Grumpy Young Men

Today, we review the hit mobile game, The Room. We discuss some of the problems with the puzzles, the lackluster story, and the incredible mechanics and general “feel” of this game.

Also, why we hate the timing of illness.

Today, Henry and Samuel are here to tackle the topic of streaming video services. We cover some of the things they do right, the surprising rise of the industry, and the unique original content they put out and produce.

Also, why we hate “Install Our App!”. 

Today on the podcast, Henry and Samuel review the little-known indie movie, Frank. We develop a four-stage process for Frank, praise the triangle of main characters, fall in love with the music, and try to figure out why this movie is just so damn good.

Also, why we hate movie release date conventions.

For this special episode, Henry and Samuel discuss their top ten favorite video games. We cover brawling, civilizing, jumpman-ing, leaguing, and Samuel’s overreaction to multi-leveled platforming.

Also, why we hate health bars.

Few books are as near and dear to the hearts of prepubescent Henry and Samuel as the Deltora Quest series is. It may not have been a long series, but it had great riddles and a very imaginative world. The question is, what do we think of it now?

Also, why we hate the Oscars.

Today, we are here to talk about musical scores. We bring up some of our favorite musicals, best original scores, most creative and fun soundtracks, as well as scores that just enhance the movie in general. We also briefly cover some of our favorite scores in TV and video games. Note: we were very tired when recording this.

Also, why we hate inconvenient breakage. 

Today we review the newish Nintendo game Fire Emblem Heroes. We break apart and praise the simple gameplay style, criticize the star-system, and wonder what Nintendo’s mobile future will look like.

Also, why we hate “additional storage required”.

After our review of Rogue One last week, we thought it would only be appropriate to talk about more Star Wars. Specifically, we discuss the future of Star Wars. Obi-Wan spinoff movies! Episode VIII predictions! Recasting Han Solo? All this and more on Grumpy Young Men.

Also, why we hate console storage.

Today we review the new Star Wars movie, Rogue One. We discuss the lackluster beginning, the thrilling conclusion, and ultimately do our best to try and rank it amongst the other Star Wars movies. 

Also, why we hate Netflix descriptions. 

Today for our special episode, we take turns ranting about overrated things. We start out with some classic overrated bits of media, but eventually, it just dissolves into what you could buy instead of stainless steel appliances.

Also, why we hate this basement.
