Episode 39 - Chew on these Acceptable Conspiraries (10/23/20)

Tin Foil hat time! What's the weirdest but most acceptable thing you think is a conspiracy??

Attempting to recapture some of the topic magic from a lost episode (where we discussed Zack Synder and Justice League too), we dive into our favorite conspiracy theories that are also probably not that harmful.

Also, we highlight a horrible comic strip from the 1980s in a new, so far untitled segment looking at the Chinese martial artist hero Shang Chi. It's pretty crazy what comics get away with sometimes... Lastly, we have our favorite segment of this episode and every episode, our Picks of the Week.

Game Over Man! - Hades

It heats up this time for Game Over Man! as the guys take on Supergiant's newest delightfully fun rougelike, Hades.

The prince of Hades is trying to escape the very bowels of hell as his dad (and final boss man) disapprovingly looks on. Live, die, repeat in this experience where each playthrough is different with a wide variety of weapon and power combinations. Spoiler, we thought it was pretty darn good.

Episode 38 - The Duo's and Dont's of Free Internet Stuff (7/5/20)

This your daily reminder from Duo the owl to listen to Real Human Bings!

Why does free services on the internet often breed such vitriol? Can't we all be civil? Can you believe that some place as innocent as the language learning app Duolingo has a dark side to the comments section? Get ready for Aulden and Jacob to discuss what makes people entitled on the internet.

Also, we pitch some movies in one of our favorite segments, "Pitch it or Ditch it!" (Keywords: Avatar prequel and Rami Malek rom-com) Lastly, our favorite favorite segment, "Picks of the Week!"
