#115 The Chess Show!

Charley, Joey and Tony return for their annual tradition: counting down their favorite films of the previous year.

Charley and Jo walk through season one of Netflix's SQUID GAME (오징어 게임). Emphasis on the games.

Jo discusses her age-inappropriate love for Michael Myers and distracted-boyfriend-memes herself, crowbarring John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN as a gateway to Jason Voorhees.

In an interesting experiment in self-sabotage, Tony and Charley record a chess game for the audio medium.

Our resident NES aficionado Joey takes her co-hosting duties very seriously in our overview of Capcom's Mega Man (1987), Mega Man 2 (1988), Mega Man 3 (1990), and Mega Man 4 (1991).

Charley and Tony each count down their ten favorite films of 2023.

Please enjoy a brief automated reading of the history of The Blob Show which serves as the hype trailer for our return.

The whole gang is back to compare and contrast two evil teams of animatronic robots posing as entertainment at children's dining establishments. We're talking Blumhouse's FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S (2023, d. Emma Tammi) and the Nicolas Cage vehicle that tried to steal its thunder, WILLY'S WONDERLAND (2021, d. Kevin Lewis).

Charley and Tony shake off the rust in their return to exhaustively spoil the ineffable Motern Media double-featch HEARD SHE GOT MARRIED (2021) and HEARD SHE GOT MURDERED (2023). Still keeping it niche in 2024, Charley even invites Matt Farley to perform in Arizona.

Charley and Tony unveil their favorite films of 2022 and talk a lot about feelings and grief!
