Welcome to a new episode and a new season of I’ll Show You Mine! We’re kicking things off this time with a little Valentine’s Day romcom, ‘Overboard’ from 1987, starring the iconic couple, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. ‘Overboard’ tells the story of a spoiled, wealthy socialite who loses her memory and is convinced by a down-on-his-luck carpenter that she is his wife and mother to his four rambunctious boys.

Join us as we talk about the creepy premise of this movie, why we think it still works, and consider how it compares to the 2018 “gender-swapped” remake with Anna Faris and Eugenio Derbez.

Welcome to another episode of I’ll Show You Mine! This week we’re finishing off the season with one more Halloween episode, where James shows Elyse ‘Condemned 2: Bloodshot’ from 2008. Made for the Xbox 360, this sequel to ‘Condemned: Criminal Origins’ follows now-disgraced FBI agent Ethan Thomas as he attempts to save his city from a dark and violent influence without losing his mind himself.

Join us as we wander through the dankest, darkest, nastiest places in the city, talk about the changes from the first game, and give a spook rating to each level (that we played that is).

Our next episode will be our JRPG Thanksgiving special, coming out of course, on the week of American Thanksgiving.

Join us as we talk about Robin Williams’ iconic performance as teacher John Keating, discuss our own relationship to reading, writing, and poetry, and get more than a little emotional thinking about how we could maybe “Carpe Diem” in our own lives a bit more.
