Rougewon

We are a couple of proud boys who like discussing big anime in Chainsaw Man and the merits of fear vs dread in Halloween.

Like the My Hero Villain Twice, Sud has multiplied and had 3 distinct weeks. Can the Suds figure out who is who and whose week is whose? And can they figure out how to record a podcast?

Laziness takes over your host and this much delayed episode has content that is literally months old. Listen in wonder as the boys discuss Sandman, patches to Cyberpunk 2077, GTA VI leaks, and reminiscing about a very sexy blue hedgehog.

We talk about intense movies, shitty lawyering in movies, the Netflix Cyberpunk anime, arguing about 16 bit RPGs, and the Nintendo Direct and State of Play. Also discussed- Moaning Myrtle.  

We talk about midwestern accents and our hobbit powers. A deep dive into Michael Bay and Jake Gyllenhaal's finances are also discussed. Brian watches the DOTA anime. Sud apparently podcasts from under the Puget Sound.  

It's our 150th episode, which means an extend cold open to debate the merits of condiments, sandwiches and yelling chef. We try to breakdown what counts towards the 150 original Pokémon, a 150 episodes of Dragon Ball, and 150 South Park songs.

We discuss the history of Dragon Ball in depth thanks to the release of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. It quickly becomes an interrogation of Brian's Dragon Ball Z knowledge. Ben can't stop conflating Platinum games with a central Ohio strip club.

We discuss The Espionage Act, new PCs playing Red Dead 2, Westerns, Multiversus, the pain of the Rehearsal, finishing Elden Ring after 6 months and failures in summoning. Into the Breach makes an appearance as well with DOTA.

Sud sounds (even more) like ass because his audio drivers won't stop switching on him- probably because Idaho time is insane.  Brian watches stuff that he has mentioned already or was already covered by others. Matt covers the various trailers and go gahs of San Diego ComicCon. Ben bails because his computer is too corrupted with porn. Is this why we are here? Just to suffer?

We subtly change the Rougewon podcast into a life advice column as we help you avoid being framed for the murder of Japanese former prime ministers and appropriate pheromone etiquette at furry conventions.

The boys survive 4th of July and discuss DNF Duel, Obi-wan Kenobi's finale and possible spinoffs from the spin off, Overwatch 2 Beta, and Jeffery Bridges in 'The Old Man' XXX gay porn parody.

A month or more late we release Episode 144 after we lost Episode 143. The boys are back in town discussing shit you did weeks ago. Topics include the continued joy of Jimmy and Bimmy, Senator Ted Cruz, and the godfather of body horror, David Cronenberg.

We talk about my failures in editing, failures in Star Wars (Obi-wan spoilers), failures of the dinosaurs to survive a giant meteor, and failures in more Star Wars.  

We have forced Top Gun nicknames, DOTA results, and Ace Combat by way of Top Gun.

Hot political takes on Madison Cawthorn, postpartum abortion, The Northman, and John Halo's sex life  

The gang chats about awful commercials, awful augmented reality , and awful movie habits. There is no theme but a loose improvisational feel as the boys discuss how they are going to die.

We have two weeks to cover and so the podcast is two weeks late. Mostly because of the Sonic sequel which didn't go fast.    

We debate how cringe memory is in the cold open. We debate whether Matt should sit up in the second cold open. We beat the Elden Ring horse even more to death, but from a 10,000 Matt view. We also delve into how fucking weird 'Stranger in Paradise' is and how weird Blade Runner: Black Lotus looks. All this on more on an on time episode of Rougewon!  

We finally caught up and what was once lost is now found. We talk a bit about Tunic and The Batman and not a whole lot else.  

More Elden Ring with a sprinkling of Licorice Pizza's unfortunate pro-grooming message and some Star Wars bullshit.  

A whole lot about Elden Ring, a little bit about Horizon, and desperation to save Matt from Shenmue.  

Ben comes back and unwittingly finds a new racial slur. We also discuss Horizon Forbidden West, Elden Ring, and micro pensis

Ben isn't on this episode and for his trouble we dox him  

We talk about Horizon Zero Dawn, Zoids and Bit MCcloud, talking more about the Matrix, Japanese Spiderman,  and a debate over who loves their wife more.  

Another lost episode was found in the vault where talk about birds, MLK, Macbeth, and The Matrix Resurrections.    

Matt finally learns how to count in this highly anticipated episode of the pod. Additionally we have an extended discussion about the hit television sensation 'Coach'. There might be a discussion about videogames.   

After an unplanned hiatus, Rougewon is back! A hidden trove of content has been found and we kick things off with a Game of the Year show almost two months after 2021 ended. You'll note that Sud has an hour and thirty minute monologue because apparently no one on the show plays games.     

An extended cold open unravels the dark world of public school e-sports. The rest of the gang sleepy describes how mediocre the Halo Infinite campaign is while Ben struggles to describe Wheel of Time in a meaningful way.  All this and more on a delayed Christmas episode of Rougewon! Next time, our marathon game of the year episode!

Brian rejoins the podcast and we talk about Devin Nunes, dick monsters, and the new Beatles documentary 'Get Back'. 

Sud and Matt discuss the Cowboy Bebop live action series (and release this episode right after its canceled by Netflix).  We also talk about the fall of Fatal Frame and DOA from genre staple to cringe fan service and Matt finishes up his review of the Alien franchise. 

Sud and Matt sail together in this pod to talk about 6 different Alien movies, Tom Bambadil skipping in LOTR Online, and how GTA Definitive Edition mirrors our lives. Oh and impressions on a little game called Elden Ring

Ben has rested enough to wake up for the podcast and regales us with weeks worth of tall tales. 

Late as always to the cultural zeitgeist we talk about the hit movie sensation- David Lynch's version of Dune.    Also some Bond. 

Matt returns to his sarcophagus and Ben awakes from his slumber with tales of anime fighters. Brian subjects us to 'Free Guy' while Sud gives up on a $70 game. 

Sud keeps forgetting its Spooktacular Mattober and Matt drops the torch by not doing anything spooky at all. Brian discusses how scary it is to engage with people in person.

Ben died so Brian can live. Spooktacular Mattober continues with tales of scary movies, scary games, and a willingness to toss crying children out of a plane. 

It's a very special time of year for the boys as Spooktacular Mattober rolls around....in the middle of October.

Brian is out on his 'mini' moon and so Sud, Matt, and the Second Coming of Ben hold down the fort to talk about Korean Hunger Games, the Matrix, terrible Stephen King books, and the wonderfully weird Nintendo Direct news from September 24th. 

Ben 'the Bentichrist' Rogers returns to the pod after his untimely death due to getting a job. The shock and horror of this development sent Brian into a void for about 20 minutes (with his audio gone) before he is able to rejoin the Rougewon crew.  Apologies for the lateness of this podcast, we are still shook that Ben is back from the dead. All this and news from over a week ago on this episode of Rougewon!

Part 2 of the two for one special this week thanks to Sud's Labor Day laziness. We talk about our fondest Patlabor memories, whether the hobbits are like Lu Bu, Valhiem and Shang-Chi and The Legend of the 10 Rings. 

We got a two for one special this week again thanks to Labor Day and Sud's own laziness. This episode we talk about how terrible 12 Minutes is, the high cost of movies, and Chinese politics vis a vis Kelly Marie Tran.  Please purchase us Tencent!

Matt does a deep dive into the Lord of the Rings audiobooks and Brian finishes up Final Fantasy 8.  Sud talks about the greatest heist movie of all time.    In depth spoilers for The Green Knight and Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0 : Thrice Upon a Time at the end of the episode. 

Brian foolishly stays with the Rougewon crew while Matt foolishly watched the Evangelion Rebuild movies back to back. Sud returns from vacation a new man. As promised, Episode 113 will be up soon after this one!

We are slowly getting into the groove of things so apologies for missing a week (we'll have a two for one special soon enough). This week Brian joins the cast to talk about Final Fantasy 8 and the toxic world of MOBAs. Meanwhile Matt struggles to get through his review of Suicide Squad because Sud won't stop talking about his twisted Twitter habits.  Please note the National Suicide Prevention Hotline in the U.S. is available 24 hours a day at 1-800-273-8255.

WE'RE BACK! A DINOSAUR STORY! Kevin and Ben have become a prepper and died respectively and it's up to Matt and Sud to carry the torch. Will we gamely limp on the finish line like a cancer patient racing for the cure? Or is this an experiment in vanity? Only you dear listener will know. All the best in video games and pop culture, in a new low fat format. Reach out at RougeWonPodcast@gmail.com

We got a little carried away talking about the Snyder cut...

This one has a real loose flow to it. Almost improvisational.

Some of us watched Wanda-Vision, and one of us hates joy.

We did a classic game that turns out to be...well it turns out be pretty long, honestly.

We got some big ideas in this one, I tells yeah. Big, BIG ideas!

Welcome to our first Game of the Month episode! It's like a book club, but for video games!
