Is there a specific reason you did this? Referring to the Matt as Leia comparison.
because Leia is more important than Han Solo in star wars, even though Matt Solo prob could of worked better as a name
I'm dumb and read that tweet wrong. I thought he was making a trilogy out of the Spiderman PS4, Homecoming, and Far From Home.
Ooooh, ok then. Yeah, that'd have been a straight up travesty to not include it then.
Pour one out for the Best Friends again

Woolie moving up in the world
^^^ It was good seeing Woolie in that WaPo article.
I really wish he ended that with "well, I guess until I go Hollow."
And he cast himself from highest mountain in all of Canada...
After 10 years of suffering, 10 years of endless nightmares it would finally come to an end.
Would Hollow Woolie be a result of him failing to link the fire?
Not familiar with Mauler, but from the way they described it it sounded like the most anti-watchable thing in the universe and I'm kind of morbidly curious now...
I've only seen Mauler's Dark Souls 2 response, and I really liked it, as ridiculously long as it is. Hbomberguy's defense of DS2 is weirdly snippy and smug, misrepresents a ton of Matthewmatosis' points and does not address them, makes a lot of assertions from emotional, personal basis and does not back them up, and also makes several contradictory statements just to let DS2 have an edge on 1.
Like say, first telling that Demon's Souls' grindable herbs completely broke the game's difficulty, and suddenly DS2's lifegems are perfect and don't break it because ???
Or, defending DS2's various cheap cut&paste mob bossfights because "it's a form of strategy!" and then later in same video, calling the many 1v1 duel type bosses against big dudes with swords, "the way the game was meant to be played, the best designed content"
Here's my takes on the hot takes:
- Sam Raimi Spiderman - I can see where they're coming from
- Game of Thrones - meh, I don't care, but they make great points about A) things coming to an end, B) waiting until something's over to jump on it, and C) not having plans
- Battlestar Galactica - that actually wasn't a hot take, most of the fandom feels that way
- Twin Peaks - don't care
- Firefly - that probably rustled fan jimmies, but it's fine
- Dollhouse - LOL, who gives a shit
- MCU - not really controversial unless you didn't like certain events in Endgame
- Star Wars - barely mentioned, didn't deserve a mention in the podcast description on the site
- Star Trek: Discovery - see above, although I thought it would've been brought up during the Sonic movie talk along with the Jim Sterling video, because it's the same kinda of crap
I don't really care about GoT's quality since for me the series jumped the shark all the way back to season 5, so right now i just watch it for pure stupid "raw reaction" entertainment. Nothing it does really phases me.
In general tho, the propensity of nerds to go at length on WHY they don't like a thing is tiring. it's not even that they're wrong, but Mauler is a perfect example of someone who could basically summarize his entire thoughts in 10 minutes but why do that when he can suck your lifeforce for 10 hours. I don't have that much energy to devote to pop culture in the first place when it's just kinda bad (although I do enjoy criticism, but that's why i'd rather enjoy shorter form stuff, or talks about things like thematics rather than just "THE THING HE MAKES AT THIS POINT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE"

I can totally see why someone as OCD as Pat would bounce off season 3 of Twin Peaks.
That Hbomberguy DS2 video is terrible but I'd rather piss glass than watch a 10 hour refutation of it.

So is the new lore that after the fall of the Best Friends, Woolie unveiled his trueself to the rest of the world dumping on the things we all thought he liked and has now started a cult after becoming Better Woolie.
