Stranded & Streaming

Despite what you’ve heard from Guns N’ Roses, the jungle is not all fun and games. At least not for Alan Parrish. After finding a mysterious and ominous board game, his life is changed forever when he and Sarah Whittle play Jumanji. What is Jumanji? Is it really just a board game? Perhaps a portal to another world? Or maybe it isn’t a game. Maybe it’s an otherworldly entity bent on the consumption of innocent board game players as their minds fall into madness… Where do all the animals and carnivorous plants really come from? And how can you get out of quicksand if people only try to grab you with things that separate? Join us and find out!

Free your mind… we’re going back to where it all started, The Matrix. A war has raged for centuries between humans and machines. Morpheus believes he has found The One, the prophesied savior of the human race and who will bring about the end of The Matrix. Will Neo answer his calling and fulfill the prophecy? Join us for a journey down the rabbit hole where flip phones and dial-up internet were the latest and greatest tech, people could learn anything from Kung Fu to how to fly a helicopter just by plugging into a training program, and all the cool kids wear leather and sunglasses. Red pill or blue pill? Doesn’t matter, the illusion of choice is only there to mask the truth you already know. That Stranded and Streaming is the best place to learn useless things about The Matrix.

Join us in this journey down the rabbit-hole as we meet new characters, see the progress of humanity vs machine, and find out the answer to the question; does Resurrections live up to its predecessors? Bonus question; should Lawrence Fishbowl be cast as Mysterio in the MCU? Let us know what you think!
