Almost Accurate

Listen up y'all- some real life shit is going on in the boys life. Ryan is about to have a kid at literally any moment and Jake is getting married in the extremely near future so, our upload schedule is going to be a bit hit and miss for the time being.Does that mean that we're skipping on the quality of our podcast? Well if you have a listen to this episode I think that the answer to that will be extremely obvious that it's exactly in line where it's been pretty much this entire time. Does that mean that some of the news items that we're talking about will probably be 1-2 old by the time that we're getting around to talking about them? You bet your ass they are. Disney, Nintendo, and Sony all had some pretty big press conferences about their future plans. Yes- literally all of this is old news at this point. If you're really tuned into this kind of stuff, you've probably already seen what they have on offer. But we try and recap most of it! Ryan also had a special request that we just couldn't refuse this week. Willy's Wonderland was his #1 movie of 2021 and we've finally got around to dedicating an entire episode to it- turns out it is VERY much worth it. If you haven't watched it before- give it a shot! It's dumb as hell, but man oh man is it a good time. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Fresh from a week off, Jake and Ryan are back and they've been watching some horror movies... mostly the horrors of being Elvis Pressley in Baz Luhrman's universe. We shudder to think what that would actually be like. Ryan has been watching The Perfection, the boys have both watched that horrible looking Winnie the Pooh horror movie trailer and much much more as they catch up on this week's episode of Almost Accurate!

Sadly no new episode this week folks.... looks like we're going to have to repackage the some old stuff and change a few things slightly and pass it off as an entirely new thing. But no one would ever try and do that. No gigantic company that has a mouse for a mascot would even dare to spend billions of dollars on a beloved franchise, try and change a few characters names and genders and attempt to recapture the magic of days gone past and produce something that people really enjoyed until they started to give it some critical thought and realize that they've seen something like that before. NAY! Nor would same gigantic corporate then take same beloved franchise that they gave what some people would call "a soft reboot" of old material and made a new thing, and then to follow it up actually make something that is new and interesting! That second attempt surely wouldn't turn out to be perhaps the best entry in beloved franchise that has been around for a while, but makes some angry people on the internet upset would they? Nor would said gigantic corporation then actually make the foolish mistake of listening to angry people on the internet and then follow up a great idea with a bunch of terrible bad ideas, fire multiple film directors, bring back the first director and then scour Reddit for some weird fan theories, throw all of that in a blender and make a third installment in a trilogy. NO ONE WOULD BE CRAZY ENOUGH TO DO THAT RIGHT?Anyways, sorry there's no new episode this week and we couldn't think of a good analogy so we just cut together our reviews of the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy. Hope you guys enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What’s up people! This week Almost Accurate is back to compare and contract two EXTREMELY different series. Couldn’t guess? Well no worries, it’s She Hulk and Only Murders in the Building! One is a well-established series that is concuding its second series on Hulu, and another is just barely getting underway on Disney +. Turns out, they couldn’t be more different and Jake and Ryan have PLENTY to say about how they turn out. It sure looks like a giant corporate like Disney sure can have different ways of approaching a series, don’t they?  Hosted on Acast.

Well well well.. if the boys haven't found themselves a room and if it isn't time to apparently talk about what the streets are saying is apparently the most WOKE movie of all time apparently, that's right, it's time to talk about Prey. Which in case you want to peer through all the right wing bullshit about this being a woke movie because it dares to depict a semi-accurate view of life in the early 1700's before English settlers had conquered what would become the United States, it's actually an interesting, fun take on what a Predator movie in the early 1700's would actually be like. Spoiler alert: it's fun. It's a wonderful, well- acted and well scripted movie and we are actually quite happy to have partaken in it. Apparent 'woeness" and all, Prey is a solid and fun action horror movie, and we honestly couldn't be happier to recommend it to you all! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Well the boys are back on Google Meet and if the world wasn't already a mess, so is DC. Seriously... what are they DOING over there? Batgirl is DONE. DC is going around to everyone's house and erasing their hard drives, everyone got fired, and no one is legally allowed to even say the word Batgirl anymore. That 10 year plan they're talking about? Don't hold your breath. Anyhow... enough about Warner Brothers suddenly merging with Discovery out of the blue, it's time for a spoiler chat on the excellent third season of The Umbrella Academy. Man what a show. Jake and Ryan break down the entire season, so enjoy our full-spoiler review of this treat. Hopefully back to in-person podcasting next week! We'll be talking Prey and hope we see all there 😎 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Happy Shark week! We don’t talk about Shark Week on this episode whatsoever, we just are trying to get into the spirit of the season. But good lord are there a bunch of new things to talk about! We’ve still been playing Stray and that game is incredible, and wraps things up witha delightful little ending. Sometimes it’s great to just kick back and pretend to be a cat for an afternoon. Makes for some great stories. And you’ll make a lot of robot friends in the process too! Umbrella Academy realeased their season 3 something like 14 years ago it feels like, and we’re finally getting around to watching it and talking about it! What an upward trajectroy this show has been on from that absolutely drab and lackluter first season to now! If you haven’t watched this show, don’t sleep on it. It’s amazing and season 3 is the best one yet! Marvel also detailed their upcoming Phase 5 and 6 and they will NEVER EVER stop releasing new content. We break down the entire list and nearly lose our voices in the process. Yeah, there was a lot to get through on this week’s episode. It’s a shame to still be over Zoom but that’s just the way it goes nowadasys folks. We hope to be back to some in person recording soon!  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

After a much needed break, Jake is back from France and he's brought home a lovely souvenir. That's right, it's Covid! So apologies in advance for both a) the audio quality of this episode and b) the overall horrible sound of one of the hosts voice, and their general overall grumpy demeanor 😂But it's not all bad news! Not all all- the boys have two VERY exciting things to talk about in this week's episode. Stay is out (and it's free depending on which confusing tier of PlayStation Plus that you're currently subscribed to) and it's a very vibe and fun game where you get to play as a cat running around an abandoned, post-apocalyptic city. Sounds pretty great right? We certainly thought so. We're also a couple of weeks behind but it's time to talk full spoilers for all of Amazon's The Boys Season 3. Man oh man, what a great show. If you haven't watched it yet, get caught up and listen to our thoughts. And go play Stray as well!!! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this episode Jake and Ryan dive head first (and perhaps other parts of the body first) into some more of The Boys Season 3, and the Obi-Wan Kenobi finale. Both of which are great, and man oh man is it a relief to finally be talking about things that are GOOD. No joke, we literally are in a golden age of good stuff coming out in the TV format and we are so lucky to be able to finally have new stuff that is good and new and man, what a great time to have a podcast. Nintendo had a mini-direct where they announced stuffed that we've already played like Persona and Mega-Man but if YOU haven't played them yet you really should (because they've awesome games and come on... you really got something better to do right now?) But once again, strap in, and buckle up because we've got some hot takes and we're just happy to have you all along for the ride this week on Almost Accurate! Hosted on Acast.

This week the boys return with a new episode full of NEWS! How much new stuff are we talking about??! Well since we missed last week we have some content to catch up on, but there's plenty (a few) new things to talk about this week. How about that Lyle Lyle Crocodile trailer that just dropped? Looks good doesn't it (not really) How about how one or both of us thought it might actually be a continuation of the Loki extended universe and not a property in the public domain that Sony decided to appropriate and turn into a new musical franchise? But.... even with that potential disappointment, there are still plenty of new stuff to talk about! Square Enix is really trying to squeeze all they can out of the Final Fantasy 7 franchise by finally releasing a few scant details about Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and offering an entirely different (and new) take on a Final Fantasy 7 remake, with Final Fantasy 7 Ever Crisis! Hey, we wanted a mobile version that's kind've a cross between the remake and the original right....? That's what we asked for... right?? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
