Medium Shift

This episode Chris and Ev explore the memories of our ancestors who lived before the scourge of video game adaptations before begrudgingly dive into the alternate history of the Assassin's Creed film. Nothing is true, everything is dull and the mysterious relic of a 'good video game movie' continues to be lost to time.   Random Recommendations Chris: Snowtown.

In preparation for The Crucible (1996), Chris and Ev attempt to build a recording studio from the ground up. When that inevitably fails, they decide to just do what they always do, and see how a 1996 movie adapts a 1953 play about a 1692 event. So joins us, because afterwards we are heading to Cody Shuck's house for after-play sprite and chips at the Crucible cast party. Random Recommendations Chris: The Maltese Falcon.

You want to know how we got these scars? Listen and find out what scars Joker (2019) has given Chris and Ev. Is this the greatest, most prestigious movie DC has made since The Dark Knight, or is it a pretentious, unintelligent wank of a film? All we know is that, we live in a society. And so does this film...

Chris and Ev find out these vampires definitely don't suck (blood or otherwise) when they plunge a stake into the metaphorical heart of Let Me In and its filmic/novel origins.   Random Recommendations Chris: What We Do in the Shadows.

The sins of Chris and Ev's past come back to haunt them as a mysterious figure ten steps ahead of them forces Chris and Ev to confront the hard truth. After the pain and hurt of season 4 of Arrow, why would they come back to season 5 and 6? For justice? For some antiquated sense of morality? Why? BECAUSE WE LIKED IT!

Chris and Ev spiral into an existential crisis over an inside joke that has gotten out of hand and break down the allegorical ramifications of the most anticipated sequel of 2019, The Angry Birds Movie 2. Is it about the cold war? The philosophical crisis of nuclear weapons? Are we reading into these movies to such an unhealthy extent that we have completely lost any sense of what studying a film's meaning is anymore?
