Episode 41: Is Last Action Hero movie magic or a bad act?
Hello nomads, and we have to ask, anyone who hasn't seen Last Action Hero is making a big mistake. Fun fact, the director of Die Hard, Hunt for Red October and Predator, John McTiernan, also directed this film. This random action-comedy-parody that starred Arnold Schwarzenegger was probably missed by many, but we'd recommend giving this movie a chance. If you are a fan of the action movies from the 80's and 90's, you're gonna love this.
Safe travels, nomads.
Episode 40: We've got a Parasite, the good kind
Hello nomads, welcome to our discussion of the fantastic movie, Parasite. It was written and directed by Bong Joon-Ho back in 2019 and what a ride this film is. Both Eric and Dave hadn't seen the movie before so we kick things off with capturing their reaction, then we get into the plot and the characters. Wasn't that second half of the movie insane?! What was the plan for the Kim's? Who is the parasite, the Kim's or the Park's?
Safe travels, nomads.
Respect!
Episode 39: The beautiful mystery of Firewatch
Hello nomads and welcome to our discussion about one of our favorite indie games from back in 2016, Firewatch. Firewatch is a fairly short game that takes 4-5 hours to play, and it was made by a super talented, yet small team, Camp Santo. This game has great music, fantastic art direction, great acting, and an unforgettable story. We highly suggest you play the game before listening to this show.
Poor Henry, maybe we'll meet you and Delilah once again if they ever make the film adaption. Or maybe this story is best left to be a short, sweet, and mysterious little game that made everyone escape their life for a couple hours.
Safe travels, nomads.

The Book of Boba Fett: Chapter 7 Quick Review
Hello nomads and here we are, the final episode of The Book of Boba Fett. So what did you think about chapter 7? Did it deliver on expectations? Did you get enough Boba Fett in this one? What happens next? Also, how bad ass is Boba Fett riding a Rancor with one hand?!
We're a little mixed on this one, but overall we enjoyed the episode as well as the first season for this iconic character. It's always a sad thing when a Star Wars show ends, but we have Kenobi, Ahsoka, and The Mandalorian Season 3 to look forward to.
Safe travels nomads, and may the force be with you.

Episode 38: Should the Blade Runner movies be renowned or retired?
Hello nomads, and welcome to our conversation about two movies. That's right, we watched both Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049 together for this episode. While the first film may have been a box office flop originally, it did gain a cult following over time, and arguably has one of the best sequels in sci-fi. What makes these movies so influential? What does it mean to be human? And why is Deckard kind of a jerk for a protagonist?
Also, check out the fun music game we play at the end of the episode.

The Book of Boba Fett: Chapter 6 Quick Review
Hello nomads and what an episode we just had, eh? Sure it was full of fan service, but everything we saw was fine by us.

We got to see a bunch of Luke Skywalker, along with Grogu, Ahsoka, and R2-D2. And we're introduced to a mysterious bounty hunter from the Clone Wars series. So much happened, so much to unpack. Let's get into it!
Safe travels, nomads.
Episode 37: Are exclusives a good thing?
Hello nomads and we have an exclusive episode for you. By which, we mean we're talking exclusives and whether they are good or not for the consumer. Sure there is a business side of it. Sure exclusives drive competition. But we're entering a new era where we're seeing massive companies like Disney and Microsoft buying other fairly large IPs.
What do you think about exclusives? Do you think they are a good thing or a bad thing?
Safe travels, nomads.
The Book of Boba Fett: Chapter 5 Quick Review

While this one is a little different than the rest of this season, the world building, seeing Mando again, we're excited to see how everything is going to come together.
This episode was so wizard.
Safe travels, nomads.
Episode 36: Portal is Still Alive

Only to find out it has a great story, bad ass villain, and possibly one of the best songs ever in a video game.
Is that cake a lie? What happened inside the test chambers of Aperture? Is GladOs still alive?
Stick around until the end for a special game Eric made called Which AI am I?
