9ES365: YEAR ONE

So Sarah broke her leg pretty badly a few weeks ago so we kick this episode off with our first hand experiences with the Quebec healthcare system. You know, the Quebec healthcare system that Scott works for? I guess we’re kind of experts on the subject.

You heard it here first, this podcast is a medical drama now.

Against my better judgement I watched about 10 minutes of UFC Freedom 250 (it was in between periods of Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final). It was… something else. From some jackass yelling “Michelle Obama is a man” to chants of “Fuck Him Up!” ringing out across the White House lawn it was pure Idiocracy.

Meanwhile, Danhausen is an actual dark magician and the Knicks win the big NBA award trophy thanks to his dark powers. If I asked you, what is the name of the NBA Championship trophy, what would you guess? I’m sure Scott knows the answer. I had to look it up. It’s technically the Larry O’Brien Championship trophy. You heard it here first.

Keith is almost done with Euphoria Season 3 and it’s a heck of a left turn. It’s honestly pretty good, but has almost nothing to do with the first two seasons. It’s kind of like in Season 8 of Archer when they’re suddenly in 1947 Los Angeles. It’s got the same characters but it also really has very little to do with everything that came before.

Over on Garbage Time Jon makes the argument that The Matrix should probably be at the very top of The List and he might be right. It (along with Alien) could definitely jump a few spots. We finish things off talking about whether or not Ridley Scott is a fraud and close off with Scott’s recent viewing of The Thing as a family affair.

Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

Part of me loves the fact that other podcasts try their best to stay up to the minute with pop-culture references and current events and our podcast sometimes talks about movies like Meet the Spartans for 20 minutes.

And it’s not like this show is JUST a bad-movie podcast or something, so who even knows why any of this resonates with our audience.

But every month we get a good little number of people downloading the show so, we must be doing something right?

I’m not going to lie, a decade ago when we started up this website a tiny little part of me was like “yeah, we’ll be like Vice!” So it’s a little sad to me to see it’s demise in 2023. But hey, we’re still going strong – take that Vice!

Seriously though, the company was once evaluated at nearly $6 billion is likely going to be sold off for parts to the tune of $225 million. Bummer.

Finally, if I could recommend taking a look at this video to understand the pure lunacy people are getting up to in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. I’m not sure but I don’t think Nintendo envisioned Link rolling around Hyrule in a tank when they designed this game, but the fact that they designed a game where you could make that exact thing happen is a true testament to their mastery of video game design.

Meanwhile over on Garbage Time we dive haphazardly into the filmography of Guy Ritchie and Keith talks about Scott Snyder’s “The Batman Who Laughs”. If that sounds like your cup of tea (since you live in a castle now) – then show your support and head over to Patreon and subscribe at the 9ES Deluxe tier to listen to this and all past episodes of Garbage Time!
