S2:E41 – The Office TV Opening

When the cubicle walls seem like a towering oceanfront fortress and the copy machine a glimmering treasure of plunder, one might begin to wonder if there is a viking buried deep inside oneself. One may long for the freedom of the sea and the roar of battle, but when the true histories are read, one will find that even during those heady days, HR was close behind.

This week, we watched The Office TV Opening on loop.

Aaron Littleton cohosts and heads over to Accounting. John Hurst co-hosts and beats a drum.

S2:E40 – The Elder Scrolls VI Teaser

We are not immune to the siren call of E3. Traffic, there for the taking and desperately needed, is locked only behind one’s ability to produce proper SEO-focused content to rise to the top of the Google search results. As such, behold: everything you need to know about The Elder Scrolls VI teaser trailer. We reveal AS MUCH OR MORE of the game as any other podcast.

John Hurst hosts and talks about Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Aaron Littleton C.O.H.O.S.T.s and shares things about mutual funds.

S2:E39 – On This Perfect Burger

Some years ago, noted man Nick Divers posted this video to Instagram and Tumblr and marginally increased the value of this communications medium known as the internet. Featuring a wayward burger plastered to a rain slick window while Hoku’s sugary pop jam “Perfect Day” blasts in the background, the video invites all who view it to emotionally connect with a sandwich. And, by and large, we do. We definitely do.

Needing a bit of pickup, we watched the video on loop something like 160 times.

Aaron Littleton hosts this episode and distributes Starbursts safely. John Hurst co-hosts and sneaks some meat.

S2:E38 – Mathnasium Transformations Commercial

I’m sure…I’m sure the Mathnasium advertising department meant well. I’m sure someone very intelligent thought these animated characters would help kids connect with math. I’m sure, somewhere along the pipe, the designs were created by someone who knew a thing or two about art and approved by someone who only had the best of intentions in mind. I’m sure of all of these things.

And yet.

This Mathnasium commercial is one of the strangest things I’ve seen in a very long time. And I had to watch it over and over and over until I internalized its bizarre logic.

John Hurst hosts this week and determines the area of a pyramid. Aaron Littleton co-hosts and talks about F.A.C.T.S.

S2:E37 – Final Fantasy The Spirits Within Trailer

Riding high on the success of the Playstation era Final Fantasy games, Squaresoft bet the farm on an experimental form of realistic CG storytelling about a decade before the technology was really ready for it. Highly anticipated (by nerds) and mildly panned (by the same nerds) Final Fantasy The Spirits Within was the culmination of a video game studio at the height of excess. Honestly that’s all I remember about it, which is why we talked about Clerks instead.

Here’s the Final Fantasy The Spirits Within trailer we tried very hard not to watch.

Aaron Littleton is your host this week and gets all the movies early. John Hurst is your co-host and looks at a shelf.
