I'll Show You Mine

Welcome back to another episode of I'll Show You Mine! This week, James is showing Elyse a truly formative game, Halo: Combat Evolved. How is it that Elyse has never played such an iconic game? Is it perhaps because she is so bad at shooters? We play through the whole dang campaign and talk about the history and narrative of Halo, its mechanics, and all the ways it changed the game for fans of sci-fi and action. Suit up, Marine!

Welcome to Season 2 of I'll Show You Mine! We're back folks, did you miss us? This week, Elyse kicks things off by showing James "Paris When It Sizzles", starring William Holden and Audrey Hepburn, from 1964. It's a funny and fun meta-journey through the creation of a film script, with a little romance thrown in for flavor.

In this episode, Elyse and James discuss why we love movies, what makes them work, point out some brilliant cameos, and Elyse delves into some of the behind-the-scenes drama involved in this film while waxing poetic about how sexy Holden and Hepburn are.

In Season 2 we've also changed our rating system, so how will James judge "Paris When It Sizzles"?? Take a listen and find out.

Welcome to the season finale of I'll Show You Mine! In this cursed episode, James shows Elyse Donkey Kong 64, a game notorious for a particular type of design and gameplay that developers Rare became somewhat infamous for. Will Elyse's nostalgia for other Rare games endear her to the tale of DK and his Krew of Kongs? Or is Donkey Kong 64 best left in 1999?

We're going to take a week off to prepare for season two, but we'll be back May 16th bigger and better than ever!

It's time again for a new episode of I'll Show You Mine! This week, James shows Elyse Mario Tennis for the Game Boy Color. The twist this time is Elyse knows a lot about tennis, Mario and otherwise, but she has never played the handheld version of this game, which adds a whole new dimension to the experience. Can she climb to the top and smash ace her way to Victory? Listen and find out!

It's time for another episode of I'll Show You Mine and folks... this one is a doozy. This week, Elyse shows James The Water Babies from 1978. It's a weird little live action/animated British film based on a Victorian-era novel directed by Lionel Jeffries, and somehow, it was a staple of Elyse's childhood. Join us as we try to make it through this bonkers journey to the bottom of a river and the magical land of The Water Babies.
