BitFlix TV & Film Podcast

Alas, the epic conclusion to this dark chapter of BitFlix. In the last Episode, BitHUD's Dann OK invaded the BitFlix HQ to stir up its normally lowkey nature. Picking up from where the last show left off, Thaddeus, Pally, and Dann team up to go back to the past in order to try and fix things, but instead get caught up with each listing 5 films/TV series which were integral parts of their childhoods. So come in and give it a listen. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll hurl!

A conversation gets started leading to something, but you'll have to listen to find out just what it is this time!

Life can feel like nothing but a long existential crisis, but what would it mean for you if it went forever, or even worse, you had to experience one particular day of over and over again. In this episode Thaddeus and Pally explore these very notions. But first, some spirited conversations about life, conspiracy theories and the universe. We lighten the mood at the end with some chat on the summer 2020 anime releases, and early impressions of Charlie Kaufman's debut novel Antkind!

Back in Japan again, this time doing a nice little double bill of One Cut of the Dead, and Why Don't You Play in Hell? Both of these blood soaked films aside from both having the same country of origin, both share the theme of making a movie within the movie. Both handle these meta elements in different ways. But do Thaddeus and Pally have different opinions on them? After that, stick around for some interesting chats on The Rick and Morty Finale, Becky, and find out if The Last Days of American Crime has truly earned its 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

This time around, Thaddeus and Pally get front seats to Josh Gad's animated series Central Park. They both take it all in, and see if it hits the right notes. From there, they both whack each other with oversized mallets and replace each other's mics with dynamite as they clash over HBO Max's premiere revival of Looney Tunes Cartoons. Thaddeus comes from the perspective of the Classic run of shorts while Pally is more of a fan of the post 90s versions with longer run times and hip jokes such as Tazmania and Space Jam.

This time around our two Northeners get a taste of the Far East with an abundance of anime. Starting with Weathering with You, they debate whether Makoto Shinkai's follow up to Your Name will help him make a name for himself, or if they'll have to rain on his parade. From there, they each share a list of a diverse range of anime trying to cater to a variety of genres and formats. Stay tuned for the grab bag! Thaddeus tries to maintain his sanity when he recounts his traumatic experiences of watching Scoob and The Wrong Missy.

The world coming to an end seems to be the talk of the town these days. We used to think animation would be an ideal means of escapism, but Thaddeus and Pally seemed to find apocalyptic themes everywhere they turn. First, they watch the world come to an end, and beloved DC characters struggle to survive in the latest WB animation Justice League Dark: The Apokolips War. After that, they tried to lighten the mood with Justin Roiland's new animated Sci-Fi comedy Solar Opposites. But even there, they were confronted by a devastated planet, and a Mad Max microcosm. While our two hosts learn they process their emotions, (and lack thereof in Thaddeus's case), they try to keep up their spirits in these dark times. Take a listen, maybe they'll help get you through them too.

Ello guv'nah. Our mates Thaddeus and Pally fancy a trip down to jolly ol' England to grab a pint at the pub, sit around the telly, and watch Gangs of London and The Gentlemen.

This episode takes Thaddeus and Pally Jay to the bullet riddled streets of India. All just to hang out with Chris Hemsworth. Sadly, they didn't get the memo, so they were expecting to play videogames with Fat Thor, and not be dodging bullets with the ruthlessly violent Tyler Rake in the new Netflix Original Extinction (2020). Spoiler alert - They make it out alive and return to their armchairs to play the roles of movie executives where they each pitch their ideas for a variety of properties they would like to see brought to film or TV. Will they be licenses to print money? Art House darlings, or just critical and commercial flops? Take a listen, see for yourself, and maybe let them know!

Our show has gone to full series! This time around, we get into the guts of Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge. Gory masterpiece, or another misfire? From there, we put our thoughts together on America's glitzy take on Lego Masters. Thanks for checking out our show, and feel free to get in touch, with any compliments, criticism, and anything in between.

Remember that time Matt LeBlanc guest starred on Married with Children, then got his own spinoff? Probably not, this is kind of like that, but way more successful... Especially since our 90 minute series premiere runs longer than all the episodes of Top of the Heap combined (probably). BitHUD's Thaddeus is by fellow media junkie Pally J this time around. Our two plucky, kind of young heroes christen the show by talking about Denis Villeneuve's Dune and the new spicy screenshots which have surfaced, Disney's "Live Action" Robin Hood Adaptation in the works, Richard Kelley's threat to make another Southland Tales movie, and Pendleton Ward's 4/20 divine gift to the world Midnight Gospel. Then, they finally the heavy topics: A review of Paramount's Sonic The Hedgehog (2020), and our overall impressions of Ducktales (2017). Will these two friends survive their journey into a new strange city full of interesting side characters and wild adventures? Stay tuned to find out!
