It's finally happened. After a long series of agreements, Sol and Dave have finally found a topic they disagree vehemently about, and of course it would be Star Wars: The Last Jedi. There seem to be no easy lines to draw among the many differing opinions about this movie as casual and hardcore fans of the series alike can't seem to agree about this movie. What is it that sets the guys' views against each other, and can they even figure out a way to express it in the midst of their disagreements? Listen to find out!

For the first time in a long time (thanks to a generous mutual friend!), Dave and Sol have a game in common to discuss: Nintendo's blockbuster hit, Super Mario Odyssey. The game has received almost universal praise, and now it's time for the guys to weigh in. From the view of one man with extensive experience with Mario (Dave), and another more familiar with the platformers of the PS/PS2 (Sol), how would they rate what many have called the best 3D Mario game ever made?

On this episode, Sol and Dave discuss a pair of burning questions that have been rolling around in their minds for some time: how is the sudden shift towards "open world" games affecting the gaming scene and game design, and if (or perhaps when) the comic book movie bubble is set to burst.  Both of these questions were originally submitted by Dave and Sol to the "Brothering Around" podcast. If you'd like to check out their takes on these questions, you can find their video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4joX2TzILw. Or you can find a more complete listing of their work on their website: http://www.kamidahobo.com. Fair warning, they use stronger language than you may be used to with us!

On this episode, Sol and Dave tackle Disney's 2016 live-action/CG remake of the beloved classic: The Jungle Book. And boy do they tackle hard. In the mid 2010's, Disney decided it would be super cool and totally not lazy or uncreative at all to remake all of their most beloved animated features as live action films, and The Jungle Book was one of the more hyped examples. The critics loved it, but what do the guys think of this treatment of one of their all-time favorite Disney films?

This week, Dave and Sol excitedly jump head first into one of their favorite movies: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. The movie may have technically been a box-office bomb, but it remains a cult classic that introduced thousands to Bryan Lee O'Malley's beloved graphic novel series turned multimedia franchise.  How well did the movie represent the books (from the perspective of people who saw the movie first and love both), and what is it that makes Scott Pilgrim stand out from your typical "nerd culture" graphic novel?

In honor (?) of the seventh anniversary of its release, Dave and Sol revisit a strange little piece of video game history: Epic Mickey.  This Wii-exclusive title was supposed to herald the beginning of Disney's major commitment to the video gaming scene.  Instead, it led almost directly to the shuttering of its development studio. What exactly went wrong, and how do the guys feel today about this strangely nostalgic piece of their past?

On the eve of the release of Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Sol and Dave return to Pokémon Sun and Moon, the games that kicked off the 7th generation of Pokémon. Gen 7 was undoubtedly one of the biggest shakeups in the history of the series. What worked and what didn't? And what did the guys think overall about the latest direction of the Pokémon franchise?

For their tenth episode, Dave and Sol decide to do something a little different: watch and review a movie that neither has ever seen before! Namely, "My Neighbor Totoro." The guys have always been interested in watching more Studio Ghibli films, so the classic that gave the company its mascot seems like a perfect fit. What are the differences between traditional "western" and "eastern" movie storytelling, and how do the guys feel like it works in this movie specifically?

It's finally time.  Following episode after episode of constant ribbing, Sol and Dave finally tackle Dreamworks' The Road to El Dorado head on.  Have the constant complaints from their audience and a fresh viewing helped to change the guys' views on this quirky animated film?  Or are things just as bad as they remember from before?  Spoiler: prepare for some serious ranting.

As if they hadn't talked about Final Fantasy X enough, the guys (specifically Dave) felt like they left some things yet unsaid in their longest episode to date. In this short side episode, Dave (with the assist from Sol) talks about the often negative religious imagery in FFX and what it means for Christians to react to and redeem this and other video games.
