In this episode: We talk about Star Trek Bridge Crew, Wonder Woman and try to figure out what Microsoft is going to be showing at E3. Also, Shawn gets assigned a religion, check it out!

[@NathanKerce]

Garrett: You know, it was a fun ride, for a superhero movie. You got your popcorn, it's nice and long, it's a superhero movie. Derrick: Cinema is dead.

[@CGPig]

Rocco: It had a lot of mystery and weird shit in it but at the same time I'm a sucker for family stories, you know what I mean? Shawn: I felt miserable watching this movie. Eric: It was GREAT!

[@Dalimere]

I died when Garrett said "Wiz I Live"

[@Caaaaastle]

RIP :(

[@NightlySnapshot]

I can't believe Steve Austin, Steve Jobs, and Steve Baller with Steve Urkel all were in a podcast together

[@GrimHellscream]

Steve BALLER!

[@NitroRad]

Oh man I could REALLY tell that Derrick getting impatient when Rocco and Garrett were talking about Twin Peaks hahahahaa

[@shuffle_rush]

twin peaks owns

[@Trianghoul]

i loved both seasons of twin peaks through and through, with all the cheesiness and surrealism. it was a wild weird ride, one of my top favorite shows.

[@Dontrel3030]

I liked David Duchovny's character in Twin Peaks. I'm not sure if I'm remembering it right but I think he helped set up Windom Earle while simultaneously being an interesting character/connection to Cooper's past.

[@ryan_deakin]

Derrick isn't necessarily my favourite member of mega64, but I think he really knows how to run a podcast.

[@NightlySnapshot]

14:24 scarf down Press F to pay respects

[@ThioJoe]

I love how in Twin Peaks the dialogue sounds so stilted with weird pauses. Like he tells the actors to over-act or something. Some scenes feel like a bizarre fever dream.

[@braxtonm9712]

Shawn "Jim Jones" Chatfield

[@megamurg]

braxton m BALLIN'

[@niknaheartatak]

*What did Shawn edit out?* Leave a response in the comments section or as a private message if you would.

[@ultimateblong]

He called Derrick the "N" word.

[@niknaheartatak]

Tasty M'dick *Newbie ?* Damn that some harsh hate language

[@ryan_deakin]

Felt odd to not get this podcast is sponsored by Mac weldon at the beginning

[@INRamos13]

"Pirates 4 made 62 million domestic, I looked it up today" *screenshot of its 300 million domestic gross*

[@kane6472]

DeMat sad day

[@ThomasTheCure]

at world's end was the third movie. Shawn showed the wrong page

[@jonapello245]

Scrolled down to find the response to that and oh fuck you're right he did post the third movie

[@NathanKerce]

Well the movie Derrick was talking about made $241 million domestically and $90 million on its opening weekend alone. Pirates has had diminishing box office returns but he pulled the number out of his ass.

[@Shiftaws]

Wiz I Live aka Xicor aka Taboo

[@weirdlittlekid]

Derrick at the start of the podcast: "I'm gonna start my own religion." He's gonna make Shaun drink the coolaid.

[@theloserof08]

As a member of the Temple of Yosemite, I can't wait to go to Shawntown!

[@jmgnpoop3378]

will.i.am was just foreseeing the london bridge attack, but no one listened

[@Bradley.Calavera]

Rocco uses David Lynch's singing voice on crazy clown time when he's mocking Shawn

[@ultrameijin9503]

Shawn putting a little something on the kickapoos

[@thechiefscousin]

Garrett with the reference to Derrick in the Sacred Diamondz Kickstarter video at 1:00:00 had my dying

[@SYLXM]

Shawn is going to organize a genocode but with Kickapoo.

[@poortast]

What was cut out?

[@OrgoDemila]

this has been an amazing year for games, wtf

[@sugoi4983]

This comment is an homage to Will.I.Am

[@pinkishprawn7600]

Ocarina of Time Nerd *will.i.live

[@skullchildrenz]

Would Shawn be open to creating an official Mega64 religion?

[@Fallenangel4275]

Games have never been better and there's so many more high quality productions than there used to be like Witcher 3, which arguably is one of the best RPGs of all time, or Last Guardian, a game completely unique in its execution, there is absolutely nothing like it. Suggesting a reboot of Spore or No man's sky but GOOD, are not good ideas. Just sounds like Derrick has become cynical about modern videogames, which is his own problem.

[@Fallenangel4275]

Kai Tulau Heh... it will be the last thing you do, kid.

[@ancientapparition1638]

[@worm5593]

thank you

[@D4rdar]

Salty podcast, we need New Shawn back to lower the sodium levels

[@POSTELVIS]

#SHAWNSPISSED #YOUWOULDNTLIKESHAWNWHENHESANGRY

[@Camillelang]

I was ready to roll my eyes as Derrick not liking wonder woman but he had some amazing points I never even thought of. It was such a good and eloquent analysis that he just said off the top of his head. It was really cool and when I watch the movie I will definitely be thinking about what he said. Thanks Derrick.

[@HonestlyJustSomeGuy]

"I called him negative and literally the first word out of his mouth was "No."" ...Ah ha-HA!

[@shadowoc91]

The ending absolutely killed me.

[@LordBaruch]

I'm so glad I waited until the end.

[@sonicmaster987]

33:05 Mega64 ripped off Mike Stoklasa's constant comparaisons to Star Trek episodes

[@SuperJelbo]

I won't judge the new twin peaks until it's over.

[@wikedvids7670]

What the hell did shawn cut out

[@notanotherreviewer.]

I like Twin Peaks. I love the weird paranormal aspects about it, but I also love the corny soap opera stuff. The new season so far has been pretty one-sided with only focusing on the paranormal stuff, but it's not bad. They're setting up a lot of stuff, but it's hard to know if any of it is really going to pay off. The show seems to be about Cooper finding his way back to Twin Peaks, but it kind of feels like a gimmick because of the character he plays in the new season and how little progress is made every episode. I think it might start to wear a bit thin if it goes on for too long.

[@metaleggman18]

notanotherreviewer yeah, I'm not really sure how you can call yourself a Lynch fan and not appreciate how he plays on the TV melodrama and the weird "fuck you"-nature of season two.

[@TIN_Tevlev]

When will meg64 have Pat Contri as a guest on the podcast?

[@WakingNightMayor]

Shades Shawn got moxy. An admirable and inspiring "get f**ked" attitude.

[@godofacorns]

Loce Derrick's criticisms of the film and videogame industries. The push for profit kills innovation.

[@metaleggman18]

Wait, what access to games did he lose when he wasn't paying for xbox live? I know there were a few titles that *required* online, but it sounds like he's talking about Xbox live gold titles, which for 360 titles are yours to keep. Color me confused. 🤔

[@SukiWukiDookie]

Did Derrick finally overcome his disgust of feet?

[@Kevin-VP]

SukiWukiDookie i wish i could overcome it

[@pencilforge]

Ice Climbers Uprising here we come!

[@josephvaldivia7647]

26:20 I think Derek is pretty much on it when it comes to unimaginative superhero villains but I'd argue there was a small (albeit not very focused) moment after WW and Ares face off where the german soldiers and english soldiers are peaceful and not trying to kill each other. I could be remembering this wrong but there was a LITTLE bit of that union between opposing factions at the end.

[@FrankZappaInATux]

The new Twin Peaks is excellent, in my opinion. As someone who loved the finale of the second season, I'm glad it picks up right where that one left off. That being said, I personally think Rocco is too harsh when talking about the second season. Sure, it loses focus and some of the subplots go absolutely nowhere (James and Donna. UGH.), but a lot of the characters go through some really great transformations (Ben Horne

[@Bishnach]

I love how Garrett thinks Guyana is in Africa.

[@korianderbadger]

Derrick plays the giant AAA games that are advertised to him the hardest, then complains that they all play the same. if you really want something different, play more niche titles. whatever time period you think games were actually "original" in, I guarantee people back then complained about trends just like you do today

[@kerokeropoonito]

judging from older podcasts, I think Derrick plays "niche games" the most out of the group. I think he just doesn't like all these big games made by all these big western companies, I get it cause I'm in the same position right now. They're for the most part pretty safe and uninteresting.

[@korianderbadger]

faris b while I can see where he is coming from and more or less agree that modern AAA plays it very safe, I have to ask if things have really changed that much, and if 10-20-30 years ago, everyone wasn't just following some other trends. people have been saying that originality is gone for decades.

[@CozyBanx]

Derrick is the one that always brings up smaller games, christ I think he was talking about stuff like Crusader Kings a couple podcasts ago. And he's right, these are the games pushed to the forefront for public acknowledgement and consumption and they are incredibly derivative, safe, and boring because over time it has become more profitable to keep making the same game as opposed to attempting to make something that sells because it is novel to the public.

[@korianderbadger]

CozyBanx that's just the nature of that specific "market" of entertainment. Its the tragedy of the commons. Keep playing AAA titles and expecting them to magically be original come e3 is like watching superhero movies and expecting them to magically decide to be original. By buying their lazy products, you are incentivising laziness.

[@korianderbadger]

And when he plays something "mainstream" instead he complains that they are all the same. Maybe, instead of coming back to a bad experience over and over, just don't bother? Why should anyone expect creativity out of the lowest common denominator?

[@Vann1.8]

When is Shawn going to be fired?

[@headknocker2020]

Can we pre order the book yet? I might have missed a previous podcast where they mentioned it.

[@Kalazar321]

The book is still being worked on. Probably won't be available for a while still.

[@Zebuza]

thanks for that rant derrick! word up!

[@lilturders]

Shawn and Derrick looking very bored

[@OGR-4394]

Strongly disagree with skipping Season 2, there's still so much good stuff there, particularly with Leland's character. If you finish S1 and like those characters, then you'll absolutely enjoy S2

[@HigginsInJapan]

Best intro ever

[@quietstorm10000]

Funny podcast ⭐️⭐️1/2 stars .

[@Mitchell_Parent]

s/o to Shawn on the religion thing. s/o to Twin Peaks. Even if the second season of the original had moments of boring as hell interactions and failed themes, it's still bomb. Thst said the most important about Twin Peaks is that it's like a painting or a song, you don't have to understand it to enjoy it. s/o to Derrick on movies.The caliber needs to go up. There seems to be even a basic lack of passion for thoughtful cinematography. s/o to the ghost I saw for a few frames appearing at 22:34. most ppl wont be able to see it but its the 3rd time i saw it this year and it likes to stand behind rocco. s/o to fuck e3. s/o to Garrett.

[@LairdPrydae]

Please someone remind me where the "Eyaitwuzme" line came from. I cannot fucking find that video.

[@cxm0d]

is that derrick's favorite shirt?

[@Bizza12345]

Why dont you just tell us to press 'f' to pay respects this episode lawd

[@SammyNail]

Id lose my shit if Nintendo announced a new F-Zero

[@owensoft]

this dude needs to review movies. he knows his shit!

[@lourahkneeri0229]

Just watched the re release of end game with a new clip of carl winslow...

[@TheMooringLine]

Twin Peaks episodes 10-16 are filler. The rest of the show is 100% Gold.

[@StrawberryDonutKing]

this was a great podcast

[@selfdribblingbasketball9769]

They should have titled this BraveCast441

[@SadisticCanada]

why does that fijian guy alwasy look so bored when the nerds talk?

[@SadisticCanada]

actually I think hes Indian

[@fiizz01]

Derrick how do you satisfy your passion for film when the majority of the films you discuss on the podcast tends to be either passable or shit? Talk about some movies you watched and enjoyed recently! I'd like to know!

[@turkeysamwich00]

why do you all pronounce minions as minny-uns?

[@klumboli]

dang why derrick so close to the mic, this aint asmr son

[@Eyeoot]

Derrick saying filmmaking is dead is absolutely absurd. You're making sketches on youtbe, man. if you look at Cannes this year its pretty obvious film is alive and well. Hollywood sucks but that isnt all there is.

[@mega64]

wow sick burn eyeoot

[@Eyeoot]

im sorry

[@graysonbridges2115]

I tend to agree with Derrick, but I don't really understand his argument for why filmmaking is getting worse. There are countless films that have come out in the past five years alone that have pushed the medium.

[@beverlydingus1730]

soylent green IS people!

[@grapeking4703]

So Derek wants an American movie? Get ready Tommy Cruise has a new movie called American Made coming out September. How much more of an American movie can u get

[@OGR-4394]

david lynch 13:44

[@MaxisRichtofen]

pc online gaming is still free, 60 bucks a year for xbox/playstation is hot garbage

[@metalwreck450]

*complains about hollywood being unimaginative* *watches every single generic superhero movie that comes out* Do...you not see a connection here?

[@ToMaSsS10]

metalwreck450 he doesn't watch them

[@FlippinT]

I can't believe Shawn hates Jews

[@jakejones3501]

Shawn, alt right posterboy.

[@metaleggman18]

Angel Valenzuela Shawn "White Christian Ethnostate" Chatfield

[@thalunizz21]

Ya niggas are the best. Really deserve more subs. Rocco is still a fanboy.

[@wombatio]

Derrick, please... It's not 'the World' that's the problem, it's China. Every single action/superhero movie is made only to appeal to Chinese audience. Even with all the restrictions and the so-called "domestic movie protection period", China is the biggest source of income for Hollywood abroad. As sad as it is, all Chinese people want to see in movies is good action and special effects, something that's lacking in their own lame productions.

[@shinjimikej]

you guys got lynched

[@cfalcon07]

I want that Derrick enamel pin so bad ugh. Anyone willing to sell theirs? Lol

[@hyperdrivepics]

If we're talking E3 predictions/wishes, I'd love splitscreen multiplayer on Sony and Microsoft consoles again.

[@greyprince]

You guys are legends. Just that. 💪

[@sdgaara2]

Finally, an honest review of Wonder Woman.

[@JG-op8fh]

42:30

[@eedlopeeeedlop219]

30 seconds in already complaining about harmless comments. Pls chill guys

[@OcarinaOfTimeNerd]

Same

[@Brimbo]

Nah man its aaight. It was a tribute.

[@kerokeropoonito]

yeah for like literally half a second, complaining about them complaining is even more annoying

[@MrYogo1]

Mega64 have always been really douchy to their fan. Really hard being a fan sometimes.

[@halomasterr117]

quit then poor guy, it must be rly hard what a tragedy for you man god bles

[@PainterX97]

i wondered how they were talking about playing Star Trek thinking "oh shit rocco got a vive?" *PSVR* oh god thats not remotely the same experience.

[@mega64]

PSVR rules bro

[@metaleggman18]

Mega64 he didn't say it didn't. But it's factual that the experiences are completely different. The vive just has way more tech shown on the tin, and it's tech that matters.

[@petinapetina]

david duchovny is playing a trans woman, not a man in drag

[@esubalol]

i totally agree with derrick, the nazi stuff is so fucking tired. same with zombies. i mean, they literally made a video about that problem YEARS ago.

[@ChadVanHalen5150]

David Lynch plays Parker guitars? Christ, he IS pretentious

[@jakejones3501]

PURELY played stream is the fusion of Garrett Hunter's Poorly Played stream and Charls Carroll's(of Million Dollar Extreme fame) PURE GAMING stream. Make it happen

[@UnitingMilk]

i miss eric a lot

[@TheGrades90]

May the June 4th be with you.

[@WHETO666]

incoming derrick foot fetish comment 👣👣👅👅😩😩

[@boomsta559]

rocko the DESSERT

[@plasmablackmusic]

Shawn really edited out that jew thing huh?

[@RandomAssaultPodcast]

I would very much love to know what this 'jew thing' was

[@thomasleon9550]

Random Assault Podcast In the beginning he says "no, god no" when Derrick asked him if he was Jewish. There was then a bit that was supposed to be kinda accusing Shawn for being anti-semitic. Kinda glad they cut it out though cause it prevented potential unnecessary offensive comments and didn't really take that much away from that segment, don't really need "Shawn is a Nazi" jokes for the next month.

[@plasmablackmusic]

naw

[@RandomAssaultPodcast]

that's fair, I know sometimes the fans get a little carried away (hell I participated in the 'what nationality is Derrick' joke for probably longer than need lol)

[@MrYogo1]

Thomas Leon god they cut that out?! Fuck

[@shadowfoxgaming6657]

twin peaks sounds and looks meh I played Alan Walk which I heard it's a lot like twin peaks

[@woodyfentress]

Shadowfox nope not really. Alan Wake is stylistically inspired by Twin Peaks and set in a similar world. It shares so little else. Twin Peaks is more about the characters and their development. Watch the first few of the new season and you'll know if you are interested. Weird art house murder mystery / psychotropic demon romp.
