The Keep Up Podcast

This week! Is Disney’s for-purchase-on-an-already-paid-streaming-platform model for the upcoming release of Mulan a sign of things to come? Terrifier is terrifying (Tim mostly got excited about the blood) and Brett can’t stop listening to Spiritbox or talking about how women are running hardcore and metal right now. We also discuss Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Remedy Entertainment's Control, Alan Wak...

This week! Brett wonders why he can spend hours watching kids shows from 25+ years ago when he still hasn’t seen Breaking Bad. Tim thoroughly enjoyed playing as a mystery-solving taxi driver in Night Call, and Brett jumped the gun by reading the 3 issue Jennika mini! We also discuss the MMPR/TMNT crossover, Bayonetta, Taco Bell’s Grilled Cheese Burrito, fries at KFC, and more! 00:09:08 — STUPID QU...

 This week! Tim is really upset that Netflix’s brand new take on the classic true crime show Unsolved Mysteries consists strictly of mysteries that have not been solved. He also had to play Shadow the Hedgehog 10 times in order to complete it, and Brett discovered Scout Comics’ Loggerhead — a brand new book about a giant mutant turtle! (No, it’s different than the other ones.)  We also d...

This week! The nostalgia of “physical challenge” gameshows is quite alive in Netflix’s The Floor is Lava! Tim explains the concept of ludonarrative dissonance; an affliction that some players are experiencing while playing of The Last of Us Part II, and Marvel Comics has acquired the licenses of Alien, Predator, and AvP! WHAT WILL IT MEAN?! We also discuss Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the...

This week! Is Event Horizon as gory and unsettling as we’ve always heard? Brett recaps some of the dumbest decisions ever made by any characters ever courtesy of Friday the 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter, and Until Dawn is pretty incredible in a lot of ways. We also discuss collecting habits, reproduction video games, a very expensive Sega Mega Drive game, and more! 00:08:31 — MOVIES! Event Horiz...

This week! Tim was sort of disappointed by Netflix’s Sol Levante, Brett can’t believe how good Psycho is, and some PlayStation 5 announcements spark a discussion about the future of digital vs. physical video games! We also discuss Kitbull, Murdered: Soul Suspect, and more! 00:08:19 — STUPID QUESTIONS! Something about firsts and lasts. 00:23:50 — MOVIES! Sol Levante, Kitbull, Psycho 00:47:20 — VID...

 This week! Brett's appreciation for the art and performance of magic has been greatly expanded due to Netflix's original magic show Magic for Humans, hosted by Justin Willman. Tim isn't quite sure how he feels about the lack of focus on Saitama in One Punch Man's second season, and a first full viewing of The Silence of the Lambs reveals a serious misconception about how many scenes Hannibal...

 This week! Chuck E. Cheese is fooling the masses with their fancy restaurant take-out charade! Tim is so angry at VR gladiator simulator GORN, and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is a nostalgic (and sometimes disgusting) lesson in storytelling!  We also discuss Alfred Hitchcock's To Catch a Thief, must-see movies, DC Animated films, and more! 00:04:31 — REFLECTIONS! James Cameron’s gu...

 This week! Tim saw Underwater! The movie is eerie and isolating and Tim feels like he's maybe seen this somewhere before. Tim also is in love with his Sega Saturn, and why wasn't Nights into Dreams the next Sonic the Hedgehog?  We also discuss Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Jerry Seinfeld, James Cameron, and more! 00:06:32 — TV! Brooklyn Nine-Nine 00:18:00 — MOVIES! Underwater, James Cameron’s gui...

 This week! The cinematic DCU: What is happening?!

Something about dunking a basketball. 00:11...

This week! If Tim were in charge, he'd make some changes to his new AirPods, but like... would he, though? He also bought a ton of random VHS tapes which is fun and he loves Bayonetta 2 nearly as much as Brett loves Snap Judgement's real-life scary stories podcast, Spooked!  We also discuss Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening Special Edition, Goosebumps, Creeped Out, the upcoming Tony Hawk's P...

 This week! Tim’s been buying VHS tapes at random to relive his childhood and it's sort of fascinating! He's also really upset that John Carter has no sequels! Sinister 2 is a pretty alright sequel and Brett couldn't go right to sleep after watching it, and Streets of Rage 3 was a bummer, but 4 is new and improved!  We also discuss Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Resident Evil;: Revelati...

This week! Is The Keep Up CURSED?! Or is it maybe just Brett..? How did we talk so much about the amazing writing of Sherlock and Dracula and literally not even mention their original authors? Middleditch & Schwartz is an amazing amalgam of comedic entertainment, Disney Pixar’s Onward explores a familial relationship we don’t often see explored (and it demands tears), and Call of Cthulhu gamep...

 This week! Well…we recorded! That’s for sure! We haven’t had to record separately for years, but it was just like riding a bike! Like, if every time you rode a bike you had extreme technical difficulties and had to relearn all the hurdles! But ANYWAY. Castlevania Season 3 is wonderful, Dracula is one of Brett’s favorite shows of all time, and even though he just finished Final Fantasy VII li...

 This week! Apparently Tim has sleep paralysis? And Brett is a scary sleepwalker? Tim has some mixed feelings about the existence of Toy Story 4 and is angry because instead of COD: Warzone, Brett has been aggressively swayed towards sort of loving (and spending too much time playing) Fortnite. We also discuss The Mandalorian, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Final Fantasy VII (the original), and more! 00...

This week! Brett’s excited about a comedian and her new Netflix special “Quarter-Life Crisis”! But who is she and is she great?! (Spoiler alert; it’s Taylor Tomlinson and yes) Tim saw The Lighthouse and is confused and unimpressed, but also played Ori and the Will of the Wisps and in regards to it , is neither of those things! We also discuss Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, the Mortal Kombat Leg...

 This week! IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER SPECIAL!! And because we recorded it a little LATE, you're getting it a little..EARLY..? The theme this month is cartoons and we received some killer suggestions that were awesome to look back on and compare. When's the last time you watched X-Men?! Why aren't you watching Batman: The Animated Series RIGHT NOW?! We love cartoons. We hope you do, too.  00...

This week! The Invisible Man does a better job of establishing a new wave of monster movies than The Mummy did in 2017! Brett is almost done talking about Star Wars forever but Solo and Rogue One needed to be talked about, and Beat Saber sent Tim into a fit of rage!  We also discuss the Candyman trailer, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, some of the greatest lyrics we’ve ever had the pleasure o...

This week! We changed form a bit and recorded this episode live! It's also coming out the same week of recording, which typically (spoiler alert)is not the case. We wanted to talk a little bit about our perspectives and experiences with COVID-19 and quarantining, and got to hear from some listeners during recording! It was dope! We also talk about...video games! 00:23:39 — VIDEO GAMES! Twitch stre...

This week! We saw Sonic the Hedgehog and Blumhouse’s Fantasy Island!! One of them was awesome and the other one...was in a cool movie theater..!

We also discuss YouTube Movies, IMDb TV, and more!** 00:07:05 — TECHNOLOGY! YouTube Movies, IMDb TV 00:20:09 — MOVIES! Fantasy I...

This week! Brett’s mad about the Return of the Jedi edits and wants to make a case for the Star Wars prequels!

We also discuss Resident Evil (novel series), Taco Bell’s new burrito, and more! 00:13:05 — STUPID QUESTIONS! Something about a...

This week! IT'S THE FEBRUARY SPECIAL!! The RELATIONSHIP EPISODE! This episode was recorded on the heels of PAX East day one, while in a hotel room, right after overindulging in the best buffet we've ever visited -- so you're in for a ride. Our theme this month was relationships, both romantic and platonic, and - because our listeners are wonderful - we were flooded with incredible suggestions. Thi...

This week! A SPECIAL EPISODE. We were invited by our friends at the Torn Between Two Brothers podcast to come and sabotage their show!! AND they sent us the audio and told me I could post it on our feed as proof of the sabotage. What a couple of suckers. Enjoy! See link below for the video episode that was streamed live, and show some love over on their channel! TKU vs. TBTB Episode! https://www.y...

This week! We watched the award-winning Bong Joon-ho directed Parasite and ohhh, man! Tim watched the not award-winning Doom: Annihilation and ehhh, whatever! Tim also didn't heed Brett's warning and spent hours playing Double Dragon Neon! Listen to find out why he's so mad about it! We also discuss the Underworld series, I, Frankenstein, Blade, Star Wars: Republic Commando, and more! 00:07:24 — T...

This week! Tim loves dolls so much* (he does not) that he cannot contain his excitement for the recently announced Child's Play TV series! Weird! He also watched The Irishman over the span of 48 hours which stars some young old guys and Brett listened to the latest He Is Legend album, "White Bat", and didn't not like it! We also discuss Underworld: Evolution, Goosebumps: The Curse of Cold Lake (R....
