Loosely Defined

After a brief hiatus due to sickness and the obligations of family, Loosely Defined is back for the new year! To celebrate 2020 we're looking back on 2019 and the decade that was the 2010s! In keeping with our annual tradition we're giving out our individual Loosely Defined Awards for the best movies, video games, and television shows of the last year and decade, as well as some other more specific honorable mentions and shout outs.

Welcome to the Loosely Defined podcast. Join us as we discuss movies, video games, TV, comics and more as we shoot the shit and just have fun. Press play, sit back, relax and enjoy as we define the irrelevant and loosely cover anything and everything that matters to us (and hopefully some of you)!

The Game Awards were last Thursday, December 12. So this week on Loosely Defined we're covering all the big winners, losers, and announcements. The biggest of which is the reveal of the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X. We look forward to the next console generation and what we want and expect from it.

(*PLEASE READ*) We've run into some more technical issues that you'll hear at the end of this episode. Still working out the kinks of recording while living across the country from each other, but we appreciate you bearing with us.

It's the holiday season and that means uncomfortable and tense arguments with your family and friends! To keep in this spirit of pissing off those closest to you, Bo and Ed are sharing their most controversial takes on video games, movies, and more. Holiday Hot Takes was one of the best things we did in the first iteration of Loosely Defined and we're psyched to bring it back!
