Aliens

Newt is the best character in my opinion from the thumbs up, the empty look in the beginning, and finally the salute. She was great. Also, I think Ripley was a true heroine in this movie with intention rather than just being lucky and in the right place at the right time.

Alien Covenant

I think that this movie and Prometheus were not tied to the future Aliens movies, you'd get so much more enjoyment out of them. This was an entertaining, scary, creeping, and beautiful movie, but the story relies so much more on other information and fill in the blanks that are not explained

Alien Romulus

Before I watched this, I was at Spec's getting a new bottle of Scotch, and the sales rep I was talking to made a good comment about this movie. It is a really nice blend of [[Alien]] and [[Aliens]] in the mix of horror vs. action.

Prometheus

You have to know that this is a prequel to really understand some of the significance of what you are watching. However, this story still leads to some great questions, cliffhangers, and story that makes you want to go watch the others. That is what a movie should do.

Alien Resurrection

Alien Resurrection

This movie is for sure a mess. The jump forward of 200 years, then somehow they found enough genetic material to clone Ripley and separate it from the Queen. Speaking of dumb things, the plot holes that are covered with one line.

Alien3

Also, just looking at the poster, the tagline "3 time the suspense, 3 times danger, 3 times the terror" doesn't make sense to the movie. There isn't 3 of anything really. Maybe because it was 8 years or so in between movies they could make that claim, but I don't think so.

Ghost Recon Wildlands and Breakpoint

Ghost Recon Wildlands and Breakpoint

What kills both of these games is the size of the map. Wildlands already felt big being that it is 625 sq kilometers, but Breakpoint is outrageously large at 2500 sq kilometers. While there is a ton of different vehicles to use from planes, helicopters, motorcycles, and a verity of other

Starfield

If it were my first playthrough of the game, this DLC would have been great additional content. However, it being a year after the initial release, it just seems phoned in. Also, the fact that it doesn't extend beyond the planet is just a waste especially since they point out that it could.

Cyberpunk 2077

This game delivers everything you want from a gripping single-player experience—intense combat, stunning visuals, and characters you’ll either love or loathe. The world is gritty yet beautiful, with fluid, visceral combat and sound design that pulls you into its chaotic cityscape.

The Acolyte

IMDB gave this a 3.5, IGN a 6/10, and Rotten Tomatoes an 80%. Where this show excels is the fighting. There are multiple outstanding fight scenes that are so cool. Where this show fails is the acting and the poorly written characters.

Ep 3 - Assassin's Creed Shadows... Ubisoft's Jesus?

Ep 3 - Assassin's Creed Shadows... Ubisoft's Jesus?

Assassin’s Creed is my favorite video game series of all time and with the release of AC Shadows coming up and now being officially delayed, we discuss what the AC series has done right, wrong, or just screwed up entirely while discussing whether AC shadows will renew the AC series.

Star Wars Outlaws

Star Wars Outlaws

This game had so much potential that it could have been good. With beautiful scenery, sound design, and some great NPC companion-esq characters it could have easily been a 30 hours heist game. Ubisoft's and Massive's ambition was just outweighed by wanting to do quantity rather than quality.

Ep 2 - Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

Ep 2 - Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

All three of us love Star Wars. So why not start off our first movie conversation with our love and hate of the Skywalker Saga. There are so many things that this movies series did for the industry and so many things that didn't go over well. Well between these things, we talk about the movies ...

John Wick 3

Since I am rewatching these, I really think the High Table is more afraid of John than we think and the story that is mentioned in John Wick about being a man of focus is something they fear. We do see that fear in John Wick Chapter 4.

John Wick 2

This movie is basically part 5 and 6 of the first movie. On it's own, it doesn't have the same level of punch to the story or the pacing that was in the first movie.

John Wick

This movie set a tone for most action movies that no one realized needed a change. We have made fun of movies that never reload, but this movie made realistic gun fights something that people look forward to. The level of dedication that the cast put into is so high.

Ep 1 - Destiny: Is it still good? Is it an MMO?

Ep 1 - Destiny: Is it still good? Is it an MMO?

With Sam being a devoted Destiny player, Carter and I are jumping back in, we wanted to kick off this new show with something we are all familiar with. We discuss gameplay, story, and where Destiny is going since Activision and Bungie are having some difficulties. While discussing Destiny ...

Destiny 2

Because of this and us plus over friends in the future playing this game, I want to like it. I really do. I have fond memories playing this game. However, having jumped in with the release of The Final Shape, the story is completely pointless now.

Elden Ring

The most frustratingly light story telling for a game that is so f***** difficult, but what they don't tell you is that you are a rubber ducky to the bad guys that bring bats and have a home run contest with you across the map.

Crash Test Girl

Crash Test Girl

Kari tells a crazy story about how her life choices made her the weird, spunky, and highly intelligent co-host of MythBusters. A part of the "triplets" that had such great chemistry that their departure from the show was one of the saddest parts of it ending.

Crimson Tide

First off, what a great cast. I mean it was 1995 and a lot of these people were either in their prime or just starting their careers and I don't remember it being talked about a lot. Some where not as strong as others, but when you are surrounded by heavy hitters, someone isn't going to shine.

The Martian

Andy Weir is masterful in his first novel that writes in small segments of immense imagery. I don't know of another book that is told in a log type format. While this is true, for a new reader, that it can be difficult to read and get into. I know, I first read it while stationed overseas.

Endurance

Scott Kelly provides a monotoned story whose content is what keeps you going. An incredible story of someone who really didn't know what to do until they were already in college. Kelly's story pacing is outstanding and the stories in the past help provide some clear understanding

The Flash

The overall story is pointless. Nothing happens, all the lessons he "learns" he doesn't learn because he still meddles over and over again. However, I did enjoy the contained movie story enough that I didn't mind watching it on a plane.

Level Six

This book continues the story that was unique in the onset, but fails to continue the story in any meaningful manner. The book only provides new characters and a singular new event that sets up the third book but nothing else.
