Da Binge Bois talk about the hottest show to storm the planet RIGHT NOW, is The Last Of Us! Based on the video game franchise of the same name starring Pedro Pascal of "The Mandalorian" fame as Joel, and Bella Ramsey as Ellie, we begin our adventure with the duo and start to learn their journey. Enrique is a big fan of the series as he played the first game on release and has beaten The Last Of Us Part II, with the first part being in his top 5-10 video games of all time. Eli enjoyed the story of the game but the gameplay left him struggling to continue so he is excite to pick up the TV show, and Tristan is a virgin to the franchise! Since the trailer, we all have been excited to review episode 1 and are now patiently waiting for episode 2 to drop after the small little preview at the end of the episode! During the talk of the show, we talk about one of the best subtle horror scenes in television history, the introduction and death of Joel's daughter Sarah, the amazing world and how desensitized everyone is to it after 20 years have past! Listen to our reaction!
After that, we talk about Chloe Grace Moretz's, of Kickass fame, newest project sci fi series The Peripheral! Our talks about the show included discussion our stupidity and how maybe we just don't have the brain capacity to dissect the entirety of the series. During how discussion we gave our loves to Conner the war veteran who lost all but one of his limbs in an explosion trying to save a dog in the war in Texas in 2032, how we felt a disconnect amongst many characters ESPICEALLY Tommy who was a mark azz trick, and how the show could of set itself up to have a really strong season 2 but didn't do what we would have liked to seen. Next week, we return to a sci-fi world when we watch Bladerunner 2049!
