I'd rather just have a book podcast so they can consume the actually good stuff.

So for XCom episode 2, did Abby play off-screen before Alex had his chance? Or was that recap from the first episode and I just forget all of it already?

That would certainly get me to watch the later ones that I never got around to.
I went through the Fast and the Furious franchise pretty quickly in the past few days listening to their commentary. Favorite moment was definitely in 5 when The Rock starts murdering people with his bare hands and the following happens on the commentary:
Vinny: Wait - Uh-Wha...
Austin: What? What's wrong?
Vinny: Oh, I'm sorry, I was confused, OK.
Austin: What's up?
Vinny: Nothing.
Austin: You good?
Vinny: I'm good now.

Looks like you missed one episode(or probably forgot all about it).

I haven't seen Dunkirk, but it didn't seem like much of a spoiler. Dan said "character name" is a really bad guy, and I honestly don't even remember the name that he said.

It's right near the end, Dan gets worked up about a certain actor in the movie and Vinny just stops him right there. It's very brief.

Don't worry, PAX will make sure we get weeks of nothing but a mediocre recap of the week's bombcast in filmed infront of a live audience form, and some terrible questions from the audience, then weeks of " we have to put the office back together"

So was there a final consensus on whether the showtime/hulu one is the right Battle Royale? It says 2000 at the start, and other ones I tried said 2001

If the runtime is 1 hour 54 minutes, it is the same version that they are watching. If it is longer than that then it is the extended cut.
Sounds like you watched the prologue, but not episode 1.
It's episode 0s all the way down.

Glad to hear about 0. I wound up getting it during a sale a month or two back, so I'll give it a shot at some point after finishing this one. (Which will probably be pretty soon; even though there are aspects that really bug me, it's impossible to deny that it's quickly become a page-turner.)

Ahh jealous, that sounds awesome right now haha. What beer? Also what is AoM?

Was there a premium announcement today or is that some other time this week?

idk if you know of this one but this is what I drank.
I'm from the Midwest, so craft beer is king.
AoM is Agents of Mayhem, Volition's new IP that releases tonight/Tuesday morning.
I did the Shudder trial, cancelled after I watched it. Should work out well. They do need your card info but as long as I don't get charged, I had no issue using it.Finally a F&F for a film I have and it's the wrong version.With the rapid pace people die I can't even believe a shorter version of the film is out there.
So if I go through with the Shudder trial I should be good to go, yeah?

Probably moved since we didn't see anything yet but it should've been today based on what Rorie said at the end of UPF.

Also from the Midwest but haven't heard of that brewery before... Gonna have to check if we get it here, thanks! Definitely like IPA's (and most other craft beer haha)
Oh duh, for some reason I thought you meant some giant bomb series and I thought there was one I hasn't heard of! Hopefully that's fun, enjoy the days off!
I was attempting to play salmon run with some friends but my internet decided to die multiple times (apparently my area is in an outage, great) so now working on getting stars 119 and 120 in Mario galaxy 2! Really glad I decided to play this (was inspired by SMS to play the only mainline Mario I hadn't).

0 is cool but it still ultimately felt... unneeded? Unless you're really invested into the series, then it's a pretty good romp.
If you're just in a general VN kick though, give house in fata morgana a look, I'm especially curious about this seeing how you responded with nier.

Are we getting Heartache Episode 4 on Tuesday?
Thanks. Might see if I can find that drink as well. I'm not a drinker but I don't mind trying stuff out.

alright you fuckers, I just made it to the Bunker in my second playthrough of Nier and I'm officially intrigued
It's probably a once a week series, we only probably got 2 so close last week cause of them missing the week before.

Holy shit, I knew Takeshi looked familiar.
I FUCKING LOVED MXC.
MXC being the Americanized version of Takeshi's Castle.
That's badass.

It's really hard to beat the last 30 minutes of Fast and Furious Six, where Dan's mind is just constantly exploding like the sun rising on Crematoria.

Yeah, I first knew of Takeshi Kitano from Takeshi's Castle as well. Back in the 90's that shit used to air everyday at 8 or so am in the morning on our local TV station, it was huge. The entire thing was dubbed and commentated on in Arabic.
Which reminds me of Terence Hill & Bud Spencer. Totally unrelated but for some reason they were HUGE back in the day in my country as well as Europe(most notably Germany & Italy) than NA for some reason.

Other recommendations. Hana-Bi, Violent Cop, The Outrage Trilogy(the third film is releasing in October), Brother.etc He has a ton of fantastic films.

lmao, we took the entire thing too seriously while NA took it too over the top. Fascinating contrasts.

That was from THIS year!? I would've thought last year. Awesome moment. Wish they'd try to beat it again (they didn't, right?).
Also, Alex's deep laughs are the best thing. He genuinely loses it during these moments.

Abby: what is that sound, sounds like someone eating chips.
Ben: I'm cleaning up my play zone so I have a focused mind.

I still cant believe that didnt turn into a proper series.
There is still time, Dan. You came through with Metal Gear Rising for me. Make this happen.

King Arthur is a fun flick
I should stop reading for the night but I'm still largely into this Twin Peaks book. I just wish it was a lot less about
I kinda loved 0, personally? It's not necessary to the original (though I have to imagine the remake of it will probably set up things like Maho existing more) and definitely has some flaws, but it's a good story in its own right, has come new characters (like, again, Maho) that fit in excellently, and lets you spend some time with the old characters in a story that actually uses them well rather than being something that's purely an epilogue or fan-disc like some other games would (and, uh, apparently like the other S;G games mostly did).
I should say Fata Morgana's far better but Fata Morgana is better than most things, and if you already own 0...
one of the old men from season 2 apparently being someone who investigated UFOs for the air force for some reason?? I wanna get back to the cheesy backstory/intriguing retconning already.

It looked somewhat interesting. I liked Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes movies and this seemed to have a somewhat similar tone/style. I keep hearing of plans for a third one.
Speaking of Sherlock Holmes, it'll be pretty funny to see Robert Downey, Jr. and Benedict Cumberbatch share the screen in Avengers: Infinity War.
