Lunchtime! This week Jim talks about playing Hitman 3 but, more importantly, about his upcoming doctor-recommended procedures that will hopefully have him “airtight”, then A.Ron gives a rundown of all the various boardgames played at BYPAX this year. Then we get to the listener questions and cap it all off with some serious talk about heavy issues. Enjoy!
Thank you to everyone who sent feedback into the show for the first chunk of this season. This is the final feedback episode before The Walking Dead comes back in February. Enjoy the podcast and we’ll see you next year!
The final chapter of Daniel Craig’s story as James Bond has finally been written and we’re honestly pretty relieved. We’ve mostly enjoyed the journey, and find this movie to be one of the more enjoyable parts of it, but the darker tone of the Craig Bond movies has taken its toll and we’re ready for a fresh new look at James Bond. Join us for our discussion of No Time To Die.

This is the only role that Denzel Washington has won an academy award in a leading role for, which seems crazy, I know! But it’s pretty well-deserved as he and Ethan Hawke carry this movie. Without either of these performances, the movie wouldn’t work. Join us for the podcast to hear our thoughts on this early 2000s dirty cop drama.
The finale of the first third of the final season of The Walking Dead brought not only a satisfying conclusion to one of the characters, but a new and truly amazing new word into the Walking Dead lexicon for fans around the world. Join us for the discussion of this final episode before the mid-season…
The Many Saints of Newark exists as several movies in one, trying to be something more than just a Sopranos prequel, and ultimately doesn’t excel at anything except casting. If you’re a die-hard fan of The Sopranos, you’ll definitely want to check it out, as it sheds new light on the events and relationships of the series. If you’re a fan of gangster movies, you might want to check it out after you’ve watched all of the many other, much better gangster movies. If you’re neither, why are you even here?
Time for the fans to weigh in on Promises Broken and, as usual, they have plenty of good points that we probably overlooked. Join us for the podcast to hear our thoughts on the Commonwealth and more.
We really enjoyed the ambitious approach to storytelling that Foundation is employing in its third episode, “The Mathematician’s Ghost”. The themes resonant throughout both times and places and every plot point and character seems to be a lens that can be looked through both ends of to reveal two different images. Join us for a…
