Grumpy Young Men

This week review one of the best movies of last year, Martin Scorsese’s Silence. We talk about the deeply entrenched themes, the compelling characters, and why this movie might be a once-in-a-lifetime watch.

Also, why we hate our chairs.

Today we continue and conclude our stupid movie ranking of all the movies we have ever reviewed. Compromises are made and blood will be shed. (Okay, there wasn’t any bloodshed, it’s just this list was difficult to make.)

This week we’re reviewing the survival game Subnautica. We cover lush visuals and creative soundtrack, the sheer amount of things you can DO in this game, and inevitably compare it to Minecraft about a dozen times.

Also, why we hate shipping. 

Today we’re doing something really weird. We’re going through all the movies we’ve reviewed, and ranking them incredibly arbitrarily as better than each other. Insanity ensues.

This week we cover one of the most well-liked comedies of recent years, Edgar Wright’s Hot Fuzz. We talk about the brilliant and absurd premise, the smart comedic touches, and excessive, so extremely excessive, violence.

Also, why we hate iTunes. 

Today we bring you another list episode: this time, we’re tackling our top ten favorite moments in video games. We talk about D&D role-plays, swapping to other people, fearing clowns, multiplayer madness, baby bosses, and visiting Tokyo. 

Also, why we hate Nintendo console scarcity. 

This week we discuss the beautiful and sad video game, Transistor (just in time for Supergiant’s new game, Pyre). We cover the fantastic art style, the depressing story and the world, and the begrudgingly repetitive combat. 

Also, why we hate (misogynistic) Doctor Who fans.   

Today the topic is holidays! We discuss all manner of holidays, what we like about them, what we don’t. We debate Memorial Day versus Veteran’s Day, wonder why we don’t celebrate Juneteenth, and forever question the modern relevance of Columbus Day. 

Also, why we hate miniature versions of games. 

This week we cover one of Edgar Allan Poe’s lesser-known short stories, The Fall of the House of Usher. We go into detail about the brilliant (and somewhat dated) writing style, the genuine terror in this book, and try to define a fissure.

Also, why we hate Xbox names. 

Today Henry and Samuel discuss their top ten favorite moments in movies. We cover everything from touching final moments, couples botching robberies, cowbell J.K. Simmons, telling the truth to aliens, and cussing.

Also, why we hate keyless cars.
