Sometimes the things we love can hurt us. Right now, that thing is HBO Max after it seems like the great content purge has begun. Along with the bigger issue of algorithms getting it wrong, are we seeing the downside to streaming? But first, we open with the annual Universal Studios Orlando Halloween Horror Nights 2022 (HHN for the cool kids) first impressions. With a new smattering of haunted houses and scare zones, will this year be more trick or treat? Cheers! *Beer of the Week* Redlight Redl...

The One Beer In Boys are LIVE in this week’s special live-streamed show thanks to the students and staff of F.I.R.S.T. Institute. With a bug in Marco’s ear and a couple of local craft beers from Deadwords Brewing, the boys dig into the recent controversy since the Predator prequel, Prey. Does it suffer from a “Mary Sue” protagonist? Is it the best movie in the franchise? Tune in to find out. Then, the PlayStation 5 has been out for two years now…but where are all the games?

What happened? Why does everything good always wither and die, Brewskis? HBO Max had arguably the best thing in streaming going -- but had to ruin it all with a Discovery+ crossover. Heralded by the unceremonious cancellation of Bat Girl, will this cosmic shift in the streaming space work or nah? Also, and equally controversially, the word sp*z has come under the spotlight as Lizzo and Beyonce have felt the heat. Apparently, the word has been used as an ableist slur across the pond. Should these...

Yep. Yet again, one of your faithful hosts caught the big bug. But with Obi back to fighting shape, we're back at it and stronger than ever. With two brews fresh from Obi's trip to NYC, the boys tee up a winding web of slightly tipsy topics, from Rob Zombie's Munsters movie to Taika Waititi's recent critical reappraisal of Jojo Rabbit and so much more.

Your two favorite Raimi Heads have watched the wizarding world of Doctor Strange and have conjured a few thoughts. Sam Raimi's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is a pretty severe departure from the mainline MCU stable — but does that make for a good flick?

A Twitter user brings up a good point — a movie like Jaws can be appreciated (and consumed) today as it was in the 70s. But in 50 years, how will newcomers digest the tangled web of references, in-jokes, payoffs, and story threads that make up so much of the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Will the pre-reqs ruin the shelf life of some of today's biggest blockbusters? Also, Marco previews Black Star's long-awaited return album. We cover Dave Chappelle's on-stage scare (and the subsequent beatdown of t...

Have you noticed a few classic albums missing from Spotify and other mainstream music streaming apps? Snoop made the Death Row Records catalog an exclusive to his newly planned app. The long-awaiting sophomore Blackstar album is coming only to Luminary. And others are surely to follow. Is this good for artists? Bad for consumers? Or somewhere in the middle? Then, can Kendrick Lamar top what many consider a career filled with some stone-cold classics?

Hogwarts Legacy, a new game set in the world of Harry Potter, is mired in controversy. Though the Wizarding World is still a beloved franchise, it's struggling to separate itself from its creator, JK Rowling. The supposedly "cancelled" multi-millionaire author has made what many consider transphobic remarks, making her persona non grata. BUT Rowling has remarkably little to do with Hogwarts Legacy, with devs promising to allow gamers to create trans characters. But is that enough? Should trans a...
