As promised, this week Sol and Dave return to discuss The Incredibles 2: One of the most eagerly anticipated animated films in years. Coming from the classic that is The Incredibles, this movie has some pretty big shoes to fill and expectations to meet. How does it hold up as a movie in its own right, and can you walk away from this movie feeling satisfied even if you love the original as much as the guys (especially Dave)?

In preparation for discussing Pixar's latest release, The Incredibles 2, Dave and Sol return to what many (especially Dave) consider one of, if not the best, movie in Pixar's extremely successful history: The Incredibles.  What makes this movie stand out so much from the pack, and is watching it today still the same treat it was every time the guys have seen it in the past?

Spurred on by a sudden renewed interest in Final Fantasy Theatrythm, Sol and Dave take some time in this episode to discuss the odd world of rhythm games. Rhythm games have taken many forms and shapes from the early days of the genre until now. How have some of those games affected the guys, and where do they see the genre finding a niche in the future?

On this episode, Sol and Dave get a chance to talk about something relevant again as they somehow both made time in their schedules to see this summer's biggest blockbuster, Avengers: Infinity War, in theaters. Expectations were all over the place for this one, but it's hard to remember any movie event that had this much buildup leading up to it. How did Marvel handle the mashup of so many universes and strong characters in a single movie, and how did the movie hold up in its own right?

Back by popular demand, Dave and Sol return to video game music to discuss their top 6 VGM tracks written by western composers. Japanese composers tend to get all the spotlight with video games' roots and greater cultural impact stemming from the Land of the Rising Sun, but plenty of excellent composers with western origins have taken a crack at it as well, with some exceptional results.

This episode, Sol and Dave discuss perhaps one of the most controversial games in the Final Fantasy series in the form of Final Fantasy VIII. Coming on the heels of the series' biggest hit up to that point in the acclaimed FFVII, how did VIII try to mix things up and build off of what it had going? Did it emphasize all the best or all the worst of what the series had to offer? Listen in to hear the guys' thoughts, shaped by very different perspectives.

On this episode, Sol and Dave discuss a crucial part of their childhood: Mewtwo Strikes Back, aka, Pokemon: The First Movie. From nostalgic stories of seeing it in theatres almost 20 years ago, to all the peripheral merchandise it inspired them to partake in (especially the soundtrack filled with pop-music nonsense), the guys discuss just about every topic they can think of. Eventually begrudgingly coming around to how well (or perhaps not so well) the movie holds up today.

The guys return to Dreamworks to discuss arguably their most successful franchise in recent memory: Kung Fu Panda. It was a concept that seemed destined to fall into ridiculous kids movie obscurity, but it somehow managed to garner critical acclaim and spawn two sequels that are worth full episodes in their own right. What was it that made this film surpass expectations, and how do Dave and Sol rate it among their animated favorites?

It took nineteen episodes (for some reason), but this time Sol and Dave finally discuss a Pixar movie, taking a look at the 2007 film Ratatouille. Considered by some to be something of a black sheep of the Pixar filmography due to focusing on a topic many find off-putting (namely rats), this film happens to be one of Sol's favorite animated movies of all time. What makes him love it so much (aside from it's focus on cooking) and how does Dave feel about his partner's unrestrained love for this sometimes overlooked piece?

On this episode, Dave and Sol combine two of their biggest passions (video games and music) and run through each of their top five favorite video game music tracks. Ranging from the days of the NES all the way to the PC in 2015, their selections definitely run the gamut. Some you may recognize. Others... probably not so much, but hopefully you'll enjoy the guys taking a trip down Nostalgia Lane so you too can enjoy some of their favorite songs from video games of all time!
