  • Episode 57 - Hostiles Review and Oscars 2018 Predictions

    Slowly getting back on their reviewing train, Jake and Danny this week briefly talk about some shows and movies they've been watching and then get into a non-spoiler review of Scott Cooper's new western, Hostiles. They also get into some quick opinions about westerns in general.

    Then the two schlubs show their true contempt for the Oscars by making their own predictions for how the award ceremony will play out. Play along at home or something.

    Thanks to everyone who downloads and listens.

  • Episode 56 - Schlub Cast Games 1/22/2018 "Live Stream Test"

    In this 'mini' episode, Danny and Mike try out a different way to record the Schlub Cast by streaming live over Twitch.tv rather than in person.

    This episode they talk about the Nintendo Mini Direct from two weeks ago, the upcoming Monster Hunter World, and the announcement of Total War: The Three Kingdoms. As well as Danny's experiences playing Oxygen Not Included, They are Billions, Elite Dangerous, and Civilization VI.

    We will try out this format for several episodes to see how it works, so check us out live every (usually) weekend at twitch.tv/voidalnaut and eventually twitch.tv/TheSchlubCast. We'd love to have live conversations about games (as shown by our chat interaction this episode).

    Also, check out Mike as he streams his journey through all of the Final Fantasy games at twitch.tv/KillingEdgeIV
