Grumpy Young Men

Join Henry and Samuel in talking about the recent indie movie, Locke. We discuss the unique idea behind this movie, complain about the ending, and talk about how good of an actor Tom Hardy is.

Also, why we hate dead dogs. 

Join Henry and Samuel in discussing The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. We go over the cookie-cutter tragedy plot, find about 1,000 metaphors and themes, and decide that children simply don’t think like this author thinks they do. (“Out-with”? Seriously?)

Also, why we hate Will Smith’s agent.

Join Henry and Samuel as we talk about our favorite movie of 2015, The Big Short. We talk about how well this movie handles its confusing plot, praise the “artsy” editing style, and wish the characters were fleshed out a little more.

Also, why we hate broken traffic lights. 

Join Henry and Samuel in discussing the popular Nintendo platformer, New Super Mario Bros. Wii. We talk about throwing people into pits, why the multiplayer gameplay was so much fun, and inevitably, we talk about every Mario game ever.

Also, why we hate gas gauges. 

Join Henry and Samuel in Special Episode #24, which is all about rants. Join us as we rant about movies, mumbling, weird flavors, George W. Bush dancing, chiclets, and some brief follow-up on Overwatch. Also, do you know where Louisiana is?

Join Henry and Samuel as we discuss The Lord of the Rings. We talk about the damn-near flawless world, the incredible writing style, and how it still defines the standard for fantasy tales. Unfortunately however, it’s pretty dated.

Also, why you need to verify facts before you post them.

Join Henry and Samuel as we talk about the “business simulation” genre of video games, specifically Zoo Tycoon. We cover the unique gameplay, wonder why these were such a thing fifteen years ago and not now, and of course, why you should go to Legoland.

Also, why we hate blisters. 

Welcome to Grumpy Young Men, Season 3! (And yes, any time we miss a couple weeks, we just call it intentional by starting a new season.) And today we’re gonna be talking about Captain America: Civil War. We wonder why this isn’t just an Avengers movie, talk about how Iron Man’s argument is terribly stupid, and question the villain’s goals (SPOILERS!).

Also, why we hate overhype. 

SPECIAL EPISODE #23, wherein Henry and Samuel discuss the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We talk about the pros and cons of all of these movies being interconnected, the quality of said movies, and rank our favorites and least-favorites. 

Also, why we hate Spiderman. 

Join Henry and Samuel as we rave about a game that isn’t even out yet, Overwatch. We go over the unique and diverse characters, point out all the little things this game does right, and figure out why all multiplayer games aren’t quite this fun right off the bat.

Also, why we hate dew.
