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 feelin...

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 e...

I'll discuss the people who play the beloved characters in Unc...

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...

Hi everyone! Welcome to the thirteenth episode of Recomendies . The ole baker's dozen, and what a topic I have for you. Join me and myself as we discuss the Netflix crime mockumentary series, American Vandal .

Hello everyone! Welcome to the tenth episode of Recomendies! Wow, double digits at last. I truly thought the day would come, and now it has. For our first bi-numeral episode, I decided to talk about the fantastic series Fleabag , starring the incredibly talented Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Beloved by critics and audiences alike, Fleabag is one of those shows that, despite its short runtime, stays with y...

Join me and my good friend Alex Walkon as we discuss the 2016 Shane Black film, The Nice Guys . It's fitting Alex is on this episode, because as anyone who knows him can attest, he really is an incredibly nice guy. Fresh off of a viewing of the film, Alex and I talk all about how good the cas...

Welcome the eighth episode of Recomendies! In today's episode, we focus on the 2003 smash hit book, The Da Vinci Code . The thought train certainly got off its tracks a couple of times in this one, but I think it led to some insightful (in my mind) discourse about people being able to enjoy what they like no matter what the critics might say. This one was a lot of fun to record, and I hope you enj...

Hi everyone! Welcome to the seventh episode of Recomendies. This week, we're looking at the hit comedy/drama/detective show, Psych . I really loved talking about this show, and it solidified itself as one of my favorites back when I was a wee lad in the early days of middle school. It's really funny, has interesting plot lines, and above all, has a bangin' theme song. I definitely recommend Psych...

Welcome to the sixth episode of Recomendies! We've finally gotten to a movie, and this one's a real treat. Joining me is my longtime friend and few-time bar trivia partner, Ben Schuster!

In this episode, we talk about the video game series Animal Crossing , and Megan gives us some insight as to why this she likes this game despite not being a huge gamer. It's cute, relaxed, and more or less just a chill time as far as video g...

Hi everyone, welcome to the fourth episode of Recomendies! We're back to a solo episode, so this one's a little shorter. It's the first TV show episode, and I think we started off with a pretty good one; HBO's Chernobyl . I talk (to the best of my ability) about the real life event that the show depicts, as well as what I think makes the show great. Some parts of the episode get a little science-y...

Welcome to episode three of Recomendies! We have another guest, and folks, this one's a doozy. Jazz guitarist extraordinaire and all-around wonderful person Luke Sittard joins the show to talk about The Night Game , a rock/alternative album by the band, The Night Game. It's a first music episode, and boy, did the conversation ever flow. Luke and I discuss everything from John Mayer, his own musica...

Welcome to the second episode of Recomendies, our first episode with a guest! I talk with one of my older brothers, Matthew Peters, about a video game we both hold in very high regard: Firewatch. We discuss everything from the striking visual style of the game, the amazing performances by the two leads, and our thoughts on video games and gaming as a whole. This episode is definitely a lot longer,...

Welcome to the debut episode of Recomendies, a podcast where I, Adam Peters, recommend some of my favorite pieces of media that I think more people should check out. Keep in mind I have basically zero authority on the subject, and I've also never done a podcast by myself before... oh well, I hope you enjoy the episode! Each week, we'll focus on one book, movie, TV show, video game, or album, and I...
