The Say Report

We introduce a new segment in this latest episode of the Say Report that starts with Devon being joined by his sister Dayle Decker from Say Report Jr. to discuss their first 30 minutes with the Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.Then Devon is joined by Sejohn in timed discussions about his NDA covered focus group meeting, a redemption talk on Maniac Mansion after Devon dropped the ball on replaying it for Halloween, and for the main course a Sejohn inspired discussion of “You Can See Everything” the Nathan Fielder directed documentary about Elizabeth Holmes that left both of your Host-Companions with more questions than answers as the credits rolled. 

November has finally arrived and we are just 18 days away from the release of Grand Theft Auto VI as of the date this episode was recorded so we kick this episode off with a discussion about our histories with the series and Rock Star’s games in general. From there the conversation heads to the cinema as we have discussions of various lengths about Wildwood, You Can See Everything, Wicker, Ali G: Who Iz I?, and Clayface that discuss the various merits of the entertainment output each represents and those artists doing the making. Finally we take a brief moment to acknowledge the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart and admit that it is still something neither of your host-companions have truly come to terms with at the time of this recording. 

In this very special episode of The Say Report we use the 30th Anniversary of the Marlon Brando, Val Kilmer film The Island of Dr. Moreau as a jumping off point to discuss various homages to the story in the media we grew up with as kids, discuss our own personal and professional experiences as they relate to the world or filmmaking, and perhaps most importantly have a frank discussion on religion in the modern world. 

This episode of the Say Report starts with a strange request from the universe from Devon that leads to a discussion about legacy modern media inspired by Sejohn’s deep dive into South Park to discover when the show adapted itself to remain relevant and the show we still watch and discuss today. Then after Devon counters with some teases about the new fall Broadcast TV series we finish up the episode with our latest entry into the saga that is the Dirty Mountain Dew Chronicles by answer Claude’s question about our favorite halloween video games. 

In this latest episode of the Say Report Sejohn’s concerns about food with timers on them leads to a big discussion and exploration of the Food and Retail industries and how the lack of oversight has led to less and less consumer protections in the pursuit of profits. Then Devon builds a big ole Compliment Sandwich with Spoiler sauce about the new Street Fighter film released in 2026 and uses it as his latest bit of example about how the film industry has pivoted to Gen-Z as their target audience while Sejohn speaks some truths about the wild notions behind modern film budgets. Finally Devon lavishes some praise on Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse the first mainline entry into the franchise in 12 years after spending the last 72 hours fully immersed in the experience.

This episode we discuss the 1994 Saturday Morning Cartoon that has suddenly found new relevance in 2026 Skeleton Warriors and a slew of other toyetic cartoons that came out before, alongside, and after it and their various measurable metrics of success. We also use The Skeletons Warriors marketing as a leaping off point to discuss Sejohn’s firsthand experiences with the homogenization of the film industry, Devon’s recent revisits to the world of  Castlevania in preparation for Belmont’s Curse, and overall some of the absolutely insane and absurd things we have done as part of our personal professional experiences

The Say Report is back with a new episode and the Say Reporters are recording for the first time from the same time zone since they recorded together in a studio back in 2023. To mark the occasion Sejohn is sharing the sights he saw as he drove his family to their new home, Devon is looking at media he has engaged with over the past week trying to prove that the simplest explanation for their failures is a matter of poor timing, and this is the episode where we finally take a look at Angel Studios and why they have never felt worthy of trust. Strap in as The Say Report embraces their new paradigm and other buzzwords used to mask the world’s deep-seated fear of change. 

This episode of the Say Report sees Devon lead Sejohn on an adventure through the fields of Television, Video Games, Movies, and finally Television again as the two attempt to capture the topics that would have been covered had they not found themselves having to use their Time Capsule episode last week. The result is a surprisingly in-depth examination of Practical Magic 2 and The Book of Magic, the novel it is based on. As well as the strange mechanics used in Insomniac’s Wolverine game that seem more tailored to modern gaming conventions than capturing the feeling of wielding the claws of one James “Logan” Howlett 

In this released too soon Time Capsule episode (RIP our appearance in Avengers: Doomsday) the Say Reporters celebrate the 30th anniversary of Michael Bay's action classic The Rock  

Disappointment is a part of life and while the philosophy of The Say Report is to temper exceptions to avoid disappointments... that doesn’t always work out… and not just for your host companions but for the world at large. That is why in this installment we are taking a look at the topics that seemed to disappoint a vocal majoring this past week, primarily in the video gaming space but also a bit in tabletop entertainment, cinematic entertainment, and even just with one another as humans.
