185- Almost Accurate Goes on Strike

•

It's 2023 and there's another writers strike, and we at Almost Accurate are going to take the very bold position that if you do work for someone, you should get paid fairly for that! Again, don't want to be too controversial, that's just how we feel.


We've got a big episode full of news this fortnight and of course the writer's strike is the biggest one of all and is affecting most of our news stories with all of the productions that are now halted, but we do still have a few morsels that are still floating around out there.


The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is releasing imminently, Eva Longoria has made a movie about the true story of the creation of Flaming Hot Cheetos, Disney + and Hulu are planning on merging (sort of... well kinda) Hollow Knight Silksong has been delayed, and Beetlejuice 2 is finally, FINALLY going to come out in the fall of 2024.

  • 279- Obsession

    01:45:58|
    This week on Almost Accurate: Marvel’s Wolverine isn’t doing so hot critically and with the fans, possibly a reflection on the general sentiment of Sony and PlayStation at the moment Hideo Kojima is thriving in his post breakup with Sony and is happy to trot out some more Hollywood actors in his new partnership with Xbox Resident Evil is scroing quite well on Rotten Tomatoes The boys are delving deep into the new Gen Z sensation Obsession. Honestly, it’s good that good movies are coming out. We love to not be serious when we’re doing this podcast, but at the end of the day we love actually watching and talking about movies that are good, and Obsession gives us hope for the new generation, and the movie industry as a whole. We’ve been through some fallow periods, and hopefully we can read a harvest of creativity and a bit of originality in the future. All of this and more on this week’s episode of Almost Accurate!
