@Th3solution To be fair, this is the quiz with the multiple choice question ‘What did Homer describe as the food of the gods’ (Ambrosia) where one of the answers was Donuts and both contestants were convinced that it was the right answer.
It was asking which Sony video game console the site covered, the guy said Xbox lol. It was an early question so it wasn't multiple choice.
The answer was abit weird as it was simply Sony Playstation, which yes obviously but given the question mentioned Sony it felt like the answer was going to be PS5 specifically or something.
Anyway it was so bizarre to suddenly hear PushSquare mentioned on TV lol
Just renewed my Shudder subscription for this month. got alot of old shows on Shudder to binge watch catch up on.
Eli Roth's History of Horror, Cursed Films II, Creepshow Season 1, Channel Zero, and see whats the big deal about the Joe Bob Briggs Jamboree from last month
@BlaizeV That's brilliant. A question that niche makes me think someone from their production team is a lurker on here. Might even be Ben Shepherd himself. We see you Ben. Show yourself.
"A corpse... should be left well alone. Oh, I know very well. How the secrets beckon so sweetly. Only an honest death will cure you now. Liberate you, from your wild curiosity." - Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower.
Just finished watching the first episode of Gen V on Prime Video. This show is just as bonkers as The Boys, what an absolutely crazy first episode! This will definitely satisfy me until S4 of The Boys comes out.
@MightyDemon82 Might have to see if I can squeeze Castlevania in as part of spooky season! Really liked the previous series but I had no idea what was going on most the time! 😂
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
Eli Roth's HIstory of Horror doc show on Shudder ive been going through since yesterday. a fun show to learn about some odd hidden gems like Body Double
Been showing my younger brother the Doctor Who he was too young for, in preparation for the new episodes next month. We’ve gotten through Series 1-3 of New Who and the first series of Torchwood so it’s just Tennant’s last season and the second season of Torchwood to catch up. Love and Monsters is still incredible and camp and has aged bizarrely well. The run of episodes at the end of the third season is mental as well, with the two part Family of Blood story followed by Blink and the three part finale. We even loved the oft-maligned Voyage of the Damned, it’s just utterly ludicrous at every turn and is exactly the sort of bombastic blockbuster that works at Christmas, I have vivid memories of watching it glued to the telly back in ‘07. I’m a big Kylie stan so of course I wished she came back for more.
I’ve also been listening to more of the audio plays, which range from alright to some of the best Who content out there. Neverland, the finale to a two-series long arc involving the Eighth Doctor and his companion, was a perfect way to resolve the story while opening new doors. Did end on a cliffhanger that I don’t think was resolved for over a year though!
Spare Parts was probably one of the best I’ve listened to as well, it’s a Cyberman origin story and what the episode with Trigger from Only Fools and Horses was based on. It’s incredibly dark though, like pitch black, which could never even begin to be aired. The combination of body horror and the droning electrical saws of conversion really stuck with me, it’s reminiscent of early David Lynch and Cronenberg. There’s a whole scene where a character you’ve been following is converted and then returns home after her programming fails to complete and the odd electrical wails she gives off as she recognises her father and brother is genuinely upsetting, not in an emotional way but in a sort of visceral, disturbing way. It’s the fact that it’s so believable that gets me, away from the twin planet stuff, it’s an alternate London where what can be described as climate change is killing the population and they turn to cybernetics to stay alive. It’s truly brilliant and something you would only get from the audio plays.
The Rapture - An audio Doctor Who adventure so mind-boggling awful that it makes a lot of the Chibnall stories seem good. I love Sylvester McCoy but his shouting of the terrible dialogue (Gustavoooo whyyyyyy being a highlight) and Sophie Aldred being almost unlistenable for a whole episode is astounding, they’re the regulars! A couple of truly garbage guest stars, plus… Tony Blackburn (???) propel it towards the worst of Who as a whole. The trance soundtrack is so dated it’s sort of funny, complete with trance remix Doctor Who theme. I couldn’t even begin to describe the actual plot, it’s just mad. And this story came after three all-time-greats!
