So, they’re trying to invent the “Directors Cut” DVD… but in theaters?
We need a bigger NO button.

This Thursday, Second Wind is doing our very first showcase.
Some amazing looking indie games AND a trailer for Season 5 of Adventure is Nigh!

A stack of vinyl records, all in their sleeves. On top of a stack of vinyls is one featuring the faces of two old, white men. One of the men has a very long white beard and the other is holding a conductor’s baton, which clearly looks like a wand. The album is titled: Horenstein Brahms symphony no. 1. The London Symphony Orchestra

You can’t trick me into thinking this is an album of classical music… I know a wizard battle when I see one!!!

+1 for dungeondraft
Incredibly intuitive and you can find almost any style pack to make with.
I use it all the dang time.

Exit 8 is a solid movie.
A really great example of how to do a video game movie right!
Kept all the mechanical horror to build great tension but then sprinkled a nice and simple story over it.

Here’s a video title that will 100% fuck with the algorithm:
“Exit 8 is the Super Mario Galaxy of video game movies”

Keep in mind I haven’t seen Exit 8 yet…

I am SEVERELY interested in this musical!!!

Overheard a man at the gas station, on his phone, planning a cookout:

“Yeah… yeah… yeah but I think you’re SEVERELY overestimating people’s interest in corn.”

Watch Here:

I’m know there’s a lot going on right now in the world and therefore a lot going on in people’s heads.

… but I need you all to know that “Possum Kingdom” by The Toadies is in 3 different time signatures:
7/4
4/4
6/4

In Chris Taylor's resounding landslide victory, Wisconsin voters again choose a judicial check on Trump Taylor won by an astonishing 20-point margin, extending the winning streak for liberal candidates to four in a row, cementing control through the end of the decade.

NEW: Liberal candidates have won 5 of the last 6 state Supreme Court races in the Trump Era, with Chris Taylor's emphatic 20-point landslide victory serving as the exclamation point on this monumental winning streak.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Super Show! | The Rewind Podcast YouTube video by Second Wind

This week on The ReWind @darrenmooney.bsky.social, Marty, and I talk about the Super Mario Galaxy Movie.
Which asks a bold question:
"Can a movie devoid of any tension be entertaining?"

The answer is: "eeehhhhhhhhhh!!!!!"

Watch/Listen Here:

“Pizza Movie” (2026) is genuinely delightful!
An old-school Capital C comedy.
Great performances, amazing gags, bonkers execution!

Go watch it!

What was your favorite part?
The over-edited, generic action scenes or when they paused the movie to have a forced pop-culture conversation.

100% agree with you.
We have these creators coming up with interesting and quirky puzzle pieces to add a new dimension to.
Then these other guys just shoving those pieces in… even if they don’t fit.

In the 90s, a wave of “non-traditional movies broke into the mainstream.
Like:
Clerks & Reservoir Dogs
Creators like:
John Woo & Jackie Chan

Then there was the post-wave of movies emulating the style without the vision… they were bad.

“Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice” somehow pulls from that post-wave.

Checking Out Elden Ring's Seamless Co-Op Mod w/ Jack and Jenna YouTube video by Second Wind

Your time is a valuable thing.

A good chunk of it is just simple... some men write women badly.

There's SO MANY examples of men writing women badly that I think you can skip this one.

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) is the rare sequel that makes the first movie worse.

I adds enough information to fill in character gaps that show exactly how little character there is in our women leads.
It makes the leads significantly dumber.

If you liked Ready or Not... stay away from 2!
