Whoa, what an episode. Michael and Adam make the cases for the cases that hold our gaming history. Let's examine the culture, the economics, the hardware, and the games through the lens of two very different gamers defending what made the system's special. Unfortunately, once they complete the segment "Keep or Delete" most of us will have to erase half of our formative gaming memories.

The Show You's start off with a pretty thorough discussion of coffee but things take a turn when Maggie chooses House of Wax. I mean, that is utterly ridiculous and Maggie's the only person we know who could pull this answer off. Listen to the whole episode to hear Adam's choice along with some news about the future of this show and how you, the beans, can get involved!

Michael and Adam sit down with ex-cracked alum Robert Brockway and pick up the sweet loot that is his opinion and critiques of Destiny 2. Adam is unapologetic about his love for this game. Can he brave the raid of Michael and Robert's opinions? Does Destiny 2 do a crappy job curating missions? Are video games better than huge orgies? You'll have to ask Michael's 72-year-old dad about that last one!

Adam tells Abe to pull over because he's taking the wheel for an examination of the 2005 British adventure horror thriller movie, The Descent, written and directed by Neil Marshall. In this episode, Adam examines the production hurdles that a film of its budget must overcome and how Marshall expertly navigated tough creative decisions for the benefit of the movie as a whole. From lighting, creature make-up, to camera, it's your one-stop-shop for making a £3.5 million horror film.

We don't even summarize the film this time. It's just three dudes talking about what it means to be human for about an hour. Tom Reimann from Gamefully Unemployed stops by to drop some knowledge. What does it mean to be sentient? What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to be a bean? This episode is all thanks to our Pick the Flick patron Zac Schwartz! Thank you Zac! We'd lock you in an impenetrable bunker any day! We love you!

Alright, cockadoodies! The kings catalog their third entry of their deep dive into the Kingiverse. So get ready to get smothered and sedated like so many Paul Sheldons as they discuss fiddely-foof and its impact on the entire rooty-patootie genre. How does Misery hold up? How does Annie Wilkes stack up in the rare sub-genre of female horror villains? What academic approach does Abe take this time to justify his film degree?

Dan's back! Everybody Dan's back! Go Crazy! Alright, calm down.

It's murder most foul! A cacophony of crime! A Monty Python of ending retcons! The three guys talk about 1985's Clue and how(s) it holds up and hows it don't for an hour and a half. Abe tries to get them to dissect the jokes. They're all into Tim Curry and Martin Mull (spoilers). You'll have to listen to the episode to hear whether or not it was developed around Tim Curry or not and how his role was crafted. Also, the hosts kill each other right after the podcast! They're dead now! No more podcasts! It was Michael with the gun in the microphone!

The third installment of our Fast and Furious deep dive comes with many epiphanies, like Sarah learning what drifting is. Both the hosts are pretty confident in their scoring of how fast this film is, but less so in if it's truly furious. Not a lot of violence in this one, as the franchise is starting to understand what it's broad appeal is and starts using more green screen. Sarah pitches Vin Diesel's semi-autographical short film "Multi-Facial" to us all. Available on Youtube!

Paranorman is a movie from 2012 that sneakily deconstructs American traditionalism, suburbia, and consumerism. Abe is a film nerd who believes that film school dissections of children's animated films are a good use of ninety of your minutes. Let's get real though. That Jon Brion score, Laika's beautifully grotesque animation style, and some superb voice acting keeps this movie afloat. I don't care what Adam says, he doesn't write these descriptions. Chalk it up as a win, baby!
