Almost Accurate
176- CyberPunk Edgerunners, Blade Runner & Blade Runner 2049
Jake had quite the dytpotian weekend. Home alone and it was time to watch some movies set in a rather depressing futuristic setting. How does Blade Runner stack up as a movie watching experience in 2022? Answer- not super well it turns out! Surely the seuqel Blade Runner 2049 improves upon that well established formula right? Well… it sort of does, but it also sort’ve does certain things much much worse as it turns out.
But it’s not all glowing neon gloom and doom! CyberPunk Edgerunners is out on Netflix and it turns out to actually be a really, really solid and well made anime. MUCH of an improvmenet over that mess of a game that CD Projket Red put out a few years ago (yes I know they’ve patched it a bunch, it’s just not very fun to play). As it turns out, well -written characters that you care about and performances from people that don’t sound like they’ve just been woken up from a mid-morning nap (looking at you Keanu Reeves) makes for an interesting formula! WHO WOULD’VE THOUGHT THAT????!!
Also the boys talk about Tom Hanks saying he’s only been in 4 good movies (and what they think they are…. let’s face it, it’s gotta be Turner and Hooch), James Earl Jones is officially retiring from acting…. kind of….. and more!

265- Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat, Jake visits Super Potato
01:20:09|This week on Almost Accurate:The boys are finally back after a lengthy break and you’re probably going to be able to tell! Jake watched the very mid Tron Ares compliments of in-flight entertainment Ryan has checked in on the first two episodes of The BoysThey both reminsece about Covid-era shows and the bizare ways that productions had to adapt, and pitch a very viable Covid version of Supermartket Sweep (ABC feel free to phone us). They’ve both watched (checks notes) Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat (damn what a title). A show that is both equal parts funny, and equal parts probably trying just a bit too hard. Jake vists Super Potato in Tokyo’s Akihabra district on the hunt for vintage Japanese GameBoy carts. All this and more!!
