podcast will focus on the first half of the series, episodes 1 to 3. Stay tuned for our final thoughts on the next episode. "Unearthly beings deliver condemnations, sending individuals to hell and giving rise to a religious group founded on the idea of divine justice." Episode...

What would you do for the amount of money that could change your life overnight? What lengths would you go to and what games would you play? "Hundreds of cash-strapped contestants accept an invitation to compete in children's games for a tempting prize, but the stakes are deadly."

Paul and Hank sit down, travel through time to prune the bullshit and find out what exactly IS at the end of time itself... Also, we talk a bunch about the TV show.

Welcome to the Pixel Response Sports Podcasting Network. This week, we run down the Nagoya Basho final week in sumo wrestling and talk the finer points of basketball as portrayed in Space Jam: A New Legacy. Also, is the Steam Deck something worth looking into? In short, not really. Bonus points: is the Golden Age of TV dead?

The Nagoya Basho is well underway! Nathan and Paul give a rundown of the first 10 days of the tournament so and Paul discusses getting things together for a Fantasy Sumo League for the next time (if you want in, join the discord at the bottom of the show notes). The boys rundown their thoughts about the new season of Rick & Morty while also getting ready for Space Jam: A New Legacy. Nathan rec...

It's heat week in Calgary as the boys are losing their minds due to a "heat dome" or something. At least it's just their minds they're losing as things could be much worse... Nathan moves on to Mass Effect 3 and hits a bump in his Mass Erection while Paul wraps up NieR. Speaking of games, what about those video game intros? What makes a good one? Well, we talk about it. Sumo Nagoya Basho has begun...

Nathan is back with tales of hot shingles in his area. In the mean time he's been playing lots more Mass Effect while Paul is almost done with NieR. Nathan decides to use his Pixel Response clout to get an early copy of Mini Motorways for PC which sparks some discussion on E3s of yore and lines being drawn in the sand between Large Explosives and New Frontiers. This week's Hidden Treasures: Onimus...

It's Sumo-mania as the boys spend almost a whole hour talking about the Natsu Basho finals that just happened last weekend. Lots to say about the tournament, sumo in general and how under-represented the sport is in video games. Speaking of video games, Nathan is super into Mass Effect again and Paul is disappointed in Resident Evil Village speedruns (and wonders about them all in general due to i...

It's a big week for sports as the Sumo Championships or whatever Nathan is super into is getting spicy. Also, basketball, but that's less important right now. What IS important, however, is having a vehicle, especially if you live in Calgary and ESPECIALLY if you work where we work. Which we do. Nathan's car chronicles are coming to an end. Also, Clerks 2 conversation gets us looking back at a les...

We dive into some of our favorite video games of all time thanks to a viral Twitter thread that's been going around. Nathan tries to get his face into NBA2K21 to horrifying results and the two wonder about the future of hometown hero developers Bioware. Also, was there anything worth discussing from 2014 and was Titanfall 2 good? --- If you want to leave a voice message, apparently you can use thi...
