Conceived during a time when the world was obsessed with the undead and the apocalypse, Call of Duty Zombies paved the way for a series of unforgettable maps and long nights staying up with friends to do the easter eggs. Originally, it was just an extra survival round-based addition that was tacked on to the end of a campaign, but what it grew to was unparalleled by any video game since. So listen along and find out the lore, as we brave the endless hordes of zombies to ask you to Entertain This…

Quick This: Alex’s experience with a virtual machine, Piggy in Numberland update!

The Diary of a Wimpy Kid, the book that took the elementary school by storm in the late 2000s. It’s played a large part in introducing us to books in our childhood years, with its doodle sketched style and hilarious antics of the main character Greg. But what does the creator of this series think? Well, you’ll have to listen in to find out as we talk to the author, Jeff Kinney! We’ll grill him on the books, the movies, and… the musical? That and much more as Jeff joins the Entertain This… podcast to discuss his creative process, and what it’s like to be a famous author in our world.

Quick This: Lightning Round Q&A with a 2nd Grade Classroom!

Nostalgia comes in many forms. The feeling often occurs suddenly and at the most random of times, but there’s no mistaking it once the mind has sensed a familiar pathway buried in the static of time. What happened years ago in a library can still be remembered as vividly as the day it happened by Alex. And his quest to find an early 2000s 3D animated children’s game that he played that day, involving a pig in some kind of land, is the story told in this episode of the Entertain This… Podcast. So listen along and search with us for Piggy in Numberland!

*Queue Halo Theme Music* It’s been a while since we’ve played these games, but in retrospect, the turn of the millennium was a time of great change for the video gaming community. You see some of the progenitors of modern first-person shooters come on the market and among them a launch title for the original Xbox. Halo: Combat Evolved. Never before had the world seen a story-driven shoot-em-up game like this, let alone on a console! So, jump into your Spartan-II Mjolnir armor, because we’re battling the Covenant on a giant space ring and asking you to Entertain This…

Quick This: Nick goes to the Brickyard 200

Imagine that Earth has become uninhabitable for life as we know it in the near future. Humanity departs from our home planet on a luxury cruise across the stars, while robots are tasked with cleaning up the waste that we’ve left behind so that one day, it’s safe for our return. But someone forgot to turn off one last robot, and their name is WALL-E. That’s the premise for Disney Pixar’s 2008 release of the movie WALL-E. In this episode of the Entertain This… Podcast, we’ll go over the plot, the not-so-hidden symbolism, easter eggs, the Apple connection, and much more as we launch our good ship, the Axiom into the depths of discussion space!

Quick This: Ghost Kitchens from Flavortown!

Tobey Maguire in the Sam Raimi films, Andrew Garfield in the Amazing Spiderman series, and Tom Holland in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. These three actors have donned the logo of the famous spider superhero in their separate films, they have slung webs at bad guys, and said quips while fighting. But what we want to debate on this episode isn’t the greatness of these spiderman films, because we feel they are all great in their own regards, but rather which actor is the best spiderman. The winner might surprise you as it’s not one we expected as we ask you to Entertain This… special episode of debate this… (is that too many this’s followed by an ellipsis? maybe…)

Quick This: Live Entertainment during the Pandemic with Brian Koenig

Live entertainment is something that’s making a comeback in a big way in recent months. And in this episode of the podcast, we’re talking with a person live from the road! Entertainer Brian Koenig joins us to chat about Juggling and touring with a motley crew of performers across the country. Maybe he’ll teach us how to juggle?

Quick This: The Colbert Report and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart

Greetings brave knights of the Roundtable Discussion! The quest before us is simple, we must find the source of all Arthurian Legends to get to the root of who people like King Arthur, Lancelot, and Gwenivere really were. And if there are indeed real people, what part of the world were they from? Was there ever an Excalibur or a magician named Merlin? We may not know for sure, but we have some educated guesses as we discuss how these fan fiction-like legends tie in with the new epic medieval fantasy film called “The Green Knight”.

Quick This: Bob Ross

We like to watch people do stuff. Even the silliest and most mundane of actions will garner a large audience if the person is right. It’s fun to see celebrities and follow their every move, it’s not the healthiest thing for them or us, but hey that’s entertainment. The Truman Show conveys these points flawlessly and even serves as a prophetic film when it was released in the late 90s, in a time before reality television took off. We’ll discuss that and simulation theory and so many more topics that arise as we discuss the show about a show!
