This week, we come in hot — starting with wuxia vibes, holiday chaos, and cursed Christmas remixes of “September” — before diving into music stats, Taskmaster binges, Eden's Wuxia/Baihe adventures, and Peter's latest reading spree (including Gödel, Escher, Bach). Eventually, we embark on the Most Important Cultural Work of Our Time: a fast-food and fast-casual tier list. Along the way, we crown unexpected champions, bury some long-held myths (looking directly at you, In-N-Out), and declare Waffle House the beating heart of American civilization. It's unhinged, joyful, occasionally shameful, and fully definitive.Opening ShenanigansEden opens with an incredible wuxia monologue introducing Beauty's Blade, the Baihe novel they've been reading.Peter tries (and fails) to match the energy.Thanksgiving recaps: delayed flights, Target wandering, and the absolute war crime that is “Do You Remember…the 21st Night of December” playing over store speakers.Life Updates & MediaEnd-of-year malaise, work overload, and winter dread.Apple Music Replay breakdowns:Peter: another year, another Slow Forever domination.Eden: a deeply chaotic top-albums list featuring Rebecca Black, Japanese jazz fusion, KPM library music, and Tron: Legacy.Taskmaster binges continue.Peter's current reading includes Three-Body Problem and the 900-page Gödel, Escher, Bach.Eden is deep into Where Winds Meet (“What if Assassin's Creed but Wuxia and optionally an MMO?”), and fully living in Jianghu.Manga corner: Kaiju Girl Caramelise is adorable and unhinged in equal measure.

Matthew and Josh are handing out grades to NFL broadcast teams on the completely logical SACF scale and offering a couple solutions for the sports saturation that can occur this time of year. Later on we review NBA 2k26 just in time for gift buying season. Send us a text!Support the show

I finally built the LEGO Game Boy, and I go through the elements that it has and the different ways it can be displayed. The USS Enterprise LEGO set came out on Black Friday, but there is a bad typo on the stickers. Tim Sweeney believes Steam should not require developers to disclose if Generative AI was used to make their games, since he claims everyone will use it eventually. Nintendo is buying a Bandai Namco studio in Singapore that assisted with game development. Then we take a caller to talk about the Saudi Arabia influence in the newly resurrected Overwatch League.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is under fire for locking music beyond an amiibo paywall, and featuring an open world where Samus travels over sand on a motorcycle (uhhhh.) Oh, and one of the levels looks like a big pink... v word. Is this intentional? Well, the writer was allegedly an activist who kept pushing for Samus to be trans, sooooo...? But you're NOT allowed to criticize this game AT ALL or the Nintendo stans will jump down your throat with both feet.Watch this podcast episode on YouTube and all major podcast hosts including Spotify.CLOWNFISH TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary podcast that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer's point of view.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy looks like pure @$$. But Paramount is still determined to release it, despite rumors that's it's already been cancelled before the first episode airs.So will the Ellisons wipe out the JJ Abrams era completely?

Netflix is buying Warner Bros for almost $83 BILLION and now that the shock has worn off, people are wondering how it will impact DC Comics (the publisher) and Cartoon Network. And the truth is... it probably won't benefit either one of them. Netflix is not in the paper magazine business, and Cartoon Network could get folded into Netflix Animation. So let's talk about this...Watch this podcast episode on YouTube and all major podcast hosts including Spotify.CLOWNFISH TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary podcast that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer's point of view.

According to Matrix co-creator Lilly Wachowski, the right co-opts pop culture because "this is what fascism does." "They appropriate left-wing points of view and they mutate them for their own propaganda, to obfuscate what the real message is. This is what fascism does. And so, of course that's going to happen.”Never mind that many franchises have been appropriated by the far left in recent years, but... WHATEVER. Obviously they're not real happy about the "red pill" meme, but also admits that hey, you can't control what people take away from a piece of media.Watch this podcast episode on YouTube and all major podcast hosts including Spotify.CLOWNFISH TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary podcast that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer's point of view.

In this episode, I dive into the excitement around Valve's newly announced Steam Machine and what it could mean for the future of handheld gaming. I talk about the rise of hybrid console–portable systems, why shorter and more interactive games fit better into my life now, and why the GTA VI delay honestly doesn't bother me. I also break down the controversy surrounding Rockstar's recent employee firings and share my thoughts on the gaming community's obsession with nostalgia. It's a mix of tech talk, gaming culture, and personal reflections on how I play today.   Finally after a work injury kept me home for three months(late last year), I dove into music production, inspired by Marc Rebillet's improvisational style and the gear he uses.   In this episode, I share the audio from my first beat video using this gear.   Thoughts?

In this holiday episode, Melanie Hempe and Dr. Stacey unpack the #1 screen mistake parents make at Christmas: giving in and gifting devices. They reveal the hidden blind spots that cause even the best parents to rationalize smartphones and gaming systems as “good gifts,” especially during the emotional pressure of the holidays.Together, they explain why teaching teens to “use social media wisely” isn't the solution, why willpower can't beat persuasive tech, and how guilt drives parents to hope their kids can handle technology they're not developmentally ready for. Melanie and Dr. Stacey offer simple, practical alternatives: what to give instead of screens, how to plan a healthier holiday, and how to lead with confidence rather than emotion.A timely, encouraging conversation to help families avoid Christmas regret and give their kids the gift of a healthier, screen-strong childhood.Support the showDon't forget to subscribe, rate, and leave a review if you enjoy the episode.

RAM prices are skyrocketing, are you ready? CD Projekt Red has a release schedule for its next Witcher Trilogy, Clair Obscur did even better than we all thought and Gamestop fights back against haters. Plus Zootopia laid waste to the 2025 box office, Netflix went to the upside down and Predator isnt stuck in the badlands anymore.

Warner Bros. could get sold to the Ellisons at (Paramount Skydance) with the Saudis going in on it, and the leftwing media is NOT happy. They're already having a hard time coping with Bari Weiss being in charge of CBS News, and this could potentially put her in charge of CNN as well. OOF.Another contender is Netflix, and James Cameron isn't happy about that one because he thinks that will be the end of theatrical.Watch this podcast episode on YouTube and all major podcast hosts including Spotify.CLOWNFISH TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary podcast that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer's point of view.

In episode 549 of 'Coffee with Butterscotch,' the brothers dig into how short-form video fits into indie game marketing and why it should be part of development from the start.
