This week’s pre-ramble is brought to you by George as he flusters his way through talking about near-miss blockbuster movies, such as National Treasure, Zootopia, John Carter, and The Prince of Persia.
This week Travis and George review The Philadelphia Experiment from 1984. While it has a mildly interesting concept of time travel displacement, it is a mess of a movie. But it does get them talking about more successful time travel moves, leading them to watch The Final Countdown from 1980 for next week’s show.
Travis also reviews Richard Jewell by Clint Eastwood, and The Crazies (2010 version).

Travis finally understands the genius of Commando from Arnie.
Finally, they talk about Taika Waititi taking on Star Wars, and George posits the idea of a Cinema App. Imagine it, you have a membership to a Cinema chain app that allows you to stream new releases directly home, or to be able to go to the cinema itself for the cinema experience.
This week, Travis and I — once again — pitch Porky’s in Space. Then Travis gives a review of Terminator Darak Fate; George wonders if there is room for a Life of Brian variation of The Terminator, and the possibility of The Lost Years of a Terminator for Love, Death, and Robots.
Talk of Terminator leads us into discussing female roles in cinema, and how they are still not being served properly.
Travis confesses that he has never seen Commando, so has chosen to watch it for next week’s show. He also gives a review of The Hunt with Hilary Swank.

We will also be watching the new Amazon Prime show, Tales from the Loop
This week, Travis and George have a good, old natter about VR. Particularly talking about Travis’ Oculus Quest, and the games/apps currently available. Is there a killer app for VR yet? Beat Sabre seems to be the uniform front contender for that crown. But we also wonder if VR is going to shine more in the social aspect of society rather than the gaming world.
Next up Travis talks a little about Westworld — don’t worry, there are no spoilers for Season 3.
We talk through our thoughts on the finale of Star Trek: Picard. They are many and they are not exactly happy.
George talks about experiencing two of the Xbox staple games, Gears of War and Halo on Xbox Game Pass. He also tried out Rage 2 with mixed results.
Lastly, Travis watched Superman: Red Son. A WB-animated DC heroes feature film based around the question: What if Superman had landed in Soviet Russia, and not Smallville USA?
This week Travis and I have a deep-dive conversation about Star Trek: Picard and why it’s not working for either of us. Travis then tells us that Batter Call Saul is one of the very best TV shows of all-time.
Meanwhile, on the opposite end of the spectrum, George has been indulging in Kaiju (and Kaiju-like) movies… most notably, Godzilla (2014), and Godzilla 2: King of Monsters.
In gaming news, Travis has spent a little time playing Doom Eternal which, to him at least, feels like its become more of a survival game. The game that hs really stolen Travis’ heart at the moment though is Broforce in all its 8-bit nostalgia glory!
Again, on the opposite end of the spectrum, George has been indulging in the calming delights of Animal Crossing on Nintendo Switch. He has also signed up to Xbox Game Pass and played some of Sniper Elite 4. Sadly they have made the game areas too bit and they are far less fun than the tight, narrow streets of Paris from the last game.
Hey folks!
Sorry for the delay in getting new content to you guys. What with laziness, Covid-19, and poor organization, I’ve let things slide. But thankfully, Travis and I have been working on a remote basis for ages and so we can continue the show... all we have to do is actually record it!
Also, I will be releasing a podcast version of Vaugn. I will be releasing episodic chapters.
So we have plenty of content coming your way!
