Episode 517 - Why don't movies feel REAL anymore?

It's time for another Mind Gap Podcast! This week, Doug and Justin start off with a few stories. Justin enrages Doug by recounting an experience of being caught in a line of cars that stretched over a quarter mile, all waiting to get into a newly opened Raising Cane's. After venting on the absolute absurdity of this, Doug lightens the mood with a story about how his daughter sent him her first GIF and how her sarcastic comedy chops are getting stronger. The dorks fanboy for a bit about Gunchpot's new Dragonball Abridged series on YouTube. Even if you're not in the Dragonball nerdom, you should still check out this incredible series. Finally, they spend the rest of the episode talking about why movies don't feel real anymore. From over-processed images to the rise of AI to a lack of risks being taken in storytelling, they do their best to nail down a logical reason.   Things are wrapped up with a new game called Patch Notes: Real Life Edition, where Doug reads out patch notes for real life and Justin has to decide if they're good or if they should be scrapped as garbage.   Check out our YouTube channel where we livestream our new podcast episodes every Tuesday at 8pmCT and our video game stream every Saturday at 8pmCT.
