I was going through my old voice memos and found an episode recorded on Feb 1st 2021, meant to be released shortly after the terminator episode. Ooops. I have no idea what this is about, but please enjoy it. New episode coming soon…I seriously swear.
We’re back after huge hiatus, and so is James Cameron! Hear my thoughts on Avatar 2 as I try to beat the traffic in scenic Raleigh, NC. Later in the program, hear my utter annoyance with James Gunn for his treatment of DC.
In this episode, I break down my dislike of the way the terminator films handle time travel, and discuss the ending of Brian Michael Bendis' run on Action Comics and Superman.
In this episode, BEEJ reviews the horrendously stupid film "The Predator," and gets carried away talking about his local librarian.
In the Season premire of VGTR, BEEJ discusses his newfound 2.0 persona, and reviews the film "The House With a Clock In It's Walls"
