Almost Accurate

On this episode of Almost Accurate, the boys urge you to keep you heads down and don't look up at the sky, at the giant-ass comet Dibiasky that is currently hurtling towards the Earth, that is threatening to end life as we know it. No... instead, why don't you slip some headphones into your ears and listen to Jake and Ryan let you know that all of it is (probably) going to be okay....That's right, this week the boys are finally tackling what is apparently the most controversial movie Netflix has released in the past few months, Don't Look Up, which has some people unnecessarily upset over something that seems like a fairly accurate depiction of what it would be like if the Earth were... oh I don't know... facing an actual crisis on a planetary scale that would suddenly require a lot of people to come together and act as one and sacrifice for the common good? Anyways, it's probably a metaphor or something right? Almost Accurate is a weekly pop culture podcast hosted by Jake and Ryan who review the latest in Movies, TV Shows, Video Games, and more.

Jake and Ryan are back and they're back on Zoom! Ryan has had plenty of time recently to catch up on all sorts of media, watching Marvel's Eternals, The Righteous Gemstones, and of course a healthy does of King of the Hill. Jake has been playing PLENTY of Nintendo's 51 Clubhouse Games and it's finally time to talk full spoilers for Dexter New Blood! Pour one out for a real one, RIP Bob Saget. Almost Accurate is a weekly pop culture podcast hosted by Jake and Ryan who review the latest in Movies, TV Shows, Video Games, and more.

We're two dudes that are over 30 years old, so we well remember a time when people used to use #TBT every Thursday to post a picture they took about 2 and half weeks prior. It was brutal time to be on social media. Anyhow... in lieu of new contact for all of you this week, we're releasing another compilation episode. This time we're throwing it back to early 2019, and focusing on the best of episodes 16-20 (you know, like it says in the title up there. Just look. Like right up there.) The boys discuss Netflix's somewhat ambitious and also somewhat low on quality production of BlackMirror: Bandersnatch (a personal favorite that I actually forgot that we did a review of) Happy Death Day (which is great), Glass (which isn't great), Solo: A Star Wars Story (which I guess it was a slow week, but a pretty decent movie it must be said), and another Netflix title- Velvet Buzzsaw. This was a particularly fun time period of the podcast because we really had no clue what we were doing (some folks would contend that we still don't) where we really just watched anything and reviewed anything we felt like, and just had fun overall. Also, the world wasn't quite the terrifying hellscape outside that it is at the moment either, so maybe we're just being nostalgic for a simpler time?? Enjoy this look back on the early days of Almost Accurate (because we all know you aren't scrolling back down the list that far) and enjoy each of our review sections, all cut together in this one package. We had fun cutting this together, and we hope you have fun taking a Velvet Buzzsaw down memory lane with us. Almost Accurate is a weekly pop culture podcast hosted by Jake and Ryan who review the latest in Movies, TV Shows, Video Games, and more.

OUR FIRST EVER ZOOM EPISODE This week the boys sit down together (remotely) and reflect on the year that was 2021, and look ahead with hope to the year that it currently is right this second (2022). The year that you the listener are currently listening to this in? Unknowable. We don’t know the future, and if we did, we probably wouldn’t be doing this podcast.  We got sidetracked there didn’t we? Lets start over: it’s time to celebrate the best (and some of the worst) of 2021 in relation to movies, tv shows and video games! Jake and Ryan break down their favorites of the year, and talk their biggest surprises, and biggest letdowns of 2021!  Almost Accurate is a weekly pop culture podcast hosted by Jake and Ryan who review the latest in Movies, TV Shows, Video Games, and more.

It's finally time for out last episode of 2021, and we cannot thank you enough for what a year it's been! Thankfully however, we have a VERY good movie to end the year on, of course you've probably seen by the episode title of course, it's time for us to finally talk about Spider-Man: No Way Home, and what a ride this movie truly is! There's plenty of space to talk about minor plot points that don't really make sense, or small things that if this was an exclusively Marvel owned property that they would do differently, but the simple truth is this: the boys are tired, and they don't like watching bad movies all that often. In fact, it's a relief when one of these large blockbusters come along and it's a true delight when they are a joy to watch rather than a chore. This is a movie that delivers and if you haven't seen it, and you'd like to, DO IT. It's one that's worth it in every sense of the word. That's it from the boys for 2021! Thanks for the ride, and we're looking forward to recapping the ENTIRE YEAR in the next episode, so tune in next week for our Year in Review! Almost Accurate is a weekly pop culture podcast hosted by Jake and Ryan who review the latest in Movies, TV Shows, Video Games, and more.

Well well well.... I suppose we all knew that this episode was coming at some point, but here it is. Jake and Ryan are here to lay down the law and talk about what it was like growing up as little kids in the South, and what Christmas meant to them (and of course by extension, what Christmas movies made an impact on them). So buckle up on a very revealing glimpse into the childhood of two kids that have had it pretty good, and what their top-five favorite Christmas movies are (here's a little spoiler for the following episode, you've probably heard some of these before, but nevertheless, they are still some stone-cold classics.) Almost Accurate is a weekly pop culture podcast hosted by Jake and Ryan who review the latest in Movies, TV Shows, Video Games, and more.

This week the boys have some Game Awards News to talk about. That's right, it's time for that annual night where we as video game fans sit down and watch a three hour plus awards show where most of it is dedicated to commercials but we still tune in each and every single year. There's a new Star Wars game afoot. Is it going to be any good after we saw that Quantic Dream logo at the end of it? Well if you like walking and talking and a couple of QuickTime events then you probably are going to. We also saw an amazing Arc Raiders trailer which looked greater, but we're still trying to decided whether that seemed like a fun game to play, or if it was just a wonderfully nostalgic Atari influenced piece of media. Also, what about Nicholas Cage playing Nicholas Cage in his new Nicholas Cage Movie, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (starring Nicholas Cage playing Nicholas Cage). Man, what a trailer that was. Also, that wall seemed small enough they both could've probably just walked around that. I'm sure that'll be addressed in the full movie. Almost Accurate is a weekly pop culture podcast hosted by Jake and Ryan who review the latest in Movies, TV Shows, Video Games, and more.

This week it's time to dip back into the batshit insane, redneck world of Tiger King. That's right people, those crazy folks down at Netflix actually scrounged together enough material to make a second season of what was once the biggest show in the world. So how does it all stack up? Does it reach the lofty heights of entertainment that the first season did? Does it launch at the literal most opportune time that it could (we can say no for that one). Is everyone that is involved in this one of the worst examples of humanity? (we can also answer this one as well).... Buckle in, get a fresh dip cup and snuggle up to a bear cub because this week the boys have a lot to cover, and you're not going to want to miss it. Almost Accurate is a weekly pop culture podcast hosted by Jake and Ryan who review the latest in Movies, TV Shows, Video Games, and more.

This week it's BIG NEWS TIME. What do the boys mean by big news time? Upwards of 5, that's right five news stories and two different media properties.... so yeah.. you all are really getting you money's worth at this point. Ryan watched about 2/3rds of Welcome to Raccoon City before sadly some technical issues intervened at the AMC theater, and Jake has watched the first two episodes of Hawkeye, now streaming on Disney +. How are they? Hey, you gotta listen to find out. Also Ryan ripped his pants in the middle of recording this episode and then continued to rip them so if we have any ASMR fans out there, you're in for a real treat at the end of this episode.... Almost Accurate is a weekly pop culture podcast hosted by Jake and Ryan who review the latest in Movies, TV Shows, Video Games, and more.

This week the boys have the honor of reviewing one of the most okay-ish movies they've ever had the preview of reviewing... that's right folks it's Ghostbusters Afterlife time!! Is this a film that delivers upon decades of nostalgia and classic film tropes to develop a satisfying sequel/reboot? Is this a movie that is more akin to the Stranger Things inspired horror/comedy movies we've seen in recent times? We'll let you be the judge of that but it's clear what Jake and Ryan think about this particular one this week....Almost Accurate is a weekly pop culture podcast hosted by Jake and Ryan who review the latest in Movies, TV Shows, Video Games, and more.
