Triforce!

[@thefinal9923]

Pyrion will literally never convince me that Dota is a good game.

[@khazan99]

Agreed. Though bless his little pointed head for never giving up trying to convince us! ;)

[@sam23696]

And nothing will convince Pyrion that anything that everybody else likes is good either

[@CurtisOvard]

however the dota sires on Netflix is good

[@thefinal9923]

@@CurtisOvard Is there more than one season? I remember I watched the first one when it came out because why not, and it wasn't bad. I'd watch more if it was out. But Pyrion isn't happy about it of course

[@CurtisOvard]

@@thefinal9923 yeah I think there are 3 now.

[@Crowbars2]

24:49 - Pyrion's John Lennon impression is spot on! Other than the fact that John was really abusive towards Julian, so he'd probably be yelling and swearing.

[@Rg-es9kv]

I love zoning out at this festival talk, no idea what they are on about but its very cozy!

[@pdudOG]

This is the first mention i've ever heard of any band called Bush

[@Wyattporter]

Allegedly they’re one of the most successful bands of the 90’s, but I’ve never heard of them before. I think this is a psyop

[@TheBuckteeth100]

The song glycerine is pretty popular. You might recognize it. Especially of you're an alternative rock fan

[@laxattack032]

Do not look them up. You are better off this way. It's not good.

[@Tofuey]

Glycerine, Machine Head, and Comedown are pretty good songs by them

[@loganforsythe3966]

They had a few good ones. Still hear a few on the radio. Another 90s grunge band. Popular around the same time as nirvana

[@Bailey97206]

the reason for john wicks rampage is that his wife died and left him the puppy as a memento, killing the dog was killing the last connection he had to his wife

Each time one of the three guys says that "we've talked about this", we need some triforce lunatic in the comments that lets us know if it's true or not.

[@dankirt15]

Let me tell you, it's mostly true, I don't have the episodes to hand. But I'm on my 3rd run through and let me tell you, these guys go in circles week after week and it always just gets funnier and funnier every time

[@SpaceMissile]

@@dankirt15 third run through? you actually re-listen to all the episodes? not judging or anything, i'm just a one-and-done kind of guy.

[@dankirt15]

@@SpaceMissile I've been listening for years, but in between other things. triforce is just always good quality funny background noise for my travels to work or while I'm tidying up and stuff. Also there's a lot of nostalgia for the things I was doing when I first heard the episodes.

[@SpaceMissile]

@@dankirt15 understandable. I kinda do that with their other series (e.g.: tekkit, Skyrim, etc.)

[@adamcummings20]

John Wick isn't supposed to be the good guy, he's a professional assassin haha

[@herecomesaregular8418]

Kind of like how the assholes of the world idolize The Punisher, whereas the original author intentionally wrote him as a cautionary tale about a PTSD sufferer who used "punishing" wrongdoers as an excuse for soothing his violent side.

[@dragonhide5428]

John Wick is the kind of film that reminds me what a great experience you can have at a cinema, all of the action is carefully choreographed and wonderfully shit. Yes it is silly from an objective point of view but the spectacle and the thrill is brilliant

[@Terinije]

Pyrion took Sips' mantle over being mad at music this podcast.

[@BasiclyChris]

We need an updated compilation of Pyrion's impressions, that John Lennon is an all-timer.

[@jeffnicholson663]

love lewis' pillsbury doughboy impression at 39:42

[@RedSntDK]

Oh man, 42:36 - I recently rewatched "Falling Down", what a fucking classic. Still holds up so well imo. Just an unhinged guy that finally snaps, it's great. Now that's a movie they should remake, although I don't know how they would do it what with everyone having smartphones. That's probably why every tv-series now a days has to take place in the past, because you can't keep a plot going for very long with cell phones everywhere.

[@navire_]

Hahaha pflax's john lennon impression was really funny

[@fizzthewizard]

it was so good! I choked on my coffee

[@TheBuckteeth100]

Yeah it was perfect. Except he was a terrible father to Julian and abandoned him. Paul McCartney wrote the song "hey jude" about Julian.

[@lin90210]

Rick Moranis quit showbiz because his wife died and he decided to look after his children. He's great. Loveable geek type characters in films.

I love how pyrion thinks John wick was meant to be the good guy. He is the boogie man who the bad guys are scared of. I love the term gun porn. Wick movies are fun with freinds movies.

[@muz111]

I mean, surely if a guy is killing a load of bad guys, that in turn, makes them kind of good? He may not have the moral high ground as he is still killing, but less bad guys in the world would be a good thing

[@joshconfer209]

@@muz111 Does it make you the good guy if your MO is mass murder? Maybe it equals out in the moral hierarchy.

[@a.garcha199]

He seems to always criticise main characters when they are not the "good guy." For somebody who says anime is bad and just for kids he seems to not want any nuance in his characters.

[@muz111]

@@joshconfer209 It all comes into context though doesn't it? If the character is murdering children, innocent bystanders, then no, they are not a good guy. If the guy in question is murdering people who have done horrible things, then sure, maybe murder isn't the best solution, but he is still only targeting the worst of society and making the world a better place to live. Context means everything.

[@joshconfer209]

@@muz111 Depends on you perspective I suppose. At least few of those low level thugs he killed with a double tap to the brain were probably fathers, brothers, taking care of sick parents. I love the movies for sure, but wick did go on a killing spree for a dog and car. Not exactly key to the city material lol.

THE BACKWASH STORY IS BACK

[@Chick3nluvver]

john wick is great I love it

[@RoAoG]

My favorite part of this episode is pyrion not liking John wick for the violence and gunplay. Then Lewis comes in comparing it to the matrix

[@jackrobinson4530]

no one on earth has fully watched this podcast yet. we love this

[@lemon1797]

Well the editors maybe did

[@PureRushXevus]

44:40 hardcore henry? and first john wick was really good IMO. then they dragged it out too much. but the action sequences in all 3 were really well made in terms of filming and choreography, and to me it almost makes sense for him to make sure everyone is dead by finishing them off. his character being this super hitman kind of deal that barely misses etc. movies have also taught us that there's always a fucker that didn't die and reaches for a gun or whatever, and turn the whole thing around haha

[@uXses]

I really liked the first John Wick. The others less and less because he turns from just a guy with excellent aim into some kind of mutant that can take way too much punishment and just shrug it off. It just wasn't realistic any more. (And yeah, I realize the irony of calling the 1st movie realistic in any way.)

[@davidaugustine3686]

If they haven't already, they should watch the Mr. Hands documentary.

[@ImpulsiveZombie]

I'm disappointed they didn't go for the obvious D. B. Coomer joke for the tale of the legendary smut thief

[@macinvictus]

A lot of the dumbing down of movies comes from the studio heads. They're trying to make interesting things as neutered as possible to try and maximize their business stuff...and not piss of China. It's people who have no business making creative decisions forcing people to frak up things that could be cool

[@bibsp3556]

Yeh. There's a real aversion to risk too. Redoing an old movie, will 99% chance be poorer, and a let down, but it does safe numbers.

[@j-mc2144]

Oh, so that's why Sips just talks about backwash unprompted in front of a live audience.

[@sz2095]

Why does Pyrion think that John Wick is supposed to be a "good guy"? I mean he is a retired assassin (one of the best)...killing people, whether quick or brutally, has been his life's work. Also as much as i enjoyed the John Wick series, i have always seen it as an amalgamation of classic 90s action films. A simple plot that was shot well (JW1)...the rest of the movies and the world building is a bit ridiculous though 😅

[@IKponmwosa11]

Moonfall was great, im ready for moonfall 2

[@a.garcha199]

Pyrion's consistent gripe with stories of the main character not doing stuff a good guy would do is so odd to me. For somebody that consistently criticises media like anime and stories such as Harry potter for just being for kids and not complex enough, he seems to always want his main character to be this categorically good person. His annoyance with John Wick is he doesn't kill people in a way a "good guy," would? Grow up.

[@bibsp3556]

Also, John wick is hardly trying to be a deep piece about ethical conflict, or morality or something. It's gunfu

[@BONESTORM2501]

Pyrion wanting League to die and Dota to thrive is so funny considering dota looks and feels godaweful to play when you're not brought up with it. All the animations and the autoattacks are so clunky looking compared to league.

[@Spellbook]

Dota is good it's just that it doesn't feel good to play. Abilities are made for the sake of what they do even of it dealt/affects are good it felt like you didn't do much

[@bibsp3556]

I played a lot more LoL, but I'm hooked unto dota when I get the itch now. Despite the sometimes clunky stuff, it just feels like the unforgiving nature of it makes it a bit more exciting
