This week on The ReWind @darrenmooney.bsky.social, Marty, and I talk about the Super Mario Galaxy Movie.
Which asks a bold question:
"Can a movie devoid of any tension be entertaining?"
The answer is: "eeehhhhhhhhhh!!!!!"
Watch/Listen Here:
“Pizza Movie” (2026) is genuinely delightful!
An old-school Capital C comedy.
Great performances, amazing gags, bonkers execution!
Go watch it!
What was your favorite part?
The over-edited, generic action scenes or when they paused the movie to have a forced pop-culture conversation.
100% agree with you.
We have these creators coming up with interesting and quirky puzzle pieces to add a new dimension to.
Then these other guys just shoving those pieces in… even if they don’t fit.
In the 90s, a wave of “non-traditional movies broke into the mainstream.
Like:
Clerks & Reservoir Dogs
Creators like:
John Woo & Jackie Chan
Then there was the post-wave of movies emulating the style without the vision… they were bad.
“Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice” somehow pulls from that post-wave.
In about an hour @prettygrimgames.bsky.social and I will continue poking men... and they may or may not like it.
It is for them to decide but for me... to poke.

In about an hour @thejenna.bsky.social and I are wondering in the Lands Between.... together!
Trying out the Elden Ring Seamless CO-OP mod.

Your time is a valuable thing.
A good chunk of it is just simple... some men write women badly.
There's SO MANY examples of men writing women badly that I think you can skip this one.
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) is the rare sequel that makes the first movie worse.
I adds enough information to fill in character gaps that show exactly how little character there is in our women leads.
It makes the leads significantly dumber.
If you liked Ready or Not... stay away from 2!
Myself @prettygrimgames.bsky.social and @rexiconjesse.bsky.social are at PAX East all weekend. If you spot any of us, don’t hesitate to stop us cus we’d love to say hi!
In about an hour @prettygrimgames.bsky.social and I continue Poking Men... in Dark Souls 2.
Watch Here:
It's a tough one as a critic because it's a very good movie that DOES NOT paint outside the lines in any capacity.
In about an hour @darrenmooney.bsky.social, Marty, and I will be talking about Space Movies!
Mostly the overwhelmingly adequate "Project Hail Mary", a movie so charming and predicable that it's no wonder it is cleaning up at the box office!
Watch/Listen Here:
New Battle Masters!!!
It's a race across Hyrule, who can be the fasted Link?
Watch Here:
In about an hour @prettygrimgames.bsky.social and I are going back to Dark Souls 2.
Why? Because I couldn't think of anything else to play.
So we're going to try the BROKEN Rapier build to see how many men we can poke!
Watch Here:
That IS a selling point for the series!
I would be more excited for Daredevil: Born Again (Season 2) if it was titled...
Daredevil: Born Again (we'll actually finish the story this time!!!)
In about an hour I'll be streaming Slay the Spire 2... again.
But this time checking out it's multiplayer with @thejenna.bsky.social !!!!!
Watch Here:
Looking like next month.
We have a couple episodes ready to go, I'm so excited for you all to see it!
Last week I streamed Slay the Spire 2.
So this week, I'm planning on streaming the game that I've been playing in my free time... which is Slay the Spire 2.
Also Marty will be joining me!
Watch Here:
I could 100% see a remake.
This is what remakes are for!!!
No.
In about an hour Marty, @darrenmooney.bsky.social, and I will be talking... about movies and TV shows even... on The ReWind.
I'll be spending some time trying to articulate why Chainsaw Man is exactly why I dislike most anime.
Watch/Listen Here:
the DVD cover for the 1973 movie "Psychomania" Is features a couple people riding motorcycles with helmets that kind-of look like skulls. There's a pull quote at the bottom that read "The grooviest zombie biker movie of them all!" That quote is wrong... it's a very boring movie.
Psychomania (1973)
A biker gang makes a deal with a demon to become an UNDEAD biker gang so they can wreak havoc on a small town with their motorcycles!!!
...and it's the most boring.
Sometimes the problem digging through old B-movies is... they're just bad and not fun bad.
In about an hour @prettygrimgames.bsky.social and I will be playing Slay the Spire 2... literally the minute it comes out.
We might have to just tell stories for a bit while it downloads... I know how much you all hate that!
Watch Here:
In about an hour @thejenna.bsky.social and I are playing Risk of Rain Returns…
No really.
Actually.
Pinky promise!!!
Watch Here:
I'm not playing with mods.... I don't think.
I fought some guys in gold armor and he was there in a cage.
