The Good, The Bad And The Unwatchable

Quick note: I mixed up Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas with Fireproof starring Kirk Cameron.

Besides a discussion of Adam's ever-evolving sexual identity, my mother's first-ever podcast cameo, and a brand new segment called Brian, Why? we also talk about predictably bad film Escape Room: Tournament of Champions, directed, apparently, by one-time great-movie director Adam Robitel. Strap in, because we've got an itch only discussing bad movies and femboys and high school drama can scratch.

We also touch on Pureflix and Christian filmmaking like the God's Not Dead series and a recent adaptation of Lee Strobel's The Case For Christ, as well as Guillermo Del Toro's most recent movies, Crimson Peak and The Shape of Water. There's also a little chatter about modern anime wonder Your Name.

I had to bring in the Dayton Upstairs Auxiliary Recording Team for this one. Imported those guys from way out of town to talk about Simon McQuoid's new take on Mortal Kombat.

This was easily the most editing I ever had to do to a podcast! Yikes! We also barely even scratched the surface of End of Evangelion, so expect this mini-series to go on longer than it was originally pitched to. Thanks to Julie, Kevin and podcast art creator Eric for being on the show this time, and look forward to more Eva content in the future.

The only tradition in my life is the annual GBU Christmas Miracle, so get ready for a COVID-flavored one to send out this shitty year!

We touch on A Christmas Story 2, Tokyo Godfathers, Jingle All the Way, Jingle All the Way 2, Almost Christmas, Jingle Jangle, Happiest Season, This Christmas, Charlie Brown Christmas, It's a Wonderful Life, A Very Brady Christmas, An American Christmas Carol, A Miracle on 34th St, Christmas in Compton, and Christmas in the Smokies. We almost discussed Pottersville, but as is appropriate for that movie, we forgot to.

Well, here's something new! A full-length episode look at a TV show! This time, I invite on two new guest hosts, Julie and Kevin, to get philosophical with the thinking boy's robot cartoon, Neon Genesis Evangelion! This is the beginning of a journey that should take us all the way to Rebuild of Evangelion 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon a Time.

CW: While neither we nor the clips involved in this episode directly describe the details of the accusation against Woody Allen, I would be remiss if I didn't warn listeners that the first half of this episode is dealing with the subject of sexual abuse. If that is a concern, one may want to skip the opening 2 minutes of the show.

This wound up being a mammoth episode Following Adam's formal return to the podcast, we've sat down (socially distant and over Discord) to briefly touch on the Star Wars franchise, then to go over Rick Worley's YouTube video essay / documentary about Woody Allen and his accusers, and then finally, after all these years, we review In the Mood For Love by Wong Kar-wai.

In a first for the show, former co-host Adam returns to discuss the falling out which nearly ended the show, and the reconciliation 3 years later. Listeners may finally get some answers to that situation, and an honest dissection of two big egos.

I'll have an absolute barrage of new episodes coming out over the coming days and weeks.
