The Giant Beastcast: Episode 25

The beast has landed!

*hugs Vinny*

I wonder what a Nicholas Cage anime would be like....

wow super early cast

Evil Nic Cage in Face/Off sure makes hell of a thumb nail.

awwww... short Beastcast this week. Come on guys, this is the highlight of my week. Keep yapping. :)

I am very excited to learn about Halo, rapid-fire style.

oh my god, the terrible actor of Nicholas Cage

Fondling those teens.

BEast cast time everyone!!

Only 1.5 hours?! Scandal! I want my money back!*

* I don't want my money back.

Amazing? I'm going with amazing.

"I want to take his face... off. Eyes, nose, skin, teeth. It's coming off."

I fucking love face/Off. Commencing Beastcast listening session!

You know it a good podcast when Nic cage is the thumbnail

LET US FEASTCAST

:/ Short podcast and alot of fallout talk. I'm already sick of hearing about fallout 4, especially about how broken it is. Not looking forward to GOTY when they will talk about how broken the game is for 30 minutes.

You cannot capture the wonder that is Nicolas Cage in a freeze frame, but this thumbnail comes close.

Thanks guys, improving my Friday significantly :3

@ilikepopcans: they really can't win.

For the love of all that is holy someone NEEDS to post some fanart of Dr Halo

´@austin_walker Just rewatched Bladerunner. Think you're underestimating other people when you say you can't recomend it. If a person has a interest in movies as a medium, then bladerunner is a movie to recomend.

i just wanted to point out I really hated the martian. my friend and I went to the theatre and it was basically every movie about disaster/nasa space crap they make where its like "we ran into a problem" DING problem fixed ... I didnt like that at all, vinny pointed that out too. I also didnt like the humor and im a huge sci ffi nerd but "MOon" is 100x better for sci fi movies, and 2001 as well if you want to know the type of sci fi I like.

this movie was just kinda bad, it was very annoying we left a few minutes before the ending because it just didnt matter anymore we had seen it already

I WON!

Vinny's dad joke at 40 minutes....

I feel like the Dr Halo bit is us experiencing schizophrenia via proxy.

Thanks for the perks tip!

Dat Nick Cage though

@a_turtle: My eternal unpopular opinion, despite liking sci-fi AND cyberpunk aesthetics, is finding Blade Runner just unbearable. I watched it for the first time about... 2-3 years ago? I saw the theatrical cut, because that was the only one on Netflix, and don't think any changes to the other versions would make me like it enough more to go out of my way to pay for them or whatever.

However, it's one of those things where I'm not enough of a "critical mind" to really explain why. I just found everything in it to fall super flat. I felt like I barely had any idea why anybody was doing anything and who anybody was so any attempts at serious moments were kind of just "Why should I care?" I have the same problem with most anime movies, especially Miyazaki movies. It's something I really wish I could explain better, but instead most people just seem to get on a high horse of "Oh you just don't GET it/You must only like non-stop action stuff" which, from an outside perspective of a fan base, makes me not WANT to like it.

Dear Vinny,

If you watch Face/Off, please record your commentary for a Films & 40s episode.

Yours,
The Entire World.

Vinny. ....Vinny. Vinny this guy below. Listen to him. This is serious.

@austin_walker Blade Runner in 5 words - "Fantastic for fans of film"

This.

I miss the longer episodes...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

here i was hoping the cast would be dedicated to the best Hollywood film by John Woo - Face Off

@vinny could the Halo 5 competition entries be posted somewhere? I want to listen to Dr Halo again...and again.

@a_turtle: Like Vinny said, it's a topic that needs more time to actually address, and if he'd given me 10 words instead of 5, I probably would've phrased it differently.

All I know is that the film's structure and characterization is unlike most contemporary sci-fi films, which has led most of the people to whom I recommend the movie to report back that the movie was too slow, that the characters were too unlikable, that there isn't enough action, and that the world's lore isn't developed enough. But lot of those reasons are why I like it! So it's really not "I can't recommend it," it's "this is my favorite movie but hey, tell me a little bit about what sort of movies you like so that I can have some idea of whether you'd like this or not."

I love Vinny even more for saying the Mass Effect series is one of his all time favorites. Mine too! Love it.

Beastcast, best cast!

The Blade Runner PC game needs to be the next Choose Our Own Adventure!

"You need a knife or a bat"

Yeah but which one is better for taking down a wolf?

@fadedmfc: There were those two great Random PC Game eps if you haven't checked those out already:

I really only played the intro of Fallout 4 so far, basically just up to meeting the dog, and so far I loved it, way more than any previous Bethesda game. I am trying to get through Assassin's Creed Syndicate, and then after that, I have to play Tomb Raider, then I will jump back into Fallout 4. Oh, what I wanted to say is that while I agree that Fallout 4 is more rushed than Fallout 3, I felt the entire intro was far more effective to me.

Dan Ryckert's fists.

Too short! :(

Where can I find these contest entries? I must download Dr. Halo.

@billmcneal: Banned

@meancloth: Grats!!

Goddamn, Dr. Halo and HALOOOO were so good. Honesty surprised I made top 5! And Vinny played a song from my Soundcloud afterward!

I feel like Dan beating a wolf barehanded should be a new meme around here. That is just tooo funny. A portrait of Dan saying, "It's okay, I can take down a wolf bare handed."

Baggy jeEEAns.
