    Zack, Danny, Mike, and Zack gather to look back on the longest week in the history of EA's existence with all of their faux-pas and generally stupid decisions regarding Battlefront 2's release.

    Thanks to everyone who downloads and listens.

    Also come hang out with Danny on twitch.tv/voidalnaut as he streams his trials through Darkest Dungeon as well as retackling Hitman's elusive targets.

  • Episode 46 - Murder on the Orient Express Review

    This episode Jake and Danny review Sir Kenneth Branagh's Murder on the Orient Express and not Justice League like we said last episode because we are bad at telling time.

    Before the review, they also talk about some film news involving the upcoming Amazon series in the Lord of the Rings universe, Star Wars news involving Rian Johnson, and more build up talk for next week's Justice League review.

    In the aftershow, they talk about a potential 'insane film' discussion episode.

    Thanks to everyone who downloads and listens.

    The outro this episode is from the youtube channel Drman Productions.

  • Episode 44 - Thor: Ragnarok Review

    Jake and Danny invite fellow Schlub Cast Thor Expert™ Zack to talk about Taika Wititi's Thor: Ragnarok.

    They also veer off course to talk about other upcoming films such as Justice League, The Shape of Water, Warcraft, and the Lion King as well as many other off topic subjects.

    Then in the aftershow, Danny and Jake try to predict how Justice League will turn out but somehow end up talking about Warcraft again.

  • Episode 43 - Jigsaw Review "Tobin Bell Doesn't Need Anymore of Ya Cash"

    At long last, Jake and Danny have seen Jigsaw - the 8th installment in the Saw franchise.

    Before they get into that long-awaited review, they talk about some other horror films they've seen this season, such as Gerald's Game, 1922, The Babysitter, Train to Busan, and The Host. Plus, some general discussion on other Stephen King films.

    After the review, listen as Jake and Danny have an aftershow argument about Christmas. Yeah.

  • Episode 42 - Schlub Cast Games 10/30/2017 "Sodium Free"

    Recorded for the week of 10/30/2017 (released classically late into the week)

    In a full Schlub Cast Games lineup, Danny, Mike, and the Zacks discuss such topics as the Nintendo Switch's success, Super Mario Odyssey, and Destiny 2 on PC, all while trying to limit their inner cynical thoughts as much as they can.

    Then they wrap up this longest episode yet with a conversation about all the early access platforms for games that have become so prevalent within the industry.

    P.S. Danny streams games on Twitch every weekday at 4 PM CST. Check him out at twitch.tv/voidalnaut

  • Episode 41 - October Horror Film Marathon 2017 "Clown"

    With Jigsaw looming on the horizon, Danny and Jake attempt to cleanse their palate by watching any other horror film for this year's October marathon.

    For this episode, the guys got a listener suggestion for Jon Watts' Clown, which they happily accepted to talk schlubbily about (although they definitely got side-tracked in this mini-episode with some other topics).

    Hopefully the Saw films haven't melted our brains to the point that we can no longer talk coherently about films. You be the judge.
