It's a short and sweet solo! We spend a lot of time classifying a new taxonomy of mediocre-but-good movies, and talk about some video games and stuff. Once again I ask: does anyone read these descriptions? Is it really going to sway whether you listen to this episode or not? How can a loving god cause such pain? Do you hate ads but love this show?

We're here with our unofficial third host and certified rapscallion Jory Griffis to talk about Resident Evil: Requiem and watch the terrible film E.T. Go to our Patreon to enjoy our commentary track either with or without the movie; it goes crazy in the second half once we completely turn on the movie and start fantasizing about all the ways that little alien menace could bite it for good.

Oh, did you think we were done doing the 299 tease? Are you tired of it? We aren't! We can do this all day. And tomorrow. And the next day. And the next day. Forever. Anyway, we talk about snacks and video game scores and other stuff in this one and I'm not sure if people even read these. Is there any point in listing vague topics we "cover" as if mention of "video game scores" will either entice or repulse you? Do any of us have free will?
