◼   ► some genius realized they can get the [TS]

◼   ► entire show under written by having it [TS]

◼   ► entirely be advertisements so there are [TS]

◼   ► two of like the eight episodes sponsored [TS]

◼   ► by macy's and they're designing macy's [TS]

◼   ► think we're watching people figure out [TS]

◼   ► how to advertise macy's to you [TS]

◼   ► and then there's a hot topic episode it [TS]

◼   ► I enjoyed that show partly for its [TS]

◼   ► audacity and pretending to be a [TS]

◼   ► television show but also its was [TS]

◼   ► interesting seeing people seeing the [TS]

◼   ► conflict some of the contestants had [TS]

◼   ► between making a window display that [TS]

◼   ► will please the eye and making a display [TS]

◼   ► that will sell the product there was one [TS]

◼   ► guy on the show i'm pretty sure was just [TS]

◼   ► a visual artist it doesn't actually work [TS]

◼   ► in advertising and I was gonna say my [TS]

◼   ► favorite movie of the year was probably [TS]

◼   ► Zootopia which is weird because the [TS]

◼   ► first time i watched utopia I got super [TS]

◼   ► bored didn't finish it the first time I [TS]

◼   ► watch it I was viewing it as a buddy cop [TS]

◼   ► movie and it seemed really by the [TS]

◼   ► numbers and boring the second time i [TS]

◼   ► watched it I realized it was a film noir [TS]

◼   ► and a love story and I really really [TS]

◼   ► liked at that time I think that's it [TS]

◼   ► alright and i hated everything else ok [TS]

◼   ► good okay except things that will bring [TS]

◼   ► up in the talking about our podcast [TS]

◼   ► Steve what are your favorite things [TS]

◼   ► nothing ok moving on let's move on now I [TS]

◼   ► actually did write some things down [TS]

◼   ► I so although it's not as extensive list [TS]

◼   ► this year for some reason I'm not sure [TS]

◼   ► why but I did like some things this year [TS]

◼   ► top thing on my list is the now hear [TS]

◼   ► this podcast festival well I look [TS]

◼   ► forward to for weeks and weeks and it [TS]

◼   ► did not disappoint the festival was the [TS]

◼   ► festival but given the opportunity to [TS]

◼   ► people and a couple of the other folks [TS]

◼   ► Aaron Mackie from lure was really [TS]

◼   ► enjoyable and gave me a new appreciation [TS]

◼   ► for the podcast community which I didn't [TS]

◼   ► realize I was part of internal yeah i'm [TS]

◼   ► going to hear this and now it turns out [TS]

◼   ► i am so there you go [TS]

◼   ► things that were not podcast festivals [TS]

◼   ► many books this year I don't think [TS]

◼   ► unless it was going through my old [TS]

◼   ► Calvin and Hobbes collections just to [TS]

◼   ► soothe myself but movies wise best movie [TS]

◼   ► I saw this year was actually a movie [TS]

◼   ► from 2014 which buy new things standards [TS]

◼   ► is actually basically brand-new I best [TS]

◼   ► movie I saw here was the babadook which [TS]

◼   ► is a Australian I almost hesitate to [TS]

◼   ► call it a horror movie because it's [TS]

◼   ► really more of a psychological thriller [TS]

◼   ► although it is kind of a monster movie [TS]

◼   ► in a way but it is a wonderful film that [TS]

◼   ► i recommend to even non-horror people [TS]

◼   ► basically it's about a single mom who's [TS]

◼   ► husband actually died on the way to [TS]

◼   ► deliver their young son who is now I [TS]

◼   ► think seven or eight years old and he is [TS]

◼   ► kind of a handful he's probably [TS]

◼   ► somewhere on the spectrum and he keeps [TS]

◼   ► her awake night after night and he gets [TS]

◼   ► in a lot of trouble at school and she's [TS]

◼   ► basically kind of at her wits end and [TS]

◼   ► about to lose it anyway and then they [TS]

◼   ► run across a book one night I that just [TS]

◼   ► appeared from nowhere called the [TS]

◼   ► babadook which introduces this monster [TS]

◼   ► called the babadook who when you let him [TS]

◼   ► into your life he you'll wish you were [TS]

◼   ► dead and you can never get rid of him [TS]

◼   ► and her son freaks out and obsesses over [TS]

◼   ► it and soon enough sure enough the [TS]

◼   ► babadook turns up at the house it's I [TS]

◼   ► don't want to go into too much detail on [TS]

◼   ► it because it's a really complex and [TS]

◼   ► very a kind of subtle plot that's not [TS]

◼   ► entirely about the monster although yet [TS]

◼   ► you can kind of today determine for [TS]

◼   ► yourself how much the babadook is a real [TS]

◼   ► monster and how much it's something that [TS]

◼   ► is is more of a metaphor but it's really [TS]

◼   ► really good [TS]

◼   ► I consider probably one of the best [TS]

◼   ► horror movies I've seen in the last 10 [TS]

◼   ► years and maybe one of the best movies [TS]

◼   ► i've seen in that long just a solid film [TS]

◼   ► beautifully acted wonderfully directed [TS]

◼   ► very inventively filmed and I recommend [TS]

◼   ► it it's good stuff here like the sixth [TS]

◼   ► person to tell me how good that will be [TS]

◼   ► as I really need to see it I kind of [TS]

◼   ► just sort of [TS]

◼   ► randomly picked up after hearing a [TS]

◼   ► couple of people recommended i don't [TS]

◼   ► know it wasn't overly hyped to me so [TS]

◼   ► hopefully that won't impact you do much [TS]

◼   ► but I just sort of randomly turned it on [TS]

◼   ► because it i noticed it on netflix and [TS]

◼   ► it's still there by the way if you want [TS]

◼   ► to stream it and I was shocked at how [TS]

◼   ► good it was the people that had told me [TS]

◼   ► about it really undersold it so it's [TS]

◼   ► there's there's very little gore in it [TS]

◼   ► so if that's not your thing you know [TS]

◼   ► there you go [TS]

◼   ► although i know there are people out [TS]

◼   ► there for whom seeing animals put in [TS]

◼   ► peril is worse than seeing people [TS]

◼   ► eviscerated and if you're one of those [TS]

◼   ► there's a scene in this that will be [TS]

◼   ► very difficult for you so you should be [TS]

◼   ► prepared for that but it's not graphic [TS]

◼   ► so at least there's that [TS]

◼   ► anyway wonderful movie i will say that [TS]

◼   ► the babadook looks incredibly cool like [TS]

◼   ► the creature itself [TS]

◼   ► man i love that creature design it is a [TS]

◼   ► good design i also really enjoyed [TS]

◼   ► Zootopia like Monty I think that said I [TS]

◼   ► always root for disney animation because [TS]

◼   ► they've been having their lunch eaten by [TS]

◼   ► pixar for the last 10 years or so and [TS]

◼   ► every time a Disney film comes out I'm [TS]

◼   ► always like come on maybe this will be [TS]

◼   ► the one that's as good as Pixar and then [TS]

◼   ► oh no not quite sorry but you get closer [TS]

◼   ► and I think Zootopia finally did it [TS]

◼   ► they finally made a computer animated [TS]

◼   ► movie that I put on a level with Pixar [TS]

◼   ► it's I i really enjoyed the story I [TS]

◼   ► liked all the various threads that were [TS]

◼   ► going on throughout the plot [TS]

◼   ► I think it's a very effective commentary [TS]

◼   ► on racism and bullying and a variety of [TS]

◼   ► other things and it does that without [TS]

◼   ► being remotely on the nose which i think [TS]

◼   ► is a far more effective way to pass that [TS]

◼   ► message on to kids and hit him over the [TS]

◼   ► head and I really really enjoyed it I'd [TS]

◼   ► like to go back and watch it again soon [TS]

◼   ► it's got some transcendently stupid [TS]

◼   ► jokes too [TS]

◼   ► that's true too yeah it's funny as well [TS]

◼   ► and it does both without breaking a [TS]

◼   ► sweat [TS]

◼   ► let's see i play some games last year i [TS]

◼   ► think i was happy because i just [TS]

◼   ► finished fallout one this year finished [TS]

◼   ► fallout 2 so there's that [TS]

◼   ► well as good as fallout 1 it was too [TS]

◼   ► long and it was buggier and I have [TS]

◼   ► filled real difficulty with RPGs that [TS]

◼   ► your buggy because I never know if that [TS]

◼   ► guy died because I screwed up or because [TS]

◼   ► this the person who wrote the script to [TS]

◼   ► govern that character screwed up and so [TS]

◼   ► it was overall entertaining but it was [TS]

◼   ► too long and now I moved on to fallout 3 [TS]

◼   ► and I'm about 50 hours into that and [TS]

◼   ► I've barely scratched the surface and [TS]

◼   ► I'm loving every minute of it [TS]

◼   ► it is a basically as expected is [TS]

◼   ► basically elder scrolls in a [TS]

◼   ► post-apocalyptic universe with guns and [TS]

◼   ► mutants instead of swords and trolls and [TS]

◼   ► it is absolutely wonderful idea i love a [TS]

◼   ► game where I can just kind of randomly [TS]

◼   ► explore things and I feel like it i can [TS]

◼   ► drop into the subway tunnel that's [TS]

◼   ► totally not part of the main plot but [TS]

◼   ► there's a whole like a you know a group [TS]

◼   ► of people who think they're vampires [TS]

◼   ► living down there that you just sort of [TS]

◼   ► run across and you spend several hours [TS]

◼   ► just kind of talking to all of them and [TS]

◼   ► doing side quests for them and then you [TS]

◼   ► move on to something else and I don't [TS]

◼   ► find that very very compelling although [TS]

◼   ► it is in a min credible bear to get [TS]

◼   ► running on Windows 10 but i won't go [TS]

◼   ► into detail on that but that really [TS]

◼   ► needs to get their stuff together and [TS]

◼   ► come up with a patch to make it easier [TS]

◼   ► because it was a huge pain and actually [TS]

◼   ► i think i spent more time games wise on [TS]

◼   ► launch box this year than anything else [TS]

◼   ► which is basically a front-end for for [TS]

◼   ► all the emulators that you have laying [TS]

◼   ► around [TS]

◼   ► I've been into emulators for a long time [TS]

◼   ► playing on my old Atari and sega games [TS]

◼   ► and whatnot but something about I [TS]

◼   ► importing them all into into this [TS]

◼   ► front-end and downloading all of the box [TS]

◼   ► art and having all the boxes lined up [TS]

◼   ► the old seventies boxart that were you'd [TS]

◼   ► like the Atari box art from the [TS]

◼   ► seventies where I clearly somebody who [TS]

◼   ► smoked a whole lot of pot before they [TS]

◼   ► decided they were going to come up with [TS]

◼   ► the art for air-sea battle or basic math [TS]

◼   ► or whatever and something about just [TS]

◼   ► seeing all those boxes with their [TS]

◼   ► they're crazy seventies are all lined up [TS]

◼   ► side-by-side if you really wake ins the [TS]

◼   ► the kid in me who every time his mom [TS]

◼   ► dragged him to the mall i used to go [TS]

◼   ► running to that weird corner of sears [TS]

◼   ► where they inexplicably stocked atari [TS]

◼   ► games right next to the hardware just so [TS]

◼   ► I could stare longingly at the shelves [TS]

◼   ► and and dream of playing all those games [TS]

◼   ► and so I really enjoyed that I played a [TS]

◼   ► lot of old games and they kind of [TS]

◼   ► started an unofficial quest now to play [TS]

◼   ► every single console game made before [TS]

◼   ► say like 1995 for the PlayStation era [TS]

◼   ► love it when a writer can do that where [TS]

◼   ► you absorb this thing that they're [TS]
