weekly font posted:Season 1 has the Tony Todd episode iirc and that one whips. I know theres lists of which episodes to watch but I’d recommend anyone just throw it on and settle in to episodes that grab you. Show good. I even like the Doggett years. Tony Todd is in the episode 'Sleepless' which is a season 2 episode. Its pretty good and it introduces Krycek (I think). And yeah, the Doggett season have some really great stuff too. The mythology starts to stretch thin by season 5 and the main conspiracy is pretty wrapped up by the middle of season 6, so the 'new' mythology of the 6th extinction and super soldiers isn't nearly as compelling as the colonization stuff. But i love X-files so much and there are a lot of monster of the week episodes that rule all the way through the entire show (yes, even season 10 and 11). I sort of miss shows that had actual episodes. Like, you can throw on Bad Blood or Clyde Buckman's Final Repose or Humbug for X-Files and they still rule even if you haven't seen everything before or after. Try doing that with most any modern show and all your doing is watching an hour of a 8-10 hour long movie.

I was mainly making the point that the X-Files is sort of like TNG that if you're already gun shy just sitting down and watching them in order isn't necessary the best approach. That said if you die and haven't watched like 100 hours of 90s tv even if it's a good show you'll probably be fine.

I had to watch that poo poo cause Michael Keaton as Batman….i just had to see it. Not in theaters or anything like that, just streamed it on hbo max. It’s terrible and all the Michael Keaton parts are bad and kinda just embarrassing

The Flash is painful to watch. Keaton’s scenes must’ve been humiliating to film for him.

The movie absolutely should have been scrapped the moment somebody suggested MODOK. He exists for the marvel Vs capcom games and cartoons, you can't stretch a guy's face over a 3d model and call it good.

Surely Modok would be the ideal character for a lot of puppet work, he's meant to be a gross mutant anyway. The technology for a live action modok already existed in the 1990s.

The guys nailed it when they said Modok should be a Dick Tracy looking thing. He's a big craggy-faced freak with eye bags and stuff, not a relatively normal-looking face stretched out.

MODOK would be cool as hell if they had leaned into the body horror/uneasiness of his appearance and made him actually unhinged and maniacal. Instead it was just a blurry bitmap of Stoll's face stretched over a wireframe.

They could have done it a bunch of ways that actually work good but they decided to go the route of grinding their CGI studios to dust instead and now they have one movie coming out this year and nothing slated for who knows how long. I like how it took a couple years of movies tanking to make them re assess their decisions.

I just looked up a picture of modok from this movie after listening to the review and are you loving kidding me? I guess I didn't expect it to be, literally, the dude's face stretched over a wireframe.

I guess I didn't expect it to be, literally, the dude's face stretched over a wireframe. It was literally just that. And looks even worse in motion. It was shocking. I almost never root for a movie to fail (because why would I give a poo poo?), but I was glad when Ant-Man 3 did. A series of bad choices were made, and Marvel really needed to know they were the wrong ones. thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 16:14 on Jan 10, 2024 |

 The phone lines and email are open again for Listener Request Month through January 31st at 11:59pm ESTUsual rules, etc. apply. TOS is off the table for the Nexus because they're nearly done. Strange New Worlds is an option instead.

If you change nothing else, bam, you just got back half a star.

I'm finally going through the Nexus because I'm watching ToS for the first time and they can either be the funniest or most frustrating things to listen to depending on how much the guys actually paid attention to the episode.

I know not everyone in here liked it, but I miss Bones being a fan of "classical music" like Kid Rock and the Beastie Boys. "Ya gotta study the Classics, Jim Boy. I say, a Bawitdaba, da bang, da dang diggy diggy diggy, said the boogie, said up jump the boogie."

I love the guys, but the main reason I stopped doing Patreon is because of how bad "The Nexus" always was to me. Just one or two jokes, over and over.

Yeah I dunno, the Bones stuff is entertaining most of the time, it's moreso when they miss very clear character motivation or a whole chunk of plot because they apparently walked away from the TV for 10 minutes without pausing. Or just make up dialogue that didn't happen.

I have come to accept that due to the unabashed  usage they are totally going to miss things and one can only hope one of the 4 were paying attention when another isn't.

Submitted, Sorcerer into the WLM pocket. I'm probably gunna watch a couple cartoons here in a few and see if there's anything I'd toss the boys way. I'm kinda thinking of giving them something good like Cowboy Bebops "Mushroom Samba". I think they'd have a good time with that.
