No Crisis Yet!

The Rehearsal finale is discussed, lauded, and wholly enjoyed by the hosts.

The Rehearsal Season 2 ups the ante while still saying true to the original format. But what IS the joke?

NOTE: Jon's end of the conversation has atrocious audio quality for reasons only known to the audio gods.

Jon and Ben discuss how Amazon's Fallout show nearly perfectly threads the needle regarding a notoriously hard-to-nail tone of the games.

Ben and Jon avoid re-litigating the rote marketing exercise of Starfield and focus on the new Armored Core and the increasingly diminishing returns of fidelity in new games.

Todd Howard and company are at it again but this time INNNNNN SPAAAAAAAAACE.

Did Barry find redemption? Who assumed the mantle of Logan Roy? Jon and Ben discuss and analyze the series finales of Barry and Succession.

Ben and Jon check-in at the halfway-ish mark on both Succession and Barry. How much misery can either of them handle?

Andor trades lightsabers and rote space battles for a grounded examination of authoritarianism and that decision has made it the best Star Wars project in decades.

Note: This episode was recorded late in 2022 but Jon just got around to editing it. Enjoy! Jon and Ben discuss the Steam Deck's incredible potential and the demise of Stadia.

Nathan Fielder's and HBO's The Rehearsal examines artifice, reality television, and our expectations of the media we consume. It's all fodder for a great discussion between hosts Jon and Ben, who nailed it all in one take. Or did they?
