After taking in five figures a month on Patreon. "Breeding Season," a sex game that billed itself as “Harvest Moon meets Hentai,” was one of the biggest projects funded ever. Details are murky, but it seems the former art director on the project jumped ship to start his own game, crippling Breeding Season and denying a lot of people of that sweet, sweet porn. We weigh in on this news, but don't actualyl get to see any hentai for ourselves...

An animator and voice actor, Clay Martin Croker is best known for having provided the voices of Zorak and Moltar on the animated series Space Ghost Coast to Coast, replacing Don Messick, who originally voiced the characters in the 1960s series Space Ghost. One of the original animators for Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, he helped make the network what it is today. Croker served as an animator for Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and its 2007 feature film adaption Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters. Fans will know him as the voices of Dr. Weird and Steve. Croker abruptly died in his home. We recount how his work effected us and talk about some of our favorite pieces.

JM and Pat, both Boston natives, give a complete review of BET's "The New Edition Story" miniseries, which tells the tale of five childhood friends from Roxbury, Massachusetts, who form a singing group to win local talent shows and ultimately become the legendary R&B group. positive opinions all around, The New Edition Story easily stands up to such classic biopics as 1998's The Temptations and 1992's The Jacksons: An American Dream.

The New Edition Story (2017) JM and Pat's TV review

There were memories unearthed and guilty pleasures exposed as Pat reveals how much he knew about the original Power Rangers without realizing it. There was nearly a full-fledged nerd-out here. in the midst of which came (eventually) a fair assessment of 2017's Power Rangers, and how it compares to the television show it's based on. Five ordinary teens must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove - and the world - is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat. Chosen by destiny, our heroes quickly discover they are the only ones who can save the planet. But to do so, they will have to overcome their real-life issues and before it's too late, band together as the Power Rangers. Is the adaptation faithful? Was it deserving of the claims of white-washing? Could we have a new film franchise in the works? Hmm...

Power Rangers (2017) Adam and Pat's movie review

Thumper is rhythm violence: classic rhythm-action, blistering speed, and brutal physicality. You are a space beetle. Brave the hellish void and confront your nemesis: a maniacal giant head. Play in ultra-glossy 2D or fully immersive VR. Crazy beetles racing through neon environments and all while COMPLETELY SOBER! Jonny had a solid time playing Thumper for the Nintendo Switch and VR and gives the full breakdown.

This one was a touch call. While it's not the Brendan Fraser Mummy movie, it's also not the SECOND Brendan Fraser Mummy movie. An ancient princess is awakened from her crypt beneath the desert, bringing with her malevolence grown over millennia, and terrors that defy human comprehension.

LUKE CAGE SEASON 2 sees the bulletproof man return to Harlem where some bumbaclot rudeboys wan box. Cage finna ‘it 'im inna 'im ‘ead! John Travolta's GOTTI is like if Scorsese did a bad Hype Williams impression. The stylish as hell and hard as balls platformer RIFTER dips it's foot in neon before it stomps you in the ass. With Synthwave! It's a synthwave ass-stomping. And the most Wyld of Stallyns, MARY WIDOW, comes to discuss BILL & TED'S SEXELLENT ADVENTURE. Somewhere we learn to be excellent to each other.
