The "Premium Video" for this one is from 2022-11-22 :-/

I listened to it for 23 minutes before wondering aloud "how many repeat stories are they going to tell?" :D

Scarlet Spider has the coolest look. No one tell Jan what Ben Riley is up to these days though.

Was it ever stated why Jan was dressed like a sailor working for Jacques Custo?

That happened to me too. I'm sure @janman or someone will sort it out eventually.

Sorry to inform but unobtainium is a real term that's used. At least go for the sex organs also being used for controlling animals.

@muttonbandit: Unobtainium is a real term, but the way Avatar uses it is still very dumb. Unobtainium is more like a figure of speech for whatever material would be ideal (but practically impossible to get in sufficient quantity) for a given situation, whereas in Avatar it’s literally some new element/ore found in massive abundance on the planet in the movie. Surely the material would just be given a proper name once it is no longer theoretical, so watching every single character continue to call it “unobtainium” reads as super dumb to me.

I see that Tubi has Tammy and the T Rex on it, Tubi is great for cult crap movies, and I don't mind the commercials so much watching that type of movie, it feels like the sort of crap you'd watch on Saturday afternoon TV in the 80s or 90s. Real movies with ads is a bad deal, though.

Ben Pack brought The Coin Game to a UPF a few years ago (I think), and that’s a great venue for playing all those shitty ticket-farm games at no personal cost. I can vouch for it having a satisfying coin pusher machine.

Grub is factually incorrect about the pixel remasters. They are not ROMS and are in fact remakes complete with new soundtracks. Also don't steal readily available games.

Haven't played Crisis Core yet, but a little bothered that Zack's sword isn't huge because in FF7 that's where Cloud gets his sword - from Zack's corpse.....

@theonewhoplays : You might have a case for 1-3 being remakes but 4-6 are just touched up roms with new soundtracks
