by Solomon Encina and David Naple
Two good friends, Sol and Dave, chat about all the areas of pop culture that tickle their fancy - usually centering around classic video games and animated movies. Sometimes it's civil, sometimes... not so much, but it's always entertaining (hopefully...). Either way, the guys almost always walk away asking the question: "Why Do I Talk to You?"

Ep. 27 - The Incredibles 2
As promised, this week Sol and Dave return to discuss The Incredibles 2: One of the most eagerly anticipated animated films in years. Coming from the classic that is The Incredibles, this movie has some pretty big shoes to fill and expectations to meet. How does it hold up as a movie in its own...
-
Ep. 26 - The Incredibles
In preparation for discussing Pixar's latest release, The Incredibles 2, Dave and Sol return to what many (especially Dave) consider one of, if not the best, movie in Pixar's extremely successful history: The Incredibles. What makes this movie stand out so much from the pack, and is watching it...
-
Ep. 25 - Rhythm Games
Spurred on by a sudden renewed interest in Final Fantasy Theatrythm, Sol and Dave take some time in this episode to discuss the odd world of rhythm games. Rhythm games have taken many forms and shapes from the early days of the genre until now. How have some of those games affected the guys, and...
-
Ep. 24 - Avengers: Infinity War
On this episode, Sol and Dave get a chance to talk about something relevant again as they somehow both made time in their schedules to see this summer's biggest blockbuster, Avengers: Infinity War, in theaters. Expectations were all over the place for this one, but it's hard to remember any movie...
-
Ep. 23 - VGM: Top 6 Western Tracks
Back by popular demand, Dave and Sol return to video game music to discuss their top 6 VGM tracks written by western composers. Japanese composers tend to get all the spotlight with video games' roots and greater cultural impact stemming from the Land of the Rising Sun, but plenty of excellent...
-
Ep. 22 - Final Fantasy VIII
This episode, Sol and Dave discuss perhaps one of the most controversial games in the Final Fantasy series in the form of Final Fantasy VIII. Coming on the heels of the series' biggest hit up to that point in the acclaimed FFVII, how did VIII try to mix things up and build off of what it had…

Ep. 21 - Pokemon: The First Movie
On this episode, Sol and Dave discuss a crucial part of their childhood: Mewtwo Strikes Back, aka, Pokemon: The First Movie. From nostalgic stories of seeing it in theatres almost 20 years ago, to all the peripheral merchandise it inspired them to partake in (especially the soundtrack filled with...
-
Ep. 20 - Kung Fu Panda
The guys return to Dreamworks to discuss arguably their most successful franchise in recent memory: Kung Fu Panda. It was a concept that seemed destined to fall into ridiculous kids movie obscurity, but it somehow managed to garner critical acclaim and spawn two sequels that are worth full…

Ep. 19 - Pixar's Ratatouille
It took nineteen episodes (for some reason), but this time Sol and Dave finally discuss a Pixar movie, taking a look at the 2007 film Ratatouille. Considered by some to be something of a black sheep of the Pixar filmography due to focusing on a topic many find off-putting (namely rats), this film...
-
Ep. 18 - Video Game Music: Our Favorites
On this episode, Dave and Sol combine two of their biggest passions (video games and music) and run through each of their top five favorite video game music tracks. Ranging from the days of the NES all the way to the PC in 2015, their selections definitely run the gamut. Some you may recognize....
-
Ep. 17 - Star Wars VIII: The Last Jedi
It's finally happened. After a long series of agreements, Sol and Dave have finally found a topic they disagree vehemently about, and of course it would be Star Wars: The Last Jedi. There seem to be no easy lines to draw among the many differing opinions about this movie as casual and hardcore…
more -
Ep. 16 - Super Mario Odyssey
For the first time in a long time (thanks to a generous mutual friend!), Dave and Sol have a game in common to discuss: Nintendo's blockbuster hit, Super Mario Odyssey. The game has received almost universal praise, and now it's time for the guys to weigh in. From the view of one man with…
more -
Ep. 15 - "Open World" Games & Superhero Movies
On this episode, Sol and Dave discuss a pair of burning questions that have been rolling around in their minds for some time: how is the sudden shift towards "open world" games affecting the gaming scene and game design, and if (or perhaps when) the comic book movie bubble is set to burst. Both…

Ep. 14 - The Jungle Book (2016)
On this episode, Sol and Dave tackle Disney's 2016 live-action/CG remake of the beloved classic: The Jungle Book. And boy do they tackle hard. In the mid 2010's, Disney decided it would be super cool and totally not lazy or uncreative at all to remake all of their most beloved animated features…
more -
Ep. 13 - Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
This week, Dave and Sol excitedly jump head first into one of their favorite movies: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. The movie may have technically been a box-office bomb, but it remains a cult classic that introduced thousands to Bryan Lee O'Malley's beloved graphic novel series turned multimedia...
-
Ep. 12 - Epic Mickey
In honor (?) of the seventh anniversary of its release, Dave and Sol revisit a strange little piece of video game history: Epic Mickey. This Wii-exclusive title was supposed to herald the beginning of Disney's major commitment to the video gaming scene. Instead, it led almost directly to the...
-
Ep. 11 - Pokemon Sun and Moon
On the eve of the release of Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Sol and Dave return to Pokémon Sun and Moon, the games that kicked off the 7th generation of Pokémon. Gen 7 was undoubtedly one of the biggest shakeups in the history of the series. What worked and what didn't? And what did the…
more -
Ep. 10 - My Neighbor Totoro
For their tenth episode, Dave and Sol decide to do something a little different: watch and review a movie that neither has ever seen before! Namely, "My Neighbor Totoro." The guys have always been interested in watching more Studio Ghibli films, so the classic that gave the company its mascot…
more -
Ep. 9 - The Road to El Dorado
It's finally time. Following episode after episode of constant ribbing, Sol and Dave finally tackle Dreamworks' The Road to El Dorado head on. Have the constant complaints from their audience and a fresh viewing helped to change the guys' views on this quirky animated film? Or are things just as...
-
Ep. 8 Addendum - A Christian's Perspective
As if they hadn't talked about Final Fantasy X enough, the guys (specifically Dave) felt like they left some things yet unsaid in their longest episode to date. In this short side episode, Dave (with the assist from Sol) talks about the often negative religious imagery in FFX and what it means…
more -
Ep. 8 - Final Fantasy X
On this episode, Sol and Dave get into a long form discussion on one of the few games in the Final Fantasy series both have played: Final Fantasy X. The guys discuss the gameplay, storytelling, emotions, and music of one of the most unique, game-changing, and perhaps controversial games in this...
-
Ep. 7 - Disney's Tarzan
Sol and Dave return to Disney animation to discuss Tarzan, a movie that has divided the Disney fan-base for over a decade and a half. It turns out the guys have some differing opinions on it too. Widely considered the last movie in Disney's groundbreaking "Renaissance Era," was it really so bad…
more -
Ep. 6 - Mario & Luigi: Superstar Sage
In honor of the game's remake for the Nintendo 3DS, Dave and Sol take a look back at one of their favorite RPGs: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. Among other things, the guys discuss how the original game feels after some time away, their opinion on the state of Mario RPGs, and how motivated they...
-
Ep. 5 - Moana
On this episode, Dave and Sol decide to dive into the latest film from Walt Disney Animation Studios: Moana. Somehow, the guys neglected to talk much about it when considering the 2nd Disney Renaissance. Does that mean they dislike it? Are they just sort of indifferent? Tune in to find out their...
-
Ep. 4 - Fighting Games
On this episode, Dave and Sol jump in to the topic of fighting games - even though jump ins are definitely not safe. The guys are far from "good" at, well, just about any fighters, but that hasn't stopped them from playing the snot out of the ones they love and having some pretty unique stories…
more -
Ep. 3 - Undertale
On this episode, Dave and Sol (somewhat reluctantly) dive into one of the biggest internet topics of the past two years: Toby Fox's hit indie title, Undertale. The game instantly exploded in popularity upon it's initial release in September of 2015, and now it's been ported to both PS4 and PS…
more -
Ep. 2 - The 2nd Disney Renaissance
On this episode, Sol and Dave discuss the original Disney Renaissance period (from "The Little Mermaid" to "Tarzan") before tackling Disney's current period of prolonged success starting with "The Princess and the Frog." Is it a Disney Revival? Rebound? Resurgence? Or is it truly worthy of being...
