The Keep Up Podcast

  This week! Ok we talk about other stuff but *mainly* Godzilla Minus One, which is absolutely as good as you’ve heard, and if you haven’t heard, it’s inCREDible. (The theatrical release in the US just got an extended stay, so go immediately to your nearest theater!)  We also discuss The Crystal Maze, Hubie Halloween, and more!     00:10:05 — STUPID QUESTIONS! Something about soda being spicy 00:1...

This week! In its entirety, the new Goosebumps show is…ok! Tim has some mixed feelings about the *very* high-grossing video-game-to-movie adaptation of Five Nights at Freddy’s, and United Airlines has just entered the holiday movie game with their straight-to-YouTube short film, Love in Plane Sight!  We also discuss Netflix’s Blue Eye Samurai, Jingle All the Way, and more!   00:16:45 — REFLECTIONS...

  This week! Resident Evil: Death Island adds another fun low-stakes action animation to the franchise, and we discuss the oddity that is Universal’s failed “Dark Universe”, which kinda started with Dracula Untold, but then *actually* started and mostly(?) ended with The Mummy..? Yeah idk, it’s pretty weird.   We also discuss Warner Bros. shelving multiple fully completed films, and more!      00:...

  This week! Onimusha is a new anime based on a Capcom game nobody’s talked about in years, and it rules! Troll is a must-see Norwegian monster movie for kaiju fans, and When Evil Lurks is absolutely one of the best & most shocking horror movies we’ve seen all year -- *maybe* ever!  We also discuss Attack on Titan, Cobweb, @goati_’s Gamer of the Year Challenge, and more!   00:09:15 — TV! Onimu...

  This week! Whoa. This is a lot of episode. It’s post-Halloween and we’ve got some stories! We’ve also got a shared note simply *brimming* with movies and video games that we *really* want to talk about, and we may have decided to clean it out on this episode. 🤷 You’re welcome! Mike Flanagan continues to grow his impressive resumé with the addition of his Edgar Allan Poe-inspired The Fall of the...

This week! It's back! It's the *5th* annual October special! We go back to 1990 for one of the cheesiest movies we've ever seen, argue about whether you should watch Ti West's X or Pearl first, and explore how Tim's skepticism ruined one of this year's spooky recommendations for him! It's all so October-y! 00:06:35 — REFLECTIONS! PG-13 spooky movies, the violence in Ter...

  This week! The latest episodic take on R.L. Stine’s beloved Goosebumps series isn’t structured *quite* how one might expect (or want), but is it still kind of a little bit cool? 🤔 Despite barely being able to get into the theater due to a certain concert film (holy Swifties 😳), Tim was able to catch Saw X, and The Machine, a new comedy starring comedian Bert Kreischer, made Brett cry during an...

  This week! Netflix’s animated Castlevania series is BACK and gnarly as ever! Hulu's original film Zombie Town, based on an R.L. Stine novel, is maybe not exactly our favorite movie of all time! Day Shift balances comedy and gory action a *little* better than Renfield, and we discover that Tim refers to Leatherface as the “Chainsaw Massacre”...like as a name!  We also discuss Disney’s upcomin...

  This week! Netflix's animated series Skull Island offers us more massive monsters! Tim saw The Texas Chainsaw Massacre for the first time and -- despite his hatred for 70s films -- mostly dug it, and Opal, a short you can stream on Adult Swim's YouTube channel, employs what is *maybe* the scariest animation style in history! We also discuss Beetlejuice, Thirteen Ghosts, Hell House LLC, a...

  This week! How much do *you* think Disney’s new 100-film collection costs? Spoiler alert: it’s a lot. Killer Klowns from Outer Space is about as campy as it gets in maybe the best way possible, and Mortal Kombat 1 is a whole new era for the classic fighting franchise!  We also discuss Inside starring Willem Dafoe, Haunt, paying extra money for early access to games, and more! 00:10:50 — MOVIES!...

  This week! Tim watched Midnight Mass and isn’t sure how he feels about it! With only 3 maps, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre game is better than Dead by Daylight, and if you enjoyed Blasphemous, you’ll be happy to know that — although we may not have any idea what’s happening — Blasphemous 2 carries on the excellence in visuals and gameplay!  We also discuss Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (trailer), R...

  This week! Did Meg 2: The Trench hit theaters with abysmal reviews? Of *course* it did! BUT. What did Brett think of it? 🤔 Tim somehow describes The Pope’s Exorcist as a “superhero movie”, and Za Dude Pizza Co. is a pop-up pizza company that you *absolutely* want to sling a 'za directly at you. 🍕  We also discuss the Saw franchise, the Paqui One Chip Challenge, and more! 00:22:10 — MOVIES!...

  This week! Adult Swim has claimed more real estate than ever over at Cartoon Network and as a result, we’ve been blessed with some throwback cartoons in a block called “Checkered Past”! Elemental is sort of getting overlooked which Tim says it certainly should *not* be, and A24’s Talk to Me shows explores just how addicting the land of the dead can be!  We also discuss a hilariously strange Tab...

  This week! How do we feel about a new segment?! Well, Brett decided Tim is doing one, so that’s that, I guess. (It’s got a name, but who can remember such a thing at the moment?) Brett loves Over the Garden Wall, and Tim’s watching his way through his Netflix queue and has already watched 47* movies this week, including the 2017 sci-fi film, What Happened to Monday, and Brett's recommendatio...

  This week! MUTANT MAYHEM IS FINALLY HERE!! Did Brett tear up the first time he watched the new TMNT movie? Did he see it immediately the day after his first viewing, totaling 2 viewings before the release date even hit?! Who knows! Tim watched Netflix’s newest animated feature, Nimona, and Twisted Metal for the original PlayStation *may* not hold up quite as well as one might hope. 😬  We also d...

  This week! Barbie is a blast but Tim doesn’t know how to laugh! He also thinks everyone in Jerry Maguire sucks, and that The Outlast Trials is exactly what Dead by Daylight *should* be!  We also discuss Chick-fil-A's mac & cheese, and more!   00:08:05 — MOVIES! Barbie, Jerry Maguire 00:30:15 — VIDEO GAMES! The Outlast Trials 00:45:05 — Chick-fil-A mac & cheese Keep up with The Keep U...

  This week! Why are all of these new movies so long and awesome?! Mission Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1 checks off all of the expected boxes (in a good way), Oppenheimer is another massive, beautiful & artful film under Christopher Nolan’s belt, and Capcom’s Exoprimal reminded Tim how much he likes dinosaurs!  We also discuss Disney’s Dinosaur, Condemned: Criminal Origins, The Darkness I...

 This week! We’ve got a box of snacks from London! Extraction II is a long, *incredible* action scene that also happens to have a movie in it! The Flash might not be as bad as some have made it out to be, and Space Jam: A New Legacy - The Game is [maybe surprisingly] a *pretty* fun game, and it’s free!  We also discuss the Captions app, Friday the 13th: The Game, and more! 00:10:50 — TECHNOLOGY! C...

 This week! Brett tells the tale of his WORST visit to a gas station in the history of his existence! RoboCop (’87) and Night of the Living Dead both seem to stand the test of time, the DC animated feature Constantine: City of Demons is *surprisingly* violent, and Dance With the Dead is the perfect soundtrack for every day of your life lived in an 80s video game or action movie!  We also discuss G...

 This week! It’s our 250th episode!!!! So of *course* that means we’ll be sharing 7 of our top 7 lists of…THINGS! Why, you ask? Oh man, you’re gonna be so embarrassed when you listen and we tell you why. It’s crazy obvious. BUT HERE’S THE THING. This is a *mutual* top 7. We need to AGREE on these lists. Is it wild? Oh yeah. It’s wild. Enjoy, and THANK YOU to all of our patrons and listeners! We lo...

This week! Tim saw The Boogeyman (the movie, not the very real-life monster in your closet), and played a brand new game from.. McDonald's..?..and Brett thinks Slipknot might replace every member of the band! We also discuss A.I. shoes, Spider-Man, Ghost of Tsushima, sandwiches, and more! 00:16:50 — TECHNOLOGY!

 This week! Brett watched The Meg and discovered that his kids *really* like monster movies! Tim doesn’t appreciate JCVD and the masterpiece that is Hard Target the way that he should, and Avatar: The Way of Water is very…wet?  We also discuss So to Speak on Steam, Street Fighter 6, Alan Wake, and more!   00:12:15 — MOVIES! The Meg, Hard Target, Avatar: The Way of Water 00:45:25 — VIDEO GAMES! So...

 This week! Does Space Jam still rule?! Is Evil Dead Rise better than Evil Dead (2013)?! Did anything cool happen at the PlayStation showcase this past week?! Does The Nightmare Before Christmas have a cool comic book story to tell?! Who could *possibly* have opinions on all of these things??! (We do, for sure*)  We also discuss Avatar, Choujin X, Ranger Academy, and more!   00:17:35 — MOVIES! Spa...

 This week! One of us really liked Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always!
