The 14 year wait is over! So… what did we think of Incredibles 2 after all this time waiting for it? It’s complicated. In our lengthy discussion, we debate the merits and problems of the long-awaited Pixar sequel.

Bits Don’t Byte – Solo: A Star Wars Story

June 26, 2018

We began with a Star Wars movie discussion and now we bring you another one just six months later. It’s almost like they released two Star Wars movies really close together. But that would be crazy!

Our talk includes abbreviated thoughts on the first spin-off, Rogue One, and Star Wars expanded universes new and old. Oh, and we also talk about Solo, eventually.

Broadchurch (Series 1) – Popcorn Not Included

Sometimes we talk about TV instead of movies. Well, this is the first time we’ve done that, actually.

Broadchurch is a British crime drama series set in a small town in England. After a local boy is killed, a murder investigation tears apart the titular hamlet of Broadchurch.

We cover Series 1 of 3 on this episode of the podcast. The first half of the episode gives our glowing general impressions while the second half descends into spoiler territory. It’s a really, really strong series and it’s well worth watching so we highly recommend not listening to the second half of the podcast if you haven’t watched the entirety of Series 1.

We’ve seen Incredibles 2 and that should be our next episode.

 

Bits Don’t Byte – Avengers: Infinity War

June 12, 2018

After a long absence, scheduling difficulties, and some technical glitches, Bits Don’t Byte is back! We bring you another long, nerdy, in-depth discussion of a movie.

If you’ve heard my movie podcast, then you know I was really jazzed about Infinity War. Find out what my co-hosts Joshua Kehe, his brother Ben think. We also discuss the MCU in general – the past and future including our favorites, least favorites, and theories for Avengers 4.

Unfortunately with our remote podcast set up we had some technical issues. Please forgive the less-than-pristine audio quality. We’ll try and have that back up to snuff next time.

Speaking of next time, we’d like to do these more often and have several topics we’re excited to talk about in-depth provided we can schedule it. So hopefully the next episode will be out than 6 months from now.

Guess what? We talk about old movies too. “Old” in the case meaning from 2004, a fact which I got wrong on the podcast but my wife helpfully corrected. I still can’t believe I got that wrong.

Incredibles 2 is right around the corner so now is the perfect time to revist one of Pixar’s best movies.

In our longest, most meandering episode to date we discuss podcasts we like (along with a few that have influenced ours), who our ideal third host would be if we were to add one (besides Liam Neeson, of course), and what we’ve been enjoying lately.
