Hinge Problems: Recent Episodes
Chris Pinner, Rudie Overton
An hour-long discussion of war movies by 4 avowed leftists. A custom review system with every movie. War is bad, and yet movies show it, interesting. Previously: An obscure video games podcast.
Can you shoot flintlocks akimbo? Can love bloom on the colonial battlefield? Just how much product can you possibly find on the frontier?
We aren't going to even ask if Wes Studi owns because the answer is obvious.
All this and more as we discuss Michael Mann's The Last of the Mohicans.
Do you get dual pistols as you enter Hong Kong? How does evil happen? What even are numbers? When are screaming eagles appropriate?
For our 100th episode we review Hot Shots Part Deux.
What do you do with a drunken Gable? What qualifies as a submarine movie? Were you born on the 7th? We review Run Silent, Run Deep.
The next movie is The Last of the Mohicans (1993).
Do you believe in curses? What about traditions? Can love bloom in the bakery? Do you need to call your mother? For a belated April Fool's we sincerely get messy with a review of Moonstruck.
In just 3 hours you can watch 2 different war movies with the greatest actors of the time. What is the Brando theory of sitting? When is approptiate to forget your own character? How many vinowned.mp3 can we fit into one episode? We review The Young Lions.
The Next Movie is Run Silent Run Deep a submarine movie, finally.
Bonus Cast: The hosts go up against fifth generation fighters, how The Navy sees it, Tom Cruise's ego, and pulled papers.
How do you deal with a sicko for a tall ship? Would you discover evolution given the chance? Can you stop telling us you read the book? We all beat to quarters reviewing this warmovis.
The next movie is The Young Lions (1958).
When is a hostess club just a hostess club? Have you been skydiving? What are your plans on December 7th, 1941? Just asking. Our gaydar shatters from off the chart readings as we review From Here To Eternity.

When is a movie to pollyannaish? What do you do with a Gommer Pile? Whats the tensile strength of your podcast? As we review Three Kings.
The next movie is From Here To Eternity.
Our first time just reciting the plot. Stay for all the real Texas History! What happens when you just invent a guy? How do you prove you are military genius? Do you know who the greatest American is? It's not Sam Houston, the focus of this biopic. If you want to watch this one, look it up on bing!
The next movie is Three Kings (1999).
Between episodes enjoy this conversation about platformers and stuff Square Enix owned. 6 minutes is the exact right length to talk about video games.
After our brief dalliance with a failed videogame console, Warmovis returns to WWII, and the heroic exploits of the first African American combat flight squadron in: Redtails. As produced by George Lucas. We learn all about: The Sexiest Plane, How love can cross the boundaries of language via folded paper, The Dangers of Hard Spirits and MAURICE!
The Next Movie is Man of Conquest (1939)
We don't do video game podcasts anymore. To prove we don't we played and ranked every game for the 32X. Do you love Hornk? What's the back of your box say? Is the grass actually greener on the other console? Our next warmovis is still Redtails (2012).
special thanks for Ramona ( @lonelyfrontier ) and Closed for sitting through most of these games with us.
In our least jokes by volume episode yet we discuss what it's like to be in a Charnel House, ratioms, islambs, and how the Japanese have Haiku. This warmovis is a downer. It won't all be fun ones when you have a warmovie podcast.
The next movie is Redtails (2012).
While Rudie toils on editing Fires on The Plain, please enjoy this much lighter fare. How do you craft a child? When is it safe? Look out for Video Game spoilers because we don't do video game podcasts anymore.
April Fools! We take a break from warmovis to romanmovis. Can you opt out of the creative process? What is the Laughing Boner and Robbing Oscar? Can 1990s Hollywood be shown in Elizabeathen England? We review Shakespeare in Love.
We discuss how real a war movie can get when you accidentally hire actual mercernaries and James Bond for The Wild Geese (1978).

Crumpets, Remembering Sons, Birthday cards from World Leaders and more as we look at 1960's Sink The Bismarck!
The Next Movie is Wild Geese (1978).
Underwear captains, warcrimes, walks on the beach, warcrimes, and fighting in 3 dimensions come up as we review Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt December Sky. We don't even bring up jazz once!
The next film is Sink The Bismarck! (1960). It is not a submarine film.
Happy Holidays! We grouped watched a movie and enjoyed it so much we recorded it right then and there. With conspicuous gallantry, dumpers, and kissing pictures will we ever find the navy? find out as we review Wing and a Prayer (1944).
The Bridge At Remagen scheduled at date with the Allies and the Nazis on the same night. Will she able to balance the industrial-grade explosives, nazi revisionsim, and still make it in time to be battle-field promoted? It's a meat and potatos war movie as we review The Bridge At Remagen (1969).
The next film is Mobile Suit Gundam: Thunderbolt: December Sky (2016).
MacArthur was in charge of Pacific Operations in World War 2. This warmovis presents him as the greatest man to ever live. This cast thinks this movie and him deserve one 5 stars.
We all got issues with our dads.
The next movie is The Bridge at Remagen (1969).
At Hinge Problems HQ we tug at our collars as we release a review of The Battle of Algiers on the tail of recent world events.
The Next Film is MacArthur (1977).
Defend Mother Russia as we review the 1938 propaganda Soviet film Alexander Nevsky. Alexander is a (not) saint who repels the devilish Catholic Germans in the eve of the Nazi Germans invading Russia in World War 2.
The Next Film is The Battle of Algiers (1966)
We try not to sit on in any dogs as Tigress tries to not hurt anyone's feelings as we review the barely-Top Gun based comedy film, Hot Shots!
The Next Film is Alexander Nevsky (1938).
Can a man escape a lifetime of aimless war-fighting? Can pleated slacks look better? Punctuality is important as we review The Dogs of War (1980).

Terrence Malick's epic war film. Oh look the light through trees, waving fields of grass, where was evil born? Is that the podcast Hinge Problems where they review warmovis?
Rudie and Chris enlisted their friends Shrug and Tigress to discuss the war movie, Saving Private Ryan. A new step for Hinge Problems, but still the same show if it had segments, two more hosts, and was about war movies.

Try Virtuacast here: http://directory.libsyn.com/shows/view/id/59135
Chris talks Shadows of the Damned. Rudie talks Pier Solar. Neither of them want more video games but will probably still buy them.
This was recorded a long long time ago and we never uploaded. Please ignore the news that is wrong or has changed.
Cousin Chris is enjoying Hyrule Warriors. Cousin Rudie really really hates Dying Light. Will he give up video games?
Rudie sits down with James Howell (@adilegian) to talk a long time about The Evil Within.
Rudie is dissapointed in Dangan Ronpa. Chris wishes he had more strong opinions about specific RPGs.
We still aren't editing things that much, but that doesn't make us quicker to upload things. However, enjoy this supersized episode of Hinge Problems, featuring Rudie and Chris versus the world of Konami, and maybe a discussion of the MOST IMPORTANT videogame. Ever.
Really.
So we've decided we edit things too much. So we aren't doing that any more. No edits, just tag an opening and an ending on and away we go. So sorry if this is a little rough. But this is what we are doing. On this episode, Rudie and Chris tackle some weird otaku shit that the US is somehow actually getting translated, and then maybe the best spoiler about 999. Don't worry, we warn you about it. It's worth hearing though because WHOA.
Rudie and Chris talk about the Wii, and maybe some stuff that was OK for it. And probably some stuff that wasn't. Of course, they talk about other stuff as well because we never remain on topic here. Enjoy...?
Rudie and Chris dive into some recent games with some probably pretty offensive content, but then realize how dumb they are (not that stupidity is an excuse, really). Dragon's Crown, DmC, Resident Evil 5, and Lost Planet 2 get their time in the spotlight, especially Lost Planet 2. Go play Lost Planet 2. Do it.
Chris and Rudie try to untangle Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance and the franchise as a whole. If you've never tried this, you just have no idea how complicated it can get. Ganbare, Hinge Problems.
Rudie goes to Japan, and shares the fruits of his trip. We get creeped out by AKB48 too. This seems like the only possible reaction someone could have.

Rudie and Chris talk about Red Dead Redemption. We try to avoid spoiling it, but then we spoil it, but we give plenty or warning ahead of time, so you can bail out if you need to. We also talk about Chris's custom soundtrack for the game, and Rudie's best glitches in the game. And we get sidetracked, because we always get sidetracked.

In this episode, Rudie goes slightly pre-dumpster diving in the Gamestop PS2 bargain bins, which leads to discussions of Flipnic and a few other not-quite-notable games. Then Rudie and Chris settle into talking about one of the strangest, most wonderful game developers ever, Kenji Eno. He might be an alien, but that is A-OK.
In this episode, Rudie talks about actually enjoying the much-maligned Ninja Gaiden 3, and Chris talks about not really enjoying the rightfullly ignored White Knight Chronicles. The first time editing for Rudie, so let us know if you have any thoughts. We also introduce our new theme song, "Dreamcast", by Jerkbait.

The slightly delayed episode 4 is finally here. After a bit of digging around on the internet, we finally settle into talking about the Yakuza series: what is right, what is wrong, and what is just wonderfully silly. We even touch a bit on the ancestor of the series, the ever wonderful Shenmue saga, and how much we loved all of that. Spoilers abound, and we hope you like Goro Majima as much as we do.

In this, our first episode with a title for the podcast, we discuss the strangeness of the Ouya and Penny Arcade Kickstarter projects, and wonder when exactly everything Kickstarter related is going to fall apart. We also introduce a new segment of the show where we discuss games we are currently playing. Sound quality is a bit better, thanks to Chris getting a new mic, but it's still a work in progress, and that's OK.

In our second test run, with still no title at the time of recording, we sit down to talk about modern SquareEnix (though really only the Square side of it), focusing mostly on Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles: Crystal Bearers and Final Fantasy XIII (with some light touching on XIII-2). Still working out some sound issues, but hey, we might be getting better at this.

In a test run, we sat down on Skype and talked about The Atlantic's article The Most Dangerous Gamer. We'd like to think we say some things that aren't too stupid about all of this. Early issues crop up with mics, but maybe it works.
- Intro music: "Purity Soldiers" from the King of Soundtracks compilation, Disc 4
- Outro music: "Colored Rainbow (Stage 2)" by Manabu Namiki from the Dodonpachi DOJ/Ketsui OST
