Hey folks! Not a new episode this week, so let's throw it back to early 2019 (when MCU movies were still pretty good) and talk about Captain Marvel! Hey.... you might hear about the latest MCU movie that Ryan may or may not have thought is actually pretty good next week. See what we did there? A bit of forward sizzle. Anyhow, let's firmly press those nostalgia goggles onto our faces and enjoy a movie review from a shockingly long time ago. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on Almost Accurate: Xbox is going to be more expense. Like a lot more expensive. Tarrifs? Corporate Greed? Or even this is some elaborate strategy to get people to buy more PlayStations?

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Man that was a ripper of a presentation wasn't it??!Mario Kart World looks sick, as does Metroid Prime 4, Donkey Kong Bananza and so so so much more. Can't believe this thing can run Cyberpunk too but hey, nice to see the crazy folks at Nintendo Going for it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Listen.... more people should watch Kings of Tupelo. It's easily one of the wildest documentaries we have ever watched, and MORE PEOPLE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT THIS. Do any of the following peak your interest? ConspiraciesElvis ImpersonatorsPlots that wind up threatening local government officials Government officials who also own morguesBlack Market body part sales KarateIf one or more of these things tickles your fancy then boy oh boy do we have the perfect documentary for you all to watch on Netflix RIGHT NOW.Also Nintendo basically held a snap Nintendo Direct today, 6 days before their big Switch 2 blowout and MAN DOES METROID PRIME 4 LOOK PRETTY GOOD ACTUALLY.

Hi guys,No new one this week, but since that new season of Righteous Gemstones is rolling with their new season, let's throw it back over two years since we reviewed their last season premiere. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The boys are back and so are the Righteous Gemstones! Well kinda, turns out they decided to turn their season premiere into a Civil War Period piece with Bradley Cooper but it still kinda ruled. Ryan has also been on a tear as he breaks down the first two episodes of Daredevil Reborn, and wouldn't you know it he gave the Hellboy franchise another shot with Hellboy: The Crooked Man! Turns out, it's okay! Not nearly the absolutely travesty that the last Hellboy was. Yuck. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're back. Guess what. It's time to talk multiple things. Like Dexter Original Sin. Also Severance season 2. Also White Lotus season 3. Also several other things. Possibly including but not limited to: James Gunn saying Robert Pattinson "isn't the Batman for the DCU" Happy Gilmore 2 is coming out this summer on NetflixNot only does Tom Holland have his own N/A beer brand called Bero, they also apparently sell it at Target and he couldn't buy it because he has a little baby face and forgot his ID and they wouldn't sell it to him despite him being Tom Holland. Like come on what are we even doing here???!! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're still in the vault which means of course it's time to pull out another episode that involves the seemingly only superhero that we care about. This week let's revisit Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hey guys, we hope to be back soon with some new episodes for you all, but in the meantime, let's cast our minds back to a much (simpler? happier?) time of November 2020 (oh man maybe this isn't a good idea) when the PS5 was brand-new and Spider-Man: Miles Morales was dazzling people. Yeah, this game is still sick, and Spider-Man in all of his various guises still rocks. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Well this week we've opened the vault way WAY open and we're going all the way back to the fall of 2018, in the very beginning of the show when both of us played Marvel's Spider-man on the PS4 and man OH MAN what a game that was. New episodes back next week when we'll talk about Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

....... and wouldn't you know it, it looks A LOT like all of the leaks doesn't it? We missed it last week but we still managed to turn this into an entire episode full of rants, speculation, excitement, adulation, and checking (and rechecking) the wikipedia page for the highest selling video game consoles of all time! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Listen guys- we're sick. So no new episode this week! Soooo.... to fill time, we're really going to be reaching here. Follow our logic for this choice. The Switch 2 was announced today, and the company that makes it is Nintendo. Are y'all still following us so far? The game they showed up sure seems like a new version of Mario Kart, featuring a version of Donkey Kong that sure looks like the model they used in the Mario Bros movie.... also speaking of the Mario Bros movie.... we reviewed that! Thanks for sticking with us. It sure was a long walk to get to this point. Enjoy this dive into the... well we were going to say not so distant past but it's been nearly two years ago. Yikes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week Jake & Ryan look ahead to the year that could be in 2025- including all of the probably terrible but might be slightly okay video game adaptations, from the Last of Us season 2, A Minecraft Movie, Five Nights at Freddie's 2 and even more! There's a lot of stuff coming out (or might come out this year!) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week the boys talk about the surprise spiritual Christmas thriller, action movie successor to Die Hard, Carry On. At least 1 of us actually liked it despite it being maybe more than a bit silly and convoluted, while at least one of the other one of us wasn't quite as enamored with Jason Bateman's charm. Hey, it goes like that sometimes. Also- Squid Game season 2 is off to a fantastic start and there's a reason that first season blew up the way that it did (and that reason is because it's actually pretty damn good, memes and all.) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

That's right y'all, it's finally time that we did a full year in review in the actual year that we're reviewing for once. Jake & Ryan are back together in the same room for the first time in almost year and it's time to discuss and review the year that was (and oh boy what a year it's been in movies + tv shows + video games). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week the boys are talking about the SUPER BOWL OF VIDEO GAMING NEWS AND ANNOUCNEMENTS BUT ALSO A FEW AWARDS AT THE SAME TIME. That's right, in case you didn't quite gather what this episode is about, it time to talk about the institution that is Geoff Keighly's The Game Awards. Oh what a game awards show it was this year (actually it was quite good, and a decent improvement over recent years.) This years Game of The Year award winner was so good (it's Astro Bot btw) that Jake actually bought it with real money and played it (turns out, they were right, this is an amazing game). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We truly are a podcast of extremes folks. One of us saw Wicked in all its glory in the theater (movie theater that is) and yet another of us has been on quite the deep dive into the Alien franchise. Such is podcasting, perfectly balanced. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hi folks! We're traveling this week so we are dipping in to the vault once more. Since it's now December it's time to listen to the boys reminisce on their favorite Christmas movies! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week the boys are back and its time to talk about Alien Romulus (now on Hulu for all you in the States) and it is a wild ride that really REALLY wants to remind you all of the original (and still probably best Alien movie in the franchise). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hey, this week it's just like it says on the tin. The boys are here to talk about both (excellent) recaps of the Max's The Penguin, and the beautiful and still fun to play Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered. It sure is nice to have two good things to talk about isn't it? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hi all,First off all of us should wish Ryan a VERY happy birthday! Unfortunately we weren't able to record a new episode this week. We were going to talk some news and about the Horizon Zero Dawn Remaster, but instead we are going to dip back into our vault! So instead we're reaching back over two years (if you can believe it, we certainly can't) to us talking about Horizon Forbidden West (back when it was still new. Damn, still hard to believe it's almost 2025, that is truly insane). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week the boys have watched the GREAT indie horror movie, Late Night with the Devil. In the news, Nintendo is doing everything they can to not announce the Switch 2, Macaulay Culkin is joining the cast for Amazon's Fallout season 2, and The Pokémon Company is trying their darnedest to get kids (and aging millennials) to gamble with their new mobile app. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This halloween we've done the spookiest thing we could possibly imagine.... review a ton of things all at once! We've watched the fantastic indie horror movie Talk to Me, and speaking of talking to me.... The Final Girls is an absolutely insane and ridiculous movie, but still a fun watch. Hey, speaking of insane and ridiculous..... M. Night is back at it again with Trap. Oh! and one of us also binged the entirety of the Netflix's newest Gundam anime, Requiem for Vengeance. Yeah, that should about do it! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hey Guys, we weren't able to record a fresh episode for you all this week so instead we did the next best thing..... that's right, we're reaching WAAAAAAYYYY back into the newly named Almost Accurate vault and pulled out a spooky (and goofy) old gem from the past. Enjoy us talking about the absolutely ridiculous Return of the Killer Tomatoes this week! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The boys do their now weekly check-in for the Penguin, and Jake talks about the most bummed spending $30 he's been in quite some time (it's Starfield's very very mid DLC, Shattered Space in case you all didn't get the reference.) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

That's right folks, we're back to doing weekly podcasts and we invite you all to join us in watching the cozy fall masterpiece, Over the Garden Wall. Based on the amount of people that watched this Cartoon Network mini-series when it came out a decade ago, you probably hadn't seen it either, but now that we have, we are going to beat the drum that this is a autumnal masterpiece that should be celebrated for its eccentricities each and every fall from here on out. An animation style that is both cutesy, charming and unsettling, coupled with a cozy yet sometimes haunting sound design makes for one severely underrated series that is probably best treated as a feature-length movie. Seriously, what're you waiting for? Go watch it and listen to us talk about it! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The boys waddle their way into a stringily good mafia crime caper this week... that's right we're talking about DC's new Max original, The Penguin! Join us as we talk about the grittiness of Gotham, the wetness of the streets, and reminds ourselves "oh yeah, that really is Collin Farrell under all that makeup and the fat suit isn't it?" He's doing a helluva job and this show is off to a great start, what else can we say? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this episode the boys talk about the OUTRAGEOUS price of the PS5 Pro, possible Switch 2 leaks, Mortal Combat 2 getting a release date and more in the news! Also... Agatha All Along released yesterday and honestly we're still trying to figure out what we feel about it. It sure seems to be setting up for... something, right?? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

From Baby Reindeer, to Killing of a Sacred Deer, the boys have really gone full circle with their episode choices this year. Due to some traveling circumstances, the boys are recording a week early, and have gone in on Yorgos Lanthimos' 2017 Killing of a Sacred Deer and boy oh boy do they have some thoughts. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Damn. What a great show.... what a lackluster final season. What was going to be a normal episode quickly turned into an hour-long therapy session from Jake & Ryan, and the good news is you all get to listen in. That's fun right? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Quips. That's what this episode is all about folks, it's quips, cameos, and oh look, Robert Downey Jnr. is back to play Victor von Doom! That's right, Jake and Ryan have watched Deadpool & Wolverine, and also have a full week's worth of news to catch up on! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jake & Ryan are back... or... is it possibly their evil twins perhaps? Both of the boys (or sets of them) have finally got around to watching the newest Star Wars series, The Acolyte and share their thoughts on the opening to the season. They've also got news galore including (unfortunately) a very long list of in memoriams this week, Walton Goggins and the Fallout crew are racking up Emmy nominations, the Russo brothers are returning to direct even more Avengers movies, and trailers! That's right, so MANY DAMN TRAILERS. We're talking Agatha All Along, we're talking Captain America Brave New World, a new animated Watchmen series and more that we're probably forgetting about even now! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week the boys are back on Discord and are talking who's in their "acting" hall of fame, why there isn't an "acting" hall of fame, and also if they've ever seen a movie so, so awful that they've physically had to remove themselves from whatever movie theater (or church) that they were viewing said movie in.They've also been watching stuff- Ryan has been keeping up with the newest season of The Boys, and he's been getting his Pixar on by finally watching Elemental. Jake watched Arizona, which is a Danny McBride led dumpster fire of a movie from 2018 that people aren't talking about or remembering for very good reasons. In the news- Beef is apparently getting a second season and is looking to add Carey Mulligan & Oscar Isaac, Ubisoft is (finally) getting around to making a Watch Dogs movie that they promised everyone over 10 years ago, and we have trailers galore!We're talking Longlegs trailer, we're talking Hellboy the Crooked Man trailer, we're talking about M. Knight's newest trailer for Trap, we've got ALL MANNER OF TRAILERS THIS WEEK. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Boys oh the Boys are back. Yes of course we're talking about Jake & Ryan after taking an extra week between episodes this time, but also Amazon Prime's hit series that is still the best thing they make. What a fantastic show. Also- how cool is it to finally catch a glimpse of Metroid Prime 4 and it being a real, seemingly good video game that's actually going to come out at some point?? We sure do live in a crazy world right?? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Full disclosure folks... we weren't sure what we were going to talk about before we saw this article on Polygon a few minutes before we started recording so... enjoy "our" most anticipated TV shows of summer 2024! Joking aside, there are some quality choices on this list... we're talking the Boys season 4, Clipped, a Batman animated series spinoff, House of the Dragon season 2, and more! Yeah, it's gonna be a good summer to sit in the AC and enjoy some fresh, fire content. We'll be there for sure. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week the boys dive into the twisted world of Netflix's newest hit, Baby Reindeer. They've also got a treasure trove of news to talk about, from Nintendo's newest console, to new castings in the MCU, and even more! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The boys are back and we're back with even more Fallout. Is this our surprised best show of 2024??Thus far, the answer certainly seems to be yes. But, there is even more on the horizon, because that Deadpool & Wolverine trailer looks to be setting up something that we daresay might actually be good? Yeah! We daresay yes! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
