Episode 191: Asgardians of the Galaxy

Hello and welcome back!  And this week we actually have some news for you all!  But first we give you our streaming review of The BFG.  Once that Giant has fallen we then get to dive head long into the week of Disney.  It all begins with the first trailer for Thor Ragnarok and follows with the first trailers for Star Wars the Last Jedi and Battlefront 2. Lastly we wrap everything up with answers from this week's Podquestion of what TV show should Hammer watch next.

This week's recommendation was The BFG on Netflix.  While I fondly remember the book, Bat had never even heard of it.  But with the Nostalgia aside we took a leap and sat down for a rather mediocre ride.  You wouldn't have guessed this was a Steven Spielberg movie if you hadn't seen his name on the trailer.  While we both enjoyed the Giants we really couldn't invest ourselves into the human characters.  Over all Bat felt bored and I felt a little let down.  It's not a terrible movie but it also isn't a good one.  We both gave this a thumbs down with 2/5 for Bat and a 3/5 for me. 

This week's recommendation is from one of our dear listeners.  Kristi wants us to watch 
Backcountry.  While we had no clue what it is we know that she hasn't steered us wrong yet.  I took a peak at the trailer and have a feeling this one is going to make me jump.  Feel free to watch this one with us on Netflix.

Episode 190: Almost There

Hello and welcome back!  For this week's show we bring you ... not a lot.  Seriously it's been a slow week.  So we talk about our surprisingly not bad streaming review of Rachet and Clank and dig into what we look for in the next iterations of consoles. Lastly we wrap everything up with answers from this week's Podquestion of what anime you wanted to see made into a live action movie.

For this week's recommendation Bat had us watch Ratchet and Clank on Netflix. We both kept hearing a lot of backlash regarding how bad this movie was.  But after seeing it ourselves we're not sure what they're talking about.  This movie really captured the spirit of the characters from the game and gave a fun and fleshed out world for our heroes to explore.  It was cheesy and silly but over all it was entertaining and had some heart to it.  Graphically speaking it may not be the most impressive out there but it doesn't disappoint either.  We both gave it a solid 3/5 and recommend giving it a watch, especially  with your young ones.

 

This week's recommendation is my choice and I'm having us watch The BFG on Netflix.  This one snuck in and out of theaters and we're going to find out why.  Well, maybe we will.

Episode 189: Ghost in the Shell Is a Good Example of Why You Shouldn't Judge a Movie Before Seeing It

Hello and welcome back!  For this week's show we bring you our spoiler free and spoiler filled review of Ghost in the Shell.  Sorry for the long title but if you listen to our spoiler free review, or see the movie yourself, I think you'll understand the long ass title and why it fits this movie.  We review our streaming movie, Keanu and deep dive into nerd news including the trailer to IT along with some good 'oll free shit good shit. Lastly we wrap everything up with answers from this week's Podquestion of what was your favorite childhood live action show.  Oh yeah, and go ahead and steal our T-shirt idea... but send us 2 shirts please.  #BigItFan #NotABigItFan 

This week's recommendation of Keanu was my choice... and I kind of regret it.  Bat and I both agreed that this was a bad movie.  I can't tell you exactly what I was expecting but it wasn't this movie.  For a comedy, neither of us could remember a single time we laughed.  The best way I could put it was that this seemed like a silly 3-5 minute skit that shouldn't have been expanded into a full length movie.  We both gave it a 2/5 and highly recommend you skip this one and save yourself a little over an hour and a half.

 

This week's recommendation is Bat's choice and he wants us to watch Ratchet and Clank on Netflix.  We both have heard pretty negative reviews but are looking forward to giving it a shot.  You cam find this one on Netflix.
