S3E6 - Dead Man's Switch

Frosty is back from her long hiatus and here with us all to see our new favourite character in the show! Today the SG-1 crew meet the new main character of the show, John Mandalorian AKA Mr. Will Definetly Be Appearing Again.Yeah, this is an episode that is just straight up from a completely different show. While on holiday in the lush forests of Vancouver once again, the SG-1 team are captured by every Bounty Hunter OC I have ever encountered on a Star Wars RP forum. He needs you to know he's the coolest guy in the galaxy. He needs you to know that. No one can beat him. He's the coolest. He's the best at everything. He has the best gadgets. For some reason, he's also the heckin Joker for like no reason. But he's also a good guy, I guess? Look, someone thought they had made someone cool and then never ever put him back in the show after they realised they didn't. I guess he appears again in a book or something.
One day the actual podcast crew will be in the same episode again.

S3B1: Hana-Bi

Hello and welcome to Girls Night. And because it's girls night we did a movie about men, about cops being funny little guys and getting weird with it. We enter for the first time, and probably not the last the Takeshi Kitano cinematic universe. Such an enigmatic man: Comedian, actor, director, artist, hard bastard and castle owner. This time he's playing a cop who's just a little birthday boy. A birthday boy who in America would be a damn hero. But we're not in America, although just like America the state treats it's attack dogs and enforcers like shit, forcing Nishi (Beast Takeshi) To get creative
I mean who dones't want to be called a dog, and then told to go off the leash and savage people at the behest of the A really hot Lady I I mean the state yeah...Follow us on: https://twitter.com/Hfrayorl And join our Patreon at the $3.50+ tier in order to access to a monthly bonus episode and extended cuts of some main episodes https://www.patreon.com/SGOPodcastFeaturing: The Ice Queen herself Arcticia Frosthttps://www.twitch.tv/hopefrayorl and RyanSorry it's late Frosty is busy and I was...

S3E3 - Legacy

Content warning for some kinda iffy portrayal of mental health in this episode. Yay DSM-4. Extended cut available on the Patreon.
 
Welcome to the episode that gives Frosty extreme paranoia and medical anxiety. Yeah, it's an episode of a 90s television show where a character is deemed to be mentally unwell and given the old padded cell treatment. It's a bit of a weird one. We felt iffy about this episode.
 
Arriving on a new Goa'uld planet, the gang are searching around the tunnels™ where they discover a strange sealed room. Inside are a group of 9 dead Goa'uld, who have all died under mysterious circumstances prior to their own hosts dying presumably of starvation. With no clues of what could have possibly caused this, they grab a weird looking tablet and magic scrolling device in the room. Time to leave the rest of the hazmat crew.
 
Unfortunately for Dr Daniel Jackson, there was some kind of cognitohazard in the room and now he seems to be losing his mind. Seeing and hearing what others do not, he must prove that what he is experiencing is real while we see some great 90s psychiatric care in action. Having known people who have been greatly helped by psychiatric care in the modern day, I promise you it is not like the way this episode portrays. Still makes me feel bad kinda though.

S3E2 - Fair Game

Finally, a big moment for our girl Samantha Carter. Hope and Frosty are celebarting as finally we get to see a woman succeed in the great institution that is the United States Air Force, an organisation that we hear is very progressive. Okay, but seriously it's cool that she gets promoted to Major now. Now, it is kind of weird that we have a squad that consists of a Colonel, a Major, and what are essentially two civillian contractors. It's a TV show, it doesn't matter.
Unfortunately, Major Carter's big moment is entirely snatched up by that dickhead little alien guy Thor ruining the whole thing. Jack gets nonconsensually teleported aboard his ship, which is currently in orbit above Earth, as he brings grave tidings to our Colonel. Turns out that the Goa'uld are slightly pissed off that we keep killing them. We've killed a lot of them. We've killed 3 System Lords at this point. They will invade Earth unless our little grey friend manages to convince a group of Goa'uld represenstives that humans should be allowed into the Space UN. Hey, would've been nice if you told us this existed earlier.
 
Jack, for some goddamn reason, is picked by Thor to be the diplomat for the entirety of Earth. Yeah, sure. This one random soldier and the guy in charge of the squad that has killed most of these people should be the diplomat in charge of us all. If only we had professional diplomats. Jack has to win over the three Go'auld Kronos, Yu, and Nirrti. Not an easy feat, especially when there is a murrrrrrrrrrrrrder. Dun, dun dun. Also, this is yet another episode that has its central conflict caused by Teal'c deciding not to tell everyone something again.

S3E1 - Seth

After bonus month, we are finally back with Stargate! We're now onto Season 3, although this is technically the second episode of the season, but we don't edge you with the two part finales split across the seasons. You want to know who else will not edge you?We see the Tok'ra dad arriving to tell everyone that yet another Goa'uld is hiding out on our planet. His name is Seth. Our boy Seth has been hiding out on the planet incognito for thousands of years as he is yet another in a long line of "dudes the System Lords would like to kill". How do you find an alien who has been hiding amongst your population for countless generations, switching hosts and locations to avoid being discovered? Well, you google the word "cult". Yep, we found him.
 
He's hiding out in Groverhaus with his weird sex cult and the ATF are trying to move in on the place, because they heard that they have too many alive dogs in there. Join Frosty, Hope, and Ryan for another season of this weird and usually wonderful television show. I write these episode summaries, so I put my name first.

[Preview]Bonus Month Patreon Episode - Seven Samurai (1954)

This is a preview of the bonus episode available on the $3.50 tier of our Patreon.
 
In the 16th Century, Japan was long into its Sengoku (Warring States) Period. With no legitimate Shogun to enforce the Emperor's Law across the land, the disperate feudal lords forged alliances and fought in bloody conflicts to seize the title of the military dictator of Japan. What this meant in reality for the everyday peasants toiling in the fields was that warring Samurai clans were constantly raiding your home, taking your shit and killing you. With constant war came constant lawlessness, so when Samurai weren't pillaging you, bandits were instead. Being a peasant fucking sucked.
 
One village of peasants know that it's only a matter of time before their next harvest and the bandits plaguing their lands will return. Will we give them everything we have and die, or fight them and die? Neither look like great solutions. Thankfully our wise old man in the village proposes a solution. Find a samurai who will defend our village. Will a proud Samurai defend them for nothing more than a few bowls of rice? A hungry one will.
 
Thankfully, they meet a wise sagely Samurai who is convinced to help defend them for the bandits. The problem? One Samurai cannot hope to take on 40 odd bandits and hope to live without extra hands. We need something more. We need numbers. We need a rag tag team of quirked up Samurai boys. We need...Seven Samurai! That's right, this is the classic Akira Kurosawa Samurai flic that everyone gushes over. I'll say personally (as Frosty) that Japan certainly had better directors then and since, but few broke the international scene and influenced particularly the Spaghetti Western like Kurosawa. If you've seen anything Samurai related from film, television, anime, or video games, you have seen the influence Kurosawa had on how we tend to imagine Japan's feudal warrior caste.
 
Also this movie is really misogynistic, like holy shit. This time period hated women. No, I don't mean the 16th Century, I mean the 1950s.

Bonus Month 2 Episode 3 - Like a Dragon (2007)

Extended cut available on Patreon.Now 10% slower so we're not so high pitched
 
So we did another video game movie. Standing on the shoulders of giants like Max Payne, Far Cry, and Hitman, we finally have an adaptation that's not entirely terrible. No weird transphobic jokes out of nowhere in this one either, which was not a guarantee given that early Yakuza games had some...questionable stuff sometimes.
Yes, this is an adaptation of the 2005 PS2 video game series that started the Yakuza/Like a Dragon franchise. Is it a faithful adaptation? No. Is it a good adaptation? Uhh... Is the casting good? Well, kinda. Does it tell the story of the game well? Not in the slightest. What they decided to do was to start the movie about 3 hours into the game's plot, not introduce any character motivations and explain who any of these people are. What the fuck is a Kiryu? What's a Nishiki? The movie doesn't care about any of that. If you're hear for a good story, you are out of luck.
Now, if you want some incredible fight scenes, you've got the right movie. They somehow turned the insane bicycle smashing combat of the games into live action fights. My boy Majima is straight up using his in game boss moveset as a live action real dude. A real dude is being Majima. A real dude is being Majima so well. Every scene with the Mad Dog of Shimano is absolute perfection.
Ending is absolute dog shit though. Don't get me started on the bank scenes and the weird crime couple, neither of which have any relevance to the movie whatsoever.
But this was really just an excuse for Frosty and Ryan to talk about their special interest while Hope roles her eyes for about 2-3 hours.

Bonus Month 2 Episode 2 - Tampopo (1985)

Noodles make me really horny.If that sounds like you, you might be Juzo Itami, director of the 1985 "Ramen Western" movie Tampopo. See, it's like spaghetti, but Japan. We have a stoic cowboy hero trucker and his twink son on their travels to find MILFs to tutor in the way of the noodle. Our MILF is a lady named Tampopo, a widow tasked his running her late husband's ramen shop, but she unfortunately sucks shit at making noodles. Only a trucker in a cowboy hat, a homeless chef, a not homeless chef, and a creepy handyman could possibly resolve this.This is a movie ultimately about food. There are many ways to enjoy food and only about 90% of those involve weird food sex. Our main plot is interrupted with vignettes about various people enjoying food, which sent both Hope and Blaze insane. They hated them a lot. They wanted to just get back to the cowboy plot. Frosty, however is a freak. A weird little noodle freak.
 
Hey, if you're my brother and you're reading this, you might want to skip out on this one.
