Welcome to the first-ever Games of the Decade discussion podcast from Fanbyte! We're here to talk about our very favorite games from between the years 2010 to 2019. And by "talk about," we of course mean "argue incessantly." It's a fun ride between friends, and it's just started now, so strap in and get ready for a full week of staff chat. And here's to a much, much better next 10 years!

Welcome back to our latest and... definitely not greatest episode of You Love to See It: the Fanbyte rewatch podcast. This week, merritt, John, and Danielle decided to watch the 45-minute mockbuster called "Ratatoing." It's a complete ripoff of the Pixar film Ratatouille, except with none of the charm or talent! It also looks like a high school junior's Bryce 3D animation. Why did your three co-hosts watch this atrocity? Even they can't give you a great answer. But now at least you don't have to!

Danielle is out sick this week, leaving Niki, merritt, and Steven to their own devices. Things naturally go off the rails almost immediately as merritt explains the timeline of The Young Pope and the upcoming New Pope. Thankfully, Niki finally beat Control, meaning he can talk about some of its great late-game moments! Then Steven brings out mechs, knives, monsters, and bones. Can a Folgers coffee commercial get the crew back on track? No. No, it cannot, and they talk about fan fic instead.

Danielle interviews Daniel Alpert, Art Director on Obsidian's Fallout-style RPG The Outer Worlds. They talk world design, branding for fake corporations, and the need for every great game to have fancy hats.

Welcome back to the wonderful world of Fanwidth, the Fanbyte video game podcast. merritt takes over hosting duties these week, and the conversation predictably turns towards Pokemon as a result. That's not all, though! Niki and Danielle have finally given Control a chance and decided they might love it. Steven and merritt then turn things toward movie talk. Steven saw Promare, the anime action film from Studio Trigger, while merritt watched Dolemite is My Name. It's a jam-packed and fun episode this week!

Just before the one-year anniversary of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, three members of the Fanbyte crew team up to discuss the movie that critics say "rules" and "is tremendous." Put another way, it's the first time Danielle has ever genuinely enjoyed anything Spider-Man related. Niki and Steven have seen the movie a good dozen times before, but they experience it all over again with their fresh-faced co-host in this animated episode of You Love to See It, the Fanbyte movie and TV podcast!

Welcome to You Love to See It, a movie and TV rewatch podcast from your friends at Fanbyte! In our very first episode, Danielle, John, merritt, and Steven tackle the 1993 live-action Super Mario Bros. film. It was a critical and commercial flop in its day. How does it hold up now? Does it deserve to be flushed down the pipes like most people say? Or should we trust the fungus and give this bizarrely cyberpunk take on the world's most famous plumbers a second life? Find out on You Love to See It!

As one holiday ends, another quickly approaches. But we don't miss a beat in between! This week Danielle, Steven, merritt, and Niki kick things off by discussing their Thanksgiving vacations (merritt held a sword). We've also got your weekly check-in with Disco Elysium, Outer Wilds, and Pokemon. Although Steven checked out some new games, too: Phoenix Point, from the creator of the original XCOM, for starters. And there sure were a lot of Japanese murder mystery games this year, huh? Let's check 'em out!

Even pleasure planet full of mandroid sex bots couldn't keep Fanwidth away this week! We're coming out you live (to tape) with the latest video game podcast goodness. Merritt finally played Disco Elysium! Danielle is deep in the interactive fiction mines! Niki doesn't love the story of Pokemon Sword & Shield! And Steven tried Age of Wonders: Planetfall. Don't fret, though! We talk about a lot of dumb stuff besides games, too. You should know what to expect by now. Get ready for Papa John's Discourse.

You never know where the conversation will take you on Fanwidth! Well, actually, you can probably guess we'll talk about bad 90s movies and Pokemon. Danielle, merritt, Niki, and Steven go over all that and more in a very video game focused episode of Fanwidth. Besides Pokemon Sword & Shield, they also talk about Death Stranding, Mutazione, and Jedi: Fallen Order. Oh! And Steven finally watched the 2017 reboot of DuckTales. They and Niki spend some time gushing while Danielle and merritt suffer through it!
