Episode Notes A cowboy helicopter pilot attempts to murder Henry via Agent 47-style schemes. He then fucks off to Tokyo to hang out in a soapland and Frank does his best to ruin everything, as usual. Maxie explains what a "Dear John" letter is; boy this show sure is weird about Asian people huh; our first trip to the Slashy Mash Quotes archive.
Episode Notes CW For discussion of sexual assault starting at around 30:40 Did you know this show almost got canceled after Season 1? Can't imagine why.
Episode Notes Season 1 is not impressing with its casual attitude towards human trafficking, but at least Klinger showed up.
Episode Notes Like the first episode of a long-running sitcom, we haven't quite found our footing yet. Please excuse a tired Zach and echo-y Maxie as they step foot off the helicopter into the 4077th.
This month's movie is Dōbutsu no Mori! The Animal Crossing movie! We sit back, relax and vibe with this wonderful film. It is such a good adaptation that it can convey the themes and appeal of Animal Crossing arguably even better than the games can! Dan's Rating: 5/5 Adpatation 4/5 Movie Maxie's Rating: 5/5 Adaptation 5/5 Movie Next Month: Prince of Persia (2010) Twitter | Discord Dan | Maxie
This month's movie is the 2007 Hitman film! Agent 47 is caught in a body double conspiracy while being hunted down by his own organization. There's a lot of good moments but ultimately it's less than the sum of its own parts. Our Rating: 1/5 Adaptation 2/5 Movie Next Month: Dōbutsu no Mori (2006) Twitter | Discord Dan | Maxie
This week, Argyle and Jordan joined friends of the show and hosts of Video Games: the Movie: the Podcast Dan and Maxie to discuss Takashi Miike's...very unique 2007 movie that is...based on(?) the video game Yakuza (2005). Essential viewing for any Yakuza fan. Go check out VGTMTP, it's good! Argyle | Jordan Dan | Maxie Twitter | Discord A Noise Space Podcast
This month's movie is Ryu Ga Gotoku! It's the Yakuza movie! It's kind of insane, it's kind of Pulp Fiction, it's kind of mostly about a couple of of teen robbers. It sure does have Goro Majima though! Not to mention CG helicopters, daip'd up Nishiki, and Kazama! Dan's Rating: 4/5 Movie 1.5/5 Adaptation Maxie's Rating: ?/?

This month's movie is Takasi Miike's 2012 Ace Attorney Film! Joining us are Takashi Miike fan Gigalithic and Ace Attorney fan Elliott! Between the two two of them we ended having a lot to say about this film, which frankly is probably the best movie we're ever going to watch on here. Everyone's Rating: 5/5 Film 5/5 Adaptation Next Month: Ryu Ga Gotoku (AKA The Yakuza Movie) Twitter | Discord Dan | Maxie | Gigalithic | Elliott
This month's movie is Uwe Boll's Alone in The Dark! This movie has a reputation of being "the worst film of all time". This was likely hyperbole from 00s gamers, but that doesn't mean the movie couldn't stand to do a lot better. The movie wants to be 5 different genres, none of which fit with the game, and the opening text crawl needlessly explains all the plot twists before it can even start. Rest in piss, Lowtax.
