RPGrinders EP 769 - Pizza Shit

HO HO Holy shit...I'm making the same joke I made last year! That's right! I lack creativity. So deal with it and get ready to deal with another episode of gaming news, movie reviews, a brand-new holiday themed tournament, the Stinkos, the Sweetos, and the everything Betweenos.  

The year may be winding down, but the news just won't quit. New games like Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs and a remaster of Beyond Good & Evil are still being announced. The year isn't even done with game releases, as FF7 Ever Crisis and Cookie Cutter are releasing this month. It's not too soon to start planning for next year with games like Cupid Parasite: Sweet & Spicy Darling and Unfortold: Witchstone scheduled for 2024 releases.

The holidays may be the season of cheer and goodwill, but it is also the season of long cold nights. After a long day of working and a long night of holiday shopping, it might be nice to go home and relax. Sit down in your favorite chair, light up the fireplace, pour yourself an ice-cold eggnog, and roll that holiday kush for an evening of Hollywood entertainment. Disney's best TV show returns for a second season of time skipping with the mischievous god, Loki. Max adds a new superhero to the live action roster, the Blue Beetle. For those who prefer to see their movies in a theater, the Marvels and Godzilla Minus One might not be couch ready but they are definitely worth the time.

The holidays maybe a time of joyful celebration but it wouldn't be RPGrinders without the Stinkos! Crooked politicians always make the Stinko list, even when they die. Some members of our government continue to ramp up their war on minority groups. They continue to push their religious views and disproven conspiracies about the LGBTQ+ community. These joy hating scrooges want to force gay orphans to live under religious oppression. Bah humbug to the scrooges. Bah humbug * 1000 to the genocidal maniacs and their bloodlust.  

The Stinkos may be naughty but the Sweetos are here to bring back the nice for this holiday season. What would the holidays be like without family? Less stressful. Family can be great but it can be just as great to get away from bad family members. As Frank celebrate his victory on the home front, another Grinder makes a tiny step in finding his Pride. Break got some new gay earrings. They are only gay because he is wearing them.

The holiday season just wouldn't be the same without a new tournament! That's right! What better way to celebrate the holidays than a tournament death match?! The 32 best holiday movies! Christmas, New Years Eve, Hanukkah, and even Groundhogs Day go head-to-head but there can only be one day of Christmas! Can Will Farrell's Buddy the Elf save Christmas and slay the tournament competition? (Victory tastes good but not as good as syrup on spaghetti.) Will Bill Murray's character reform his life while dodging Bobcat's shotgun and physically abusive ghosts? (He could really use a proton pack.) Does Adam Sandler's character find redemption after 8 Crazy Nights and give the only Hanukkah movie the power to fight the "War on Christmas"? ("The War on Christmas" lol some people are very stupid.) Is Die Hard the best holiday movie? (John McClain kills terrorists and blows shit up while dropping funny quips. What could be more Christmas than that?) Does Batman's holiday Return strike fear into the hearts of the competition? (It should. Three words: Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman.) Can Bill Murray and the rest of the Ghostbuster's save the new year from a genocidal ghost and 31 other holiday movies? (SEE! Told you he could have used a proton pack.) Will Krampus be able to overcome all of the Holiday cheer? (Note to self: In the middle of a blizzard. Don't let your teenage daughter walk to her boyfriend's house.) Is representing two holidays cheating? (Trading Places says no.) Is Jim Carrey's green meanie going to steal Christmas from the happy little Woos and victory from the rest of the tournament competitors? (Jim Carrey was MEANT to play characters with green faces.)

The holidays are just beginning. Time is running out. So if you kiddies haven't tricked your parents into thinking you were a good kid all year long, you still have some time! Just like all good kids, be sure to download RPGrinders and listen every week! All good parents make sure their children never miss an episode.

 

 

Important Announcement. Repeat after me: Die Hard IS a Christmas movie. Gremlins IS a Christmas movie. Lethan Weapon IS a Christmas movie. Groundhog's Day is NOT a Christmas movie.

 

 

 

 

 

 

You better not cry. You better not shout. The RPGrinders know if you have been Stinko or Sweeto.
