Total Entertainment Forever

Today we're joined by our Super Producer John to discuss a topic we seldom touch on- video games. On the docket include unreasonable fan expectations, the joys of patching, and the plight of DLCs.

Be sure to check out John on YouTube at Planned Obsolescence for vintage tech & gaming discussion!

Yeah, we're thinkin' we're back. In this episode the boys touch on the bombastic John Wick trilogy (don't worry, we give you plenty of warning before the spoilers come up). We're also talkin' trailers, gators, and new rap releases.

Fear not, Total Entertainment Forever is back! Don't worry, we missed you too. This episode we are again forced to touch on the Sonic movie and the surrounding drama (note: this segment was recorded separately from the rest of the episode [and prior to the announcement the film was being pushed back] and as a result sounds slightly rougher), a horror movie that stands in a league of its own in 1977's House, and the new Vampire Weekend album! We also introduce a new segment that surely will not be dropped after a single episode.

This week we add to the seemingly unending flow of Avengers: Endgame discourse! We also touch on the shifting roles of film and television as mediums and why you can blame capitalism for the dearth of new ideas in Hollywood.

Audio on this one is a little rough (even more so than usual) but the content is hotter than the Notre Dame Cathedral was. We talk about one of the best movies of the aughts- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind- and it's idiosyncratic writer's other works. Also listen (and cringe?) as we attempt to wax philosophical about the over-saturation of irony in our culture, relationships, and the future of Star Wars.

Had to edit out about 20 minutes worth of sniffles from this one, but in between all that we have a lively discussion about 2001 performance art masterwork Freddy Got Fingered and the inner workings of it's creator- Tom Green. Also discussed are Alan Moore's successful attempts at writing classic graphic novels and his failed attempts at bringing about the end times, Canada's new greatest cowboy crooner, and some tasty power pop jams.

 

Correction: Alan Moore's tome of the apocalypse, Jerusalem, actually clocks in at around 1200 pages.

Closing song was Dead of Night by Orville Peck

Sorry for the delay, folks, but we're back with a doozy! We finally indulge a recent flick as we ramble about Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and the state of comic book movies as a whole. Also included to balance out our enjoyment of the movie is a deep dive into one of the more bleak aspects of modern pop culture- the last decade of Weezer's discography. 

intro, as always, is A.D.D. by Angel Du$t

A bit of a shift in format thia week, folks. This time the dynamic duo tackle a veritable grab bag of topics, ranting and rambling about Jack Nicholson's masterful performance(s) in Mars Attacks, how Borat & Sacha Baron Cohen are braver than any US Marine, a couple of true crime stories, and some music to throw on a mix CD for the goth apple of your eye.

intro tune is A.D.D. by Angel Du$t

Loaded episode this week- packed with uninformed & reluctant Academy Awards talk, Christian Bale's insistence on dying for his craft, and a deep dive into Shakespeare adaptations and the work of the Shakespeare of our times- Baz Luhrmann.

No nerds or Anti-Stratfordians admitted.

The TEF boys discuss the mathematics of sexual fluidity, the utterly joyless world of Harmony Korine films, & the somehow even more joyless experience of working with Mike Myers.

P.S. take a drink for extra syllable Nick adds to the word "unadulterated"
