This week, the Time Pals get into a roundtable discussion and delve into Naughty Dog's acclaimed game, The Last of Us, and its recent adaptation into a television series.Joining us is author/writer, film school student, and host of the upcoming "Something Offensive Podcast", Britt McKay. Together, we explore the emotional impact of the game and the artistic liberties taken in the show. If the Clickers don't get them, the Time Pals themselves WILL!

This week the Time Pals finally did it—We finished fixing the rest of the Academy’s gross mistakes—and for the surprisingly competitive decade of 2010 to 2020. We discuss the films that deservedly had a chance at greatness and remove the ones that Jon liked because, ya know, it's JON. Join your Time Pals as we serve praise, throw copious amounts of shade, and "Do the Oscar’s Worst one last time.Find all our links and episodes at:⁠⁠⁠⁠https://beacons.ai/timepalspodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/timepalspodcast/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@TimePalsPodcast/videos⁠⁠⁠⁠Contact Us at:⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected] us at our new home on the ⁠⁠Mayday Media Network⁠⁠ (⁠⁠⁠https://maydaymedianetwork.com/⁠⁠⁠) andbe sure to check out all our new Pals everywhere you get your podcasts#Oscars #Best Picture #movie reviews #Academy Awards #podcasts #nerdculture #timepals #timepalspodcast #maydaymedianetwork #legendarysupplements #gamers #nostalgia #throwback #podcast 00:00 Late Nights and Cheap Wine01:01 2010 Best Picture Nominees Review09:57 2011 Best Picture Nominees Review20:12 2012 Best Picture Nominees Review29:59 2013 Best Picture Nominees Review40:08 2014 Best Picture Nominees Review49:47 2015 Best Picture Nominees Review40:35 Diving into 2015-2016: Notable Nominations and Missed Opportunities42:58 2017 Oscars: A Year of Surprises and Controversies48:51 2018: The Year of Horror and Unique Storytelling01:00:17 2019: A Competitive Year with Diverse Themes01:15:57 Conclusion: The Evolution of Cinema and Awards

The Time Pals wrap up their retrospective on the early 2000’s Best Picture winners and should-have-won-ers with special guest “Hollywood Fringe Legend” Veronica Matthews. The fight to correct past Academy mistakes continues! Sould Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby be acknowledged for its comedic impact or is Jon Powell so woefully wrong? Where the eff is The Last King of Scotland or The Dark Knight? And how the heck did Nickell end up with twenty nominees?Find all our links and episodes at:⁠⁠⁠⁠https://beacons.ai/timepalspodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/timepalspodcast/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@TimePalsPodcast/videos⁠⁠⁠⁠Contact Us at:⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected] us at our new home on the ⁠⁠MaydayMedia Network⁠⁠ (⁠⁠⁠https://maydaymedianetwork.com/⁠⁠⁠) and be sure to check out all our new Pals everywhere you get your podcastsShadoSpartan's newest retro deep dives can be found here:⁠https://www.youtube.com/@ShadoSpartan44⁠Veronica Matthews work from StageCrafts and Theatre Unleased can be found here:⁠https://www.youtube.com/live/scsWC1Q02II?si=jC3gAwwkyy1QkCkr⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/live/17pzC6uVr7k?si=vPSVL7k90vaUXOcZ⁠#podcasts #nerdculture #timepals #timepalspodcast#maydaymedianetwork #legendarysupplements #gamers #nostalgia #throwback #podcast  #Academy Awards #Oscars #Best Picture #2000s films #filmanalysis #cinematic debates #Hollywood Fringe #Veronica Matthews

Join co-hosts Mike Underscore, ShadoSpartan, Jon Powell, and Nickell as they venture through a special two-part episode through the Academy’s most dubious decisions, fixes film history’s wrongs, and hands the gold statues to the movies that truly deserved them.
Joining the Time Pals is special guest and close friend of Nickell, “Hollywood Fringe Legend” Veronica Matthews. Matthews credits include writing, directing, and performing in multiple stage and theater shows, and her work in the transgender community has been highly praised and brings a much-needed extra voice to keep Jon Powell in line.

Would you replace American Beauty with Man on theMoon? Are you the kind of person to dropkick Driving Miss Daisy for Batman? Are you a Thin Red Line apologist or are you wrong? Join us as we re-write Oscar history and do what our parents’generation didn’t have the guts to do: Nominate Natural Born Killers. Got a movie you think deserved the gold? Let us know!

This week the Pals talk about the TV shows that were cancelled too soon. Shows that didn't get the following from fans, or the treatment from the network execs that they deserved. From 1 season wonders like Terriers to shows that had 3 or even 4 seasons like Deadwood. We talk about what we liked, what we didn't, and what could have been.Wanna play along?

How would you answer the questions like, “John Candy vs Chris Farley: Pick one and the other’s entire catalogue disappears forever!”, “If you have just enough time to watch one last movie before you die (hopefully going out in a hail of bullets like John Dillinger) what would it be?”, and “If you could choose five liquids to shoot from your fingers what would they be?” Join the Time Pals for the follow-up to “The Nickell Vicinity” with “The Nickell Velocity 2: 2 Nickell 2 Furious!” Wanna play along?
