Hey guys,
What did we think of it?
We are giving you fair warning that this week's G&T Podcast episode is going to be split into two parts. The first part will be the usual show with conversation focused on our viewing/gaming habits, but also on Travis' trip to Japan.
However, the second half will be a full spoiler-centric conversation about Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
If you want to remain spoiler-free then do not, I repeat, DO NOT listen to the second half of the show.
While we've got you, why not head over to https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/g-t-podcast-fried-brain-productions/id957337502?mt=2 and leave us a review! It all helps with exposure, improving the show and will put a big-ol' smile on our faces!
Lastly, we are starting the process of developing a little but of merchandising for G&T Podcast. As keen listeners of the show will know, Travis' favourite line is "Smell of an oily rag". Well, we are turning this into a tee shirt!
Travis’ viewing/gaming habits:
1) Black Hat
2) Mad Max
George’s viewing/gaming habit:
1) Ant Man
2) Scrooged
We also discuss our thoughts on the freshly released X-Men: Apocalypse trailer.
Then Travis challenges George to a spur-of-the-moment Imaginarium task... Choose any of the Studio Ghibli movies and adapt it to live-action.

Hey guys, we're recording love now. If you have something to say, Tweet @Jonahhascome
After losing last week's Terrible Movie Challenge, George has to watch Ed.
Considering it is on iTunes, we can assume that it is either:
1) Better than Caffeine
2) Comically worse than Caffeine
3) A programmer at iTunes has an odd sense of humour
The question isn't if it'll be any good, but will it still be better than Spice World or Caffeine?
Before we get started, we have a quick discussion about the new Star Wars trailer. We briefly drift into Star Trek as well.
Travis’ viewing/gaming habits:
The best got better.
Walking Dead Season 6, Dragon Age: Inquesition. GTV 5.
George’s viewing/gaming habit:
An under-rated classic.
Star Wars Rebels season 1, House of Cards, Jurassic World, John Carter, the Total Recall remake. The Decoy Bride, Safety Not Guaranteed. The Italian Job. Gamer. The Net. Preparation for Fallout 4.
Travis’ review of The Lawnmower Man 2:
worse than Old Dogs but not a painful experience. The Prologue makes a bit of sense, then it goes downhill. Targeted at young boys and piss-poor.
Maybe not a classic.
This Week’s Terrible Movie Challenge comes from the wonderful world of Argentinian Basketball. Sionista Vs Quimsa.
After losing the coin toss, Travis chose Sionista and won. Travis' team lost and so he must watch the terrible, the woeful, the painful Bratz! Meanwhile, because George won four times in a row, he had to spin the wheel of Heigl and must watch Caffiene.
Review of Animal Kingdom.
A bleak and talented Australian movie.
Next week’s Movie Will Be… Predestination.
A contemporary Australian movie that will close out our Australiana season.
George and Travis’ Top Five VR and Dark Internet Movies:
A modern classic
George:
1) The Matrix
2) Ghost In The Shell
3) Tron
4) Avalon
5) The Net
Glorious evil in such a meek way.
Travis:
1) The Social Network
2) Catfish
3) Disconnect
4) The Net
5) World on a Wire
Recommendations from Greg:
Wake In Fright
The Odd Angry Shot

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…
