The Keep Up Podcast

This week! IT’S THE JANUARY SPECIAL!! Our theme for our fully listener-generated special episode this month was the last DECADE! Anything that was released from 2010 - 2020 was fair game! This was the biggest list of suggestions we’ve had so far for one of our specials and there was a TON of awesome stuff to sift through. We watched some incredible movies we’ve never seen and got to talk about som...

This week! Tim fell victim to what may have been the most successful ad scheme he's ever witnessed, and has therefor seen the new NBC show, Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist! But that's not all he fell victim to -- he also saw the most recent iteration of the iconic horror franchise, The Grudge! Plus, there's a lot of Marvel talk to be had with fresh trailers just released for Black Widow and Morbius!...

This week! A SPECIAL EPISODE! The results are in for our weight loss challenge! Tim challenged Brett to lose more weight than him in 1 month, and he put $50.00 AMERICAN DOLLARS on the table! Who will walk away $50.00 (or 2 Amiibos) richer?! Keep up with The Keep Up!

This week! Tim watched The Mandalorian and The Rise of Skywalker so we definitely talk about some Star Wars stuff. Underworld is about 17 years old but is still some parts awesome (but some parts awkward). We also discuss the Scream Season 2 finale, Twitch & streaming, and more! 00:14:31 — STUPID QUESTIONS! Something about aging. 00:21:59 — TV! The Mandalorian, Scream (Season 2 finale) 00:38:51 —...

This week! Tim finally played Fatal Frame and Brett played a 30-year-old baseball game with 2020 in the title on his new modded PlayStation Classic! We also played so many Halo games. Like, almost all of them. We also discuss Flexplay discs, Double Dragon Neon, SNK 40th Anniversary Collection, and more! 00:23:31 — TECHNOLOGY! Flexplay discs, Blu-ray vs. HD DVD 00:36:47 — VIDEO GAMES! Fatal Frame,...

This week! Tim reveals the ultimate secrets of his alter ego; JET STEEL!! He (Tim, not Jet Steel) watched the J.J. Abrams produced Overlord, and thinks it’s…good? Brett’s feeling the latest NF single pretty hard, and has officially discovered his favorite episode of Chris D’Elia’s podcast, Congratulations with Chris D’Elia! He also can’t stop quoting him but he’s working on it. We also discuss Jes...

This week! It’s the DECEMBER SPECIAL!! Another fantastic episode brought to you by YOU! All content discussed was submitted by listeners (y'know, mostly)! We found out some people don’t like some traditions and Tim doesn’t know how he feels about muppets and we try to figure out why the classics are the classics! We also end up discussing The WB Store and The Disney Store and how Tim isn’t sure if...

This week! We saw Frozen II but not at the same time and Tim is so mad! The Quiet Man is NOT Tim’s favorite game of all time! Brett watched Klaus and played Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, and found them both to be at least relatively enjoyable! We also discuss Noelle, Christmas Vacation, El Camino Christmas, Silent Hills, Resident Evil 3 announcements, and more! 00:03:37 — STUPID QUESTIONS! Somethi...

This week! Brett is super stoked on the TMNT episode (go figure) of Netflix’s The Toys That Made Us! We talk about the incredibly unique documentary that is Our Friend Jon, and Tim proposes a duel of epic (but controlled) proportions! We also discuss Schitt’s Creek (season 5), Green Room, Olympus Has Fallen, and more! 00:02:38 — REFLECTIONS! 00:10:34 — TECHNOLOGY! Growing human organs in animals 0...

This week! IT'S EPISODE 100!! If you don't know how we started or you've never listened, we made this episode with you in mind! We delve into the history of The Keep Up! How did we start? What's changed since we started? How much of a disaster is our YouTube channel? We talk about our favorite podcast episodes and YouTube videos, highlights from our 4+ years of content, and where we're at right no...

This week! Another one with content provided by YOU! The theme was food and you guys cooked up some great suggestions (see what I did, there?); everything from animated to real-life food challenges & reality TV to documentaries and classic arcade games! Also there’s another giveaway! Because special! 00:04:23 — TV! Regular Show/food challenges (brought to you by @effie.marie!), A Charlie Brown Tha...

This week! Tim's got a story about a bully on the bus. The Apple TV+ original Dickinson is a super unique take on the poet that Brett knew very little about! Disney+ is relatively fantastic, and Tim is v. excited about some major Game Pass announcements from Xbox’s X019 conference! We also discuss Scream, the Netflix original ReBoot: The Guardian Code, Panzer Dragoon, Sega Saturn, and more! 00:17:...

This week! We recorded this so late! Tim thinks VHS might be coming back! Could the format make the same aggressive comeback that vinyl’s made?! Brett talks Rob Zombie movies, Scream, and some other genre-similar stuff as he tries his hardest to wrap up his season of horror! We also discuss plans for our upcoming special, a *very* little bit about Resident Evil 2, and like, maybe some other stuff....

This week! What a weird episode! Brett gets blindsided by a question from Tim about his perspective on life and taking risks since having kids. Oh, and is binge-watching bad for you? Not for like, your health (because yeah, probably), but for like, other reasons? Yeah, we think maybe! We also discuss some hard-hitting toaster-related questions, Disney+, Apple TV+, and more! 00:28:43 — STUPID QUEST...

This week! YOU decided the content and now you have our FIRST OFFICIAL SPECIAL!! With stories and suggestions from our friends, an episode-long analysis of anthologies (and what even is one), a giveaway, and an impromptu original Halloween jingle by Tim — how could this not be the greatest episode of The Keep Up Podcast ever to be released?! 00:18:34 — TV! Tales From the Crypt (brought to you by C...

This week! We've got a big one! JOKER has finally hit theaters and it takes up our entire movies segment (there's a lot to discuss). Tim is really excited about Devil May Cry 5 and our long-time friend and once guest-host Andrew has a sweet new podcast with a name that took Brett way too long to figure out! We also discuss Buffy the Vampire Slayer, YouTube, the 90s, the Gears of War series, Slipkn...

This week! Tim is pretty worked up about this not-quite-a-documentary that he watched and can't figure out if he's being a jerk about it. Brett saw Mission: Impossible - Fallout & John Wick (finally), and reading a collection of short stories like those in The Best Horror of the Year Volume 11 turns out to be a pretty unique and exciting way to examine a genre. We also discuss An American Werewolf...

This week! Brett finally finished watching The Office in it's entirety which left him unexpectedly sad, and he just couldn't live without John Krasinski so he watched (and quickly finished) the Amazon Prime Original, Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan. Tim played a slew of garbage games, one of which was NOT Perception, and it's high time we admit that one of the greatest games of all time - Shadow of the Col...

This week! Brett watched Goosebumps (yeah, more Goosebumps) which sparked quite the nostalgia wave (very exciting). He also watched 47 Meters Down and wonders if shark movies are even good. Oh, and another thing: How similar is Bloober Team's Layers of Fear to their recently released Blair Witch? (spoiler alert: quite similar)And speaking of scary games, Tim tells us the scariest thing ever about...

This week! Clowns are creepy and on an unrelated note, we saw It: Chapter Two! Brett almost couldn’t finish Blair Witch, the new horror game from Bloober Team, and Gears 5 breathes new life into the Gears of War franchise! We also discuss the Netflix original Polar, Deadfall Adventures, Disney+, and more! 00:08:41 — REFLECTIONS! Brett’s huge mistake. 00:14:07 — STUPID QUESTIONS! 00:21:43 — MOVIES!...

This week! Tim watched some Goosebumps and found out the Night of the Living Dummy series doesn’t understand numbers. Netflix’s Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Gauntlet keeps the magic of the classic series going, and One Leaves is a sleeper indie gem with a twist and a message! We also discuss Disney+ announcements, The Haunting of Hill House, The Order, Haunt (trailer), World of Warcraft Class...

This week! Back to the Future is still great, and consuming media may or may not make you a more likable person, but who is Back to the Future The Game for?? And another thing(s): Oxenfree is a magnificent game that we barely want to tell you anything about and Outlast is the best, worst, most terrifying kind of experience. 10/10 would recommend. We also discuss Mortal Kombat 11, lost media from o...

This week! Tim saw Hobbs & Shaw, the new Fast & Furious spinoff, which begs the question: Are big, dumb action movies really that dumb? We also saw Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, the new movie developed by show-favorite, Guillermo del Toro. Was it wonderful? Probably! Was the experience ruined by the ending, or could that have just been the teenage girls behind us in the theater..? Oh and have...

This week! Nintendo has announced a [kinda sorta] new console! Is the Switch Lite sweet or nah? Tim played one of the greatest SNES games of all time — Sunset Riders — and The Walking Dead has come to an abrupt end in the land of comics (and maybe TV, we don’t know, we’re way behind. But also, no, the show is still running). KFC has partnered up with Cheetos for some new fast food monstrosities (i...

This week! Prepare yourself for the dark, heart-wrenching tale of the podcast that got away! It's a trying tale to say the least, but it's one that at least sheds some light on our [most] recent absence. We watched a cartoon called Costume Quest that gave us all the cartoony feels. Tim thinks we may finally have a no-contest "best video game movie ever" with Detective Pikachu, and we have some str...
