We’ve gone rogue. David, Brent, TJ, and I reminisce about the podcast. There’s no Watchlist, Talk of Fame, or other branding gimmick. Just us talking about our little podcast. It’s a neat feeling getting to 100 episodes of this weird thing. Even if this goes completely unlistened to, I for one had a great time recording #100.
Thanks for hanging with us. See you all at number 200!
TJ, Brent, and Chris talk about what they’ve seen including Solo: A Star Wars Story and the Survivor finale! Be warned – the Richard Hatch cameo in Solo will be discussed at length…
Chris: Dear White People (:41), Evil Genius (2:01), God of War (3:14), Solo: A Star Wars Story (10:44)
TJ: The Night of the Hunter (26:12), Game Night (26:32), Avengers: Infinity War (27:06)
Brent: Ron Howard Films (Beautiful Mind, Apollo 13, Angels & Demons, The DaVinci Code, Rush, Solo: A Star Wars Story) (34:34), Lord of the Rings Trilogy (38:26)
Reality Roundup: Survivor: Ghost Island (40:30)
Warning: Some mild language. Some language is picante.
The Talk of Fame dips its toes into the anime waters, as Brent, Chris, and TJ decide whether the seminal film from Katsuhiro Otomo deserves entry.
What do you think? Should Akira be worshiped by those of us who survive, or should we transport it to another dimension where its unstopping growth as a cult classic can do no more harm?
*No gargantuan hallucinatory teddy bears were harmed in the taping of this episode.

Just kidding – there’s no oversight – but we do talk about Undercover Boss for a WHILE. Also Survivor deep dive and News!
Also, apologies to Aaron Bleyaert. We called you Blair for 5 minutes.
