The Keep Up Podcast

 This week! You know what makes for a great episode of The Keep Up Podcast? Batman *and* Ninja Turtles — in ONE episode. Yeah, we’ve got that. The Batman is finally here one of us loved it! Tim found a long-lost cartoon marathon on a VHS tape and we’re freaking out about Konami’s announcement of the The Cowabunga Collection; a compilation of THIRTEEN (13!!) TMNT games!!  We also discuss...

 This week! Tim thinks the writers of Rick and Morty hate us & Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is one of the greatest games ever made! Jackass Forever had Brett in tears in less than 15 minutes, and long ignored & controversial 5th ninja turtle Venus de Milo is making a comeback!  We also discuss Masters of the Universe: Revelation, Maneater, Capcom announcements, Street Fighter...

 This week! COVID HAS STRUCK AGAIN!! But alas, this only means we have far too much to talk about this week! Tim felt iffy about some of the decisions made in the final season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine! The Hollow is a really fun animated show on Netflix for fans of Scooby-Doo! The first trailer for the upcoming Chip ’n Dale movie is…weird, and There’s Someone Inside Your House is a fun slasher-w...

 This week! Brett found a couple of hidden gems on Netflix in Neil Blomkamp’s short film collection, Oats Studios, and Goedam, a series of 8 - 10 minute Korean horror stories — one of which Tim couldn’t finish because it was night time and he was alone. 😅 Oh, and SCREAM is out! The new one! Not the original one with the exact same title and shared cast! I mean, that one is out, too, that’s j...

This week! Tim’s angry about Apple TV+! Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City does everything you might want it to — and it really shouldn’t have, and one of us has finally played Bloober Team’s latest addition to their lineup of horror games, The Medium!

This week! Archive 81, a brand new show on Netflix, is RIDDLED WITH SUSPENSE! Brett thinks it’s almost Halloween and has a horror double feature with Incident in a Ghostland & The Strangers: Prey at Night, and Tim fills us in on just how ridiculous an amount of money Microsoft spent to acquire Activision Blizzard! We also discuss Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Taco Bell’s new subscription option...

This week! Encanto’s soundtrack is topping charts for a reason! Returnal is the first triple-A roguelike experience on PS5 and Tim can’t stop playing it, and Brett had the best game of Sea of Thieves he’s ever played! We also discuss Bob Saget, The Muppet Christmas Carol, God of War (2018), and more! 00:08:55 — MOVIES! Encanto, The Muppet Christmas Carol 00:42:09 — VIDEO GAMES! God of War (2018),...

 This week! HAPPY NEW YEAR FRIENDS! In this, our first episode of 2022, we have a lot to cover! Where does Hawkeye rank in the order of MCU shows? Is Spider-Man: No Way Home the perfect movie? Is Brett exaggerating and overthinking the fourth film in the The Matrix universe, or is it really that flawed? How is Resident Evil 4 once again the greatest game ever made?! THESE. ARE. QUESTIONS. &nb...

This week! It’s the week of CHRISTMAS!! 8-Bit Christmas captures all the nostalgic magic of the release of the NES (and like, family and stuff) & The Man Who Invented Christmas has Brett all inspired and excited! Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge is what the live action Mortal Kombat movie *should’ve* been, and Tim loves Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice so much that he hates it! We also discu...

This week! Tim watched a Hallmark Christmas movie that was perhaps everything one might want from a Hallmark Christmas movie! Turns out It’s A Wonderful Life is a classic for good reason, and The Game Awards gave us some *very* exciting announcements this year, including Sonic the Hedgehog 2! We also discuss Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Alan Wake, Tim throwing an air conditioner out a window, and m...

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes 01:04:40 — VIDEO GAMES! Halo (franchise) Keep up with The Keep Up...

Brett’s already watching Christmas movies, starting with Netflix’s new movie, Love Hard, and Halo Infinite is HERE! Well, some of it anyway. &n...

This week! The Keep Up had the BEST. HALLOWEEN. EVER. Brett finished a documentary that he started a month ago — You Cannot Kill David Arquette — Halloween Kills is…a movie…and Tim’s soul has been sold for the way-too-many endings of the NieR franchise! We also discuss The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, Costume Quest, and more! 00:18:33 — MOVIES! The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, You Ca...

This week! The Keep Up timeline is a disaster! Enjoy some stories from our trip to LA (which was roughly a month ago..?). The new Jake Gyllenhaal movie The Guilty is an isolating thriller and 2016’s Blair Witch scared Brett a lot. Tim recommends buying a Nintendo Switch so you can play Metroid Dread, and the new zombie killing multiplayer Back 4 Blood is absolute chaos! We also discuss getting pai...

This week! It’s the third annual OCTOBER SPECIAL!! We had a ton of exciting suggestions this time around and it resulted in a lot of great memories, new scares, and fun stories in a very movie-heavy special! Zeke the Plumber was way too scary to be on kids’ TV in the 90s, maybe 2013’s Evil Dead wasn’t *as bad* as purists say it was, and why was Hell House LLC the scariest movie on the list?? 00:23...

 This week! We talk about…needles..? Brett found a small shop that sells video game themed candles! Squid Game is the most popular thing ever in the entire world! We react to the upcoming Super Mario Bros. movie cast announcement and Uncharted has us trying to find our way into some terrible situation that turns into a noteworthy adventure!  We also discuss Marvel vs. Capcom, streaming o...

 This week! Tim has some questions and conundrums about Apple Arcade!

Apple Arcade 00:20:40 — TV! Slashe...

 This week! THE KEEP UP IS IN Los Angeles! While across the country for the world premiere of Edward Payson’s Rarity: Retro Video Game Collecting in the Modern Era, we figured we *had* to record an episode on location 🤷🏻‍♂️. And we had company! Model, photographer and actor Nik Hampshire and equally multi-talented producer, singer and songwriter Kameron join us to talk about how unbelievabl...

Creepshow is an offering of some unbelievable practical effects, and Tim celebrates his love for The Grudge by checking out Netflix’s JU-ON Origins! …But was it a celebration, though? We also discu...

This week! Extremity is some great ideas executed oddly! Tim didn’t love (but absolutely completed) Left Alive, and Conker’s Bad Fur Day *seriously* holds up! We also discuss Creepshow on Shudder, Rayman Redemption, the Dead Space remake, and more! 00:14:48 — TV! Creepshow on Shudder 00:29:45 — MOVIES! Extremity 00:46:35 — VIDEO GAMES! Rayman Redemption, Dead Space (remake announcement), Left Aliv...

 This week! So much good stuff! Brett started his “Autumn escapades” a bit early this year with A Classic Horror Story & Vampires vs. The Bronx! Tim tells us all about 12 Minutes; a super innovative new game featuring James McAvoy, Daisy Ridley, and Willem Dafoe, and Ice Nine Kills’ “The Silver Scream” is the perfect almost-October album — and the sequel is coming soon!  We also disc...
