Grumpy Young Men

Today we’re discussing the topic that’s on everyone’s minds, COVID-19, better known as the Coronavirus. Samuel goes in-depth on what exactly the virus is, what we can do to prevent the spread, and we talk in-depth about how its affecting our and everyone else’s lives. This was recorded March 16th, 2020.

Also, why we hate having to do another serious episode.

This week we’re gushing over one of our favorite multiplayer games in recent years, Ultimate Chicken Horse. We cover the brilliant mechanics, the floaty controls, and share some of our fondest memories playing.

Also, why we hate out video game backlogs.

Today we review a show we’re both pretty mixed on, Netflix’s The Witcher. We talk about the muddy storytelling, the old-fashioned style and theming, and the copious and unnecessary amount of female nudity.

Also, why we hate inconclusive elections. (Recorded February 9th, 2020.)

This week we’re reviewing one of the most talked-about films this awards season, 1917. We talk about how well the one-shot trick works, the large amount of stuff that happens in just a day, and also we (accidentally) spoil it in the first minute, so, you know, watch out.

Also, why we hate spilling water.

Today we’re reviewing The Mandalorian, the hit Star Wars television program. We go through the entire season arc, our favorite episodes, and of course, Baby Yoda.

Also, why Henry hates his setup (and USB-C lies).

This week we’re reviewing one of the most beloved superhero movies possibly ever, Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse. We discuss the highs and lows of the visual style, the fantastic characters, and the cookie-cutter plot.

Also, why we hate lightbulbs.

(Recorded November 2nd, 2019.)

Today on the podcast we have our top ten MEMEs. Join Henry and Samuel as they discuss all manner of funny cats, bois, WoW exclamations, voice line spamming, and… is this a pigeon?

Also, why we hate the Be Like Bob meme.

(Recorded December 14th, 2019.)

This week we’re reviewing MINION MASTERS, an auto-playing/free-to-play/board game/strategy/deck-building video game. We discuss the simple gameplay elements, the light strategic decisions, and the 2005-looking graphics.

Also, why we hate nuclear anxiety. (Recorded January 3rd, 2020.)

We’re getting personal this week! Henry and Samuel look back on the decade that was, and rank the top ten years of the past decade (2010-2019). We discuss what made these years great, and what made them terrible. It gets pretty introspective.

Also, why we hate the YouTube double ad.

Today we review the conclusion to the Skywalker Saga, Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker. We discuss what we liked about the film (not a lot!) and also what we didn’t like about the film (a lot!), as well as some general thoughts on this sequel trilogy now that it’s completed.

Also, some follow up on comic strips and The Far Side.
