Five minutes?

I went with my auto queue here.

and we put the cast on
audio platforms for listening to
with your ears. I'm sure some of you are listening.

slightly ill voice actually oh baby ill ill I can't help it can I

I'm at the end of it's just my throat I keep losing my voice it's coming and going
me ill that's what you fucking sound like Jim I'm gonna stick this chewing gum to your
face I'd like that
Well
It's like a few more things
Yeah
Well
Welcome to this episode
Of the Jam major podcast
We've already done this
You've done that
We haven't said who we are yet
That's the one for me
That's Ruben over there
He's hosting the podcast
Yeah
Hang on my left right here
Those listening might think
James is on your left
Oh
That's why I'm asking for your name
I'm Ruben
Hey it's me
Jim
Nope and with me is Alex
That was Alex
Sorry yeah
And then there's Jamie
And then there's James
and then there's James.
Jordan.
I don't...
You know who we are.
I'm calling me James.
My name's Jordan.
I feel very sorry for...
If this was someone's like first episode,
they'd just be like...
Yeah.
What the?
We have huge news.
We have huge goddamn news, everybody.
Do we?
This is breaking news.
It's not breaking.
Oh.
So last episode was called
Angry Joe...
Love's beans.
Loves beans.
Rubin's favorite episode.
I wasn't on it, but...
And someone on Twitter,
tagged angry Joe in a tweet saying I love the jarcast it's my favorite part of Mondays or
something like that um with like a screenshot of the thumbnail and the real angry Joe replied in all
of his anger in all of his anger to John mode we did have a lot of anger mm-hmm and embrace yourselves
for what what he replied to to us saying he says I actually
hate beans. The only exception
would be Arros con
grand duels
pigeon peas
that my grandma slash grandpa used to make.
Full stop.
Passive aggressive, full stop. Very passive
aggressive and the jar media account
replied, this will not slide Joe
you were the one week account on
and then he didn't respond. I like how you say
the jar media account when it was very clearly
he's always Alex. No.
Yeah. I would say about I'm
15%
James is 30% and the rest is Rubin
normally
I don't even have access to the account
Stop picking bad treats on it
Yeah Alex does use it
I'm the only one that actually doesn't have access to it
I don't have access to it
I thought you do
I've never had access to it
You got YouTube and like
Jamie and James can't have it
because you'll post cringe
No
The way it is right now is the way it has to be
You can't know
The biggest cringe post is Alex
It's not true I'm the one that stays
the most consistent with jar media's values the worst Alex's job media mean
Jamie don't exist on it so I'm not I hardly tweet anything on it well so I'm
saying that's why I think it's current setup is is how it should be as soon if
James got in it would just be bedlam no forget about it I wouldn't even post I
just like tweets oh he just like loads of bullshit like Arkelect I would
indeed just like the fucking Mimi Arcollect anyway I'm back James is I don't
care about what they're
saying I'm back for a few episodes
back for Christmas
since it is the festivities
and this episode will be up on
none other than the Eve before
Christmas well will it be on Christmas Eve
surely it's the Eve of Christmas would you shut the fuck
basically two days
what from tomorrow
not for them
no not for them it's right now we record in advance
so for them it's like two days from now
What day is it today?
It's Saturday, right?
But this is irrelevant to listeners slash viewers.
In real life, it's Monday.
I'm not in real life.
In real life, right now, it's Monday.
I don't want to live in real life.
I've just got home and I've taken a big poo-poo.
Miss James is Christmas Eve in a beautifully wrapped nutshell.
So yeah, anyway.
should we um i know you want you wanted to
oh my microphone sorry you wanted to at least some point while you're back talk about
uni but should we save that for another app for not today this is an episode on the eve
you can start yeah another one next week or something
because we do actually have a topic for this one so it's not going to be a total close to
fuck the entire time it's list day today
list day at the end of the year because that's the end of the year
obligatory lists of the things that we consumed in 2018 the year of our
We'll summarize our favorite
and we can mention some of our least
favorite.
Movies, games, blah, blah, blah.
Yeah, I suppose, I suppose.
I suppose.
Okay.
So, where are we going to begin then?
Start with James because he's got nothing to say.
Top five albums, James.
Movies.
I saw Infinity War, fantastic.
I saw Guardians of Galaxy One,
fantastic, and the film I hated the most
is fucking Madagascar one.
Absolutely atrocious.
That's 2018.
That's 2018 in movies.
Done right there.
Games, you've got the Spider-Man game,
probably the best game I've ever seen.
A game you've never played.
God of the War.
I've seen it.
God of God of War.
A game you've never played.
Worst game is probably Red Dead Redemption 2.
Third best is probably Super Smash Bros.
Then you've got Foress Risen, 4.
And you've got Rainbow 6, Siege.
James is out here with those hard truths.
In music, you've got the worst sound...
Music from this whole year is the Tarzan soundtrack,
especially the German one
that's really bad
Sawine man
9 inch Nels
yeah they're not that good either
big hate of them
I really like
BTS BTS this year
were incredible
they were great
Beyonce who's
they're a K-pop group I think
and Ariana Grande
that's my best music of the year
all right
so that's James at the way
James's crushing it this year
Jim have you got anything prepared
yet
did you prepare any lists on your
phone and everything. There's quite a lot of overlap, I think, between us three.
Listen to me. Not me. You're not just, you're not listening to the time. I mean, it was all.
Anything I tried to listen to from this year was like, yeah. And then, and then Jack White fucking
rollerblades in. So we're starting with music then. Yeah, I am. Okay. Jack White.
Just keep it on music then until we're done with that. Yeah, yeah. Jack White rollerblades in
in a white suit. Blue suit. No, white suit.
When it swipes off the screen and back in, then he's in a different...
No, it doesn't...
He rollerblades in and there's a waterfall made of blue paint.
And he comes out and makes the music video for Colors by Beck.
So, you liked Beck?
No, I like Jack White.
That album...
What's the name of the album?
Boarding House Reach by Jack White is the only album from this year that I have...
listened to and was like oh damn son oh damn son it oh damn so when um you know
spotify did it you know um Spotify did this roundup of the year yeah they do it every year
yeah they sort of summarize your listen time it's like your favorite is this just everything
was that album um according to that according to me i'm 100% not listening i'm 100% listening i'm 100%
to non-mainstream artist.
And that's an average.
So I'm a hundred times more hipster
than an average Spotify user apparently.
Yeah.
That doesn't surprise me in the slightest.
He listens to just Japanese jazz playlists
a lot.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's why doesn't surprise me one bit.
Other than that, I'm done for music.
Whatever you say, I don't give a shit
because what I believe
is what matters.
I think out of all four of us, Rubin's the only one who listens to contemporary albums a lot more.
I just have a group that I go to if they release something new.
But otherwise, I don't really...
If Phil Collins release something.
Yeah, Phil Collins, I would.
People who are actually talented, but rappers are so shit.
And they constantly release music because it takes five minutes to write and make.
So there are five million rap albums a year, which are all are bad.
Hey, Astro World
That was really good
That was an inflammatory comment
That was coming out with these truths
I think
It's just targeting me here
I am
Well good because we even like
Swap and that makes him
The worst music tape
You're saying that you don't like blacks
Yep
Yeah James is racist
Second time in a row
James has been racist on the cast
Second time in a row
He was racist last
No it's been 145 times in a row
Yeah
But it's not
I'm not
I only do it because
You lined it up
If you line up
ball on the flung, probably gonna kick it.
You know, you lined it up, I take, I shoot
the trigger, okay? I fucking
pull that. James goes where
others are scared to go.
If people were gonna take
You're just edgy? No. You're just edgy?
No, I'm not edgy. I'm the nicest
member of Jha.
You're...
Straight out of the lame facts.
What do you say? He said
he's the nicest member of Jua.
Yeah?
Who is the nicest member of Jua?
We're making a last minute amendment to my list, by the way.
Actually, who is the nicest?
Yeah, I'm asking.
Who is the nicest member of Jail?
Well, I don't attack South Africans on Wimbo 60's voice chat, so.
He was being an insult.
Because you physically can't.
The nicest is me.
Okay.
Definitely not true.
The nicest is the, uh, soin, uh, soin, uh, soin man.
Hmm.
We're all so, soin, we're all just slow for Jim on that one.
Soink.
Huh?
okay so obviously the best the best song of the year is lift yourself by Kanye West
definitely speaking of rappers that's the one good rap song of the year yeah credible
song genuinely in my in my top 100 most played I hate all of you mine was it was in my
top 100 it was genuinely in there and I will stick by that song I actually like
that song it's funny but I'm laughing with it not at it which is rare for Kanye normally
when I bring him up, I'm laughing at him.
There was a last minute change to the number five spot on my list.
You can't lift yourself on the way.
I can't decide what I preferred out of.
I have no ranking whatsoever because...
We're going to look like absolute retards if RTJ comes out at the end of the year.
Because then it's this year.
No, they won't.
It's set for 2019, don't worry.
I know it is.
No, you didn't.
Anyway.
One of those two members is white, so I'm allowed to listen to it legally.
So that's okay.
Wait, it's not legal to listen.
But you're allowed to listen to Kanye?
He's like a white guy trapped in a black guy's body.
Trapped on a white guy, trapped in a black guy.
He's just so many people inside other people's bodies, and it's so confusing.
He has no idea who he is.
He is Kanye.
Yeah, 2018 was the year I kind of went back a bit and went delve deeper into artists I was a bit familiar with, but made myself more familiar.
I think, to enjoy music, you kind of have to do that.
You just go, like, there's never been a year where it's, I haven't done that.
You always go back and just find.
Yeah, but there'll always be a year where it's like, right, that's the year where I go back and listen to all of blank's best stuff.
Right.
I do that every year.
That's what I'm saying, Chase.
There has to be one year where you do that.
I do that every year, though.
There's got to be one artist each year.
No, I do every artist each year.
point is
my shoutouts in terms of that stuff
which is not contemporary at all
from 2018 would be
Talking Heads
went back and listened to all their classic albums
Some of my faves
Fleetwood Mac
You're on this one Jim
Rumors Fleetwood Mac
Great album
Awesome album
Not modern by any means
But yeah
And I rinsed the album
Dialects by Snowmine
This year
That was on my
Snow Patrol
Sorry guys
Big Snow Patrol fan here
Yeah
My thing is like
They're a bunch of artists
From about
2013
To
2015 maybe
That released like an album
That I really like
But then they just vanish
And never release anything ever again
So I'm just trapped
With one album that I like
He's not a silly man
Iron Man
Um
I guess
I can just list off some of that.
I did listen to a few albums.
No, it's five, Alex.
I didn't have five, though.
We'll have four.
Because I listen to...
I have three.
But no more than five.
The albums I listen to that I actually enjoyed, right?
Bad Witch, Nine Inch Nails.
Is that on your top five?
I guess we'll save it for when you...
Yeah, I'm going to have a boy on my list, aren't I?
Bad Witch, lift yourself by Kanye, not an album.
But that is the best album of the year.
Just that song.
The other one doesn't count.
Um, lots of singles from Little Dragon release some really good singles, uh, Ian Brown, release some awesome singles. Kurt Koppi released an awesome singel. Um, Toro y-moi, release some singles I like.
Toro mi-a, isn't it? It's probably it's more.
What?
Whatever. Doesn't it mean, um, monkey in, um, Italian or whatever?
I don't know.
I'm pretty sure of Spanish, not Italian. I actually really liked, um, Minecraft Guy's album.
C418
Yep
Minecraft
Got it written down
Why did you save Minecraft
Because no one else
Is gonna know what he's called
Who's listening
He's gonna say his name as well
C418 excursions
It's called that album
Everyone knows C4 18 now
Everybody everyone that's the Minecraft
soundtrack
Is C4 in Minecraft
Is my question
C4
The explosive
T and T is
Yeah T and T is
Well and judging how C4
is a plastic explosive
Idiot boy
That
Australian band
parcels, released
an album that I like.
They're Australian?
I thought they were French.
Maybe they are. I thought they're
Australian for some reason. I'm pretty sure they're French.
I'm a Darth Punk's label.
Let me find out.
They're from Paris.
Are they?
They're something of the wrong band.
They do all the like funky disco
stuff, don't they? Electro pop.
Bunky disco.
Monkey mimbo.
Yeah, they're from Australia.
What? Wild.
They were born there at least. They migrated to
Berlin
Oh
So that'll be why
They're part of that
Those Australian artists
I like for some reason
So
A copy as well
Um
Roosevelt released another
Roosevelt album
Jim what did you think of that
Mm-hmm
I like the guerrillas album
What's it called Alex
Demon Days
Yes
That is a good out
Jim I need
you to um
burping into the mic so disgusting i can't hear you i need you to hello dear thanks and uh
whatever katie perry's latest single was oh um uh firework no you fucking that's that is a absolute
awesome track though i know famously featured in magus swish bish as a whole swish swish
bish was i believe last year but that was awesome what really anyone that's a new
listener is gonna be just so that's the black
The backpack kid, right?
The backpack kid.
Swish, swish, bish.
What's that song called?
Swish, swish, bish, swish, swish.
Any new listeners are going to be so confused by...
2017.
By this.
Fuck!
No, it's fine, they'll understand.
It's not confusing.
What's confusing?
All I've said is just some awesome music you should check out.
Go on, Rubin. Give us your...
No, Alex, I'm not sure if he's done yet.
I'm done.
He just said...
Oh, I listened to some David Bowie.
albums as well but don't start playing with my socks again janey okay reuben i actually have a list
that i've been preparing for yours is actually in order it's going five to one we're going for my worst
the best or whatever okay except it's the worst but it's still the best of it's like the worst of yeah you
don't hate the album it's just it's just the worst number five bad witch yeah noish nails
that's what my late last second amendment was i was like between two albums wasn't sure okay
fuel.
Can you do it?
Joy as an act of resistance by idols.
Okay.
Never heard of them.
No, well, you wouldn't have, would you, James?
You'd like shit music.
Say something like that every time Reuben says it.
Okay, it'll be...
And number three?
Number three?

What are the mediums of
Is anything even coming out
Apart from RTJ
That you can think of right now
In terms of music, 2019
Can't do my
Remit to have something
Really? Yeah
Well if it's as atrocious as damn
I'm not going to be even listening to it
Yeah 100% of Alex on that one
oh damn damn no no yeah i don't fucking know music is for god damn children that want to have some
sort of identity when they've got nothing else you say what's your identity then you little
fucking baby yeah okay hopefully we're gonna fart no i mean oh jim farts on the mic he he would
say guys and then just go
Guys, guys, and we'll just hear like...
And then just...
Or something like that.
That's not fucking even slightly true.
He does.
You can do it on... Oh!
You dumb idiot. Um, so...
Should we do movies now?
Yeah.
I haven't seen that many movies.
Yeah, you've already said yours.
You already did it all your notes.
You've seen three films this year.
I did mean, though.
But I've only seen two films, technically.
Have you only watched two movies this whole year?
New, brand new movies?
Well, Guardians of Galaxy One didn't come out this year.
Both. I saw...
Infinity will
You saw Mission Impossible this year
That's true yeah
Okay that's definitely number on the bottom
Mm-hmm
Because the motorbike scene
Fucking atrocious
James is such an idiot
James is critical understanding
It's just like
No that movie is great
E
Not at all
That movie is
The controller at his head
Oh my god
I would have caught it out of the air anyway
Okay
Don't throw it though
Because I just break the remote
with a wall or something.
So far on my letterbox list, I have 40 films.
Can we just talk about the worst film of the year?
We can start there if you want.
These are all from this year, right?
Go up a little bit?
Yes, they're all from this year.
There it is. There it is.
Worst film of the year, Deadpool 2.
That film is fucking dog shit.
I agree with Jim on this time.
You haven't seen it.
I've seen Deadpool 2 on my list out of the 40...
The 40 films I've seen, Deadpool 2 on my list, out of the 40...
The 40 films I've seen, Deadpool 2, is at 23.
So right in the middle.
It doesn't belong in the...
I think it belongs...
Jim, it's not worse than the films...
It belongs alongside the Meg.
It's right next to the Meg on my fucking list.
The Meg actually seemed funny.
Deadpool just seems...
I...
This is the fucking thing.
During the Meg, the Jason Statham Megalodon film,
I laughed more times than in Deadpool.
So did I.
A...
I I we saw it together yeah could you remember when I laughed or how many times I
can't remember I laughed at least well at least twice which is more than Deadpool
two where I laugh at the Meg no I meant in Deadpool two how many times did do you
remember me laughing because I can barely remember the movie I remember you laughing once
when Deadpool stands up on his baby legs I just thought that bit looks so bad I was
like,
when did a...
I like absurd stuff like that.
Right, it was last year.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's what I just wanted to know that.
Deple two's not the worst film of the year, though.
It's better than that.
It's probably the most mediocre film of the year.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Which makes it the worst film of the year.
Yeah.
It does bother me when mediocrity is praised, like, the amount Depple 2 is.
Trust me, in 10 years time,
in 10 years time when people go back to Deppel and Depple 2,
they're going to be
not only embarrassing
but they're going to be a...
Because if you like those movies now
you're basically lying to yourself.
This is funny.
Some people just have a different sense of humor, you know?
Some people are fucking morons.
Okay.
Some people...
If you like Deadpool 2, then...
Just...
fucking...
I remember thinking...
I'd look at your life.
I remember thinking, oh, it's...
So the first one is way better.
But then I've re-watched that one.
I was like, Christ.
Deple one is...
god damn atrocious i gave them both a three yeah and you're wrong you gave you're objectively
yeah that's generous two and a half uh you gave double so five yeah we find deadpool
surely you got it up there i've only got deple one on this double two you gave deadpool you get
deadpool a one me yeah okay i gave that three because i rewatched it that's right yeah i rewatched it
that's right yeah i rewatch it after watching deadpool two because it was on netflix i just
tried to rewatch it and i was embarrassed i was actually embarrassed watching that film this this
is embarrassing yeah and looking casting my mind back to Deadpool 2 it's like it's
exactly the same well I'm gonna it's as long as article 13 doesn't ruin everything
on YouTube I'll rewatch Depple 2 and talk about it in the superior video I hate
that movie we did see I think a worse cut of it though as well I saw a I saw
because there are two different cuts where like most of the jokes are different on
the that's one I watch so when I you were like
I thought it was totally unfunny.
And I watched, I was like, oh, there were moments.
And I was funny.
I laughed at that.
And I watched that cut, the long one or whatever, with more jokes.
My issue with Deadpool is that, like, it doesn't, it's kind of like Madagascar on a weird way.
Being real for a minute.
As much as I fucking love Madagascar.
The good bits about Madagascar when it is absurd and basically has no rules,
but it bogs it down when it tries to have that sort of emotional core, which doesn't work at all.
and Deadpool is the same thing.
I was thinking it's like the films
don't even understand the source material or something
because from my understanding of the source material
is Deadpool's just a cunt all the time, whatever.
Doesn't go to fuck about anything or anyone
and that's it.
But in the movies there has to be a love interest
for Ryan Reynolds to be sexy with.
Every scene where he takes off the mask
and he's just like a different character.
I'm not watching him for his
emotional connections with people.
I watch him for his violin.
And being a dick.
Thing in Deadpool 2 where he's like in his head or whatever or something.
He's trying to get to his dead wife or whatever.
Yeah.
He's not really shit, all those bits.
That's what I mean.
It's probably out of fear because they'd have to be so creative to make such a sort of detached character like that work.
So they try and anchor him in a story based around, you know, the most obvious shit,
the most formulaic shit that the film makes fun of another genre doing.
but they do the same thing that they're making fun of
anyway. And do it worse in a lot of ways.
Anyway, don't want to keep too much, fucking movie.
Another terrible dog shit.
Oh, no.
Movie. Venom.
Oof. I think Jim and I are the only ones who saw that.
Another one that...
A film I enjoyed more than Deadpool 2,
so I'm pretty sure it was shorter.
No fucking way. Venom is so much worse than Deadpool 2.
Jim's just got an axe to fucking...
What is it, an axe to grind? Is that the phrase?
Yeah. At my head, I was like, is it that?
Jim's got an axe to grind.
There's no fucking way.
No, Venom...
Jim will ignore all...
He'll deny himself.
He'll deny himself enjoyment to hate Deadpool too.
No, I don't...
I didn't even find his movies.
That's why I hate when...
When everyone's enjoying this thing, and I'm like, how?
I want to be...
I want to enjoy this, but it's...
It just sucks.
Differences, I can understand why people enjoy...
He doesn't enjoy anything.
I can't understand why people enjoyed Venom.
His favorite album is Boring House Reach.
Venom is funny because of how bad it is
No, it's not
It's insulting
It's actually insulting to your fucking intelligence that movie
I regret paying money to see it
I saw a delete
It's not it's not better than Deadpool
That was an exaggeration
He's in a taxi
And he's like talking to himself
And he's like maybe if you stop being a dick
I'm an alien and I'm gonna give you my alien knowledge
The humour is so bad
And I was just like
I'm pretty sure what we want to see it at the cinema though people were just laughing
people were laughing with it the whole time and I heard people after it finished being like
that was actually really good really clever people said the same thing but what
about Aquaman yeah I didn't Aquaman was genuinely funny though I think Aquaman is the best
DC universe movie to come out whatever
what man of steel it's better than man of stuyl what did you give acriman i don't know you gave
it too i think so what did you give manor still lower than that i don't know i i don't know i
i've not seen acriman but like i think manna still is a pretty all right well-made film you know
looking better back at it it ain't got hot aquaman got more heart yeah but man of steel is
better than aquaman but aquaman's funnier
How come out of funnier, but it's also more impressive.
Do you see, like, I've just sort of forgotten how to make films?
They just don't know how to make a film.
They give their movie rights to the weirdest actors.
Hang on, we'll come back after these messages and continue these Angry Joe rants.
So anyway, yes.
For reference, out of my 40 films, Venom is number 36.
So one of my...
We're meant to be doing in the top five.
Yeah, but we're summarising the year.
Dad, right?
I know much more about, like, movies and games that came out this year than I do music.
Yeah.
Yeah, same.
So I can talk about it more.
Yeah.
My, you've actually seen one of my lowest films, show dogs.
Show dogs came out this year.
Yeah, man.
That's why I wanted to, that's why I wanted to make a video on it because it's so, it seems so dated.
Skyscraper.
Oh, I've got a special place in my heart from skyscraper.
We did see that this film.
Yeah, that's true.
Fuck.
yeah so long ago that's my number 37 out 40 worst film this year it was funny
though but it'll refer to my letterbox because I was funny what I watched again
I watched solo didn't I as well this year solo is the award for the most mediocre movie of
the year probably yeah that I know that movie kind of pisses me off pisses you off
it's got some awful awful writing that the only it's it sucks that when I think of that
movie, the only thing that pops into my head is that
how he got his name
thing. I hate that line so much. You're alone? Well, you could be
a solo. I think that's, that
is one of the worst, like,
I hate that scene. The one that sticks in my
head immediately is, um,
Chilbaka, gonna have to shorten that down a little.
How about, um,
chili? Yeah. It's just,
I think the solo one is worse than that one, but.
Yeah, no, it is worse, but it's still
like, just unnecessary.
Totally.
It's like, why don't you just have the characters start just saying it
After they've been together for a while
Yeah
That's what people normally do
It's like, oh, your name's Jamie, right?
And there wasn't a day where I came up to you and was like
Huh, Jamie's a bit of a mouthful
I'm gonna start calling you
Jim
It's the same shit, it's so dumb
On the other hand
Ruben has a backstory for why he's called Teddy now
Because that was like a stop moment
Ruben's kind of a mouthful
I'm going to call him Teddy
It's the same amount
I just said a group chat one day and it was just
We're calling me Teddy now
What? Why?
The reason it stuck is because you were so anti it
The reason it stuck is because when I say
When I'm talking to Ruben on
Video Games
I want to call him Ruben
Roosevelt Teddy Roosevelt
Oh
So it's actually a big compliment really
Yeah
He was a bad president though wasn't he?
No?
None of us have the education
necessary to answer that
Okay, okay
Here's a film that I watched this year
You know that this isn't a top five
Because it's been dead for
We're just doing ones
We never established that it was even top five
Ruben's the only one who's done a top five
Because I just assumed we'll be top five
This always is, you know
We're discussing
All right, we ain't conventional
We're more of a nostalgicistic
We're on the subject to films
That we kind of have problems with
I don't like the moment
And we didn't talk enough about solo
But I want to just toss the incredible
too into this mixture because I am not have you seen it yeah I'm not into it I thought there
were loads of bits that were really boring reach the same ground I haven't seen it but I've
heard it's like kind of a pointless pointless but there are some funny bits there are some
funny bits it's mostly when Mr. Incredible is being a dad and he's just tired all the time
and he's good there's just I got problems with man I thought it was boring it was fine
and I get really fed up with the whole mind control oh baddies they're
They don't know what they're doing.
White plot.
To me it was kind of like the
Monsters University to Monsters Inc. thing
where it's like one's an inspired idea
and the other's just like,
well, got to make a sequel.
Let's just kind of do something.
Yeah.
And there was, I didn't get the whole,
oh, does baby Jack Jack have powers?
It's established at the end of the first one
that he has powers.
But for some reason, they're not aware.
They didn't see it though?
Didn't they?
No.
Because it's as syndrome stealing him,
then his powers activate when he's in the air.
with syndrome's holding him
and then the powers activate
and he falls down
as a normal baby
so none of them see it
well
it just took a whole
I think the biggest mistake
it that film took
was continuing
directly after the first film
instead of doing a time jump
to where all the characters
are in a different place
because it's like
it's that problem
where the main characters
already had his arc
so what do you do with him now
yeah
and the villain
from the beginning
was just like
The villain's the worst part of the movie, for sure.
It's fucking obvious.
Yeah, way too obvious.
They could have just made the villain not like something obvious.
I don't want to reveal it because people want to watch it still.
Yeah.
I thought it was, like, as far as superhero movies go, it was above average, though.
Yeah.
Like, I was trying to think about it in terms of, like, as a superhero movie,
is this better than anything Marvel or DC is putting out,
and it is sort of better than a lot of them?
like you didn't see the newest ant man
that was actually difficult to sit through
that film
I can't sit through the first one
the second one's even worse
we I left during the first
outman I think we started watching it and I just left
years ago I just left
I did as well we were watching it in Alex's room
I arrived in it and I was just late
I've tried watching it twice and it is
the first Ant man is great
compared to Ant Man 2
it's that but it's actually
Ant Man 2 is really low on my list.
I thought it was a really bad film.
Final shout-outs for bad movies.
That new Predator movie,
it pissed me off so much.
I thought it sucked.
And Ready Player 1.
I can't not mention it.
I can't not mention that film.
The film sucks.
That's a movie I'd throw in with Deadpool 2.
It's worse than Deadpool 2.
Jesus.
I have them on the same line.
Here's my thing.
Things happen in Deadpool.
jokes happen? Ready Player 1
Deadpool 2
Things happen in a bad way
It's just oh stuff
Ready Player 1 pisses me off so much
Because I know how competent the director is
As well
But the material is so bad
The story
I don't know if you guys have ever read anything
Or like excerpts from the
You can find excerpts from the original book
And holy fuck some of them are so embarrassing
Some of the things that happen in that
story but awful film
cringy to be honest
yeah super cringy
but halo Spartans in it
gotta give it a 5 at 5
ugly Spartans is the problem
shit spartans
shit new Spartans got to give it a 7 out of 5
gotta give it a 1 out of 20
gotta keep touch inside my head
and other other hyper mediocre movie
Black Panther that came out this year
yeah yeah what fuck I thought it was 2017
oh well I hate Black Panther
just before um Infinity War was
It was like a month or two before.
It's mediocre, boring.
So that's the mediocre.
See, I don't hate that movie.
I think it's boring.
I think it's got bad effects.
It's that thing, but it's like what you just said about Deadpool,
where it's like, why has everyone loved this so much?
Yeah.
But with that, I can actually understand it.
I've got major issues with Black Panther because it's got bad cinematography.
It's an ugly, ugly film.
I just really badly said it.
I remember when we saw it at the cinema, I was like,
there was one shot I liked in the whole film.
For a film that it was just,
just mostly
CG nonsense
anyway,
that's really bad.
And you just
couldn't see anything
in this one action
sequence right at the start
where you like jumps in
as if it's like
fucking metal gets sod
Oh,
that sucked.
I was wondering,
I was thinking about
that scene the other day
and why I don't think
it works at all
where he jumps off
the helicopter thing
or whatever it is.
It's too fucking dark.
I've got a problem
with that.
And it's that
dissonance you have
where the camera
movements are linked
to like a
something a camera
could never do
for a start
to a,
a CG character who just
can do whatever he fucking wants in the world
it's not grounded by anything
if it was like a wide shot from really far
away and you could see him sort of epically
falling out of a helicopter
or any other way or the way like in Mission Impossible
where it's very clearly someone
holding a camera following Tom Cruise
as he falls so your brain is like
oh that something about that kind of is real
to me I can understand why that works
but in Black Panther the whole time
I don't know if the director's just not very familiar
with how to integrate sort of visual effects into a movie
but
the whole film is like that
it's got that atrocious scene at the end
I don't think you even got to it
I didn't get to the end I sort of gave up around
what are those
around that was the last scene I watched
and I just couldn't do it anymore
I didn't I was very bored when watching that one
in the cinema
I got a prompt that I remember specifically
with the what are those
scene everything is
all the set design is really shit
it looks really shit
because people are praising that's a big problem
it looks really cheap
and it's that clash where it's like
for the design of that world to work
it would have to have a really strong
sort of colour palette and style to it
but everything's lit back but it has to yeah it has to fit into
that Marvel movie
you know all that to be shot with the same type of camera
is and look the same way and there's that it's just off with how wacky that universe is
do you find it kind of annoying that like these african dudes way early on got like super high-tech
stuff and the weapons and stuff they design are shields or like bugs and stuff their vehicles are
like yeah but like their weapons are like swords and spears like if they were progressing
past us, they'd be using
guns and, like, have
leaks and shit. It's just fucking
stupid. Yeah, it's just comic, but dumb, dumb.
But imagine, like, if that film
was presented in a, in a flashy
way, like, into the Spider-verse, that universe
could actually be interesting. I think
that's one of the biggest issues was
how it looks. From the
bad movies, we can go over to the good movies.
No, I'm not done yet. I've got one more things about Black Panther.
But Alex just brought up into the Spider-No, hang on.
Because I've got to say about that, the
what are those things, and everything is really, lit really badly.
everything looks really flat
and nothing
really just
oh okay everything's just sort of a flat
sheet of nothing
and the editing sucks
I noticed some really weird cuts where I was like
why did you cut there
that took a bit too long
and it was just cutting to like the same angle
they just go from like here
to there
or here to here but
that really unimpressive fake oneer
that they do in that sort of like casino
that was embarrassing
I didn't see this the CG
I couldn't know
I thought that film was just so bad
that's like a third into the movie
I couldn't I just fucking hate it
I think I watched half an hour
Give up
I thought it was fine
Anyway
Spiderverse you wanted to bring up
Yeah let's go into the good now
We've just you know
It's just incompetent
Might be my favourite movie of the year
Into the Spider-Man
Yeah into Spider-Man
I'm currently my number five
It looks
So damn good
Mm-hmm
It's one of the best animated movies
Like visually ever
the plot is heartwarming and fucking cool spider-man had a bump a year that's for sure
an incredible year um all the actors were fucking really good the only downside was the occasional
bit of music they used but other than that it was like hey sunfire is a great song
there's another one that's yeah there's once you see it you'll understand
a bunch of songs in the movie but
I enjoyed the film so much
I almost
Abe Simpson exploded my bladder
so I could sit through it at the cinema
yeah that was one where the crowd was loving it
and enjoying it and I was there with them
enjoying it as well
it's so goddamn charming
yet it plays your heartstrings
like a banjo
god damn
that's the exact thing
I feel whenever I watch Tokyo Drift
I watched
I watched die hard in the cinema
original
I'm jealous
yeah
five
watched the first die hard film
it was fucking awesome
it was fucking awesome
that movie is incredible
just time for Crimbo
I actually do have a list of five films
go through yours
I can just tear through it
because you don't have a list
I do have a list but I suppose you do
but I made a list.
I'll go from five to one.
I didn't watch as many films this year as I should,
so he was kind of scraping it together.
Number five, Mandy.
Mm-hmm.
Number four, Infinity War.
Mm-hmm.
Number two was...
Wait, number three, upgrade.
Mm-hmm.
Number two was Mission Impossible Fallout.
Number one?
Howdy?
It was about a Buster Scruggs.
The Battle of Buster Scrugs
is my number one as well at moment.
Very, very good
Boy
But
They're awesome at writing
I watched
I watched for the first time
Just a few days ago
Isn't you gonna say burn after reading
Burn after reading
Because I saw them
I'd never seen it
I'd never seen it
It's awesome isn't it
Fucking hell it's so good
Yeah
And then I watched the Big Lobowski
A couple hours later
Oh did you
It's like their writing capabilities
Are
Every time I watch the Big Lobowski
I spot something new
It's awesome
It was amazing watching a Kern Brothers, like a conventional movie,
because Ballad of Buster Scruggs is not conventional movie by any means.
No.
But just watching their movie start to finish, it's an odyssey.
It's a joyous, yeah.
So fucking good.
And The Ballad of Bust of Scruggs is no different.
Fucking great movie.
And of course, coming off the back of Red Dead, too, it was like, nice.
just what I wanted
because they all felt like
Red Dead like characters and side quests
or something
yeah that was great
any other honorable mentions of movies
I saw a bunch
I'd like to say Mission Impossible
seeing that at the cinema was
such an experience
yeah seeing that film at the cinema
was my favorite experience of
of the year
that and die hard are like
Because, you know,
diehard came out.
You know,
it's like diehard of now.
Just fucking ridiculous.
I haven't seen a movie
in the cinema
that's given me
this sort of adrenaline.
Yeah.
Shot like any other.
It's a once in a lifetime experience.
James keeps fucking looking at me.
When that skydiving scene
with the music going
and it's just like you're,
it feels like you're falling.
It's fucking...
Yeah, it's definitely meant,
that's how it's meant to be seen.
For sure.
I think it's an,
action movie masterpiece you haven't seen um take a driftfully then anyway it's
at a great time if we're just talking about experiences in the in the cinema um
the Avengers was awesome there's like a palpable atmosphere in the room the guy with my
my friend I was sat with I saw it and I've got enough to have someone behind him this girl
who was obviously like just a fucking moron it was like oh no
responding to the film
kicking his chair like
whenever anything would happen
kicking his fucking chair
it's got an eye
I didn't even notice
my be as excited as you want
but you don't have to
you know externalise it like that
in the same way
yeah I thought it was pretty
uh
pretty lame
of her doing that
yeah
you mixed up the genders
though you said hey
he was kicking his chair
well my friend
he was so next to me
and she was kicking his chair
okay now
make sense. Now the viewers
know what is actually
went on that day. The girl in the cinema
was kicking my friend's chair when we were trying to
enjoy Marvel's Avengers Infinity War.
Annihilation
That film's great.
Seen it three times I think. Really?
I forgot that that was this year. Yeah.
Because it was so early on February. I also
think the fact that it was released on Netflix
My list has changed. You stop thinking
that it's even new.
Yeah. It does it a
service? Probably does, yeah.
I reckon that would be a great
film to see in the cinema. It would
with that soundtrack and crazy
visuals. Now, it's
Annihilation 3
upgrade 5.
Avengers stays the same.
There we go. What was in your 5 spot
before?
Mandy.
Mandy's now an honorable mention.
Not that we're doing
top 5s, but it just helps me. I made a list
of 5 things and was there we go.
for each thing.
We've got to move on to games soon.
We've only got long until we hit...
Let's just quickly shout out
because I've seen it on Alex's screen here.
I love dogs.
Yeah, I love dogs is one of my faves.
Do you say you love dogs?
I love that place in London.
Nice place in London, actually.
That movie's beautiful.
That movie's funny.
Soundtracks awesome.
The animated puppies in the movie
almost made me cry because of how great they are.
And the pug?
The Tilda Swinton Pug is amazing.
Yeah.
The character design.
Animation, amazing.
The animation is...
What is that?
Is that some kind of code?
You're saying you don't like black people or something?
I would never say such a thing.
Ask James if he would.
Sorry, I'm not a racist.
You should see first man, Rubin.
I feel like that's a movie for you.
yeah all the space
son of man
son of first man in
yeah
yeah I thought about going to the cinema to see it
I remember I don't know why I didn't
I don't know why
yeah that's in that's currently in my top ten
I still have a bunch of films I haven't seen yet
I still got a catch up on
Charmed you returns to Marvel
is this the episode of this
First Man wasn't true
you don't get it
Anyway
I think those are the main ones
I want to mention for now
Hereditary I really liked as well
And first reformed
There's any in my one night
I'm good
You liked to upgrade didn't you
Yeah yeah I did
That was a very fun as well
Yeah
There's one scene in the whole movie
That kind of bogs it down
And that's like the bathroom scene
Where he turns into Deadpool for like three seconds
then it's back to normal.
Oh yeah, that was weird.
It's really strange.
Yeah, I forgot about it.
Just like Mission Impossible way,
it falls off a motorcycle,
and most across the floor for about five miles.
What?
James is a dumb, dumb.
He has a dumb,
okay.
This fucking,
this fucking dude likes Tokyo drift.
I like it because it's got a Mouss RX-7 in.
It sucks so hard, man.
I know it's a bad movie.
Did you talk about video games?
Yeah, I was going to say.
What's the best game of the year, guys?
I think Jim.
Spider-Man!
No
It's not Spider-Man
It's not Spider-Man
It's not God of War either
It's not God of War
This is the debate
It's between God of War and Reddard
Reddard of Renation 2
There's arguments to be made for both
Yeah
I think
The general consensus is
God of War I think
It won IGN's game of the year
It won the King Awards game of the year
I think it's a much easier game
To say that it's
Perfect
when it's not
I mean even if you look at
it's not about the game of the year isn't
about perfection though
no well I mean
compared to one another
it's just an opinion thing
yeah but
it's hard to put into words
I mean
God of war is much more conventional
in the way it
is impressive
it's impressive because it's doing something we've seen before very well
one of the most impressive things about it though is that
it's got a good story and it isn't and it's a video game
yeah it doesn't feel like
that's the first fucking hurdle of video games
yeah story yeah i feel like both red dead and god of war
yeah definitely what you're actually doing in the game actually compliments the story
which is rare the thing with god of war is that
it's much more consistent
what do you mean
what you're doing in the game
because the game
the god of war is always fun
to play
that's why people like it so much
yeah that's the do
it's not about being fun though it's just
like what you're doing
is consistent
it's easily accessible
constantly yeah you're fighting
or you're exploring
like just
going to a place to get like do a little
puzzle for a chest or you're watching a cutscene it's fairly linear
expiration from what I've seen yeah it's like here's an airing just kind of know
you kind of know what you're looking for yeah when you're there whereas red
dead it's apart from the actual mission design of the campaign it's so open
and I think that the most impressive thing Red Dead too does is it actually
manages to tell a good story in a fucking open world game people sucked
breath of the wild dick right mm-hmm
for being so open and then Red Dead's open.
Breath of the Wild doesn't even have a story.
That's the thing, I think.
It's got really annoying systems in it.
What I'm Red Dead too?
Well, both have a little annoying things,
but I think Breath of the Wild is more annoying
because of weapons breaking.
We don't want to talk about that because that's 2017,
but I'm just thinking about it because it's again,
and it was like,
about when it came out.
I think the difference.
I think even if God of War had come out that year,
the same year as Breath of the World,
people would still have to spend,
because it was Zelda.
you're Zelda, she's good, mate
I think the difference there is
because Red Dead has that campaign
where honestly the mission design
isn't great
It's fine
But yeah
It's GTA 4 levels are fine
But with actual checkpoints
But think about this right
Breath of the World doesn't even have
like campaign
But that's why people like it
I guess
Because it's just like
My issue with them
I haven't played Breath of the World
but I've seen a lot of it.
It's like the stories,
it does have cutscenes and it does have voice acting
and it's so bad.
That's the worst.
It would be better if it just wasn't in the game.
And it was more, you know,
take a step even further back.
I just have, I take an issue
with people not being
treating games fairly.
Just giving that game a pass
because it's that game. But no,
Rockstar, when they do something,
if they do something the people don't quite like,
it's like Rockstar shit,
what the fuck are they doing?
GtA 5, that's a bad game.
GtA 4's better.
You can throw bricks in that game, so it's better.
That's a real argument.
It's a real argument.
The critiques of Red Dead...
Wait, well, how is that tricked me?
My only criticism is that people don't dislike Red Dead for the reasons they dislike
Gtay 4, and then...
Explain?
No, people dislike Red Dead Red Dead Redemption 2 for the reasons they like GTA 4.
Yeah.
Gt4 is like, here's all this fucking bullshit you've got to do.
Yeah, you can pick up...
Just like you said, you can pick up bricks, and apparently that means...
means future rock star games are bad because you can't do this completely pointless
but then Redid Redemption 2 has all these things in it you can do I've seen it didn't take away
from the I've seen a lot of stuff online the whole criticism of GT4 is it was so
realistic they focused on wisdom to a point where simple things was not fun that is
the same with Red Dead 2 hitting a tree with a car in J.J.4 fly off hitting a tree of a
horse in Red Day 4 it's people love that in GTA 4 it's just ridiculous because like
loads of people don't and there's an actual
mechanic in in Red Dead to where if you understand how the game works then that will never happen to you ever
Also horses are actually
Easier to control than the cars in Gt-a-4
I just I do think it's interesting the people who say Gtta 4 is better than five but don't like Red Dead
Renation 2 because it boring
That's the thing I I like the fact that Red Dead doesn't give a shit about how you want to play it in terms of like
It's not instant gratification all the time and it's something
like, no, look, you play
our game by our rules
and you'll be rewarded maybe
if you enjoy it. Yeah, and if you like this kind
of thing, then stick with it and you will have
the most immersive experience
of any game can offer you.
Because yesterday I was talking
to my friends at the pub
and one of them was, he just
finished, he hadn't finished, Redemption 2, it turns out,
he hadn't played the fucking prologue.
He considers it, he considers what
he did finish, he took a break and it was like,
I was like, you've got to play the prolog
because that's the rest of the game.
Yeah, it's quite literally not finished.
Yeah, it's just not finished.
But he was saying he started Assassin's Creed Odyssey and he was like, oh, it's so great, it's so good.
No, it's just because the game is like you killed someone here, have some points and the controller vibrates and you level up and get a gold weapon now.
It's not to like devalue that kind of fun.
No, because that's fine.
I get it.
Games provide you that kind of call it.
I was thinking, I don't have anything against it because games provide you that kind of.
thing rainbow six I headshot someone and that's like for like a second
mm-hmm yeah fucking killed you the difference is you can have an odyssey there's
there are countless of them every year yeah spider-man was the same it's like comfort
food yeah it's not reinventing the wheel it's just nice spider-man just did it really
well yeah yeah well mostly yeah um but red dead two is special it's you're not you don't
get games like that any fucking ever really we have with the last one we got was red dead
one of that kind of that kind of quality and that kind of consistency I bet there were people
that had problems of red dead one back in the day so it was boring yeah I remember people
saying it was boring when I was a kid you know yeah because you you got it and then sold it
didn't you yeah it was like I because you myself and my brother like went on it I didn't I I only
put like a fiver in he spent more on it that was it we went and got it once like in argos
right when it came out well it's weird because
GTA has such that all-encompassing
It can really appeal to anyone
Where Red Dead is inherently way more niche
Because it's a Western
But people expect it to be like GTA
Because it's rock star and it's open world
And then yeah
I think it's okay as
All the decisions they made for that game
Feed into
Their design choice
But like I
I'm not to rag on them
I'm using Fallout on the Elder Scrolls
series, you know, the two things they have
and they make them. I didn't like fallout for a long
time. Didn't like it at all. I just didn't
care about playing Fallout. I mean, it doesn't help
the Fallout 3 is a piece of shit
and Fallen New Vegas is a piece of shit.
It's
Argy. Paulin Out New Vegas
is Argy. Just
beautiful but fucking shit.
You know, Argy's beautiful? I think it's not shit.
Yeah, yeah. New Vegas is
really ugly but has the things that
underneath.
It's the opposite of Argy then.
Yeah.
So, Yagi.
I do have more I want to say, but I don't know.
Well, I'd quite like to keep going.
I've got time.
Well, honestly, I've been thinking about it a lot.
I think...
My plans have shifted, by the way.
Nothing...
No piece of media from 2018 has resonated
the same way Red Dead has for me.
No, I can play...
I'd never played in that game.
I'd never played anything like it.
It's honestly a Marvel to me, how they managed to achieve what they did with that game.
It's like not really even playing a game by, you know, the understanding that we've had for forever.
I described it in the video as being like playing a full season or like three seasons of a TV show with like the best writing.
But with the production value of a movie and I can't remember the other bit I said, but.
It's like combining...
Infinite Mountain Dew and Doritos.
Yeah, yeah.
It's combining all the best things of all these different settings and gameplay and all this and that.
And gamer fuel.
And the music and everything just comes together so well.
I watched you play some a bit earlier.
And I was just thinking like, wow, this is so well presented.
It's ridiculous.
It's just astonishing.
Just sitting back and watching somebody else play it instead of you doing it sometimes.
I started just looking around at the horizon and shit because, you know, you can,
the time with your eyes
and I'm just looking at things like
wow this is
there is so much
here
there's so much going on
it's it is the best looking game
of all time
yeah
for now yeah
in terms of realistic graphics and things
yeah
you know
without that
people would be like
I like how Windweaker looks
because I like the art style
or something
you know
I just
it's the
it's the narrative
and characters
that really do it for me
yeah
I haven't felt
I haven't felt this way
about a game
since Mass Effect 2
really
yeah
it's such fucking
real people. And even then, the way Masswick 2
does characters is kind of, it's a little bit
robotic. It's way more video gaming.
Well, it's like, when I was
playing it today, um, and you're
watching, I just went into the camp
and two characters who I'd never seen
interact before, just had a conversation.
Yeah, the thing is, I'm doing my
second play through as well and you
just, there is so much in the
game that even they, they don't
expect you to see all of them.
And they just know it. They don't mind.
But that's, yeah, that's not the point. It's, it's, it's
so that everywhere you go and everything you look at
doesn't draw away from any other bit
it all feeds into this thing of immersion pretty much
painting a perfect picture yeah
a full picture because there's this thing um
it's basically a whole side quest
that I never came across in the game
and I don't know if you guys did but there's this like
these pig farmers and uh they invite you in for dinner
yeah I saw them
and then they drug you yeah I did you did that yeah I just never saw that I knew what was
oh I argue I'm sorry I continue I uh yeah at the moment I saw them I knew what was going to be
going on I was like I and trust you but obviously you do it anyway yeah but then there's also
the fact that you can leave like at any point or just not do it I I did it intentionally
ignore it asleep yeah but what was straight and again and the
game after they drug you
you know you
could just not be able to find your way back
to where it was I managed to because I
I don't know I recognize something
I left my horse over there so I ran towards my horse
because there it is and then you burst in there like a
spirit of vengeance with two double barrels because that's all
they had on me because of fucking blah
it was great that was a real moment for me like that was
fucking awesome the interesting about that one is
a reference to real life a literal
yeah they were the same type of thing
Cereal killers.
Like, a couple blue, like, did that shit in the cowboy.
They're a weird brother and sister, aren't they?
Or something.
Yeah, they're incestuous.
Yeah.
And that's like, the attention to detail in that game will never, ever be merged.
It's fully voiced and everything.
There's cutscenes that you'll never see if you don't happen to stop by that house.
And it's just like that, that effort into the most minute details.
Yeah, there are amazing stories.
It's unbelievable.
You could just miss.
But, yeah.
You could just straight at the mess.
For me, it's Arthur Morkin that holds it all together.
Yeah.
It's my favourite character from any video game.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think...
Ever.
He's up there with...
He just feels like a person.
Yeah.
You never for a moment, like, think that you're playing a video game.
He just exists.
He is a person.
Yeah.
He's up there with Garel as well.
He's got a bad voice.
Just because The Witcher 3 is a bit older.
It feels more like a game sometimes.
But Geryl always feels.
feels real.
Geryl always feels
that he's there.
I mean, Commander Shepard's a weird one
because he's...
He doesn't count.
He's just a thing, a vessel.
Yeah, a vessel.
Yeah.
Which is fine, but...
I'd say, Red Dead 2 is the best game
since The Witcher 3.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'd say that.
But it's going for something
completely different.
Yeah, I'm not saying they're similar,
but in terms of the quality of a game
and the amount of effort put into a game
by such a huge team.
It'll be interesting.
to see if cyberpunk is able to like
match richer and actually
I reckon it will. Yeah.
They're one of the only other people
who have the position rock star have which is just infinite time
and money. Yeah.
But talking about
other games. Yeah. Yeah,
that was only our best game. Yeah. Other games
came out this year. We all gave, that was
all our number one. That's why, yeah. That's why for me it's
just not even a question. I might be a hated but even
I can appreciate just how I'm saying that game
is. It just haven't had the time. It's just there are certain
tracks on the, that's what
really did it to me. It was going through the
best songs from
the game on like YouTube
and each one of them
is so strongly linked to
moments and memories
and really emotional beats in the game
and it's like fucking Christ
it's just so impactful it left such an
impression on me
but nothing else did.
I think the reason I prefer it to
a god of war though
is that when I play god of war it's
practically identical to when you went through it
apart from one of us
is going to be better at the combat
than the other
there's not
you don't put your own stamp on it
like my Arthur had a different facial hair
different clothes
you play differently as well
I play it completely differently
see that that doesn't really come into it for me
because I'm I'm fine with just a
a group of people coming together and saying
look this is the story we want to tell
and this is what it's worth telling
I'm not saying one is better than the other it's just
personal preference but for me i like when it comes to a video game that does i guess
make it stand out a bit more yeah that kind of choice whereas god of war does something that
really pisses me off in video games with like the way your character looks the armor
certain things are better than others right you have to wear the ones that you might think
look lame but they're going to give you a gameplay advantage so you're going to use it destiny does
it mass effect two did it mess with two and three both did it yeah i saw i
myself just on that note in MassFit 2 and 3 always wearing what I liked the most
I was like that looks cool yeah I just didn't care in those kind of games yeah you can get
away of it but in God of just want to I I'd put the difficulty down in favor of looking the
way I wanted but in God of War that's something the combat is so fun mm-hmm you want to
challenge yourself that's that one of the big problems is Belfester games the game the
game always ends the same way you there's you can't change it because it's just
that type of power index type thing,
which is good about what's red deck
because that doesn't exist.
You can look like a bloody gypsy online
with no clothes on.
You're going to be the same as any other player.
James is just racist again.
James hates the gypsy.
Oh, gypsy's a race?
Yeah.
Well, you're not allowed to call them that.
You have to call them, what, travellers or something?
I'm not being racist.
Yeah, I don't know.
Anyway, what's another game that isn't Red Dead or God of War?
James' game of the year, Spider-Man.
didn't play Spider-Man you've talked about Spider-Man it's not the game with you though
I don't want to hear about it definitely not smash bros yeah I've actually played it
incredible it's great game it's the best smash bros it's the best party game ever made
it's the best social fucking having the other day um fuck a maria what other game has brought
all of us and like Matt in at what point has there been us all crime just like which is
over a decade ago that hasn't it it's not a party game in the same way we played
we wasn't a party game no but we played it together a lot
Well, not a lot.
Like, I don't like a fighting game.
There's something so pure about a game everyone can play in the same room.
I love the, yeah, absolutely.
And I love the thing where, like, people gravitate towards certain characters.
Like, all of us have a completely different play style.
Yeah.
And we all have our favorite characters, and it's so much fun.
And the roster is just ridiculous.
I'm really getting mine down now.
I'm getting my main down.
I don't have a main.
I've only thought Alex once.
I feel like I've played the game more.
more than you
and like I didn't even have the game
I've just been so busy
I played crappy lame
I played the fucking spirit mode thing
which I'm not keen on
the thing is yeah there are
there's no like spirit mode in it
but it's just I don't care
I don't care about that I haven't played it so
I can't say as long as smash
as long as smash is good
like the that's the thing
yeah the thing that is smash
yeah is excellent
it's like infinite content
because
as long as
there is a smash game you can jump on it and have fun mm-hmm with your
I thought that I'd never get another smash game again because I didn't
realize the switch was gonna be what it what it was I thought I was done
because I really didn't want to buy a Wii you the Wii you was gonna be like it
I really thought I was done with smash I thought well smash brawl that was
but it's yeah it's just so convenient and accessible mm-hmm and just getting
controllers and everything so good switch is actually good that's it switch is
awesome it's got the best
of any of the consoles
it's just a
some of the best games
yeah it's a fucking
awesome console I can't believe
how much of 180 they've done
console of the year
yeah
I'd say yeah
by long shot
you think on the subject
if you think what
when did the switch come out
what in the last year
so you think in the Xbox one
came up four years before that
and that the actual
Xbox one is a dog shit console
which can't even play modern games anymore
and the switch same
what are you talking about?
What do you mean?
We all played Red Dead on it.
The stock Xbox 1 can't play things.
The thing is about the stock Xbox 1 is people
people have this expectation that I'll buy
a fucking 400 pound console in 2013
and it won't depreciating quality and value by 2018.
That's just misunderstanding technology.
You know, you have a computer, you can't really do that
unless you bought some really high-end shit
for that computer in that year.
it's a given that
because of the way
technology gets better
you're just exponential
and games by the end of a console's life cycle
are always way more intensive than ones in the beginning
which is to accept that you're going to have to
buy a new Xbox
James
I mean getting that no that's not my point
because Ford doesn't run on its Xbox
what I'm saying is it only makes the switch look better
because it's come out on the latest parts where
it's just not going to aid
because Nintendo they're just the
best of making games.
Yeah, but if you look at like
what, um, just
on that, like, Wolfenstein 2 is on
the fucking switch. I can't imagine that looks
better than it does on an Xbox
on PlayStation. It's just sort of how it is, but
Nintendo games will always look good because they
have, like, strong art direction and visual
style and design.
They're the one game company that doesn't
rely on hardware. They
can't be a developer, they rely on creativity.
The Switch, though,
the hardware is fucking ingenious.
It turns into like a 3D
yes it's like holding a game boy
advance that's what yeah it turns into
a portable console I had a game by advance when I
was like yeah
six and the screen was smaller than my phone
yeah the whole thing
was about was bigger than my phone and the screen
was smaller
mad shout out to the switch man
awesome console so good
let me just check it has been a really
great year for games though
number three game because we've gone
that's horrible
that's just horrible but
Um
only we played this
I haven't just looked at the same thing
A way out
What a blast
That was great
It was so much fun
I've never said
It was really creative as well
And it's
The way the story
Actually ends up
It's the only indie game
Out of all the games
We've listed so far
What we're talking about
Dead Redemption was an indie game
It's just
fucking cheeky fun
cheeky fun it's cheeky fun
with a surprisingly compelling story
and cast yeah
I mean
one of the characters is voiced by
someone who's not American and
isn't yeah he's European
had it but it's pretty weird
but even then like
he's got heart he puts heart in it
yeah the whole game has heart
because it's developed he was one of the developers
and he's just a voice actor yeah that's
or it's the developer's brother yeah something
like that yeah um
do you remember the guy at the game
Awards last year but he's just like started swearing and shit right next to the
main dude Jeff Keely oh it wasn't that him yeah yeah it was that was the
developer of the game he was like so confident I'm glad it paid off mm-hmm good
old game that can't really say too much because some of the things I like about
at most are very spoilery yeah but I would recommend a way out for some you got
If you have a friend,
you have to have only one friend
because you can't play it with more.
Yeah.
But you have to at least have one friend
because you have to have a friend to play it together.
So you can't actually play it by yourself?
No, can't.
Wow.
Got to play with somebody.
Matt came out this year, don't it?
Yeah.
Wow.
It's really good.
I like it a lot.
Yeah.
There are like complaints you can have for it,
but it's just like...
Yeah.
Another one that I remember
Sarn somebody who I see on Twitter
a lot complaining about it
But this dude thinks GTA4 is fun
Because you can throw bricks
Is like...
Have any more games?
I really want to play Gwaka Mele too
Yes
That's a one to less
So at number four
Of games in 2018
We have Halo 3
And number five with Minecraft
Because I only played
Three games this year
that I think
a deserving of the
of a spot in like
my top games
it's right and four
it just makes the formula
I'm like
I don't think of that as like
it's not that type of game
no it's just
it's that constant
that's constantly evolving
and I don't know how they do it
they're making the formula
a fucking temp like better
each time
and uh
I played Firecrow 5
and I thought that was
Monster Hunter World was this year
and I hate that game
not a good game
I played it a fair bit
but don't really care for it until now i got fed up with it um battlefield 5 pretty fun multiplayer
fire cry 5 i think uh is okay but it's just a fire crow game you know yeah this it's better than
far cry 4 worse than far cry 3 that's what i'd say um full up 76 just narrowly missed my
top 5 at least there is a definitive worst game yeah
that's easily
that's the worst game
I've played in years
because I'll happily invest
in a bad movie
because it's just
like an hour and a half
two hours gone
and everything's surrounding
full of 76
it's horrible as well
yeah
well
I'm gonna say
you already know
game of the year next year
best game of year next year
well last it was two
or something
I don't even know
that's out of old
oh yeah
that's guaranteed
I hope it is good
it's not guaranteed
I do hope it's good
I hope it's really good
Dark Souls remaster
came out this year
shit game
it's Dark Souls remaster
I love it.
I fucking...
I love Dark Souls.
One of my favorite franchises of all time.
It looks worse than Dark Souls 1 in some ways.
It looks fucking shit.
The Star Wars remastered looks worse than the original in a few ways.
And I was a bit like...
Is it like the Halo 1 HD thing?
It's way...
Yeah, no, it's not like that.
But...
There's way less effort put into it than that, though.
It was obviously just done in one afternoon.
Yeah.
Some of the...
The lighting's fucked.
It's the only...
missing it does look worse i would say it's missing its ambiance yeah and its atmosphere a bit it's
disappointing but i mean certain textures do look objectively better but others look even worse
but it's not worth it's the same with halo anniversary though isn't it where all the textures
are better but the the lighting and mood and everything is in our direction in in dark souls
remastered where because the resolution is now higher you can just see how shit certain things
well just really badly tessellated things from a distance who are like that doesn't
very good that was better one of a half job yeah they should have gone in on that I
reckon no I wish they had but I mean Dark Souls 1 is a fucking masterpiece it's such a
goddamn good game which is why it deserved the full treatment
Dark Souls 3 is better that no I agree it doesn't it's a better game but it's not the
same there's something about that first one that it's more impressive there's much mystery in dark
stars one yeah because you didn't they didn't quite know yeah nobody knew and and no one knew but
dark source three you start to have expectations you're like seeing this kind of thing before
I know how they're going to design this area you kind of start to just understand yeah you see the
uh the blips on the radar if you will anyway that was uh
for next year these two these two
game of the years of the new Dark Souls
that was list cast right there list cast
2018 the ninja one
shout out of the bear called Saul as well
Shakira
Shikira Shadows guy
Shikira
Booty's shake

Do do do

Should we tell

we'll catch you on the next Angry Joe show angry Joe lot
not telling you we've decided we're not telling you also watch Bojack and
better course all don't watch it they're not that good
Bojack's a bit edgy that shows yeah I haven't seen Ozark yet but I'll get around
to it
Too much shit comes out, man.
I know, on Netflix especially.
Yeah, I hit it down there because it was up in view.
