Rise from your Grave! – Episode 77

Join Jim and A.Ron as we discuss just what the hell we’ve been up to the past four months and our latest gaming endeavors (including Settlers of Catan, Stratego, Battles of Westeros, Batman Arkham City, and of course, Skyrim).  We rant about the ludicrous situation that downloadable patches and locked save games has brought to us, talk a little bit of TV (of course), reminece about our Great War with Personal Arrogants, and read the last feedback we got on the cast way back in August.  Jim gives an update on our experiment with a “listener sourced cast”.  Finally, A.Ron fulfills a promise to donate some cash to his favorite charity, Child’s Play.

Ep 10 – Rainbow Connection

Why are so many songs about rainbows? And what’s on the other side? We did not ask those questions on this week’s episode of The Because Show, but we asked plenty of other questions. Like, did you know The Muppet Movie has it’s own nail polish collection? Awesome. The colors are gorgeous and the names…

207 – “Pretty Much Dead Already”

Turns out that the midseason finale went out with a bang.  Several dozen, actually!  Before we get into the recap, we consider an article from The Atlantic on five ways The Walking Dead can be improved.  It’s pretty good, even if you think The Walking Dead is just fine as is. Then we break down…

Walking Dead Review – 207 – “Pretty Much Dead Already”

An unequivocably excellent episode to cap the mid-season off.  Now, of course the same things that drive me crazy about certain characters are still driving me crazy, but this episode went and took those “bugs” and made them “features”, to use programming parlance. What I mean by that is that negative character traits, which up…

Walking Dead Review – 206 – “Secrets”

Well, this is the episode where this ridiculous show roped me into another season of watching.  Unless they drop the ball really badly, like, say, crash two 737’s into each other over Herschel’s farm, I’m in. There was a lot of silly stuff, to be sure, and I think we should have been at this…
