Hey Guys!

We don't have a new episode this week unfortunately but in light of that and being excited for the new season of The Mandalorian, we decided to have a look back at when we first met Mando all the way back in the fall of 2019 and it is a delight to revisit what we thought of this all when it was new! Also- quite of a bit of Death Stranding talk because that was another new and weird thing (and turned out to be a very accurate depiction of what the world would look like just a few months after these episodes originally went up).

So enjoy!

Mando Mando Mando, you sure are back aren't ya? Oh ya wanna go back home and take a bath? You wanna fight a big ole crab man and take a bath? Looks like that little green dude is back too it seems.

Yeah Jake and Ryan have watched the opening episode of The Mandalorian season 3 and it turns out... pretty good so far! The boys are back on Discord and are ready to talk about Mando and the week in news. What a week it was! Well... maybe not that many news items....

Metroid Fusion is coming to Nintendo Switch Online, Nicolas Cage says he doesn't need to be in the MCU (even though he WAS Ghostrider technically), TMNT has a gorgeous new trailer, animation style and a star-studded cast and much much more this week!

Is the new Ant-Man really that bad? The boys discuss. But as always with Almost Accurate you know that's not the only thing that we're talking about. There's news and tons of it!

Metroid Prime Remastered physical copies are sold out and people are scalping them for ridiculous prices on eBay, Walter White's eighty-whities are selling for big money, Umbrella Academy season 4 just picked up some decent new faces and much much more!

Also the movie Smile can suck it. Bad movie.

After a four month break the boys are BACK!

There's been plenty of changes in their personal lives but Jake and Ryan are back and are catching up on everything that's happened!

Not like anything big or important has happened in the world of movies, tv & video games... right? Right?

The boys talk about the freshly released Metroid Prime Remastered, God of War Ragnarok, Ghostwire Tokyo, Wakanda Forever, Amsterdam and much much more!

Turns out taking four months away from a podcast really does give you plenty to talk about!

Ryan is on baby watch so the boys are back on Zoom! 

Jake breaks down Andor (which is surprisngly good) and Ryan talks about the Devil in Ohio (which…. well just listen to what he has to say aobut it. It’s not pretty. It’s not good either). 

CD Projekt Red has announced SEVERAL new Witcher and Cyberpunk games that they’re working on (that should keep them busy for the next 60-70 years it would seem), Bruce Willis reportledly sold his rights to a company that specializes in deepfakes, only for us to learn that that apparnelty did NOT happen, and more in this week’s episode of Almost Accurate!

Jake had quite the dytpotian weekend. Home alone and it was time to watch some movies set in a rather depressing futuristic setting. How does Blade Runner stack up as a movie watching experience in 2022? Answer- not super well it turns out! Surely the seuqel Blade Runner 2049 improves upon that well established formula right? Well… it sort of does, but it also sort’ve does certain things much much worse as it turns out. 

But it’s not all glowing neon gloom and doom! CyberPunk Edgerunners is out on Netflix and it turns out to actually be a really, really solid and well made anime. MUCH of an improvmenet over that mess of a game that CD Projket Red put out a few years ago (yes I know they’ve patched it a bunch, it’s just not very fun to play). As it turns out, well -written characters that you care about and performances from people that don’t sound like they’ve just been woken up from a mid-morning nap (looking at you Keanu Reeves) makes for an interesting formula! WHO WOULD’VE THOUGHT THAT????!!

Also the boys talk about Tom Hanks saying he’s only been in 4 good movies (and what they think they are…. let’s face it, it’s gotta be Turner and Hooch), James Earl Jones is officially retiring from acting…. kind of….. and more!

Listen up y'all- some real life shit is going on in the boys life.

Ryan is about to have a kid at literally any moment and Jake is getting married in the extremely near future so, our upload schedule is going to be a bit hit and miss for the time being.

Does that mean that we're skipping on the quality of our podcast? Well if you have a listen to this episode I think that the answer to that will be extremely obvious that it's exactly in line where it's been pretty much this entire time. Does that mean that some of the news items that we're talking about will probably be 1-2 old by the time that we're getting around to talking about them? You bet your ass they are.

Disney, Nintendo, and Sony all had some pretty big press conferences about their future plans. Yes- literally all of this is old news at this point. If you're really tuned into this kind of stuff, you've probably already seen what they have on offer. But we try and recap most of it!

Ryan also had a special request that we just couldn't refuse this week. Willy's Wonderland was his #1 movie of 2021 and we've finally got around to dedicating an entire episode to it- turns out it is VERY much worth it. If you haven't watched it before- give it a shot! It's dumb as hell, but man oh man is it a good time.

Sadly no new episode this week folks.... looks like we're going to have to repackage the some old stuff and change a few things slightly and pass it off as an entirely new thing. But no one would ever try and do that. No gigantic company that has a mouse for a mascot would even dare to spend billions of dollars on a beloved franchise, try and change a few characters names and genders and attempt to recapture the magic of days gone past and produce something that people really enjoyed until they started to give it some critical thought and realize that they've seen something like that before.

NAY! Nor would same gigantic corporate then take same beloved franchise that they gave what some people would call "a soft reboot" of old material and made a new thing, and then to follow it up actually make something that is new and interesting! That second attempt surely wouldn't turn out to be perhaps the best entry in beloved franchise that has been around for a while, but makes some angry people on the internet upset would they?

Nor would said gigantic corporation then actually make the foolish mistake of listening to angry people on the internet and then follow up a great idea with a bunch of terrible bad ideas, fire multiple film directors, bring back the first director and then scour Reddit for some weird fan theories, throw all of that in a blender and make a third installment in a trilogy. NO ONE WOULD BE CRAZY ENOUGH TO DO THAT RIGHT?

Anyways, sorry there's no new episode this week and we couldn't think of a good analogy so we just cut together our reviews of the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy. Hope you guys enjoy!

What’s up people! 

This week Almost Accurate is back to compare and contract two EXTREMELY different series. Couldn’t guess? Well no worries, it’s She Hulk and Only Murders in the Building! 

One is a well-established series that is concuding its second series on Hulu, and another is just barely getting underway on Disney +. Turns out, they couldn’t be more different and Jake and Ryan have PLENTY to say about how they turn out. 

It sure looks like a giant corporate like Disney sure can have different ways of approaching a series, don’t they?
