Bits And Flicks

[[:encoded, "On this episode of Flicks we go over the latest movie trailers including the new Tom Hanks film Sully and the Anna Kendrick rom com Table 19. Following that up is your bi-weekly news filter with a focus on movie theaters suing patrons, the sexual orientation of a particular Star Trek crew member and lots more Ghostbuster reboot talk. Finally we go over what we have been watching with Jake's renewed interest in some anime and my review of The Purge: Election Year."]]

[[:encoded, "On this episode of Bits we reveal the free PSN and Xbox games for the month of July, talk about the recent release Pokemon Go and how it is assaulting Facebookers everywhere, pick apart the announcement of the upcoming Bioshock collection remaster and then delve into a whole lot of speculative talk about Nintendo's secret new console. Finally we wrap things up with my thoughts on the multiplayer sensation Overwatch and Madcap's thoughts on the indie title Tick Tock Bang Bang."]]

[[:encoded, "For this episode of Now Showing I review the 20 years late Independence Day: Resurgence. As you will find out during my mostly spoiler free review, this sequel to the 1996 summer blockbuster feels as though it wants so bad to be epic and thrilling but ultimately succumbs to the same failings as its predecessor while adding new problems into the mix. But hey, at least it has Jeff Goldblum...right?"]]

[[:encoded, "For the third episode of our episodic playthrough of Ghostbusters:The Videogame we tackle two new stages, History Museum and Return to Sedgewick Hotel. Join us as we run down all the ins and outs of both levels and give our highly objective opinions on how we feel about the game up to this point in general. Our overall opinions of the game aren't swayed too much by these next two stages but while I start to get a grasp of the mechanics Madcap struggles with some unfortunate problems."]]

[[:encoded, "For this episode of Flicks we soldier through some more uninspiring recent movie trailers and then go right into some recent TV cancellations (hope your show isn't one of them!). From there we go over your bi-weekly news filter with a trio of bad news for Star Trek fans and then conclude with some TV talk and of course tons of movie talk including Jake's thoughts on 10 Cloverfield Lane and my review of the new shark flick The Shallows among many more."]]

[[:encoded, "For this episode of Bits we have very little in the news department after our post E3 episode so we breeze right into what we have been playing. Madcap discusses his love hate then love relationship with the new game Rhythm Heaven Megamix and then explores his unhealthy attraction to Onechanbara Z2 Chaos. I chime in with my thoughts on the recent Resident Evil 7 demo and the slightly not so new Final Fantasy 15 demo."]]

[[:encoded, "For the second episode of our episodic playthrough of Ghostbusters: The Videogame we tackle two new stages, Times Square and Public Library. Join us as we run down all the ins and outs of both levels and give our highly objective opinions on how we feel about the game up to this point in general. While we agree that that Ghostbusters license is being used well, we still find the gameplay itself lacking to say the least."]]

[[:encoded, "Welcome to this special episode of Bits! For this special report we go over many of the announcements, reveals and highlights of E3 2016. We provide some much needed insight for many of this year's press conferences including Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo among many more and give our opinions on what you should be looking out for, both good and bad."]]

[[:encoded, "Welcome to Flicks, the podcast where movies come first and everything else comes later. For this episode we look at some new trailers all of which left us sort of underwhelmed and then delve into the latest entertainment news where our top story is set to rock the world of Star Wars fans looking forward to the upcoming Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Then we wrap everything up with a slew of movie reviews including X-Men: Apocalypse, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, The Conjuring 2 and lots more."]]

[[:encoded, "Welcome to Bits, the podcast made for gamers by gamers. For this episode we cover the free games on PSN and Xbox Live for the month of June and then go over some new upcoming releases. There was a lot of news to cover such as the rumors surrounding Sony's PS4.5 and Nintendo's next console the NX but we also have a couple games we have been playing to discuss as well. So join us as we keep you informed on all the latest videogame news."]]

[[:encoded, "Welcome to our inaugural episode for Backward Compatible, the place where old videogames become new again. Join us as we playthrough a select older videogame in an episodic format and give our impressions as we play the game.\n\nFor our first game we have chose Ghostbusters: The Videogame (2009). With the new film on the horizon we thought it would be a fun way to remember the original film and cast by playing through what many consider the unofficial Ghostbusters 3 film. \n\nFor this episode we are playing through the first tutorial stage and up to completion of the first stage Sedgewick Hotel. Not only can you hear what we have to say but now you can actually see our playthroughs themselves by visiting my youtube channel Gaming with Dweavis and my counterpart's channel at Madcap888."]]

[[:encoded, "As promised (albeit a little late) here is your bi-weekly dose of Flicks, now served in bite sized pieces. Yes, as with Bits, Flicks is also now provided as its own entity so that you can choose your flavor or splurge and enjoy both! For this particular episode of Flicks we go over an assortment of trailers including the new trailers for the unpopular Ghostbusters reboot and the fan-loathed Star Trek Beyond. Then we go over some of the recent TV series cancellations and conclude with my thoughts on a handful of season finales including Fear the Walking Dead and Bates Motel. Don't forget to check out Bits and subscribe to the show!"]]

[[:encoded, "Here it is, Bits delivered to you as it's own download (don't worry movie fans, Flicks is getting the same treatment). It took us a couple of episodes to realize the best way to deliver Bits and Flicks to you wasn't to jam them together but separate them into their own entities so that you can pick and choose what you want. Plus we know it's easier jumping into a 60 minute episode as opposed to a 160 minute episode. The format of the show remains the same but how you get them is just a little easier now. Hope you like the change and be on the lookout for Flicks coming very soon."]]

[[:encoded, "For this episode of Now Showing we are looking at the latest blockbuster release from Marvel and Disney, Captain America: Civil War. With the film itself pulling out all the stops and bringing other superheroes in to join the good fight we to have recruited our very own comic book expert (although he prefers to be labeled more as an enthusiast) and lore master, Mr. James Blunt! While James had been a huge part of our previous and now defunct podcast this is his first venture with us on Bits and Flicks and as expected he knocks it out the park. Tune in and listen to use discuss all the ins and outs about what is being called the best superhero movie ever made."]]

[[:encoded, "You may have been wondering where we were these past few weeks but fret not as we are officially back and with a ton of content for you. Some highlights from BITS include a complete analysis of the NVIDIA press conference, some Doom and Battleborn beta talk, Star Fox Zero impressions and a rundown of all the free PSN and Xbox games for the month of May. In Flicks we breakdown a number of trailers including the highly anticipated Doctor Strange and The Killing Joke. Then we discuss some TV such as Game of Thrones, Fear the Walking Dead and conclude with reviews for The Jungle Book remake and The Huntsman: Winter's War. As usual don't forget to subscribe and enjoy!"]]

[[:encoded, "Well, we are a bit late with this one but I think the wait was worth it. We had originally recorded this the day after The Force Awakens was released on dvd/blu-ray but some unforeseen circumstances have led to us posting it at this slightly later date. Regardless, I hope you are in the mood for a whole lot of Star Wars talk because that is exactly what you'll get with this new segment of our soon to be podcast empire entitled Now Showing. Normally this will be where you will come for recent theatrical releases where we will focus on one film only but considering we missed out on talking about this one when it was released last year we thought what the hell, why not."]]

[[:encoded, "This episode in Bits we cover some New Releases including Dark Souls 3 and the Steam version for Star Wars Rogue Squadron. In videogame news we reveal the free PSN games for the month of April as well as discussing the new Final Fantasy demo and the Doom 4 open beta.\n\nIn Flicks we go over the latest movie trailers including the new Rogue One: A Star Wars Story trailer and the extremely bizarre new Daniel Radclliffe film Swiss Army Men. In movie/tv news we cover the shake up going on at Warner Bros. after the disappointing box office for Batman V Superman and the surprising decision to bring back the Mythbusters so soon after it concluded. We then wrap everything up with a quick discussion on the final Paranomral Activity movie and I give my two cents on the entirety of The Walking Dead season 6 along with my review for the new FPS inpsired action film Hardcore Henry."]]

[[:encoded, "Welcome to our very first episode of Bits and Flicks, the podcast for gamers who love movies! We kickstart everything with an introduction to our podcast format and then dive headfirst into the fray with Bits where we discuss anything and everything game related with our resident game guru Jake aka Madcap. After that I take over as we delve into Flicks where we go over tv and movie news. Apologies for the length but we are just getting our bearings and will hopefully reduce future episodes to a more easily digestible size. Hope you enjoy it and make sure to check back in a couple weeks for our next episode!"]]
