Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme!  We're wrapping up Originated On Stage month with my sister's mandated flick, Glengarry Glen Ross, a movie known for Alec Baldwin's "Always Be Closing" monologue that new viewers are surprised to find is his only scene in the movie!

Join us as we finally learn what the movie's title means!

We decided to do something dumb and this video is the consequence! Join Bee and Strawbz as they live-write a collaborative one-shot featuring [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] doing [REDACTED]. This episode has tips on editing, lots of Chaos Cola, piss on the floor (???), and a fully sound-designed radio play of the final product featuring the voice talent stylings of @SongbirdsMelody! It's a real treat and a rip-roaring good time of an episode, and we hope you have as much fun listening to it as we did making it - if not, even more!

Music: Elevator Music - Kevin McLeod 2pm - Animal Crossing City Folk Dining Car Closet - The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog OST Mr. Resetti - Animal Crossing Mii Channel - For the Nintendo Wii by Kazumi Totaka Last Friday Night - Jazz Cover by Justin Klunk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDFeUg753s0)

Chat Transcript:

7:04 PMaddictedtochaos​​I have the same pet peeve.

7:07 PMaddictedtochaos​​Pet peeve is the more polite way of saying “Major Psychotic F’ing Hatred”

7:08 PMSheekago​​Hey

7:13 PMSheekago​​I abandoned Twitter for Bluesky

7:16 PMSheekago​​Deluxe edition update, GOTY version, HD Remastered version.

7:16 PMaddictedtochaos​​The internet in general is a cesspool.

7:20 PMaddictedtochaos​​And then there is Expedition 33 and it is $50, and has sold over 3 million copies and may well win GOTY.

7:21 PMLynndy Lee​​hello

7:22 PMSheekago​​FalOut 76

7:24 PMSheekago​​We buy incomplete games now. Thanks to the internet, they can sell us a half complete game. Then release "patches" to fix it.

7:34 PMaddictedtochaos​​Sandfall Interactive is the developer

7:35 PMaddictedtochaos​​They are made up of former Ubisoft developers.

7:36 PMaddictedtochaos​​Kepler is the publisher

7:38 PMSheekago​​The Emperor doesn't care about the storm troopers. He gets their armor at Big Al's Discount Emporium.

7:39 PMaddictedtochaos​​The coolest looking armor in Sci-Fi is Captain Power.

7:43 PMaddictedtochaos​​Storm Troopers are the equivalent of Red Shirts in Star Trek, they are just canon fodder.

7:48 PMLynndy Lee​​and if you ever stumbled on an anime not about high school kids, she's a working adult but looks like a child. meh

7:50 PMLynndy Lee​​that " I can change him" trope does not work anymore

7:53 PMSheekago​​I just got a Twitch notification stating that Andrew Eisen is playing TRAILS OF COLD STEEL II - Notuce Us, Bracer Senpai!

7:56 PMaddictedtochaos​​But I hate everyone, lol.

7:58 PMaddictedtochaos​​Can’t have pets where I live.

7:58 PMLynndy Lee​​I'm grow old and alone but I'll have cats (^^)

7:59 PMSheekago​​I have a Yorkie Chihuahua mutt. He's adorable and a menace,

8:05 PMSheekago​​My scale: 1. Dogs 2. Cats 3. Rats 4. People
