Whinging Aloud

https://samjoneswrites.wordpress.com/- Whinging 'Bout Stuff, my blog!

Welcome, one and all, to the first ever episode of Whinging Aloud!

Whinging Aloud is the new podcast spin-off of my blog Whinging 'Bout Stuff, dedicated to discussing anything video game, movie, wrestling, or just general entertainment-related stuff. At this stage, I'm not sure how regular a thing this will be, it really depends on how received this episode (and the second one) are.

On this inaugural edition of Whinging Aloud, I am joined by my friend Henry Gimpel to talk about the new Ghostbusters, and more importantly, the huge kerfuffle around the new Ghostbusters. 

P.S Apologies for all the thumping and tapping noises throughout- we thought it was a good idea to slap and tap the the table my phone was on for some reason.

Whinging Aloud Episode 1- Ghostbusters Grumblings

Oh my various non-denominational religious deities! The debut of Whinging Aloud just got even sexier with a double episode whammy! In edition number 2 of Whinging Aloud, I am once again joined by my erstwhile compadre Henry Gimpel. 

This time around, we're talking about superhero movies: Batmans, Supermans, Iron Mans and more heroes that don't have "Man" somewhere in their name abound as we discuss this wildly popular trend at large and what we can expect of it going forward.

And yes, the taps and thumps make their return to: last episode of it, I swear!

Whinging Aloud Episode 2- Superhero Movies

It's back and longer than ever!

This time, Henry the Homeless returns and Abe the Perfectly Normal Dude and Stuey the Devious Greek join us to whinge about how much Suicide Squad sucks! Also, I make potentially defamatory remarks about three guys who could very easily beat the shit out of me, yay!

Whinging Aloud Episode 3- Suicide Squad: A Eulogy for DC

We're back again for another edition of Whinging Aloud! Abraham Pearson's back with Henry and I to talk terrible trailers, feels-worthy animation, and the difference between a zither and a shamisen. 

And of course, food sex. No discussion's complete without it!



Whinging Aloud Episode 4- Animated Stuff

Deus Ex Mankind Divided review: https://filmgamesetc.com/deus-ex-mankind-divided-2016-ps4-review-2/

Henry and I are back in action, and we're joined by special new friend Andrew Butler. Today's topic of conversation: tone.

Note: This turned out to be a little more broad-spectrum than initially anticipated, and I feel like we might not have covered this particular topic the best way we could have, so expect something else on this down the line, maybe in a more specific context, like a case study.

Until then, hopefully this will be enough to tide you over. Enjoy!

Whinging Aloud Episode 5- Dronin' 'Bout Tone

This time on Whinging Aloud, Henry and I tackle everyone's favourite subject, censorship!

Also, in case you missed it, here's a list of Pokemon I hate: http://gamertime.co.uk/top-ten-worst-pokemon-ever/

Whinging Aloud Episode 6- YOU CAN'T SAY THAT

Whinging 'Bout Stuff- samjoneswrites.wordpress.com

Sam and Henry recorded these podcasts with one goal: to stay on topic.

They did not.

In this two part special, we talk about a whole bunch of things: the separation between "art" and "artists", the impact and importance of critics, Magnificent Seven, Kevin Smith and Yoga Hosers (unfortunately, Palmer Luckey, dank memes, and Clint Eastwood's tenuous grip on reality  . We also plug half of the content creators on Youtube, its great!

Whinging Aloud Episode 7- On Art, Artists, Critics, and Whatever Really, Part 1

Whinging Aloud Episode 7- On Art, Artists, Critics and Whatever Really, Part 2

In Part 2 of Whinging Aloud's first-ever weekly show, Henry and I politely request that AAA game companies maybe quit it with the whole "social media" thing- its really not working for them.

Henry and I also talk #Controversial comic book covers, Harley Quinn Halloweens, trailers that need to shut the hell up, Westworld, Walking Dead, ruining things, and I unleash my rage about the whole "Rey is a Mary Sue" nonsense.

Whinging Aloud Episode 8 Part 2- #JustToneDeafThings

Oh snap son! Whinging Aloud is back, and more weekly than ever!

And in this, the first ever weekly edition of Whinging Aloud, Henbae and SlamZone Jones serve you up a hot two-parter of podcasting goodness!

In Part 1, I grace the world with a dramatic reading, we talk Doctor Strange and High Frame Rate killing cinema, we talk DC killing cinema, and Henry professes his love for Black Mirror.

Whinging Aloud Episode 8, Part 1- Henry Hearts Huckabees (And Black Mirror)

Oh snap, whatee-doo! Its a delicious mid-week serving of Whinging Aloud!

I'll also never type "whatee-do" again. I apologise, I got excited.

In this episode, ya boys Jonesy and Henry are joined by "Sexual Souvlaki" Stuey Efstathis to talk about the relentlessly grim brilliance of the first season of Black Mirror.

Whinging Aloud Episode 9- Back In Black (Mirror)- Season 1

Our discussion of Black Mirror continues with a detailed breakdown of Season 3!

We also discuss the nightmarish tale of a foul-mouthed, know-nothing, dip-shit discoloured cartoon animal ceasing power by playing off the intensely anti-intellectual disenfranchisement of an unengaged populace sick of "politics"

Oh yeah, and we also talk about "The Waldo Moment"

Whinging Aloud E09- Back In Black (Mirror)- Season 3 And The Waldo Moment

Whinging Aloud is back in action for week 2 of our weekly podcast, and this time ya boy Jonesy and not-so-boy Henry are joined by shiny new guest Will Boston from Youtube Channel BOSTON ON!

In this part of the show, we discuss the endless parade of military shooters, Jon Snow's unfortunate new political allegiances, video games lost, No Man's Sky, Jaden Smith reviews Doctor Strange, and Boston gets a crash education in Hollywood's recent new hobby of adapting 90s children's toys into movies!

Whinging Aloud Episode 10- Jon Snow Is A Space Nazi

Part 2 of Episode 10 has us coming to terms with the death of facts, we wonder in awe at the genius insanity of Hideo Kojima, and I rip Christoper Nolan for being a bit of a pretentious twat.

Gary Busey also somehow gets mentioned. The world is truly ending.

Whinging Aloud Episode 10- Giving It 34 - 50%!

The final part of the latest episode of Whinging Aloud sees us talk GTA and The Witcher, and is then dominated by Dark Souls discussion and EVEN MORE Black Mirror.

And finally, in spite of my best efforts, we talk about the election. Jesus Christ.

HOT TAKE CITY, BITCH!

This week's Whinging Aloud is all about those sizzling off-the-cuff opines as Henbae and I spout off on just about everything: trailers, Overwatch, Dishonored, Watch Dogs, Game Awards: nothing is spared our somewhat-informed pontificating wrath!

Whinging Aloud Episode 11- The Hottest Of Takes

The question is...Would Tom Hanks even WANT to save America?

We don't know how to answer that, so instead we talk about a whole bunch of things on this week's episode of Whinging Aloud, from Oscar Bait, to grimdarking, to Wolfcop, and the depressing resurgence of Bee Movie, and the far less depressing resurgence of Neil Breen, the finest filmmaker on our generation.

There's also some stuff about dicks in there too? Don't worry, it makes mildly more sense in context.

Whinging Aloud Episode 12- Tom Hanks Could Save America

Sometimes you just have to let it all out...

Other than the emotions and polygons, Henry and I talk about a whole bunch of stuff this week, from whinging about how online gaming can be a bit shit ,to fan art: glorious, beautiful fan art. And porn. We also ramble about a whole bunch of other stuff too: y'all know the drill by now.

Whinging Aloud Episode 13- Tears Are Great

Starring Jai Courtney, as Artfully Nude!

Besides talking about jai Courtney in all his nuddy glory, we also talk about a fuck-load of trailers, Battlefield, and Fantastic Beasts. We also crack open the catastrophe that was the Game Awards, and announce our own catastrophe of an awards show! Exciting times, people!

Whinging Aloud Episode 14- Artful Nudity

Music featured in the Whingies:

This is it. This is the moment the entirety of 2016 had been building towards.

This is the first-ever edition of The Whingie Awards.

Join hosts Stan Johnstonium and Herschel Grundeltaint as they and a host of celebrity presenters (by which I mean Henry and I) take us through the year that was, and present only the finest and most credible awards to only the most deserving recipients.

Its gonna be lit, fam squadron. Someone just end this goddamn year already
