G&T Podcast Episode 31.
We discuss the mystery of celebrity as Melbourne
Travis’ viewing/gaming habits:
The first season of Fear of The Walking Dead. Really enjoying it but it is very much a slow burn.
Under the Skin with Scarlet Johannson. Sci Fi about Scarlet picking up men, seducing them and sucks the life out of them. Very left-field: 2001'ish and not much narrative.
Zero Dark Thirty. An entrée of a future film season about post 9/11?
George’s viewing/gaming habit:
Still obsessing over Metal Gear Solid V. I really don’t care about the story whatsoever, but the gameplay mechanics are simply a joy.
Super Mario Maker is a phenomenal tool with just so much potential, it’s a little scary.
The oddest thing about these two games is that they both have huge scope and i’m usually scared of taking on games of this magnitude
Continued watching Hannibal and it remains superb. It is going to be a huge quality void and makes me wonder what will be “The Next Hannibal”
Finally, as with the last few weeks, I’ve been keeping up with the amine shows, Fairy Tale, Food Wars, One Piece
We also watched Everest at the cinema. Forgettable.
Travis’ review of Hercules In New York:
Arnold Schwarzenegger in his first movie. 1969. Hercules wants to return to Earth.
Student film would be an insult to student films.
This Week’s Challenge:
The wonderful world of e-Sports and the DOTA 2 Nanyang Championship. Vega Squadron vs NIP.
After the coin toss, George chose the Vega Squadron. He lost.
Review of Lantana.
Wow, it’s a depressing movie with extremely sombre performances.
Next week’s Movie Will Be…
