Godzilla is such a pop culture icon that we thought it would be a great idea to dive into some of his more iconic outings this month on Behind the Hype, starting with the third film in the series: King Kong vs. Godzilla. Apart from one problem spot, the film is quite a delight and features everything fun you would expect from a showdown of two pop culture titans.
Roll for initiative because Brok is gone and Jon from the ATH Network and Demon Dayz has taken over. In his infinite Dungeon Mastery wisdom, he has decided to showcase the episode he was on with Mike from the Funnie Papers Podcast where they talk about – you’re not going to believe this – BEING A DUNGEON MASTER. Hell yeah. Now how do you turn this podcast thingy on?
Special Thanks to Jon ’cause suck it Brok. Heart emoji. Kissy face. Flame emoji.
Welcome to another exciting episode of Binge Buddies, with co-hosts Bryan Dressel, Joel “Leon S. Kennedy” DeWitte, and Matt “Zombie Dog” Dykes. Our heroes have reached the second movie in what they’ve coined the “Umbrella” trilogy, as part of their “Alice in Zombieland” series. The movie this week? Resident Evil: Retribution. It’s the cinematic equivalent of eating a sandwich made of bananas “about to go” between two slices of french toast. Enjoy!
Frick. You know what? I forgot to toss out a “Guess the Still” this week. Makes it about the second or third week in a row I’ve forgotten to do that. You know what I haven’t forgotten? All the great content out this week.
Nice.

We’ve reached the end of our month on Sion Sono and to wrap things up we’ve picked quite the heavy film: Guilty of Romance. There’s a lot to unpack with this film, about the role of women in Japanese society and the lengths they will go to break free from said pressures, or in some cases become consumed by them. As we were short a woman on this episode to give some perspective we tried to instead focus on the things we learned from the film and the themes that resonated with us versus trying to speak to Japanese culture and how it treats women.
Of course, with a filmmaker like this it’s worth looking into the themes he plays in and we found an interesting article to be our guiding star through this month.
Fallhold has gone through many owners throughout the history of Valderian, and if our intrepid heroes decide to stay and if they can clean out all the undesirable elements, then the place is theirs. Should probably deal with all those vines.
Not just a bit but all of Tetra stops by to talk about special edition consoles. We cover the ones from our childhood as well as how Covid-19 has affected the price of SEC. Download and enjoy!

RESIDENT EVIL….IN 3D!!!!! Bryan, Graham “Chris Redfield” Mason, and Matt “Zombie Dog” Dykes dive right into the third dimension – did we mention this was in 3D – with Resident Evil: Afterlife as part of our “Alice in Zombieland” season. And did we MENTION TO YOU THAT THIS WAS IN 3D? Anyway, Graham takes a lot of time to break down this movie. Or was it Wentworth Miller? finger guns
