Hey Somethings!
The holidays have come and gone, James and I are rested up, and it’s time to get back to it!
This week’s blog touches a bit on some of my most enjoyable things from the end of 2021!
For starters, I got a new job. Pay’s MUCH more than my previous job. Feels like it’s even less stressful so… bonus all around!
I also did a fair amount of gaming towards the end of the year. Forza Horizon 5 dropped and, while the launch was buggy, I still immensely enjoy the game and play it daily. The big ‘sleeper hit’ for me was Inscryption. Is it a deck building card/video game? Yes. Is it SOOO much more than that? Yeeesssssssssssssss. Can I say more without spoiling a lot of things for those who haven’t played? Nooooooo. What I CAN say, if you’ve listened to us, and you enjoy our style.. you get a good sense of the type of people we are and the things we enjoy. If THAT entertains you, check out Inscryption… you won’t be disappointed.
For Christmas I set myself up with HBO Max and started going through a BUNCH of stuff I never got to see in theaters. While “Matrix Resurrections” is the big one, I won’t discuss that here as we have an episode coming out about it in the very near future. Besides Matrix, I also powered through “Godzilla vs Kong”, “Mortal Kombat”, “The Suicide Squad” and “Suicide Squad”. All of them.. solidly “meh” to be honest, with the exception of “The Suicide Squad” (the most recent one). Cena’s deadpan delivery as Peacemaker and Dastmalchian’s Polka Dot Man definitely elevated it above “meh” into ‘enjoyable’.
For TV? End of 2021 brought us Hawkeye (which I loved, ranks 2nd tied with “WandaVision” for me in MCU D+ TV) and The Book of Boba Fett. At the time of writing this, only the first episode has dropped so far but damn was it good and I loved how they connected it in to the greater Star Wars story and history.
We’ve got a bunch of new episodes lined up and we’re back to blogs every Friday.. stick with us! 2022 is going to be great!
