Dissecting This Fiction Podcast

Welcome to Dissecting This Fiction! It's episode 9 in December...no, not that one, but we technically did it first! So come join along as my Co-host (Jessica) and I (Steven) go over the latest in movies, tv shows, and games.

What's On The Exam Table?

In gaming, Facebook tries to beat the competition. The internet builds a case against Capcom REmake3 conspiracy. There’s a new real time strategy game coming  out, but you will have to wait until 2020 and that’s going to bug some people. Nintendo is making a new identity for Mario. A Wii dev kit tells the story of a forgotten hero or was it a menace? Jessica decides to create life in Cells to Singularity and Steven talks about his experience with Days Gone. Don’t worry, he didn’t lose track of time.

In Television, we got caught by surprise with a hilarious show. It was just a promo though, so Curb Your Enthusiasm. A fantasy show gets early screening positivity. We’ll give you a hint, it isn’t Game of Thrones. Rian Johnson trolls The Last Jedi haters, but we are all okay with that. Disney wants to find a new generation of Jedi on their streaming service. We watched the first four episodes of Flash and I have to say we did it quite fast. We accidentally watched what we thought was a short film, turned cable commercial, turned car commercial, turned back into a short film by yours truly. In the end, it turns out it was just a dose of nostalgia for the holidays.

In movies, we get our first look at the long awaited Black Widow movie. It’s being called a teaser, but it’s certainly a trailer. Fans of Alita Battle Angel are being escorted to Disney for suggestions. The CGI in Cats has been altered since the initial trailer. That will surely satisfy the internet mob, right!? We pull the Knives Out for our spoiler free review of Rian Johnson’s latest film. Finally, we jump back in time to WW2 and look at an intimate story of youth in Nazi Germany with the satire indipendent film by Taika Waititi, JoJo Rabbit.

What's On The Exam Table?

In gaming, we help highlight some of our recommendations for Black Friday shopping this week. Don’t worry, we have items in all categories for all price ranges! Capcom might not be done with remakes. Half-life is getting another full life. Is it the long desired Half-life 3!? Sony is still in the patent submission business and the game awards are just weeks away. Who will you vote for “Game of the Year”?

In Television, the Vikings tv show lives on for another 100 years. Harrison Ford is returning to television...well, at least to a staircase? FX decided that A Christmas Carol wasn’t dark enough of a story. DC puts their Stargirl on 2 platforms. Steph Curry hangs up the jersey for comedy. We finish the section off with our impressions of His Dark Materials on HBO.

In movies, more actors are still being added to The Batman. We are naming this “Bat Watch 2019”, not to be mistaken for Bay Watch. Joker 2 has had some rumblings, but is it just a sick joke? Daniel Craig has No Time To Die. Star Trek plans to take the franchise where no other has gone before. Robocop gets a software update for the directors chair. Finally, we watched Doom: Annihilation. Never heard of it? That’s not surprising. Let’s just say the title of this movie is quite ironic.

What's On The Exam Table?

In gaming, we give a small tease of our experience with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Microsoft opens up a kissing booth in London called XO19... oh, that doesn’t mean hugs and kisses? Well, we’re still intrigued! Modern Warfare might have planned a super secret mission. EA hints at more space gaming and we don’t mean Star Wars.

In movies, Disney pulls an M Night twist on us, then throws more Marvel movie release dates at us and that wasn’t even the twist! DC paints December Black for 2021 and also plans to hire every actor alive for the Batman movie. Mark Wahlburg found all of the Transformers (or so he thinks) and now he’s looking to chart some new lands. Netflix gets into bed with another content creator to get back at Disney. I scream, you scream, we all scream for...a reboot/sequel? I bet you are wondering if there will ever be another Beverly Hills Cop movie? Ask no more! Netflix has an answer. Finally, we give our review on Charlie’s Angels. Yes, there is another movie. Yes, it was marketed...I don’t know for how long. Uh...I think it had a few trailers, but I can’t recall. I swear it’s real and we watched it!

In Television, The Witcher is so damn good that Netflix already wants us to have another season. Sin City isn’t done showing you individual colors, this time in show form. Marvel tries to keep a new casting for a Disney plus show low-key. Speaking of Disney Plus! It’s finally out and we talk a lot about the app and Original shows, most importantly The Mandalorian. Basically, our overall thoughts of the service.

Welcome to Dissecting This Fiction! It's episode 6, so come join along as my Co-host (Jessica) and I (Steven) go over the latest in movies, tv shows, and games.

What's On The Exam Table?

In gaming, a new fighter is approaching!  And they are taking on the children! Sony plays a game of musical chairs. Fortnite is so epic that players are being eliminated for life. A small developer tries to deliver the dream game of solving murders with cats on an island. Sign me up! Until then, we take on some other Cat Quests...again. Meow that sounds like fun!

In Television, the Halo TV series regains its energy. Disney assigns Marvel fans some homework. The quack attack might be skating back to Disney Plus. Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Boys check in for 2020. We had some good laughs, but we leave South Park for the season and head over to the Silicon Valley. It’s shenanigans tech season again!

In movies, The Eternals production finds a blast from the past. Most of the Avengers Endgame cast get nominations. Is Oprah behind it!? Probably not, but look under your seat anyways. Made you look! The cast of Aquaman is making headlines and it isn’t anything to do with the sequel. Unexpectedly, James Dean comes out of retirement. No, that isn’t a typo…

Finally, we cut into Doctor Sleep. The film, not the guy. What kind of monsters do you take us for? Did we enjoy this long awaited sequel or did it help put us to sleep?

In Television, Sony tapes the cable cord back together. HBO axes the White Walkers before their army has a chance to rise...again. Netflix released a new trailer for The Witcher series and let’s just say they are probably sold out of bath water. HBO Max also green lights a show for an unexpected character. We also got to “Watchmen”, turns out it isn’t a show about the early watch industry of the late 1880s, just more superheroes!

In movies, Lucasfilm cancels the next Star Wars trilogy after the writer duo walk with a “busy schedule”. It could be worse, they could have been 8 season in. Sony is bringing everyone Into The Spiderverse again. Marvel has big plans for the smallest Avenger. Lastly, Jessica plans on going to “spoiler town” for our review of Terminator: Dark Fate. Warning: May be spicy with some of Steven's "hot take" seasoning. Don’t worry though, we start with a spoiler-free review.

Welcome to Dissecting This Fiction! It's episode 4,  so come join along as my Co-host Jessica Steven go over the latest in movies, shows, and games. Along with whatever else we feel like rambling about!

What's On The Exam Table?

In gaming, Bethesda might be done with game production and setting their sights on harpooning as a new business plan. Google breaks bad news to the early Founder’s Pack adopters. Turns out they might not be getting Stadia on release date. Looks like they “found” out the hard way. Last of Us 2 battles all of Ubisoft’s 2020 lineup for the title of Biggest Delay Champion. A popular streamer named (Search unknown:// ERROR CODE:0876570937) has signed an exclusive deal with Mixer and Twitch doesn’t seem happy about it.

In Television, NBC is developing an esports show so people can watch people watching other people. Yes, that really is a thing. Marvel throws a strike in operations and it causes an employee to split. Freeform cancels a show...or did they just cloak it!? Disney wants children to stay up past their bedtime for a Muppets late night talk show. Netflix is testing ways to take binge watching even further. We then make small talk about Big Mouth and Living With Yourself.

Let's move to the ies! Joker may have danced his way down stairs, but it's climbing its way up the box office ladder. Wonder Woman has a date with Brazil. Disney is hard at work(aholics), stirring the pot with a chance of a Hocus Pocus sequel for the upcoming streaming service.

Before our reviews, we list some of our favorite movies, tv, and games during the month of Halloween. We aren’t keeping score, but if we were...Steven clearly won.

Finally, we watched In The Tall Grass and El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie. Are they worth a watch? I guess you will have to take a listen for our verdict!

Zombieland Double Tap, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, Star Wars Episode 9 trailer, The Mandalorian, The Batman, 

Welcome to Dissecting This Fiction! It's episode 3,  so come join along as my Co-host Jessica Steven go over the latest in movies, shows, and games. Along with whatever else we feel like rambling about!

What's On The Exam Table?

We start off with a Star Wars Episode 9 trailer that premiered during Monday Night Football. It probably had a really high viewership and most likely it wasn't because of the teams playing. Jessica tries to overshadow the Star Wars Episode 9 trailer release with "big news" of her own, but don't worry, I fought back with a trailer breakdown. 

In games, Blizzard is getting the cold shoulder from society. Epic decided their Fortnite map was trash and deleted it because...well, they can. Sony and Microsoft give players some games for the month of Halloween. Still no word on that damn Batman game from WB Games! But someone on the internet thinks they know something new...

For television, Disney wants you to spend the holidays with The Mandalorian. Cowboy Bebop gets a knee bopped during filming. 

As for movies, some old people throw shade at Marvel movies, mean while, Marvel decides if they like having a fat Thor. DC is filling up their list of Batman villains, while Barney looks to make a comeback. Turns out he wasn't extinct after all! But does he still love you!? Ghostbusters ain't afraid of no ghosts...or posting updates on social media. 

Finally, we review two movies that nobody asked for or wanted, but we got them anyways! Zombieland: Double Tap and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. Are they worth a theater visit? Come find out. We have a spoiler free segment and will follow up with a more in depth talk that may contain spoilers, but be assured we will warn you first. 

Lastly, we help Jessica prepare for something regarding her "big news" from earlier. Trust me, its worth a listen!

Stadia and Xcloud streaming, Playstation 5, Call of Duty Mobile, Primal, Dc and MCU news, Joker spoiler review,

Welcome to Dissecting This Fiction! It's episode 2, so come join along as my Co-host Jessica and Steven go over the latest in movies, shows, and games. Not necessarily in that order, but you get the idea! 

What's On The Exam Table?

We start this episode off with some gaming news that includes a few........................................................................................delay announcements. Google and Microsoft start moving their chess pieces to control the cloud streaming market, but who is looking to be on top? Meanwhile, Sony breaks their silence regarding the future of the Playstation 5 for next gen gaming. (It's good to hear something positive after the recent chaos) Does it include PS VR or PS Now!? Who the hell knows!? Oh right, we do! Did you hear about that new Call of Duty game? (Not that one, the other game) Neither did we, but it's already out and we played it...a lot. 

In the television realm, we saw the trailer for a cartoon called Primal and can't wait to watch it. (Apparently it's already out) Disney tells Marvel to "Shut up and take my money" for production of the Disney Plus shows. A few shows get new season announcements/release dates. That was about the extent of TV...But for movies!

Armor up those nips and look for the Bat Signal, there is unexpected casting news for The Batman. Marvel isn't quite done with the Infinity Saga, and it's step brother (Sony) thinks they have spectacular news, but do they? We then talk about a few trailers. (Don't worry, it isn't during the movie) Finally, we have our main movie review. It's this little indie movie called Joker. It turns out DC had a lot to say with this one and so do we, so we start off with our spoiler free impressions for those who have yet to see it and then we cut right in to the core of this movie with full on SPOILERS, but don't worry, we make it very clear when that time comes.
