We talk Solo, boycotting films, and a what we're looking forward to releasing this Summer.

Welcome to 2018! The Barrels are back and ready for a new year with season 2 of the Dented Barrels Podcast.

In this episode, the Barrels discuss what they're looking forward to in 2018, the Solo: Star Wars Story trailer reactions, and Player Unknown's Battlegrounds (PuBG)...among a potpourri of other topics.

Welcome aboard!

 

We went together for the first showing and we embargoed ourselves until we got in front of the microphones. What you are about to hear is raw reaction 30 minutes after leaving the theater.

We thought this was going to be a regular episode...we were wrong. Trailer reaction to Infinity War quickly dissolves into a discussion/debate about the effect of commercialism on geek culture. Has geek culture gone too mainstream? Are the side effects of mainstream geek culture a destruction of true fandoms? Does paying to see big tent comic book movies make you part of the problem?

...The rabbit hole opens and we jump in.

Discussing whether John McClane could beat John Rambo in a fight is really a discussion everyone should have at some point; and when is the last time you really belted out the Fox Production Company jingle (or the one from Tri-Star)?
