Episode 46 - Murder on the Orient Express Review Nov 15, 2017

Show notes

This episode Jake and Danny review Sir Kenneth Branagh's Murder on the Orient Express and not Justice League like we said last episode because we are bad at telling time.

Before the review, they also talk about some film news involving the upcoming Amazon series in the Lord of the Rings universe, Star Wars news involving Rian Johnson, and more build up talk for next week's Justice League review.

In the aftershow, they talk about a potential 'insane film' discussion episode.

Thanks to everyone who downloads and listens.

The outro this episode is from the youtube channel Drman Productions.

Show notes

Danny, Mike, and the Zacks collect their feelings about last week's BlizzCon and all of the announcements that arrived.

And after surviving some technical difficulties (sorry if any buzzing got through), they also talk about more Super Mario Odyssey, Zack's foray into the PC world, Danny's post-mortem about his time with Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, and then they end the episode with a brief talk about frustration in games.

Thanks to everyone who downloads and listens.

At long last, Jake and Danny have seen Jigsaw - the 8th installment in the Saw franchise.

Before they get into that long-awaited review, they talk about some other horror films they've seen this season, such as Gerald's Game, 1922, The Babysitter, Train to Busan, and The Host. Plus, some general discussion on other Stephen King films.

After the review, listen as Jake and Danny have an aftershow argument about Christmas. Yeah.

In a full Schlub Cast Games lineup, Danny, Mike, and the Zacks discuss such topics as the Nintendo Switch's success, Super Mario Odyssey, and Destiny 2 on PC, all while trying to limit their inner cynical thoughts as much as they can.

Then they wrap up this longest episode yet with a conversation about all the early access platforms for games that have become so prevalent within the industry.

Episode 41 - October Horror Film Marathon 2017 "Clown" Oct 28, 2017

Show notes

With Jigsaw looming on the horizon, Danny and Jake attempt to cleanse their palate by watching any other horror film for this year's October marathon.

For this episode, the guys got a listener suggestion for Jon Watts' Clown, which they happily accepted to talk schlubbily about (although they definitely got side-tracked in this mini-episode with some other topics).
Hopefully the Saw films haven't melted our brains to the point that we can no longer talk coherently about films. You be the judge.

Thanks to everyone who downloads and listens.
