Abby and I go back to the beginning - of both the Highlander franchise and our podcast (Highlander 2 was the first move we ever covered). This is unapologetically one of my favourite 80s movies, despite being a fever dream of a movie. Why has it held up ? Why has it never been replicated, despite 7 attempts and counting ?

Beyond good, beyond evil, before any of the stuff the past few weeks happened, I picked this formative film that traumatized me as a child. Hear what Abby thinks about this film as someone with no ties to Generation 1 Transformers, and how we both feel about seeing this in theaters now 40 years later...

Are we not doing phrasing anymore ?!?! Do you want ants ? Because this is how you get ants ! This week we took a look at TV's greatest and most dysfunctional super-spy, Archer.

I take a look at the first year of the Gundam Trading Card Game, and speculate on where the TCG is headed. We got some reprints, tons of new cards, and some cool accessories.

This week the Dudette and I watched The Big Lebowski. A movie I only know from memes surprisingly - not to mention the unfortunate tv edits like "This is what happens when you fight a stranger in the Alps, Larry!" Has The Dude's legend held up over all these years ? Next: Top 3, Bottom 3 - Archer Then: Fine, You Pick ! - To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar Youtube: http://www.youtube....

I was one of the first backers of Star Citizen - a game which has been in a crowdfunding Alpha state for over a decade at this point. As someone who backed it and visits the game essentially on a yearly basis, Abby and I talk about what Star Citizen is, and what Star Citizen isn't. *Note: Sorry about my audio for the first 4 minutes - for whatever reason my Mic was blasting. Tried to even it out,...

We watched Starship Troopers, a movie I remember mostly for everyone missing its meaning at the time of release. Would you like to know more ? Has this gotten better over the years (it has) or has it been exterminated like the bug threat ?

This week I wanted to talk about the new Battlestar Galactica game: Scattered Hope. I've sunk 20 hours into this so far since it's release and really enjoyed it.

This week we, a white couple with a passing knowledge of Anime, discuss the Miyazaki masterpiece, Spirited Away. Seriously, go watch this before listening if you haven't.
