Legend 1985 Part Two: Unicorns, Darkness, and Goth Transformations 48:35

48:35

What if the battle between light and darkness hinged on the whims of a goth-dress and a failed unicorn rescue? Join us on a whimsical exploration of the fantasy film "Legend" as we unravel its peculiar plot, starting with the outrageous antics of the villain, Darkness, and his anime-esque sidekick, Blix. Marvel at the childlike innocence of Princess Lily and Jack the Green, who, despite their ages, seem perpetually trapped in a fairy tale of their own making. We share a laugh at the film's reliance on plot-convenient timing while reminiscing about that iconic unicorn encounter, a scene that's as magical as it is perplexing. Discover the bizarre dynamics in a mystical forest where riddles, eerie characters, and unexpected romantic confessions abound. You'll meet Gump, whose unsettling presence is as mysterious as his riddles, and Una, who surprises everyone by transforming her size and professing her love for Jack. As we piece together these fantasy elements, our discussion takes a humorous twist, revealing the absurdity of Blunder's pie-bound fate and Lily's goth transformation. With key scenes bathed in nostalgia and humor, we can’t help but admire the visual impact, even if some CGI moments leave us chuckling at their dated execution. As the curtain falls on "Legend," we savor the movie's chaotic conclusion where light triumphs over darkness, thanks to Jack's bravery and Lily's defiant spirit. Our musings take us through a nostalgic journey of the film's synth-laden soundtrack and the editing controversies that sparked debate in the 80s and 90s. We reflect on the unique challenges and romantic complexities faced by Lily and Jack amidst a competitive cinematic landscape. Wrapping up the episode, we promise more laughter, insight, and whimsical adventures in our future reviews, leaving you eagerly anticipating our next escapade on "Oft Off Topic".

Star Wars Hotel Pt 2: A Galactic Disappointment 49:43

49:43

Imagine shelling out $1,500 for a two-night stay, only to be greeted by a room more cramped than a Motel 6 and a string of unresolved frustrations. Nate's experience at the Star Wars Hotel was far from the galactic adventure promised. From tiny bunks and an uncomfortable Murphy bed to a glaring LED space window and a disappointing low-end AI butler, the accommodations left much to be desired. Safety concerns also arose with a makeshift fireproof closet instead of a proper fire escape, casting a shadow on the lavish expenditure. Navigating the Disney Plus app became a mission of its own, with technical glitches and confusing instructions overshadowing the immersive potential. Despite the promise of thrilling quests and interactions with beloved Star Wars characters, Nate's journey was repeatedly stymied by broken dialogue trees and unsolvable puzzles. The allure of joining factions and completing missions was dampened by these persistent technical issues, leaving Nate and his family more frustrated than entertained. The broader Star Wars-themed section of the park didn't fare much better. High costs coupled with underwhelming activities and malfunctioning equipment turned excitement into disappointment. From overpriced lightsaber and droid-building experiences to missed events and flawed scheduling, Nate's high-priced vacation was marred by setbacks at every turn. Tune in to hear the full story of how a dream trip to a galaxy far, far away became an expensive lesson in unmet expectations.

Subjects include the TikTok ban, Russia hunting Koni, and robots being abused in the woods. Nate has moderate brain damage, so his main contribution is a news story from July 2022.

Embark on a journey through the peculiar universe of "9, the Last Resort," where our series finale titters at the oddball humor while scrutinizing the game’s polarizing critiques. The iconic voice actors, including Jim Cummings and Tress MacNeille, breathe life into the game's bizarre cast, and we can't help but revel in the mischievous nuances that once aimed to set PC games apart. Meanwhile, we reminisce about Seattle's short-lived affair with film tax incentives, which gave us thrilling—but not always believable—chase scenes and a transient uptick in local productions. Strap in as we assess the vocal virtuosity gracing our favorite games, from Steven Tyler's rock-star flair to Jim Belushi's off-the-cuff antics. The episode takes a turn towards the more serious as we tackle the delicate balance of celebrity involvement versus the burning passion of professional voice actors. We advocate for the unsung heroes behind iconic roles, arguing for the nuanced performances that dedicated voice talents bring to the table, all while navigating the choppy waters of celebrity egos and the industry's inclination towards big names. Ever wonder what it's like to have wealth so vast that investing in a passion project feels as routine as picking out lunch? We wrap things up by pulling back the curtain on the lavish playground of the ultra-rich in the entertainment sphere. From Robert De Niro's casual production dabbles to the whimsical decision-making behind big-budget ventures, we chuckle at the thought of such financial freedom. Join us for this behind-the-scenes peek, filled with rich insights and hearty laughter, as we draw the curtain on another entertaining episode.

Step into the whimsical time machine of our latest episode where the pixelated past of '90s gaming gets a fresh coat of audio paint. From the star-studded, Poe-inspired adventure "Nine: The Last Resort," with its unique Tribeca Productions twist, to the maze of unlocking Indiana Jones' in-game secrets, the nostalgia is as thick as an arcade carpet. We promise a treasure trove of throwbacks, including how gaming nostalgia isn't just confined to the screen – it's a journey through the music moods of nu metal and the tiny tales of nations like Nauru. The plot thickens as we dissect "Nine: The Last Resort," where you're tasked with reviving a creative haven turned chaotic. Cher's voice guides you through this artistic labyrinth, with a cameo that might just involve a song or two. And let's not forget the mischief of Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Joe Perry! We reminisce about the influences these Hollywood voices had on the game, and how their participation spotlighted the curious intersection of video games and celebrity culture during the '90s. Finally, we shell out some serious turtle power in an exploration of the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" saga. Voices from the past echo as we clarify the real voice behind Shredder and the legendary Jim Cummings's lesser-known roles. Buckle up for a ride that's as wild as the streets of Seattle, as we prepare you for the next episode where we'll peel back the layers on more gaming, movie, and city trivia. So kick back, press play, and let's get that nostalgia flowing.
