Longtime podcasters and friends Parris and Chris bring two big topics to the conversation for your consideration.
Christopher Snider & Parris Lilly
Of course there's going to be lots of discussion about Infinity War. Do we have to give spoiler warnings for a movie that will make $2 billion worldwide? We also get into Cobra Kai, Deadpool 2, Good Girls, and have a brief therapy session about difficult choices in life.
It's been a minute. Sorry about that. Chris is building a house, and judging by the Instagram photos, it's almost complete. And there's lots and lots and lots to say about Black Panther. Wakanda Forever.
After Chris accept's Parris' letter of resignation from his role as a podcaster, it's time to talk about the latest season of Game of Thrones and what has us most excited for the final episodes. And, Parris crossed off a bucket list item with his visit to Bungie - who would have thought Destiny 2 would be so highly anticipated?
GamertagRadio became Twitch Partners last month and Chris is still doing the open house shuffle. But once we get past the pleasantries, it's time to talk about the state of Netflix, focusing on Master of None, House of Cards, and the recent trailers for The Defenders and Stranger Things 2. Finally, we celebrate Marvel giving us the Spider-Man we all deserve in Spider-Man: Homecoming.
After a lengthy therapy session focused on Transformers: The Last Knight, Chris and Parris share their thoughts on Wonder Woman and what this movie means for the future of the DC Cinematic Universe. Rounding out their discussion, Parris shares some stories from his experience at E3 2017 and how he has progressed his video production skills in the last few months.
Destiny 2 has been revealed to the world! Along with a general discussion about Parris' time covering the event for Gamertag Radio, we discuss how he's working to overcome his social anxiety those types of situations. Chris, on the other hand, had jury duty, and talks about how he's more encouraged by the judicial process as a result of his experience. Oh, and Parris bought a Nintendo Switch.
Despite the spectacular surprise appearance, Parris's trip home to Florida took some unexpected turns. On a similar note of "family", Chris leads some spoiler-free praise for The Fate of the Furious. But first we start with a big question: how are parents approaching the tough topics presented by 13 Reasons Why?.
After the Justice League trailer, but before the Spider-Man Homecoming trailer, there's a lot to consider about the summer movie schedule. But all that really matters is how we feel about Marvel's Iron Fist and the build up to The Defenders on Netflix, and how much we enjoyed Logan in all its brutality and soul.
For an appetizer, Chris started a new podcast and Gamertag Radio is slowly experimenting with video content. This month's main course features the Parris' emotional journey watching 'This Is Us', and Chris' love for the Gun-Fu of John Wick 2.
Parris believes in Netflix's revival of Voltron: Legendary Defender and Chris has been impressed with the way Black-ish tackles series topics. But first, more drones and a brief report from the Women's March.
After we celebrate Parris' 20 year wedding anniversary, we share our thoughts on Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and recommend some of our favorite podcasts from this year. You know, something positive to try to balance out how 2016 has ended. Happy Holidays!
Parris has returned from his trip to Paris. Magnifique! Then it's time to discuss life before, during, and after the 2016 Presidential election. Finally, we share some spoiler-free thoughts on the highs and lows of the first season of Westworld.
After we discuss Parris' YouTube ambitions, we dig in on a couple of noteworthy Netflix releases. First, we discuss why watching '13th' was particularly challenging. Then we lighten the mood and celebrate the brilliance and blackness of 'Luke Cage'. Sweet Christmas!
With the NFL season in full swing, Parris reflects on the highs and lows of football fandom. Chris thinks other sports can learn from MotoGP's online presentation. But first, let's talk about the importance of network security.
Chris got a tattoo, and Parris isn't watching the Olympics, let's talk about that! But more importantly, listen to Chris pitch RuPaul's Drag Race to Parris as a gateway into empathy and advocacy. And, if you haven't watched Netflix's Stranger Things yet, we'll do our best to convince you it's worth your time - because it's great, and you should watch it.
Chris and Parris discuss the impact and future of Game of Thrones now that the television show is ahead of the books, and spend some time revisiting the OJ Simpson saga after watching the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary. But first, a few words about the NBA Finals, Any Given Wednesday, and pro-level Monopoly strategies.
After our monthly check-in with Bill Simmons and a quick chat about the debut of The Ringer, Parris goes in on the NBA and the bright future the game has to look forward to thanks, in part, to the success of the Golden State Warriors, and Chris reflects on changes in how social media is used and perceived. But really, we just want to talk about how awesome Steph Curry is.
After we remember Prince, it's time for a deep dive into Captain America: Civil War, the plot (with lots of spoilers), our favorite moments, impressions of the new Spider-Man and the debut of Black Panther, and what this movie means for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Finally, we revisit our perspective on the upcoming Justice League and expanding DC Cinematic Universe. Lots of super heroes this time around - suit up!
Chris has a serious case of wearable envy. Parris shares his five year (and counting) weight loss and fitness journey. But first, a therapy session involving two grown men who wear capes.
Chris is fascinated by the potential of Bill Simmons' "The Ringer". Parris is watching "American Crime Story: The People vs. O.J. Simpson". But really, let's just talk about "Fuller House". What ever happened to predictability?
Parris wants to talk about the legacy of Shaq and Kobe. Chris wants to talk about Straight Outta Compton. But what about the intro? And more importantly, what about the segues?
We made it to the Pilot Episode. Here's hoping we get picked up for a full season! The idea for this podcast was first shared during a previous episode of Just Talking Podcast. We felt it was best to properly set the stage for 2 Big Topics by sharing that conversation with you.
Welcome to 2 Big Topics! In order to seed our podcast feeds, we've recorded a quick introduction. Assuming we didn't break anything, there's more to come soon.
