Recomendies

Hi everyone! Welcome to the ninth episode of Recomendies, and boy oh boy, do we have a special one today. Join me and my good friend Alex Walkon as we discuss the 2016 Shane Black film, The Nice Guys. It's fitting Alex is on this episode, because as anyone who knows him can attest, he really is an incredibly nice guy. Fresh off of a viewing of the film, Alex and I talk all about how good the cast of this movie is, what makes it so funny, and just general celebrities that we admire. If you want to hear more of Alex, check out his podcast, Closing the Gap (Year), where he talks about all things sports on and off the field; you truly won't be disappointed, it's my favorite podcast out there. Thanks for listening to this episode, I hope you enjoy, and stay tuned for more episodes in the future!

Welcome the eighth episode of Recomendies! In today's episode, we focus on the 2003 smash hit book, The Da Vinci Code. The thought train certainly got off its tracks a couple of times in this one, but I think it led to some insightful (in my mind) discourse about people being able to enjoy what they like no matter what the critics might say. This one was a lot of fun to record, and I hope you enjoy listening! 

Hi everyone! Welcome to the seventh episode of Recomendies. This week, we're looking at the hit comedy/drama/detective show, Psych. I really loved talking about this show, and it solidified itself as one of my favorites back when I was a wee lad in the early days of middle school. It's really funny, has interesting plot lines, and above all, has a bangin' theme song. I definitely recommend Psych if you're looking for something that's fun, interesting to watch, and is made with a lot of love. Stay tuned for more episodes, and thank you for listening!

Welcome to the sixth episode of Recomendies! We've finally gotten to a movie, and this one's a real treat. Joining me is my longtime friend and few-time bar trivia partner, Ben Schuster! We discuss Wes Anderson's 2009 film, Fantastic Mr. Fox, which is based on the children's book of the same name by Roald Dahl. We truly do live, laugh, and love in this episode, as we discuss everything from the medium of animation to an IMDB user's bitter and disconsolate opinion of Fantastic Mr. Fox. The conversation flowed like the Nile and the giggles were a-plenty; it truly was a wonderful time. As always, thank you so much for listening, I hope you enjoy! 

We're back with another video game episode, and another guest episode! Joining me is someone very special all the way from Seattle; my girlfriend, Megan Sun. In this episode, we talk about the video game series Animal Crossing, and Megan gives us some insight as to why this she likes this game despite not being a huge gamer. It's cute, relaxed, and more or less just a chill time as far as video games go. I hope you guys enjoy this one, and stay tuned for more episodes in the future! Have a good day! Or night! Bye!

Hi everyone, welcome to the fourth episode of Recomendies! We're back to a solo episode, so this one's a little shorter. It's the first TV show episode, and I think we started off with a pretty good one; HBO's Chernobyl. I talk (to the best of my ability) about the real life event that the show depicts, as well as what I think makes the show great. Some parts of the episode get a little science-y, so maybe you'll even learn a thing or two! Or maybe not, who knows. Anyways, I hop you enjoy! As always, I really appreciate anyone who listens, I love everything about making these. Check out the previous episodes if you haven't and stay tuned for more in the future!

Welcome to episode three of Recomendies! We have another guest, and folks, this one's a doozy. Jazz guitarist extraordinaire and all-around wonderful person Luke Sittard joins the show to talk about The Night Game, a rock/alternative album by the band, The Night Game. It's a first music episode, and boy, did the conversation ever flow. Luke and I discuss everything from John Mayer, his own musical journey, and some weirdly visceral reviews of the album. We go track by track, giving our thoughts on each song and giving you, the listener, just a little taste. This is a girthy one, but I hope you'll enjoy listening as much as Luke and I enjoyed talking. Enjoy!

Welcome to the second episode of Recomendies, our first episode with a guest! I talk with one of my older brothers, Matthew Peters, about a video game we both hold in very high regard: Firewatch. We discuss everything from the striking visual style of the game, the amazing performances by the two leads, and our thoughts on video games and gaming as a whole. This episode is definitely a lot longer, as I am sure a lot of the guest episodes will be, and if you make it through the whole thing just know I appreciate and love you. I hope you enjoy the episode, and if you feel so inclined, give Firewatch a try! I'm honestly not sure if anyone really reads these, but if you do, let me know!

Welcome to the debut episode of Recomendies, a podcast where I, Adam Peters, recommend some of my favorite pieces of media that I think more people should check out. Keep in mind I have basically zero authority on the subject, and I've also never done a podcast by myself before... oh well, I hope you enjoy the episode! Each week, we'll focus on one book, movie, TV show, video game, or album, and I'll just talk more about it. We'll visit the Wikipedia page, look at critical and audience reception, and I'll talk about why this piece of media is significant to me. Stay tuned for more episodes!
