Still catching up with the backlog of episodes of Adult Siblings Versus...
This episode goes completely off the rails, as I bombard my sister with too much information about he tabletop wargame Warhammer 40,000. When I said this was a nerd blog I f**king meant it!

Also here's a video I made using an audio clip form the episode
Today marks fourteen years since my first bog post on Beta is Dead. As has been the custom, I will celebrate by sharing my To Ten Movie list of the past year, in this case 2023.
As usual, take in mind that this is my personal list of favorite
movies, not an objective “Top Films of the Year” list, since I didn’t watch
every single movie. This is just my personal opinion and, frankly, I’d be interested
to hear your favorite movies of the year in the comment section.
Some quick notes about some honorable mentions: I really enjoyed
The Marvels and Blue Beetle (especially Blue Beetle) but neither appears on the
list because there were just way too many better flicks this year. I still want
to make a special note that they were both good and should have done better at
the Box Office. Also, Barbie just barely got edged off of the list, and I
struggled with this quite a bit. I think it was great, and on any other year it
would have made it on here easily. However don’t be surprised if you see the
other half of Barbenheimer shortly.
Full Top Ten after the jump.
Happy New Year. I'm trying to catch up on past episodes of Adult Siblings Versus before it goes completely off-the-rails. For Christmas, we revisited Home Alone 2: Lost in New York and were pleasantly surprised how unique it was.
Just kidding; that shit was trash.

Another new episode of Adults Siblings Versus...is up. This time we are talking about the very British Wallace & Gromit. We talk about all four shorts.
Note: we recorded this months before we found out that England is out of clay and Aardman had to make a statement claiming everything is A-Ok, stop worrying about it.

| Gromit should just leave Wallace to die and take over the house |
More details after the jump.
I'm late again in posting this, but we had an episode of "Adult Siblings Versus..."go up not too long ago that's basically a clips show, but with never before heard clips and extended clips form our first year of podcasting. Also we look at a fan email.

Adult Siblings Versus...is bac with a new epsidoe that's a little different than normal. This week we talk about our childhood experience with "Weird Al" Yankovic, speficially four of his albums we owned as kids.
"Alapalooza”, “Bad Hair Day”, “Running with Scissors”, and “Poodle Hat.” But not "Polka Party." Never "Polka Party."

| We need to have a serious talk about cultural appropriation, 1990s Weird Al |
More details after the jump.
Unfortunately, I'm a little late with this one, but Adult Siblings Versus...recently dropped an episode on the classic anime Trigun, a show so imbedded in my own history as an anime fan that I never dared review it on this blog.
Until now!
Well, kind of. It snot really here, it's on the podcast. But you can listen to it here!

For the purposes of this list, the primary factors taken into consideration when judging Gundam were 1) Functionality, 2) Aesthetics, and 3) Cool Factor. Only Gundams were considered for this list, but not the SD Gundam part of the franchise. The Gundams from the Gundam Build series will be counted even though they are technically plastic models rather than actual giant robots.
List so Far:
#9: A-Z Gundam
#8: Gundam Heavyarms
#7 Tequila Gundam Daniel Custom
#6: ∀ Gundam
Honorable Mention #2: RX-78-2 Gundam. No Top Ten Gundam
list would be complete without the original Gundam. Except this list. It’s not
on this list. Look, I appreciate this thing as a classic, but frankly it’s the
blueprint that is the basis of all other Gundam, almost all of which could be described
as “Gundam + ___ = Cool.” It just feels like even by Zeta Gundam it felt like we
had moved on. Sorry if this bugs you.
Part II after the jump.
