In this experimental Time Capsule episode we try a variation on the “Nothing, Noise, and Nonsense” approach as the Say Reporters each present two topics leading to discussions about cyrptids, comic book adaptations, sitcoms about podcasting, and the current state of the internet. 

New media tackles old media as Devon and Sejohn start off this latest episode with a discussion about the state of broadcast television as an industry fueled by the cancellation of The Late Show by CBS

Then we look at how one film director is fighting the revival of pirate downloads and discuss if this may be the first step towards the movie industry finding solid footing again. 

After those depressing topics based on Devon’s first hand experiences with both titles we provide a brief overview on “Donkey Kong Bananza” and “Shadow Labyrinth” two video games being reimagined by their original companies for modern audiences. 

Finally we take a trip through the Drive-Thru to discuss some of the latest Fast Food offerings we’ve recently taken notice and/or a bite of.

The Say Reporters both took the time to see the new Superman film and in this episode we take the time to share our initial thoughts about it.

Before that fun begins though Devon has a rather somber message to share about the future of the River City Girls and Sejohn is takes the time to educate when the topic of Spider-Man, as represented in the 1967 cartoon theme song, is brought up. 

The Say Report is back with a recorded the same week as release episode and the Say Reporters are chomping at the bit to share what they got up to in the last few weeks of June. 

For Sejohn that meant multiple rewatches of Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners,” a first time voyage with Doug Liman’s “Road House” remake, and some interesting exploration of changes happening in internet entertainment

Meanwhile Devon revisited Jurassic World in the latest reboot/requel to join the Jurassic Park Franchise, tested out the limits of repeat business at locally owned and operated shops, and took some time to correct some mistakes he felt he made in relationship to his Switch 2

At the end of the day this episode is a 3…2…1 countdown to your Say Reporters regaining their bearings after a few weeks off and the audiences gets to enjoy every awkward minute of that.

It is that time again for your Say Reporters to present a playlist of songs to help you keep and pass the time this Summer and this year Sejohn had the brilliant idea to theme it around Summer Nights and that feeling of calm that comes over you when the sun goes down and thus Say-Mmer Nights 2025 was born: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5eSVMCTyM2TjKc6cHcTZbH?si=N-hgKYKkQeeAW0kiSK-Q2A&pi=0mCoHcDjR1G49

Before we discuss our reasoning behind our song choices we first spend sometime in the seriousness that is going on in our world on the day that we are recording and how the actions made by our country overnight make us feel. 

Its not all doom and gloom though Sejohn takes the time to share how he recently  interacted with the culture of cinema, Devon talks about how Dayle and he weirdly became the entertainment at their usual Tuesday spot, and they both discuss their latest achievements in the gaming space.

Strap into your submarine, jet, or sentient tank as the Say Reporters take you on a wild ride celebrating the 30th Anniversary of yet another comic book to film adaptation in Rachel Talalay’s “Tank Girl”

Thrill as Lori Petty steps in to the combat boots of Rebecca Buck, sticks it to Malcolm McDowell as the Master of Water and Power Kesslee, and eventually finds love with Booga a Genetically Altered Kangaroo Super Soldier much to the chagrin of Ice-T’s T-Saint. 

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’lll laugh again, and you’ll cheer as Tank Girl unapologetically drives straight though the hearts and minds of her fans making both Devon and Sejohn long for a time where film’s trusted their audience and weren’t afraid to take big risks.

In another excused absence episode the Say Reporter take their time to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the film tha changed the entire landscape of cinema…

Steven Spielberg’s origin of the blockbuster film: “Jaws”

This latest episode of the Say Report sees Devon and Sejohn sharing the ways they entertained themselves over the last week with hyper-specific adaptations made to satisfy the demands of the people. 

From there we switch gears to talking about video games, starting with the time Sejohn has spent with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and the difficulty he has had with getting into the experience and ending with Devon sharing some final thoughts on the Nintendo Switch 2 now that he has been able to spend a full week with the Mario Kart Device.

Then Sejohn is allowed to choose his own adventure leading to a discussion about some of the more cultivated experiences that streaming platforms have on offer and the death and return of DVD Commentary tracks and how they can continue to be relevant in the modern landscape of entertainment. 

Making good on our Say Report Promise from last week we address the AI Generated Song in the room from our Bedazzled episode and share our thoughts about the practical usage and application of Artificial Intelligence as the paradigm of its existence in our world continues to shift. 

Then Devon shares his thoughts about the new live-action remake of “Lilo & Stitch” and whether of not the hot takes that seems to be surviving on the internet are examples of inflammatory statements to gain exposure or a deeper revelation related to the level of media literacy in the country. Devon also uses the latest Disney adaptation as a way to finally get five minutes about the live-action “Snow White” remake off of his chest.

Finally we wrap up the episode with a discussion about the Switch 2 and how some of the choices related to the release of this new hotness from Nintendo has the Say Reporters scratching their heads and asking the big question of: Why?

In the interim between recordings, the world lost George Wendt, and we start off this episode by honoring the man and what he meant to your Say Reporters by celebrating those parts of his career that have not only touched our lives but transcended to become the bedrock of the people we are.

After that, Sejohn takes a brief moment to share with the group some of the particulars about his visit to Los Angeles that led to us to having an approved absence episode last. 

Then Devon, despite trying to get out has been pulled back into the world of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate after its release on the PS4 and PS5, and both of your hosts have some interesting things to share after the extensive testing they have put the latest version of the game through. 

Finally, we tease the multitude of things that will be discussed in our next episode as we prepare to catchup on all the non-Brendan Fraser fun that was had in May 2025 that was sadly preempted by Mr. Wendt’s unexpected passing. 

Thank you for the laughs George… this episode is for you.
