00:01:50 — This Week Was Fucked
Michigan weather, power outages, headaches, work, and Mother Nature deciding everyone needed a beating.
00:07:21 — Only the Media Gloryhole Matters
Apparently jobs, children, and basic responsibilities are now secondary to podcast preparation.
00:09:24 — TikTok / Anime Titles Have Gone Too Far
Fake anime titles somehow become believable enough that we start wanting to watch them.
00:12:46 — Burger King Dragon Ball Z
Jason buys kids’ meals for the Dragon Ball toys, starts collecting Goku and Vegeta, and immediately gets dragged for how deep into weeb territory he’s gone.
00:14:07 — Honest Kids Apple Juice Is Apparently a Crime
Water briefly introduced to an apple and sold as juice.
00:17:50 — Jason Is Such a Good Weeb
Goku, Piccolo, Beerus, Ultra Instinct and the slow realization that Anime Month may have permanently damaged us.
RANDOM MEDIA & RANTS
00:22:38 — Gal Gadot / The Runner
A thriller premise so ridiculous Jason almost watched the movie purely to complain about it. Tony volunteers to take one for the team next week.
00:26:08 — Summer Rant
Tony admits he likes summer.
This was a mistake.
The conversation eventually reaches lions, snakes, heat stroke and why apparently no animal actually enjoys being hot.
00:35:50 — Halloween Stuff
Halloween decorations, Christmas lights and the proposed Halloween Glory Hole Podcast.
00:40:18 — Bar S Hot Dogs: Why Is This a Thing?
Even dogs apparently have standards.
WHAT WE WATCHED
ANIME HANGOVER
00:55:09 — Attack on Titan — Crunchyroll
Jason finally finishes Attack on Titan. What starts as comparing it to Monster turns into a much bigger discussion about storytelling, morality, secondary characters and whether Eren was ever really the point of the story.
01:01:38 — The 10 Best Attack on Titan Characters, Ranked — Collider
Jason’s first Collider list.
By the end, Attack on Titan earns a hell of a compliment: even after watching some of the best movies ever made, Jason feels the series belongs in that kind of storytelling conversation.
NOT QUITE THRILLER MONTH YET
01:17:21 — The Mandalorian and Grogu — Disney+
Not terrible. Just bland. Star Wars may officially be running out of flavor.
01:19:40 — The Nice Guys — Blu-ray
Ryan Gosling, Shane Black, detective noir and exactly the kind of funny movie needed after the previous week.
THRILLER MONTH BEGINS
01:20:44 — Clue — Paramount+
Better than remembered, Tim Curry remains fantastic, and slapstick mystery gets its moment.
01:26:53 — Se7en — Paramount+
David Fincher, atmosphere, John Doe and one of the all-time great modern thrillers.
Jason: 5/5
Tony: 5/5
01:44:19 — The Pledge — Tubi
Jack Nicholson and Sean Penn. Less about catching a killer and more about watching a man slowly fall apart.
4/5
01:52:00 — Dressed to Kill — Tubi
Brian De Palma doing very Brian De Palma things: style, suspense, sleaze and an ending that could only come from that era.
MGP MOMENTS
00:07:24 — “Your life doesn’t matter. Only the Media Gloryhole matters.”
Strong new employee handbook material.
00:14:08 — Apple-Flavored Water
Honest Kids apple juice gets reviewed considerably harsher than several movies we’ve watched.
00:15:04 — “Master Bing Bong”
Beerus briefly receives a new canonical Dragon Ball name.
00:17:10 — “I Need Help. I’m Ashamed of Myself.”
Jason realizing the Burger King Dragon Ball toy hunt may have become a problem.
00:20:54 — Jason’s Secret Anime Website
Tentacles.com becomes TentacleSenpai.com and things rapidly deteriorate.
00:24:39 — Solving The Runner in About Thirty Seconds
“Get to a park and run around.”
This apparently defeats the entire movie premise.
00:31:19 — Tony Likes Summer
Jason reacts normally by explaining the emotional state of every overheated animal in Africa.
02:13:49 — Se7en Is 20 Years Old
Correction:
It is 30 years old.
Everyone immediately feels worse.
