Is This Pinball?

Last week, Willie (for reasons known only to him) decided to watch all the Resident Evil movies. Did you know that there are a lot of them? Like, a LOT of them? I didn't. But there are. And now Willie is gonna tell us about them, because otherwise they'll haunt him forever.

How pinball is Milla Jovovich? We may be the only ones brave enough to find out.

OK, sure: Amy might have recorded this hunched over her computer in her parents' den. And, yeah, Dylan's audio is haunted by his ever-rumbling air conditioning. BUT YOU'RE NOT HERE FOR THE SOUND QUALITY (probably), you're here for the GOOD GOOD GOOFS.

And this episode sure has a lot of those good goofs you crave. Whether we're DUNKING on Donald Rumsfeld, marveling at Hitachi's range of products, or trying to figure out what Korn actually is, it's a good time (if we do say so ourselves)

Uh oh Amy has gone to Connecticut to do New England type things and left the boys all alone! They sat in the dark for a long time and then Sam Trillo (a.k.a. Poochy) walked in and turned the lights on to chat about music and comedy and just how pinball singing pee pee poo poo quietly to yourself is!

We have a whole smorgasbord for you this week! Wanna know what Dylan thought about In the Heights? (The answer might surprise you!) Wanna know about what fantasy series Willie knows a lot about? (The answer might surprise you!) Wanna know if a game called New World is possibly a minefield of BAD CHOICES? (The answer absolutely will not surprise you!)

WE GOT IT ALL, BAYBEEE.

Willie starts the pod by saying that we "might not have that many things" to say about the movie we all watched, Zach Snyder's Army of the Dead.

Turns out we have LOTS of things to say about it: why something that sounds good on paper could be so boring, why it might not actually sound good on paper, The Hot Rock, why even zombie ladies can't catch a break from being fridged, superimposed Tig Notaro, and a million other things.

AND we actually remember to talk about how pinball it all is. And it is pinball. Trust us.

With Willie and Dylan returning to work, and Amy on some theatre panel or another, scheduling got away from us this week.

BUT don't worry, we'll be back next week AND, in the meantime, we have a new song from Dylan and Willie's band, The Pile! Amy thinks it's a jam! (And maybe you will too.)

This week, we're talking about video games that allow your characters to *~*do the nasty*~* Awwww yeah, baybeeee. Where do they success? Where do they fail? Why do they usually fail much more often than they succeed? WE'RE HERE TO FIND OUT.

Tune in for discussion of GTA: San Andreas, Dragon Age Inquisition, Mass Effect, The Sims, The Last of Us Part II, those free to play games that tell us there's no way we're going to last five minutes, and more!

It's been too long since we've really tried to figure out what pinball is, but we're here to rectify that today, through the use of Dylan's dictionary on symbols.

Can we finally get to the true essence of pinball, looking at the meaning behind orbs, silver, and ramps? And what does it have to do with Egyptian mythology around pure silver god bones? TUNE IN TO FIND OUT.

Oh, and we also talk about Community, for some reason.

In this episode, we return to Resident Evil, just in time for the release of Resident Evil Village: Giant Lady Dating Sim.

We're here to discuss why this is Dylan's favorite (ever) Resident Evil, the internet's unending horniness, why Capcom hates hands, and also why Capcom seems to be one of the last goofy-fun AAA developers.
