Ammon and Law are joined by Batch to get down with all the week’s worthy news. They got reviews of CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR, TRIPLE 9, WHERE TO INVADE NEXT, Game of Thrones, The Family, The Path, and lots more.
Google voice is packed with movie reviews, songs, and people yelling at Law.
There is a ton to digest in this week’s episode of Game of Thrones and Law, recognizing that there’s no way all this commentary can be contained in one country, calls upon the help of Episode IV and Robert Anthony Richard aka Bob A Dick aka Creepy 209 Guy. Everything from the Lannisters listening to Justin Bieber mix tapes with Jax (seriously) to Short Round knocking Balon Greyjoy the FUCK out is happening on the show these days and the boys have plenty to say about it. There’s even some talk of the more outlandish theories that fifes like you have been coming up with and the probability of them being “a thing”.
Garrett Collins gets together for the first time in a long while to discuss his infomercial, a bunch of films, and his ridiculous standard of watching every single movie related to an upcoming release in order to satisfy his cult-ish preparatory fetish.
The boys get two call-in reviews of CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR and check out HIGH RISE, KEANU, MIDNIGHT SPECIAL, THE INVITATION, all the Marvel movies (yup, all of them), BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD DO AMERICA, and all the TREMORS movies (yup, all of them).
There’s also Google Voice, the worst movies to show in your classroom, Sass Quatch reveal reactions, and yelling. Here’s a timestamp to prove it.
0:00:00-It’s cocksucking time, you cocksuckers
0:02:00-Law and Collins have got this shit. No Moreno or Ammon. Don’t get all pissy about it. Garrett gets asked about his default rating for things. Spoiler Alert: Law tells you who Sass Quatch is. Shut up and keep it to yourself. Nobody will believe you. Also stay tuned for Monday Morning Moreno for behind the scenes info on the creation of Quatch.
0:32:04-GUHGLE VOICE. Law has sounder problems. What the fuck else is new.
1:04:00-MOVIE HOMEWORK. Mr. Bob A. Dick brings us a new sounder for this segment. The boys talk Beavis and Butthead first and then Tremors. Alex P. Keaton’s dad is the fucking boss.
1:59:50-TV ROUND UP. Law questions Garrett about Game of Thrones. Collins questions Law about M. Night’s acquisition of Tales from the Crypt. Law is still watching the family. What an asshole.
2:12:41-Random sounder from Steve Wood. Hopefully you can hear it. Maybe he’ll stop bitching about not playing it.
2:16:58-Garrett’s infamous infomercial is played.
2:24:13-WHAT DID YOU WATCH? Law kicks it off with Holidays, a horror movie anthology. He also checked out High Rise, which Collins viewed also. The latter then dives into a (3rd!) revisit of Midnight Special, The Invitation, Keanu, and a fuck ton of Marvel shit (Howard the Duck!). The “Marvels” talk continues to the conclusion of the episode, with Civil War and Spider-Man movie. Then it’s all done. Excelsior! Peace the fuck out, true believers.
The great TM switches sides of the fence and not only decides to watch this season of GoT, but he also joins Law for the season premiere commentary. The boys discuss flaccid wangs, Sansa’s plans to marry a White Walker, what the point of whatever it is the Dothraki do, and why Dorne still sucks.
And yes, we also make fun of Moreno. A lot, because he’ll never hear it. And he’ll never read this either, so fuck him and his stupid face area. #TeamLaw
It’s old school day in the Binge Media Podcast offices. That means Moreno and Law kick the shit with just the two of them reminiscing about the old way of things and dropping all their sounders from yesteryear. They even break out their very first show together and review it from beginning to cringe-worthy end.
The boys also drunk dial some listeners, battle TV Round-Up (Better Call Saul, Girls, Vinyl, Banshee, Game of Thrones, Full Frontal, and more), listen to some Google Voice, and discuss What They Watched this week (Midnight Special, Lemmy, The Jungle Book).
0:00:00-Make up some tacos, son. It’s Bingecast time.
0:02:11-Moreno and Law are your hosts, throwback style! Alright alright alright! Sass his making his way through the Binge roster, visiting all the cocksuckers. Recap of last’s weeks show, of course. Memories of a certain “old show” flood this one. Law’s voice back then was pretty sultry. Like white chocolate. Good goddamn.
0:27:29-TV ROUND UP. Banshee is first in line. #TeamLaw and #TeamMoreno alliances have been formed for Game of Thrones. Law has got more behind him (just how he likes it), and Moreno could not give a fuck. HBO’s Sunday Night Schedule is detailed, which leads to a discussion of Vinyl. Inside Amy Schumer, Last Week Tonight, Samantha Bee: Full Frontal, The Daily Show…it’s all here. Law actually liked this season of Girls. What?! Season finale of Better Saul Call is dissected by Moreno. Commentary history is debated between the two, because they like wasting our time.
1:17:12-The boys drunk dial a listener.
1:31:49-GUUGLE VOICE.
2:01:34-Call from a certain intern.
2:35:34-GOOGLE VOICE presses on.
2:43:47-Shit from old show. Also Movie Homework is delayed a week. Watch either Tremors or Beavis and Butthead Do America. Or watch both. You aren’t do anything important, right?
3:02:12-WHAT DID YOU WATCH? Moreno tangents with stories of Sass Quatch. He then moves on to his only watch of the week, titled Lemmy, a documentary about Motorhead’s Lemmy Kilmister. Law then grabs the mic and fifes all over The Jungle Book. He also gives his thoughts on Midnight Special. BMFL bullshit.
3:25:41-SMARTER OR DUMBER. The hosts pay a little tribute to the recently passed amazing artist Prince. RIP.
Even more old show stuff after Then they peace out. That’s all, fucks.
Ammon and Episode IV join Law as they find their way through so much nonsense. Almost too much nonsense. Things kick off with Valley’s obsession with our ole Big Foot buddy, Sass Quatch. That quickly becomes a delirious rant about Garrett Collins’ remarks about the ROUGE ONE trailer from last week. One or more of us immaturely lose our shit over this.
Then it’s on to Google Voice where our wonderful fans call in to yell at us, demean us in foreign languages, sing us filthy songs, and then yell at us some more.
Somewhere in here there`s a Literally Literary conversation. I think it`s here.
Movie Homework is ELECTION and it’s glorious.
TV Round-Up starts but is interrupted not once but twice by Dead Jax calling us for some reason and long time listener, El Mariachi calls in to leave a voicemail and gets the real deal. Other than those clowns, we talk about Banshee, Better Call Saul, Game of Thrones, The Family, Vinyl, The Larry Sanders Show, and more.
What Did You Watch is all about KRAMPUS, ALL THINGS MUST PASS, and THE INVITATION.
Before we go we play a stupid round of Stupid Comments. It’s stupid. Then we go.
The trifecta is once again complete as the Freak makes his return to the Game Cast. As usual he is joined by Kupka and Batch and this week they discuss some AC: Syndicate, RB6 Siege, what Black Friday deals were grabbed, and some other random shit. Watch and/or listen below. Also, stay tuned for details regarding an all-day(?) gaming event to kick off the new year.
Holy crap, even without Batch here this episode we had a shit ton of stuff to talk about. Supka actually completed his Game Assignments and then some and Episode IV even dabbled in some stuff anxiously awaiting Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. We’re glad he took time away to join us for this weeks episode. Otherwise it would have been a non-Supka’d Supka all by his lonesome. Nobody wants that. So kick back and enjoy, you can download/stream the audio only version as always. You could have also followed the link to our Twitch channel where you can watch MovieFreak play some side missions while listening but it appears our dumbasses didn’t think to test the audio on the stream prior to recording so you’re only going to hear one side of it. One day soon I swear will get this thing figured out. Until next time…
Oh and if you were like one of us and completely unfamiliar with what the hell has been going on in the Metal Gear world check out this video. It helps. Kinda.

“Oh, screw you MovieFreak!” / “Just stop watching!” / “You’re not allowed to rent here anymore!”
You probably thought at least one of those things as soon as you read the title this week, AMIRITE GUYS?!?! Yeah, last week’s article was full of some outrage on my part and quite a bit of disappointment with how far the story has gone. After considering the show and books as a whole, I’m not as upset as I was. Yes, they’ve burned kids alive before, but I think sometimes when it’s in front of your face you have a more immediate reaction to it, or at least I do. I’ve moved past it, and as Jim Law said on the BingeCast, if Stannis is dead then maybe that was a gratuitous moment that wasn’t needed (we shall see, of course). For those of you keeping score at home, this means that no, I will not tap out. I’m too far in at this point and need to know what happens in the end. It’s a necessity. All that being said, I feel as though this season was one of the better ones. I know a lot of people were complaining about the lack of action/forward movement for a stretch of the episodes but I still feel as though the pieces are moving and this season was the most “gamey” of the series thus far. The machinations were on full force and many characters had satisfying arcs. That doesn’t mean the season was perfect. In fact, I’m here to make the argument that GoT made a horrible mistake. Granted, twists and leaps of logic are always difficult to swallow, but in terms of conundrums, you won’t find one more confusing this year than where Game of Thrones ended.
************SPOILERS FOR GAME OF THRONES BELOW***********
I know what you’re saying, “That’s all JarJar Martin wrote, what do you expect?!?!” Well, yes you’re correct, but here’s the thing. My problem isn’t with the story itself, but moreso the public’s perception of what should happen and the current TMZ climate of “Let’s invade and know everything now!” The eyes of the world are now upon production for season 6 of Game of Thrones, creating a situation where JarJar, in my opinion, absolutely must put out a book before the next season airs, or else he stands to lose some money on the novels. Granted, the book readers are still going to come out in droves, but the marketing behind the next season could change drastically based on whether or not he releases this book. The great thing about writing a book is that you can’t just sneak set photos of a book being written and divulge spoilers.
The day that episode 9 of the past season aired, someone leaked the Princess Shireen sacrifice scene all over Facebook, and I do mean ALL OVER. I was innocuously checking my work’s FB page and there it was, plastered all over the place before I could even react to it. Screenshots and auto-play videos ruined the moment for me and made a hard to watch scene even more frustrating. This is where the problem lies. There’s no way in hell we won’t know what happens before JarJar or the show tells us, it’s simply the world we live in.
Kit Harrington has already been spotted at least once, according to an eye-witness, on the set of GoT in Belfast, so we KNOW he’s in the mix for next season. I understand story structure pretty well but the Jon Snow mutiny was the worst place to end the season, without question. These books have been a decades-long saga that didn’t get spoiled for me, but now they are bound to no matter what happens. All of this is due to GoT giving us a cliffhanger ending of Jon Snow getting knifed by his men, something that literally no one who watches the show wanted to happen. Hell, even the book readers were intrigued by what happened, but this will be spoiled for us before the story reveals it to us, whether it be by book or by show. Mark my words.
I know what you’re thinking, “Well then why don’t you do it better!” No, I wouldn’t and frankly I don’t get paid to so I’m not going to the well to figure this out, but the sheer amount of content that was left out of this season in favor of moving certain aspects of the story along was almost like they accelerated everything up a few notches to start moving towards the ending. All good stories need a solid three act structure, and it does feel like GoT is arcing towards the home stretch, but leaving this “Is Jon Snow alive?” question to be pondered for the next ten months might be the most damaging thing they show-runners have ever done. I’m all in at this point, there’s no turning back. I am in it for the long haul and I need to know how the story ends, plain and simple, good or bad, right or wrong. I just have a feeling that this off season will be a tough one for those of us waiting on the next book/episode. Here’s to hoping it comes sooner than expected.
