Decode Podcast

For those of y'all mostly here for DUNE we PROMISE we're getting back to it in our next recording session and will do some more Dune book content before revisiting Foundation the show. 

That may be the next episode or 2 episodes from now as we recorded 2 together on 1/23.  

The boys talk about sleeping habits, drinking, Marx and episode 6 of Foundation on Appletv

Happy new year! It's 2022 and we're back with an episode watchthrough of Foundation on AppleTV episode 5. 

In this ep, Bing Bong and Island Boys has become part of the middle aged white male vocabulary.  

The boys watch ep 4 of Foundation on AppleTV and discuss it 

BING BONG

The boys watch ep 3 of Foundation and talk through it.  What more needs to be said? You're already here and you know they're funny and insightful- just listen!

Hot-ish off the heels of the Dune movie watch-through commentary, the boys decided to do the same with episode 2 of Apple TV's adaptation of Foundation. 

Our hot take is that as a book reader ep 2 was a real stinker. However upon separating oneself from the book the episode, and show stand on their own pretty decently.

What do you think of our watch throughs? Feedback welcome.

The boys finish this special Dune movie watch through. 

We've started doing the same with Foundation on Apple Tv. What do you think? 

Should we?  

The boys continue their watch-through from around 53 min in! 

Fire up your HBO Max and grab your popcorn because the boys are watching Dune (with the audio filtered out) and making comments along the way.  You are invited to watch and listen along with us.  

This was an idea proposed by co-host Jeff and definitely something new. We think this is a cool episode and would love to hear your feedback on doing more of this.  We WILL be formally reviewing other Dune media but should we do the watch-through?  

This episode covers the first 55 minutes of the movie. Our next episode should finish the movie off or get us at least another hour in.  

Well they made a Dune movie and we saw it. Here’s our first take recorded on Sunday 10/24 after Mike saw it on Saturday night and Jeff apparently saw it “100 times” between its Thursday release on HBO Max and our recording. 

The first 18 minutes we discuss where we’re coming from in terms of seeing movies/shows based on books we’ve read (or the opposite- Mike says movie/show first is a great way to avoid disappointment), the importance of recording and posting a reaction ASAP, what we think we're doing with this podcast...and then we get into the film;  what we thought worked, what didn’t. What surprised us about the adaptation, etc.  

This convo was definitely less organized than we intended so we WILL be back for more movie talk.  Mike wants to see it again.  

Our next episode will be the a watch-through/talk-through of the movie (like a commentary track on a DVD) from the beginning to about 55 minutes in.  From there we’ll finish the movie in a similar fashion and return to the book! 

We’re NOT done talking about the movie yet!
