I'm not in a song form Happy birthday Only Alex put his big heart into it Jamie put his big butt What did you put moving? I don't know but I turned around and looked at the broken Halo helmet and I was just like What a fucking immensely disappointing thing that was

That the Halo helmet was broken Kind of like the franchise in general Yeah Damn it's brilliant It was brilliant But we're not going to talk about Halo So this is a special episode Because it's the end of the year pretty much

And it's a special end of the decade episode No It's the end of the year episode It's both But it is the end of the decade But there'll be another episode Where we can tell us It's the end of the year

No because the end of the day Shut up we've been This is the last podcast of the decade Yeah There's no more podcasts Yeah This decade ever What if we get on the

What was it called the Y2K thing Well the The computers break Everyone was scared When the year 1999 was going to tick over to 2000 that every computer was going to break for some reason? Such a funny, funny

why did they think that? Did they not think that computers could count over? I'm still not entirely sure about it. I've wanted to learn about it because it came up in a module I did in second year and I didn't look into it any further for some reason. I was, I just was so like

wow, that sounds fucking stupid and I just dismissed it all in time. How was it not dismissed immediately by people with brains? Because they didn't No, the computer's 2000, that's going to... Because, you know, Terminator and all that, and they were scared of it, you know... Oh, give it to rest! So, yeah, this episode we're going to kind of do a wrap-up of 2019, we think...

As throughout the year, we like to check in with bits and recap on things we've been, you know, absorbing. We thought we'll break it down into some of our stand-out moments and highlights of 2019. Slice stuff we've, yeah What was the best meal of 2019, James? Oh, best meal, that was my Vover spoons, three pound all day breakfast with really bad eggs, really bad sausages, the bacon

was unedible, and there was like so little baked beans, I was pretty sad. So pretty stand out then. I mean, it's the most memorable meal of 2019 you must have had, so... No, it was an okay meal, I'm just exaggerating. Okay. I guess that's the year wrapped up.

Thanks for dropping in. Thanks, everyone. We'll see you in the next decade. We're going to talk about the best meal of 2020. So what's the best way to do this? Because there are lots of different categories. Like there's music, there's movies, there's TV, there's games. And we want to cover them all.

But we, of course, have different levels of expertise on each one. So what order would do it? Let me just refer to my list again. I think we should start off with sporting personality of the year. We know this is a big one. The Rock. Yeah, The Rock. Yep, I'm in full agreement there.

Congratulations, the Rock. Come down to Jarm Media. We'll give you your prize. And you can officially be the JARMedia's sporting personality of the year, 20, just of the decade. You know, so it's a big, big prize. The one that I have the least to say about is films of this year. the ones and the one I have the most

the most complete list for is albums my games should we start with albums then because I don't really have any and Ruben has his I have a few and I can't really comment on it so you might as well start there what do you think? Yeah

I agree I've got one so Rubin when you're ready just just just here are my best albums of 20 I even concluded the ones I've listened to this year but not from this year in case we needed to just talk about something else because, you know, Alex has not listened to anything from this year, apparently. Nothing, no music from this year.

I've listened to things from this year, but there isn't... Alex is stuck in 2018 still, he didn't leave. It's a condition. No, but it's hard to make a list when every entry is Jesus is king. I feel like I can see music differently than I do. I'm always searching for new movies, whereas with music I like going into the backlog a bit more. Exploring artists, I'm aware of stuff like that.

Okay, all my heroes are Corn Bulls by JPEG Mafia. What's the genre? It's rap. How much of it is rap out of your favour of the year? Two. Two albums. Okay. I also want to die in New Orleans by Sun Kill Moon. Oh, they released some new stuff, did they?

He did. Schlagenheim Black Middy There existed an addiction to blood This is no one else has listened to it So there's no like debate is there No you're not you're not describing any of this I don't know am I meant too

I just figured we you know I figured there's no one else There's no one else got any albums I do I've got a list of four And I'm gonna talk about them Oh okay so I'll talk about them All my heroes are Cormuz Jeff Matthew rap album

Yep I don't know how to talk about it I would have prepared if I thought about that But I didn't think about it Well I also wanted to die in New Orlean is just fucking Mark Kozalek talking about shit that he did in a period of time just kind of rambles

and he kind of get immersed in some like thoughts that he must have had and you kind of kind of with him it's quite vivid the way he describes some things and you're kind of with him because usually he'll tell a story from a perspective of I was fucking taking a walk in some place and I saw this and then

you start to imagine this place that he was in and it's nice it's an escape in album form. Okay. Schlagenheim is just like...

It tastes like a delicious meal. That's my favorite meal of the year. It's kind of loud. I mean, if you want to fucking hear someone actually talk cohesively, coherently, all those things about this. Anthony Fantano will have talked about all of these albums

and he'll have done a much better job of it than I am doing right now because... How did you find them all? Not to push you off of this video, I just I just don't have to say. How do you find them all for the variation? Pretty much entirely because of him.

But some of the artists I knew of from a few years ago, it's just, I don't know, I get made aware that an album exists because I might help Sam, oh, okay, they release something, I'll listen to it. Yeah, there existed an addiction to blood by clipping. That I can kind of talk about, because I don't know, it's quite easy to describe. It's a horror album. It's scary. Is that a real genre?

Well, it's a rap album, but it's horror. That's the theme they went for with this one. Is it scary? Well, there's lots of unpleasant and macabre descriptions of things talking about. So I guess some guy's girlfriend thinks he's out cheating, and then she goes to where she thinks he is and opens the door, and there's just a pile of remains. And then the song is about this vampire.

type woman who must have killed him and her escapades, you know, and then her eventual demise. The last track on the album was a 15-minute track of just the sounds of a piano burning. It's called piano burning. And that's 15 minutes.

I didn't... So is sounds edgy? It is edgy. And then the music of Red Dead Red Dead Redemption, too. Various artists. Oh, if that counts. Oh, there you go. That counts.

That counts. I thought that for it. I was going to fuck it. It counts. Fuck you. Doesn't count. I'd like to add does not count did not come out this year

The music of Red Dead Redemption 2 Came out this year The songs from it did not But the album was released this year Oh but the songs Did not It was probably in 2017 as well Some of them all written over there

So you know No it does count No it does count I agree Okay I'd like to say Okay Okay

But yeah I mean we could have talked about the albums Because I could at least talk about Solidair I knew you've listened to that Yeah I mean Are we doing I don't know we listen

albums we've listened to some other ones. I feel like we should just talk about whatever was relevant to us in some way. Well, no, because that's not really a wrap-up of the year. It is because a wrap-up of my year, personally. There's some of the other things. No, but that's not the point. It's not how we do things. Don't change it midway through your planks.

If you were you yourself listening to this in five years' time and you're listening to this episode, make it relevant to you and the things that were relevant to your experiences of the year. And that's what I'm doing. I mean, I listened to an album from 1974 this year. I wasn't alive in 974. I couldn't do a fucking year wrap up in 1974. Yeah.

Yeah, I couldn't either. Yeah. Me neither. James could. He was there. I was. In 1970s. I've seen many winters, Ruben.

I don't know. Is that your bulk? That was my 2019 list. I could do some of the other things I've listened to this year, if of course. I know, only the ones I can think that others have listened to as well. but you know because j z released all of his music on spotify finally yeah of course i mean we all yeah completely fucking me over i might add did you get tidal for i i bought um his album like a month maybe two months before he just decided to release it all yeah for furry so we're gonna have jz

on a future episode hopefully where we ask him why the fuck did you do that to jr can i get a refund please and then he'll say clap for it with his rap and blow a stack for what James you're the only one who has probably get demonetised what 2019 music of note left I do now this is going to piss all of you off

because I'm not a music person your music your list let's start off thank you next by Amiana Gandhi generally quite good album yeah I liked it listen to it a lot quite a few good songs on it

there's some shit ones but listen to it a lot it's generally a pretty good album if you don't like pop or any that just listen to it and be like okay well she'll wash over you yeah it's just a fine album when you want to some shit filler to fill out your playlist I mean she genuinely does have some catchy songs

but on the grounds only of like no I refuse to engage that yeah it's a pretty good album thank you next then we've got this one is going to specifically piss off Alex band came back slip not we are not your kind

unbelievable unbelievably good album. Like, I'm not a metal person, never have been. No, you've had a flash of bone, James. You can listen to us and 100% appreciate just the instruments and how the production is. It's actually incredible. Unbelievably good album, even if it's not your type of music, you should just listen to Niro Forte. Unbelievably good song.

And it's really great. Next one, Ruben will know this. Zoo by Denzel Curry. Yeah. best album of the year hands down every single song perfect I mean yeah but it's not best time of the year the ones I've listened to is generally like first my first experience to all of his music is that the only ones you've listened to

yeah but then I went back I went back and listened to Imperial and all of his other stuff really good album and I would say if you like rap or that type of stuff give it a listen it's really good Denzo Curry's album Taboo was like sort of the like the big like oh so he kind of fucking means business this dude yeah in my opinion anyway when he released taboo that was then last time of the year my favorite album my most listened to album is a ramsstein by ramsstein just perfect love it can't say anything about it because it's just so good which which year was that one sorry today this year okay they came back after a decade i wasn't sure if they had two self-titled albums or not and this was

not nearly as edgy as uh slip not but very just you'd have to listen it's so good and that is by far my favourite album. I listened to a song from it. What one? The Deutschland. Yeah, really good. I like that song. Yeah, really nice. I don't listen to the album though. I'd say give them all a listen, you know, tell us what you think.

Do you want to know the highest rated album of 2019? What? Apparently it's blood incantation hidden history of the human race. This is according to album of the year.org. That doesn't make any fucking sense. It's just a

It sounds like an audio book, isn't it? I don't know. Yeah, that's my album. Obviously, mine was Jesus' King. Can you not interrupt it, please? Yeah. What? Obviously, my favourite album of the year,

an album that far superior to anything brought up up until this point is Jesus' King by Kanye West. Thank you. That's just for Kanye. We are... And...

Okay, can I interrupt and say the worst album of the year? We know what it's going to be. It's The Wall by... Oh, nostalgia because it's the wall. But then there's Jesus as King, which is far worse. We... I mean, nostalgia critic is just a fucking wanker, so...

Can't leave... Reuben, your opinions on that whole thing probably aren't out there, are they? I've never listened to the album, but then... Do you know about the video? no but I became aware of why he did it why he made the album and it's because he he doesn't like the wall and so he is trying to make like what a critique that he thinks is in better than the wall in terms of it's that's that's the impression I was

I became a bit aware of it because Fantano it's his his like parody yeah it's just a parody album I was under the impression he kind of liked it based on his yeah review he's like he's like go and check out my album pretty good got some canchy things but it's hard to tell anymore yeah no it's always lost the plot as far as i can tell dude never had the plot to begin with so yeah i became kind of aware of why he made it and that just kind of irritated me

that's that's why he made it it's it's i don't know how long it's gonna last but it's uh it's a it's a scar at the moment on that album every time i listen to it now i just think of the critic singing it and i can't i can't believe unfortunately i should not listen to it Should I? I've been lucky.

Well, don't listen to the nostalgia critics one. That's why you have lucky. Well, I shouldn't listen to the wall either. You know what? Doug's got a point. If you've gotten this far in your life without seeing nostalgia critics to the wall, just leave it. Yeah, it's not worth it. Because nobody's talking about it now anyway.

So there's no point. I'd forgotten about it, actually, until it came up in a fantana. See, we can't. We can't forget about it. We're scarred for life. We've seen it. We saw it like two hours after it came out. We ruined.

I'm fucking glad I didn't. Is that it, Jim, for you? Yeah, I also listen to Igor, which was good, in my opinion. I just got to say about music as an art form. It's pretty rubbish. What do you mean, elaborate? I'm in agreement, here. Yeah, man.

You're just unhappy with the amount of shit. Rap being made. I'm just unhappy with that it even exists like the idea of What about when people who aren't white make music Who aren't white? Yeah

Look you could be fucking Normal Green Yeah either way Whatever you're doing is bad and just stop it Okay That's fair enough Yeah that's fair

Unless you're Awe and Uganda She can It's all this linear entertainment It's just valueless I did really like Velvet Buzz Saw to be fair Should we do movies? Yeah, that's a segue into movies I can't, I've got no to say, I haven't seen shit

So James, before you recede Is there nothing you saw in 2019? Hobbs and Shaw, you love that? No, okay, that I cut, yes, Hobbs and Shaw is incredible and it's number one, okay, we know that. And Avengers Endgame, you watch that. Okay, oh, Hobs and Shore's better than Avengers End game. Fucking, be will.

That's the worst fucking opinion. No, straight up. That's the worst shit of it. Uh. Okay, I do have some movies. Oh, I saw Joker as well. I saw that. I saw Joker.

Yeah, so you've seen three superior movies. And did you know, which? No me. No me. Right, that's it. No, but you've got no choice, really. That's all you've really got to watch. And which one is the better?

Which one did I enjoy the most? Hobbes and Shore. Yes. Where's the Call of Duty hat? Where is it? Where's the Call of Duty movie? Where is the Call of Duty movie? Yeah.

Oh, God. No, that's the Battleford movie. Because they had a fucking actual deal, didn't they? I don't know, did they? Yeah. All right. Well, Act of Valor was a... Whatever, it's not relevant.

In terms of movies, I want to talk about my least favorite of the year. First, if I can. I can actually do that better. than I can. Yeah. The best of good films. I can do that as well. Let's go around and say what our least favorite film the year is.

For me, my least favorite was Men in Black International, which to me is, it is like the most valueless piece of art possibly ever made. Oh, wait, say it again. Men in Black International is my pick for the worst piece of shit film I've seen this year. I can't remember anything about it. And I was hyped for it. So that says a lot. So this ain't no Valerian.

This ain't no Madiaska, too. This shit ain't got nothing going on. Nothing. Nothing of interest. Nothing to even think about. It's a vacuum fucking of everything good. There's nothing good about it. It's a fucking travesty that it exists.

And I cannot stand it. Jim? Wait, wait, wait. But I think Pornie should have his two cents on your... Oh, yeah. Of course, Pornie is the one golden nugget to a fall off the hour. of that movie and be swimming in the piles of shit that were left over. See, I just want to comment on, see, when I've filmed that big, like Men in Black,

it's when something like that is worse than, say, like, I don't know. Shaft. I forgot that. She came out. Netflix Shaft. Yeah, I watched Netflix Shaft. Yeah. Yeah, it was a Netflix original.

No, because if Jim has watched it, it means it's on Netflix. Yeah, that's not only watch it. on their voice. That is the case for murder mystery with Adam Sandler I want to see that I fucking want to see that

it's sick we got to go around and give our one least favourite first I was just thinking about when a film is that big because I was seen

there are worse films that have come out this year than men in black but it's because that film is so big it's like the scale is fucked

no KD spread is too bad I feel like when a studio fucks up it's so much worse no but it's not even like it is that bad

it's a dreadful dreadful movie yeah I'm torn between men in black Detective Pikachu You hated it that much I really didn't like it

And a A small lesser-known flick Known flick known as Stuba A movie Stub is a good pick Stubes is a good fucking thing Pornie's in it Pornie is

Stubber It was that on Netflix as well then No, that was one I got my hands on. Shit. Amazon Prime or something. You've got to pick one, Jim. Just choose out of those. Well, I mean, Stuber is so bad we literally couldn't finish watching.

Surely that has to be the worst film this year. But I hate Detective Peacchumor because Ryan Reynolds is in it. What the fuck is going to get a picture of Ryan Reynolds in this room? That's too far. I can't do that. James? What's the film you hated the most? I saw three that we've mentioned. Okay, so put out your take.

So which one? I'm not going to say they're bad. The one I dislike the most. Endgame. Really? I just didn't vibe with it. Like at all. I didn't like it at all. He said vibe.

That's a vibe check. Like the whole mood of that movie is just like, can they just all fucking die? I just want the main guy back Not Iron Man I just want Phanos nonstop Okay Like the

I just I would rather watch Infinity War Egy I am Egy We know that I've got pink fluffy dice What's your Alright

This is difficult Because I think there's one film That I couldn't finish And I thought it was appalling What was that Called a Cinderella story Christmas wish

However It's a Christmas film And it's clearly aimed at like Well I don't know I thought it was aimed at like seven year old girls but then there are too many things that I was like

what's a bit of an adult theme so 13 year old girls call a spade a spade yeah so that's the thing I'm trying to consider like well it's really fair me

it was the worst thing it was obviously never meant for human beings to fucking watch so mm it's I fucking hated Velvet Buzz saw I thought it was a really horribly unfulfilling

piece of shit however you know like Jake Gyllenha was at least fucking you know something in it Yeah, it's not on my list, but... It's not the worst. It's possibly the perfect date

starring Noah Centennao. That's the worst. So how did you see that? What was the story? I saw it on Netflix. The story of that film is that he is trying to earn money for college. He's a high schooler,

so he makes a dating app that, like, you can buy a boyfriend, you can rent a boyfriend, and he'll put on all these costumes, and then he ends up finding true love or whatever in the form of this girl who only uses the app because she just fucking has to and say oh and then they're like oh actually we really love each other

and like the morality of it is just horrible and it's all skewed and disgusting and just sounds like trash it's just just typical american like really american specific brand trash sorry americans but you're talented in that fucking department so speaking of um speaking of trash uh i just want to shout out another movie that would be forgotten It's possibly polar, though, as well. That was my far remark, possibly polar. This is the new Michael Bay movie, just came out on Netflix. Oh, yeah, I've heard a great...

Six underground. Why is it called that? God nays. I couldn't watch more than, like, ten minutes of it. It feels... I can't... I don't forget this. Carry on, please.

I can't... The movie, from what I've seen, feels like a seizure. What you can only imagine a seizure would feel like. Yeah. Like just things moving And Ryan Reynolds Trying to be funny

And not being successful Again I am I saw the picture for it on Netflix I nearly took a picture The screen Because I couldn't get How funny I found this

Ryan Reynolds's face is fucking tiny His face is tiny He's got like a head That's like this big And then his face is like Just here Just in the middle of my palm He's got a tiny

fucking stupid face And a big fat fucking skull That's why he's so funny though And I was just like I was looking at him like This is someone that everyone's like he's so hot He's so fucking hot And I was like why have they made his face

Like fucking tiny on this poster It's meant to be like the hotties Ryan Reynolds He's like a kind of rough tough gruff fucking No but he does have a tiny face There's a tiny fucking face And a big goddamn head And a massive

Dick Yeah No no but People I like did the stunt driving So therefore it's an okay No but whoever was behind the camera Couldn't stand far back enough for you to even see anything.

It's just like the most shoddy bullshit and like all the colors of fucking clashing. It's like orange green. There's a bright green car. That's all the matters. It's just bullshit, man. What color is Ryan Reynolds?

I've got to shout out the Disney remakes, Lion King and Aladdin. Yeah, yeah. They are. Especially Lion King. Especially Lion King. No, I think that was pretty 10 at 10. Almost valueless is what I kind of...

I think... I think Lion King is what. worse than murder mystery featuring Adam Sandler. Why? I love watching movies like that. I sat down and watched this Adam Sandler movie and was like, well, at least

they're having a good time. That's all it is of right, fucking the modern Adam Sandler films is where at least they had a good time. Was it at least new? Was it something new? Yeah, it's a murder mystery. Are they on a cruise? It's that one, right? They're on a cruise?

Yeah. I mean, it's a murder mystery. Yeah, Jennifer. is Adam Sandler's wife in it. Adam has like a fucking hot wife in movies. It's so fucking sexist and that's the kind of bullshit we're going to change in 2020. I'm just laying it down now. That's not happening next decade. No more sexism.

Well, did you see what Adam Sandler said he'd do if he didn't win an Oscar? He said he'd purposefully make the worst film he possibly good. For uncut gems, which I haven't seen yet, but I've heard a really good thing. Apparently he's amazing in it. Yeah. No, I've seen him. He's really good in Punch Drunk, love. I kind of want him to not make,

not to not get an Oscar story because I want... To be honest, I love Adam Sandler. I don't know why you hate him. He's really good. Have you seen him on Twitter recently? Because everyone's like, look at Adam Sandler's fucking drip he's wearing... He just looks expensive. He's coming to stepping out in these like fits.

Oh, damn, it's Adam Sandler, look him. He's got the fucking rings and the watches on and shit. He's so rich. He does wear very baggy clothing. He's a baggy clothing. go yeah he's so rich he might as well start flexing that cash i want to see what the product is of adam sander intentionally trying to make a really

terrible yeah because it could turn out that it's like a really interesting yeah it could be good piece of art where i said wow adam sando tried and there's something about it that's really amazing for that so yeah because it is just the lack of effort in anything that makes his other movies so bad if he's yeah if he's channeling his energy into bad i want to see it but also i'll be good it'd be pretty good I guess it'd be cool to fucking hear Adam Sandler Oscar winner That'd be pretty funny

I would have thought like He's already made That movie so bad though Being um Jack and Jill Or something like that Yeah Yeah

Like how can it get worse Than Jack and Jill Like honestly Like really think about that for a minute How does it get worse than Jack and Jill Never watched it But I can't imagine it's I'm actually scared of watching it

I've seen it Not that bad So there's this This is something I ignore. This is genre of, yeah. You can't just say that and get, even think about what just happened. I just carried on, like, and then.

So if James love it. Yeah, go on, James. Tell us a bit more about it. I can't remember. I just knew it was a bad. Did you laugh? Yeah. Did you like, uh, who is it?

How old way? Isn't Robert De Niro in that movie? Who? Robert De Niro. I don't know, maybe. He like falls in love with woman at Adam Sandler. Sounds pretty sick, actually. Maybe it's really good.

There, another shout-out. Yeah. I do have Detective Pikachu very low. We're supposed to talk about good movies. We're just talking about the shit about. I need to talk about these movies that angered me so. Okay, that's all. But I wanted to say about a genre of film I've noticed, which is...

What's that? Unfunny family comedy antics happen inside limited number of sets. So there'll be a house, and they'll find. find every way to do things in this massive American house it's that fucking one the new one with John Siener in that I forgot the name of he's a firefighter and he's got like

Yeah I know what you're on about Unfunny Movie 12 Yeah unfunny movie 12 It keeps getting advertised on Amazon Yeah I keep seeing advertised there too And it's just like Antics happen and John Sina is a fireman Kind of cute though

In a house John Sina Discount Rock Yeah no he's not He is discount rock He's his own personality. No, who's one more WWW championships, then the walk? I'm talking about in the film scene.

John Sina. John Sina. The Rock is in... Discount Rock. Discount rock. Discount rock. We're split down the middle. Okay, so anyway, carrying on, because I just want to talk about it.

Yeah, I don't really have anything else to say about Detective Pikachu, apart from that it sucks. No, that's the thing. There is nothing to say about... You can't see Ron Reynolds's tiny stupid face in it. Well, he's just a tiny stupid face. being instead. That's the best thing about the movie. No, the thing is...

It's been that way for a while. The thing is, Pikachu is the most perfectly designed thing of all time. Oh, right, yeah, yeah. It's so cute. It's genius, I think, in terms of art, that he's perfect.

Yeah. And then... The one thing that could ruin him happened for it. Yeah, exactly. You're looking at this funny cute Pikachu walking around, and then he talks with fucking Ryan Reynolds' voice

It should have been Danny DeVito Yeah, Danny DeVito would have been cute And you'd want to give him a cuddle Hey, get over you bitch Chorho I'm sure like that That's gross That's disgusting

My only other real shout out Is the secret life of pets too Anyone see that one? That came out this year Yeah, obviously just awful Did that corgi movie come out this year? Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, Corgi.

Oh, did we try and watch that? Yeah, James and I tried to watch the Queen's Corgy. Oh, no, that's the worst movie of the fucking year. We had to stop. Unbearable. It's fucking terrible. Is it just like baby, baby, moron, idiot. It was really adult to some reason.

Baby, baby, boy, moron idiot. The pacing was shit, and they tried to fucking kill the corgi. It was like, what? It was like this feels wrong type thing. It was fucking awful. It felt like the, the, the, the, the, Donald Trump was in it. was in it as well I watched Home Alone 2 again

well I tried I watched Home Alone 1 kind of like that I tried watching Home Alone 2 but it's just not really that good and yeah Donald Trump is in it which is funny I guess he's in Home Alone? He's in Home Alone 2 yeah he walked the whole Home Alone 2 the whole fucking movie is just an advert for that fucking hotel that the kids did oh so they Adam Sandler did it sweet they Kevin James did it yeah that's just an advert Tim Curry's funny in it

oh yeah he's actually funny that oh is he one of the naughty he's one of the he's the hotel fucking concierge or some shit is it macaulay colkin again yeah the home alone three is when i only saw the first one home alone three is when uh mccory colkin stop being in them um was joe peshy in the second one yeah yeah both the wet bandits were oh really uh daniel stan it's all the adults are funny fucking mcculley colkin's just annoying my opinion in that film okay but the adults are funny and then yeah donald trump points him to the lobby is there you go you're fired all to the left and that's it I don't get, I've only realised recently that I remember that Joe Pesci is in fucking

home alone. I just remember him, he's rolling Goodfellas and then home alone and it's like, Christ. Oh yeah, that was the same, that happened, that was very close. Those were a few years between. Yeah, it's hilarious. Speaking of Joe Pesci, the Irishman came out this year. I haven't watched it. Neither of her here.

Yeah, it's currently number three for me, that one. Number three? Yeah, I just have a lecturer who famously. dramatically hates it and I remember him telling a class and they told me about it because I was taught by him at the time. What was his reasoning for hating?

He just said it just feels like an old people film where all they do is talk you're saying at some point you know Robert De Niro has to stop playing Robert De Niro he's too old and the film to him

is old people with lots of money just doing boring films that was his opinion on it sounds like someone's got an extra grind for some reason. Yeah, I don't know. That's what it was really good. He is a fucking film

professor, Alex. He is a doctor. Which means you're wrong. You're wrong. He's a doctor of film. Yeah, but Janu's white, and then you fuck him. God damn. James! Oh, what was that? Oh, my glass. He just fucking smash the glass. Oh, fuck.

Anything else of note? Famous grouse? Um... Do you want some famous grouse? Because I'm going to, yeah, I'll say, I won't go through all my favourites or anything No It's pointless really My highest rated movie of this year is

Spider-Man Well, far from home Yeah Okay The thing is that I don't Love it Yeah I don't

I like it It's a good movie That's what I thought That's what I thought about Yeah, it's one of those Yeah And I mean There are other films

and turns, I liked, I liked El Camino. Yeah. It was like... Oh wait, are we doing good ones now? There's bad ones over already. Yeah, I didn't really have anymore because like there's so much in the middle that it's just so nothing.

Yeah, that was it, yeah, I see. Yeah, Avengers happened. Kind of... Bad movie. Pretty good. Spider-Man was better. I agree. I agree.

I agree. Okay. I'm going to bend the walls a little bit. Not of the year, but within the last year, it's only a few days into the Spider-Vus. Oh, you finally saw it? We saw it. We saw it in this house. I've seen it so many times now. Because it came out like a year ago, like two days ago or something.

But yeah, best movie ever of the decades like that. Okay, what's next then? Any other... I mean, I didn't do any... did I do a good film? I didn't do a good film. You haven't got a good film. I do. What's your good film? The only film that I would want to put on a top of the... that I would want to put on the top five list of the films I've watched this year

is Marriage Story. Okay, yeah. And that's it, because I haven't watched it anything else. That's my number four. I haven't watched it. Right after the Irishman. Yeah, that's a very good one. So the next one after that, the next highest rate, was El Camino,

which I wouldn't put on a top five list. That's the thing I'm finding with my list at the moment is, like, a lot of the best films come out around this time of year, so it takes, like, a good four months to even catch up on all the... Yeah, unless you are. Wick 3 in a top five list, which was another film that I rated highly. I just wouldn't want to put it in that position in a list, you know?

Well, yeah, you can always follow us individually on Letterbox to see the things we see as we see them, but we can only talk about the here and now in a cast. You know, and It Chapter 2 was pretty novel and stupid, so yeah, yeah.

Okay. Again, wouldn't put in a top five list. I just haven't seen much this year. Yeah, because a lot of it was just... Don't smash it, Ruben. It's all going wrong. Right, let's do games done.

Games. Gamey, gamey, gaming, gaming, gaming, gaming, gaming, gaming, gamey, gaming. Call of duty, modern warfare. Okay, James, go on. Is that Ashley on your list? Um, yeah. Okay, explain why, Jamie. Because it's fun and I like when it gets kind of...

I like it when they killed their child didn't aghast. Um, no, like, it's as simple as the game feels very good. Unbelievablely good. The campaign is utter shite. The right thing is just embarrassing.

It does matter. From what I've been playing, I've been playing on the third, on the second hardest difficulty. Yeah. And it's been pretty engaging. The fucking. decent mission design.

Shit. Yeah, but Captain Price has cool beard. Alex has cool beard. I don't know if it is, like, within my top five of the year, but, like, it's one that springs to mind. Excuse me. Yeah? Because it's just a good game.

That's not. I hate it. It's... Well, Jim, why don't you continue? I can continue to talk about Cod when it's my turn. I like the... I actually like the multiplayer. Like, it...

because I've never been since like time full two I guess I just haven't been getting into like properly going hardcore for a first-person shooter yeah but even more so like just anything competitive but it's are you talking about apex? No but it's nice to just sort of sit

chill and turn your brain off for a bit on cod yeah that's why call a duty exist right okay but Apex came out this year as well Yeah, it's true We all played that

Yeah I thought Apex was really good Apex is a very good game Yeah Oh someone finally made a good about Royal game Yeah Yeah

It's just that Everyone stopped playing it Because they didn't really Yeah The novelty wore off Yeah That's the thing about the Royal Games The whole time I was like

Okay When's the novelty gonna wear off Yeah Hmm They's still massively popular though Yeah It is I'm personally

I'm just sick of it No I don't really care I won't be to that one anytime soon, but I enjoyed my time with it. What are you other picks, Jim? Um, God. Well, speaking of Apex, same developer, Star Wars.

Okay. Jedi Fallen Order. Three of the four of us have played that one, I believe. Yeah, I have gripes with that game. Yeah, it's not perfect by any means. No, but it is, like, really good. I fucking... Really fun. I gotta have a bitch about Dunkie here

saying that he experienced a bug every fucking, other minute or whatever. Yeah, it definitely wasn't that bad for me. Yeah, never once. Where did you play it? I definitely had glitches. Did you play it, Rubin? When did I play it?

Yeah, I put it on PC. Okay. I did get it a couple weeks after. I played it on Xbox 1X and it was all over the place in terms of that kind of stuff. Even on PC it was just more solid, I don't know, which is surprising. That might be true, yeah. Yeah, I think he was playing on the PlayStation. Because I played on Xbox and they were like fairly regular.

just yeah I said that when we first talked about it they could have done with a few more months polish but really weirdly okay on PC oh I should have got it on PC then yeah yeah fun game

satisfying story just like a complete package with no nobody farting in your face you know yeah there was no insulting shit multiplayer mode or galactic readiness meter or

war assets or Ha ha ha. Yeah. Am I doing more? I don't know. Have you got more? Anybody else is talking?

What we should do? We should choose, like, a game of the year each or something. Yeah, but... Have you got more games to talk about? No, but we're talking about just a game. I've still got two games that have made a very big impression of me. One of them being Game of the Year. Present Evil 2.

Yeah, that's my pick if I had to pick one for Game of the Year. For Game of the Year? I have games I want to talk about. Games I play and were like, you're really good. Just didn't finish. though. That's the trouble. Yeah, I got one a couple of those. I just didn't finish.

Resident Evil 2 is actually a really close runner-up for me, for being the best game. I wonder what Jamie's Game of the Year is. But-da-Bud-a-Bud-a-Badda-Badda-Dat. Death Stranding. Are you serious? No.

Oh! I forgot the game even came out this year. But I didn't realize, yeah. No, I did. I just did a little play on y'all. Okay. Go on then Say it

Secure Say it's full fucking name I'm not going to use the full name Because it only has that full name Because in one of the trailers They used that tagline And Activision was worried That people wouldn't know what the tagline meant

So they had to stick it on the front cover of Of the game So I'm going to call it Sekiro Yeah That's why it's called Sekaro Shadows Die Twice Because the first The release trailer for the game It didn't say Secker

it just said shadows die twice End of trailer And then So they thought they'd lose that initial marketing burst Yeah By not saying shadow What cowards Of course they weren't going to lose

It was distinctly that fucking game There's no other game that looks like that Yeah Yeah Fuck sake Okay But yeah I played

I've played some secur And I definitely I definitely see how it Is one of the better games Of the year for sure I really want to play it I've been thinking about it a lot.

It's the best game of the year runner up for or potentially best game of the decade. You think it's the best Souls game? Or game by that studio at least.

What are they called from? The trouble is at a certain point you've got to decide. It depends what you want. Right. I think it might be my favorite

but not the best. Because you've got to decide at a certain point do you acknowledge the one that started it and then yeah, yeah. Let's say I thought that fucking, I don't know, okay, let's just say I thought that Dark Souls 3 was the game of the decade.

Then was it all about Dark Souls 1? That's the one that's the one that's the one that's fucking first games that from software made. Do I have to acknowledge just the first one that slightly resembled like Demon Souls? I have to say that one. I know I didn't come by this decade, but I was just where do you decide the one that innovated on what they started or the one that was the the innovator of everything else in the time? Well, the one that refined it all. Yeah. So it's a toughy questions like Game of the Decades, especially with From Software, because they were just like, not one, not two, not three, but four, awesome games. That's what's awesome to see there because so many games have sort of just copied, much like the way Star Wars did, just copied Dark Souls and not thought to change things or mess with the system.

Whereas Securo, they add all these different ideas where it's almost not a Souls game at all at all. apart from just the main way checkpoints work yeah it's see the rest is completely different i can't really remember how secura works but when you when you die you lose your progress in that xp bar don't you right you got that revive though as well which isn't in the solve games yeah but because that's what star was copied it can't be secure as well you know like but also the fact that there's bonfires the fact that like the checkpoints and enemies respawn when you rest that But anyway, yeah. Securo good.

Shakiro Masterpiece. James, what's your favourite game of 2019? Favorite games? I've got four games of note. Let's start off, we've already mentioned at Cool of Duty. Biggest change in the Cool of Duty ever. Unbelievably good game. Campaign, don't bother playing it.

What do you mean it's the biggest change? A cold hasn't changed in the whole history of the game. It's a franchise. It's the biggest jump. Well, what, between the last call? to the next one no just in the game how the game plays

there's a whole new engine there's a whole new system of the whole game but it kind of just there's modern warfare it is no but it is

but it plays differently in every way great game I thought it was a grand statement that was all just play it like a grand

what I'm saying is just it's the only reason I want to play games anymore I can't I can't

what was the last card you play before this one. Properly, Black Ops 2. That was quite some time ago. You had a great. No, you did play World War II though. Don't hide that. Yeah, you did play World War II.

You said it was, you liked it as well. I did like it because it's World War II. But it's like, it's a game that I'm always going to buy now annually because it's just, I don't care. I just want to go home after stressful day at work and just chill. Cod is that. Yeah, that's how most people buy that game, like millions of people buy it and just play it every year and they just take it as it comes I guess

that's what I was saying though like it is just the sort of turn your brain off just sit on the toilet play monomorphic and it feels great it sounds great and it's just fine I can't turn my brain off and play whole would you too I can't I always found it just stressful yeah and then you got one of them my my best experiences of the year was playing Gears of all five campaign oh really made me remember Gears 3 in earlier Gears and was just a great fun and a generally quite good campaign. Yeah, I enjoyed

my time with Gears. Then we've got my favourite game of the year because Outer Worlds is a New Vegas basically. Of course, yeah. Did you finish it in the end? No. So I got Monofer too. I got Monofer too. See, it is Mono Moro for 2. You Freudian

selected, it's just Monofer to a fucking year. So what's it called Outer Worlds? The Outer Worlds? Yeah, because I've played a bit of that one. I quite like it I like it I definitely don't love it It's New Vegas But it's got so much character

And it plays well It's just great And I love it It's like the game I love the most But it's by far It's not the best game Because the best game

Is free houses I got fucking hooked On that game extremely Like I did 60 hours In my first play through And I barely I like basically Sped through the last bit of the game

I love that game It's best game By far I haven't you been playing that room Yeah I haven't played 60 hours of it yet I can't even really tell how far in I am I'm gonna do another play through

yeah I think it's good it's irritated me like a handful of times that's it oh the latest stages can be really weird it took me 10 hours to do one one mission because my whole team was fucked okay great game great game buy it

my song I say buy it and buy the best edition you get D or C so you can do another play through like I'm going to do okay I really apologize for batting in but I forgot to mention control from as everyone I did I haven't finished it but I have been

been trying what's that remedy's control isn't it it is I got a question though you've been playing on PC yeah and has it been running okay yes from my impression was that it's like really hard to run

I just never bothered buying it no I can run it fine 60 all the time no it's such a cool game and it's weird and imaginative and it feels much more like if you have played which none of you guys have but like the way the design of Max Payne 2 in terms of mission structure and like it feels really gamey yeah and it is nice to just get a single player gamey game like that instead of this shit that thinks they're so above just being a fucking video yeah so that and so that and

Sikero, my, like, true... That's Sikero and Resident Evil, my true... Yeah, that was what was good about Reson Evil. That's what I liked, the Resident Evil, was... I was like, man, what a fucking video game. Yeah. What a goddamn classic video game. Just being a video game.

Get ready for Resident Evil free. Um... I want to say something about control. I've seen one bit from it. Is there like a fridge? There's some weird thing, and if you turn away from it, it'll fucking kill you. to, like, not, you have to do something. Yeah, you find this guy who's, like, stressing out,

and he's been sat there for ages. Yeah. Because they always have someone watching this fridge. Because if somebody looks away from the fridge, then it, like, will do something. Oh, right. But they don't know what it will do. So these people have been going in shifts,

but this guy's just been left there, and he's had to stare at the fridge. That made me interested in the games. Yeah, it's stuff like that. It's just all over the game. Interesting. And it's something that games do where they have, like a projector in the game

and then it shows a real recording of a... Yeah. ...of live action. And that is... Like, shit like that can be so effective. It's just a very creative game and that's using games to...

Yeah, to, like, the best they can. And it's got the voice actor of Max Payne himself, so... Oh, fuck. So the game guaranteed masterpiece. I was really happy about it. I drank some whiskey and took some pain killers. Yay!

then my family got murdered no they didn't the any game i really want to mention is a it's not a good game and it's to shout out for how shit it is but anthem they spent a while playing that game just so i could make a video but that game is truly terrible i think like the longer it goes like what what no one remembers it yeah what purpose did it have like in its release like based on by Fireware's, like, history and, like, everything that they're known for. And they just copied a trend in the industry and released a piece of shit that no one cared about. Do people still play?

It sold really well, apparently. I remember that trailer for it, the trailer with the water and people being like, whoa, the graphics. And I was looking at, like, yeah, but... Yeah, I was always... It would fucking look like that. Because I'd already gone... I'd already gone through the whole destiny thing with Bungy when that came out originally. so I was like really cautious now that

I don't know how they keep making the same mistake though like if you want to do this just release a full project and then have your season passes and stuff that people throw money at and have the updates and stuff why do they release a piece of crap every time but yeah like didn't it's the same of like full out 76 like it's just like this game no one fucking asked for and now like they're all following this trend

and they're rushing to get there so they all come out shit so it was never a trend I mean destiny was shit for ages yeah exactly that's what I mean it is but like it inspired all these other games and they rushed their games out to like catch up to destiny I guess

so they were released in similar states that destiny the trendsetter was criticised for yeah it's just stupid to compete with Fortnite just no one can't yeah well Fortnite's transcended games I haven't even

fucking said my goddamn games so I'm a loser I want to say my god damn him loser because I just want to get to the end because we already talked about I already talked about them anyway Jedi for an order we talked about it had my gripes what's your overall game of the year though overall game of it I'm not quite there I want to say

right before an order which was just the moment there was more than one melee enemy on screen it just became a little bit like tedious at times I suppose I'll deal with this now what is the game going to fucking do that irritates me I feel good to enjoy Sekiro then.

Nah, because Sekaro is actually finally crafted. Star Wars just felt a little bit like bullshit nonsense sometimes. It's like, well, come on, I dodged. Oh, come on. It definitely felt like a new thing they were trying. Yeah. And because of that, there are times where you just kind of have to like, awkwardly force your way through a fight. And it's like, I didn't feel like I did it in a way I would. I don't think I would have finished that game if it wasn't Star Wars.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I probably. But I'm glad I did, because the more you play it, the better it gets. Yeah, yeah, it was just earlier on in the game I was getting more annoyed by certain things And as... Yeah, yeah, navigation is pretty bad too Yeah, navigation is just shit actually The idea of revisiting a planet

To find things in it, it's just I did it at first Because I was like, oh, I just finished the game I want to fucking do it And then, no No, absolutely not The outer worlds was good I actually finished it

It was a rewarding RPG experience With... Short, you know, I mostly talked my way through the game didn't have to kill things very often. But when I did kill things, I actually did feel quite good to kill things. One weird thing, I kind of thought

that stealth was almost non-existent in that game, and it really... It just didn't seem like, you know, you could put a suppressor on a gun, and it didn't seem to do anything. I was a bit confused. I was a bit confused by it. I wish they'd refined that, like,

just sort of shooting and melee and not try to do all these different styles if none of them are going to feel that good yeah you know that's the main thing that I just shot my way through it like the story and stuff super engaging and like conversations yeah so itchy I'm sorry I just

like like whenever you get into combat it is kind of like yeah it feels good shut up no James you're just a fan boy I have a fan boy I played fire in three houses great game I thought it was good good game I haven't finished yet we really talked about a little bit I don't have too much say because it's just yeah and then the game of the year

Scooby Do Halo reach Fortunately for everybody The Witcher 3 was released again this year So the Witcher 3 is Game of the Year again Baby Woo Switch version

That incredible 480P version So yeah the Witcher 3 is Game of the Year again Fuck it Is that actually your game of the evening If I can fucking give Witcher 3 game of the year For some bullshit reason God damn it I will Yeah, it's a good-ass game

I'm surprised you didn't give it to reach Just to be annoying Yeah, fuck reach Because that's also re-released We're gonna stay on for an extra half hour To talk about where reach is shit To talk about why reach is such a bad game Go ahead

No, I'm, I'm... I'm saying over the last few months I've started to give you more Because it is overweighted But you haven't played it Yeah, so have I What the fuck are you rowing? Holy fuck.

Bebo, scobri dope, poe. Haley reach is a mixed game, very strange, very much a product of being the end of a decade of games. It's like mixing six different types of poo-poo together. And the multiplayer is a little bit fucked, and it only works properly in like one game type, and it's a little just bit annoying most of the time in other way. but it's still kind of fun in a halo way

it's still fun in that halo way because it's got the vehicles and the physics are kind of wacky still let's go through the late three things that are in the game invasion there's

campaign multiplayer and firefight and forge and theatre forge I won't count theatre because that's not fun we'll consider them like the creative package because remember that's what made that game so good at the time

so forge forge awesome Yeah, not the best that's ever been, but... A bit is better than the other ones. No, Bungy fucking removed the ability for grenades to be something that constantly respawn over and over, so it was impossible to play that game mode where one guy had the grenades, and then everyone else was trying to run them over. Okay.

So they ruined Forge. Bye-bye, Forge. Right. Firefight, shit. It always has been shit. Multiplayer shit. Campaign had one good mission. Oh, don't be a hater.

No, the campaign didn't have one good mission. Yeah, there was two. That's more likely. Campaign's really fun, but... I really like the first one, which is a cutscene, and the last one where if you throw a grenade at the floor, it ends. Those are my favorite missions.

No, the campaign is the best thing about the game. But, yeah. Yeah, and then Invasion is the best multiplayer thing, just because it's... No, big team battle, bitchies. Yeah, because it's the most reflective, I guess, of what the game was kind of could do.

No, it was unbalanced and shit. It felt like the gameplay was designed for invasion and the campaign they did. And then the rest of everything else just sort of forced in to work. The same way they did with Halo 1 where it's just like, uh, multiplayer is...

Let's just put this in this game. For a laugh. Yeah. And then it became epic. Okay. Hey down on that Halo Reach? Yep, can't bother any more. Looking forward to Halo 2 anniversary being on PC.

That'd be good. No. James, I forgot you smashed that fucking glass. Yeah. To make sure you get all the pieces for the poor dogs. Do we have any more, um... Wait, let me check if I got... Mediums?

There's one more category. Is it? TV shows. Yeah, shows. Oh, well, I didn't fucking watch anything, so... You're not watching it? anything. You have watched some. I've watched the Mandalorian and I haven't finished it yet

so I don't think of anything you watch Game of Thrones Oh yeah, well yeah that was a shit season TV game of Thrones was good for a long time Oh I watched The Witcher And it ended? Yeah the Witcher

I have watched some TV shows then Yeah you just forget I watched Stranger Things Yes that was shit It was shit Stranger Things season 3 Was that this year Yep.

I think I preferred it over the last two seasons, if I'm being honest. Yeah, it's definitely better than season two. Season two is really weak. Season one is much better than season three, though. Was it this year? Yeah, it was this year. Yeah, it was this year. Yeah, I thought it was like the same quality as it's pretty much always been, to be honest.

It's just like a dumb, like, just 80s inspired. It's worse than what people, like, say it is. Yeah, definitely. you know yeah but it's it's it's just like indicative of the 80s circle jerk that's going on in pop culture yeah i guess it's kind of at the tail end of it though because that the 80s circle jerk has been going for a while now yeah and it's like gradually building up to the point where everyone's starting to get sick of it um so i don't know how long it has but yeah i thought the monster was way better than it's been before yeah i've never liked the monster and it's

such a big part of the show that like it was lame to me that the monster was always so always bad just bad cg like it's the first time i was like oh that's kind of a creepy idea for this like monster it was way more fitting with that 80s theme thing i always thought it would be way cooler if they committed to like if you're just going to like make the thing anyway why don't you do like all the practical stuff that made it good like in the reason everyone jokes off the 80s but like they don't have that passion you know all this stuff is like an 80s facade and people

people like stranger things but they don't like the real like 80s like the thing sorry I just was going through yeah because that's just the way it goes isn't it but I now know what I have seen

yeah I like watched it over two days and was like okay it's a new season of that one done yeah it's always something I kind of look forward to because just how easy it is to watch season two I did hate there for the most part

season two was definitely the way weakest season There was no episode in season three that I was like, wow, I fucking want to turn this off. So that was something. But I think season one is probably still the best season of the show just because it was,

I found it less annoying than I did with season three. So I never find it annoying really, apart from that one episode in season two. That is just so terrible that one episode. But yeah, the Dark Crystal Netflix show is really good. Yeah, I still need

to watch that. I enjoyed that a lot and it's really creepy. in a good way. Bojack as well as... Well, this is like Netflix stuff. Bojack's really good. Did you see the new season, Rubin? No. Half season.

That's worth watching. I didn't finish the previous one. I got to the very last episode. Oh, right. I watched like four seasons of it, and I was just so late. I just couldn't do it anymore. I stopped being able to keep watching it.

My favorite, though, has been Mind Hunter, probably. I watched that as well. With Mr. Robot up, up his ass close. I haven't finished that yet, so I don't know. If it's going to ultimately be better or not. I totally forgot for there was a season of Mind Hunter. I have watched TV shows. It was really good.

I just forget that I've watched them. I was starting to think that another season wouldn't ever come out. It's gone then. But then suddenly it was just like, there it is. Fincher directed a couple episodes and they were amazing. It's just a great bit of TV, especially like to make up for that House of Cards final season.

Do you watch that, Rubin? No. Oh, boy. I did read all about. what happens in it and I watched the final scene of the show on YouTube I don't even remember the final

actually I sort of it's bad terrible yeah so what about a Mandalorian then it's mixed definitely mixed it ranges between

fun and well like lame I It's not very cool But the Mandalorian's cool Sort of

I'd say it has cool things about it There's one cool thing That happens in the whole show When he like rolls into a basket You mean the Mandalorian being cool himself Not just like Ships and planets And yeah

Yeah I think baby It's kind of cool It's quite baby though That's quite baby in a Saturday morning cartoon Yeah it's baby but also weirdly mature at points as well. It kind of gives me... It's because Star Wars fans are that.

Yeah. They're kind of baby, but they can be quite mature sometimes. You have to have a sense of humor if you want to be a Star Wars fan. Yeah, it's so stupid, like... Yeah. I'm not saying this... I mean, apart from the bad episodes, I like the style of the show. Yeah.

I guess I'm the most positive on it then, because... There's one episode I thought was just so bad. that I find it hard to watch. But aside from that, it ranges from, like, just serviceable to pretty good at points. The strongest things about it are, like, the things they introduced earliest on.

It was just that one episode, the fucking prison ship episode. And it's just like, they just introduce, like, a new character, who's not really anything important, but then it'll be played by someone who's just terrible, and they're terrible,

and they ruin the whole episode. And I'm talking about the prison episode with the person who played somebody in Harry Potter, and was terrible in that as well so they just did the same thing they're just like being crazy lady character it's like

it's like it's just it's just not cool or intimidating uh she's um she's one of the good guys does she have like the colored hair

in the book yeah tonks her hair changes color in the books yeah it does in the movie as well does it yeah man in the Mandalorian she is awful

just I remember saying to Alex like this is the one worst. Yeah. Like, whenever she's on screen, this is just the worst.

And then in the episode for the last 10 minutes almost goes in a direction I like where it's, well now the Mandalorian is going to be the horror movie monster and dispatch all these people. Yeah.

But even then, he gets his fucking ass beat most times he tries to do anything. Yeah, that's what I mean about him not being that cool. Like, don't you think it's good though

to start with him being shit and then maybe by season three he is actually like unstoppable. Maybe, yeah, it's just the thing is he's already established himself from the

art as being pretty like he can handle himself with anyone pretty much yeah because like you need that thing like tom cruise in the latest mission impossible where he's really good but he still like gets beat up no i agree but there are so many situations that are like you like you haven't learned how to deal with this problem some bullshit has just happened yeah yeah yeah that's what's annoying that he seems to just win through luck yeah yeah i get a bit bored because fucking Tom Cruise he wins just through being Tom Cruise yeah he well but like he

you can see he really tries yeah you know well it's really hard to display any sort of like emotion when you're like inside a suit of armour his you're limited somewhat

yeah you can bring them in warm you can bring them in cold it doesn't matter baby Yoda's in it and therefore it's a ton yeah and he is seriously without baby Yoda the show would be nothing yeah yeah I refer to it now as like

I sort of gel it. Yeah, anyone seen Babyoad episode seven or whatever? Yeah. Episode seven was actually the prison episode, so. Was it? No, episode seven was the penultimate cliffhanger episode. That was a good one, set seven. Episode six was the prisoner.

Oh, so I really hate episode five. Out of the eight episode season, the story is only over about three, four. So it's probably only going to be about five episodes of the eight episode season with like this middle chunk. which I understand why they put there but the episodes are not that fun

baby Yoda basic setup yeah basically the Witcher show is better end of really yeah there's also the witcher show yeah do you want to talk about that because you've seen it like yeah yeah you finished it

yeah yeah yeah I really like it I mean again it's got some lame ass stuff it does have some lame ass stuff like really lame ass like lame lame would it annoy me because I'm like yeah but it's like

Lamer than the Mandalorian, did you say? There's one episode that is lamer than any Mandalorian episode. Which one is... The one with the dragon in it? Oh, that's super lame. That's extremely lame. You kind of make me want to watch it. Extremely lame.

Would I like it, though, not having no connection to the picture? I don't know. The first episode's kind of shaky, but there's like a few episodes early on that really won me over. I mean, if you go into expecting to, you know, maybe you think, I was a bit boring about the saving grace is that Geryl's going to flash his sort of bunch of times he does not really to me that would make it interesting it's really good the action's good on it when it does happen but it doesn't it's it's not it's not that frequent that gerald's flying around with silver sword but like what the mandolorean doesn't

have is like these little contained interesting stories all it has is the mandatorian looks cool and be yeah and they do some like and that's fine because i don't really pay much i'm not fucking really analyzing it when i watch it i'm just kind of yeah but the the witcher Because they're based off the, like, original stories, the original short stories. Yeah, it's pretty easy. There's actually some really cool, thought-provoking ideas in it. Yeah. And I think season two will be much stronger than season one, I can kind of tell.

No, they've proven themselves a bit, and everyone was watching it. Yeah, because it's just, it's a bit shaky, and then I was thinking, well, they'll work out everything they did wrong with this season, and they'll... Yeah, it'll be a bit more focused. Yeah. Okay. well that's that's most of the media I can think of of note yeah really for 2019 uh jar media a yeah what should we do regarding um our usual question question segment oh fucking there we could uh just fling through on a sort of lightning round thing and

yeah we've got 14 minutes left before this camera let's just fill it then with this roll stops so it does so the thread doesn't go to waste is just my thinking I can't look. I've read it would load that. Have you done talking about shit TV shows? Lick my ass. Only if you're done smashing glasses. You need to calm down today

before I break a glass over your head. I'm sure you have a lot of experience with that. That's just a salt. My balls are swollen. So, questions? Yeah, so if you want to leave your own questions, head over to the Jal Media Reddit. There's a suggestion thread there.

You can ask us whatever you're like on this merry time of the end of the year or new beginnings. Dick the Head says this. Now that the majority of the cast has seen the rise of Skywalker, I assume. Can you confirm that Babu Frick is just porny too? Who's Babu? Oh yeah, I didn't even bring up Star Wars. Why did you mention this when you're the only person who's seen it? Because it's a 2019 episode and Star Wars came.

out in between us recording episodes I know but you're the only one you've seen it's why do you asking that move on no because I want to say yeah I want to know who Babu is yeah there's a there's a there's a dibby in the movie that like when the film came out like there's nothing really to talk about apart from the dumb shit so everyone was like oh this puppet is good babu frick voiced by um moaning myrtle for real yeah and like it It's like a cool puppet or whatever, but it's like a plot device character. Oh.

So. Oh, baboo. It's better than porny. That's for sure, because it doesn't really get much worse than porny, really. What do you mean? Sorry, better. Yeah. Zelda Salamander has this for us.

What would be the worst or cringest thing a fan could do if they met you? Attack. Yeah. Would that be cringy, though? Yeah, that would be cringe. No, that would be funny. No, it wouldn't be funny. It would be funny.

It would be funny for them after I'd kill it. Yeah. Before we just go ape mode and just start killing. I'm tired. What the fuck is going on? I'm having to concentrate on. I'm keeping away. It's another question.

I've got to keep myself. Oh, yeah. This is supposed to be a lightning round. Yeah. Lego Minion sex says this. Steve Harvey himself approaches you to make a jar game show. what would you base it around and how would James eventually fuck the contractor um James and Harvey would have or Steve Harvey would have an affair

is he the one that revealed the wrong name yeah if you forget the names just like Steve Harvey yeah yeah um it'll be based on the chase no I'd prefer like a Takeshi's castle type thing oh yeah just manic energy yeah and obviously course or some bullshit that's just really ridiculous It's not like totally impossible But Tikesh's castle is absurd Dangerous as well

Actually dangerous Like not Not death Gonna happen Just hurt Just really bad hurt Yeah really bad hurt Yeah like

In a funny way though In a funny way Yeah like Funny being impaled But not to death No just Just to be hurt Yeah and left

9 incher B, B, Y has this for us Thoughts on becoming Thoughts on becoming old farts Fucking hell yeah Bring it on, let's go Let's do it I just don't want to get arthritis in my gaming finger I'm officially

When we open I'm having to I'm trying to think It's just it's always I always get a know If I'm given something that has no practical use I don't know where to put it Oh chocolate footballs is my real answer

Did you get given a chocolate I got like a I got like 10 kilograms of Oh chocolate Really unpleasant cheap for me Yeah And you got to unwrap at each one individually Yeah

Cringmus out now. Dick the Head asks, how much of Total JAR content do you think has been dedicated to talking about video games versus dedicated to talking about movies? hopefully equal it's an equilibrium I'd say it's fairly equal

to be honest because every time we talk for Halo for half talk about Halo yeah think about all the times Halo Final Fantasy 13

excuse me the Witcher like there's Skyrim The Witcher is now both though so yeah there's not a Witcher movie yeah

whatever let it go it's a TV show we'll get it soon whatever yeah that would be kind of cute though

Young Callum asks Seeing you guys, mainly Alex, drinking fatchez frequently What alcoholic drinks do you guys enjoy most? Fucking spurn off ice in one go with the straw The most? Well, not this, not this, this is just... Shit. This is just here, you know.

At the moment... Want some famous grass? No. I think red wine at the moment. moment for me. Yeah, I like red wine and cider are my main favourites. I do enjoy ale, but I have to be in the mood. I have been enjoying recently when I've been at the pub. Guinness is my... Yeah, Guinness is a good winter one. If I can get it. Guinness is always yummy. Not too many, because then it's a little bit gross. And then, yeah, mostly whiskey at the moment

as the spirit that I drink. But I've also been enjoying, like, vodkas just with lemonade or something. But like... Vodka's not one I've really dabbled in before. Ideally, with ice, yeah. But just a vodka with lemonade or something is. Don't they say it's the purest alcohol or some shit? It's very, very, kind of easy. Can I know where you stand with it all the times?

Right. I think. It's reliable. Nasty stuff. Yucky and taste like mean. Thanks for that. What? Did you say it tastes like meme?

Meena. Meen. Are you fair? Yeah, what the fun? Yeah, you thick, you fucking thick, mate. Sorry, I'm a man, which means I can't multitask. Oh, wow. Bitch.

Let's end on this one from Holiday Jar, who says, What's something you really enjoy doing that most people would consider being boring? I don't know, I mean, I actually get the impression that there are lots of people who don't like cooking. Lots of people seem to find it as a begrudging actor. Right. But I like cooking. I don't know about them, again, because it seems...

Maybe that's quite even whether people like it, people don't. There seems to be one person I have, like, every couple, let's say, who likes cooking, you know, so... Death Stranding. Way. Okay. Yeah, video games in general. Yeah. I feel like a lot of people find, like, boring or the idea of...

Yeah, boring. Like, especially, like, when you think about when you're younger, the way you play games, like, the way I played Minecraft, for example. Like, that would definitely be boring. Yeah. For a lot of people. We did something like that. Some recently recently with Minecraft.

Wait, we were just, we were digging out that stupid thing. Yeah. Just sort of, like, exhausted me, hurt to do it. But I kept doing it. Yeah, maybe video games are something that lots of people would be like, how can you get joy from this? The thing is, nobody has the right to call it boring. Yeah.

Because, like, people do boring shit. You have to do boring things. People watch fucking TV shows, like Love Island. And I'm like, how can watch this? Is this not boring? For there to be not boring things, there has to be boring things. You know what I mean? Yeah.

But the thing, what I'm saying is, don't yuck another person's yump. Oh, fuck you. That's a good. You will be. I just came up with that on the spot. That's really smart. James, you've got a foot where my foot was hanging. Boom.

Now I haven't to move my leg back. Boom. I'm really upset. Hey, Pope. James, what the fuck? I just want to say, uh, Pope for 2019. Poop for President 2020. Poop.
