It's a chaos configuration while Riley is away on holiday, with this week's free episode featuring Milo, Hussein, and November on the topic of… weirdly sexual Keir Starmer-related columns in British newspapers. And also an AI startup that's apparently very prone to abuse, and a Tony Blair Institute conference that—you guessed it—demands ID cards for Britain.

As Labour takes a landslide victory on fewer votes than they received in 2019, we reflect on the concepts and articles that are time travelling here from 1997 and how the right is going to respond and rebuild. Also, we talk about universities, the state, and private capital combining to surveil students protesting for Gaza… which we can only assume will intensify!

Comics artist and cartoonist Rory Blank joins us on this weeks free episode as we ask: What is an AI image, exactly? Rory and Hussein discuss why the "All Eyes On Rafah" instagram post became the first 'viral' AI image, despite its inconsistencies, inaccuracies and lack of specificity. Rory explains how these features characterise the AI 'art' taking over the internet, why its proliferation is so difficult to regulate, and why we shouldn't see these images as creative outputs, but rather, a way to understand the confusion and detachment that comes with being on the internet today. -------- Check out Rory's Patreon here! https://www.patreon.com/roryblank -------- PALESTINE AID LINKS As the humanitarian crisis continues to unfold in Gaza, we encourage anyone who can to donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians.

A pretty pots and pans episode this week folks. The Boiz talk about Nope and also the reactions to Nope. NOT ONLY THAT, but they get into their most recent games, The Gaming Clause in Kyler Murray's contract, and much much more. They even talk a little doctor. All in all a great time to tune in and spend less than an hour with America's Favorite Gamers. Edited and Produced by Hailey Clement Music by Matthew Morden Art by Rory Blank
The Boiz are back and so is the soundtrack! Not only that but for the first time since they added the drop system they have a guest! It's Friend Of The Show Forrest Walker! Forrest and The Boiz focus on the new Resident Evil show on Netflix (including a SPICY take from Forrest), but not before talking a lil politics and other news. Then all three of them talk about what they've been playing - and it turns out Griffin gets a cosign on his new MMO of choice. Edited and Produced by Hailey Clement Music by Matthew Morden Art by Rory Blank
The Boiz continue BEING BACK. This week it's a grabbag of movies and games. Morbius is back in theaters, and The Boiz are stoked. Not only that, but they discuss Top Gun and RRR.

Edited and Produced by Hailey Clement Music by Matthew Morden Art by Rory Blank
The Boiz are back, having recorded before all the nightmares of this week so sorry if we're a bit goofus mode, but there's quite a lot of good stuff in here. The Boiz talk about Richard Nixon, UFOs, The Halo TV Show, and MORE. So take a break from the insanely bleak world and HANG WITH THE BOIZ. Edited and Produced by Hailey Clement Music by Matthew Morden Art by Rory Blank
FOR SOME REASON this episode didn't upload when Lux set it too, but IT'S HERE! After a long delay due to some EXCITING STUFF - Griffin and Lux can finally turn their attention to what matters: doofing around on their silly podcast.

It's that time of year folks, time to look at the Game of the Year nominees and wonder "how the hell did this happen?" and that's what The Boiz are here to do. This isn't their GOTY episode ... stay tuned for that - but the yearly nominees have dropped and The Boiz have takes. What was forgotten? Are these games even good? Were there ANY good games this year? Only one way to find out and that's to listen up and listen good. PLUS this week isn't all GOTY talk.

Welp, we've got a geopolitical crisis on our hands, but that WILL NOT STOP THE BOIZ. They are back with another week of scintillating games chat. Lux has FINALLY found some new games to play and can't wait to gush to Griffin about Barotrauma and Fuga: Melodies of Steel. Griffin's been having unique experiences getting back into Fortnite and remains enamored with Final Fantasy XIV. Not only that, but The Boiz dip their toes into the Afghanistan situation and go into their reactions to the controversy surrounding Boyfriend Dungeon. All that and probably some other stuff on this week's episode so Check. It. Out. Edited and Produced by Hailey Clement Music by Matthew Morden Art by Rory Blank
The Boiz are BACK AT IT AGAIN! This time they saw a movie, but honestly forget to talk about it for most of the episode. Instead they, along with returning champion Rory Blank, have a wide ranging conversation about printers, Blizzard/Activision, the new Xbox, Psychonauts, people DMing Griffin because they can't find Lux, and eventually The Green Knight. It's a wild time to strap in for a ride. Edited and Produced by Hailey Clement Music by Matthew Morden Art by Rory Blank
Hey y'all this week we're largely talking about some pretty serious stuff - that is to say the horrible things happening at Activision/Blizzard. We discuss some pretty graphic and awful behavior so if you don't wanna hear that skip around the middle. The other segments are fun though! We talk about some new fans who may have a misunderstanding of the show, and Griffin's time with FFXIV. Come for some bits, some goofs, and a pretty serious discussion about the nightmare of sexual harassment that is the video game industry. Edited and Produced by Hailey Clement Music by Matthew Morden Art by Rory Blank
The Boiz are BACK to talk E3. They've seen the conferences, the demos, the trailers, and now it's time to BREAK IT DOWN. BUT! This task is too big for just two Boiz so they're joined by Michael Goldenberg to discuss the stunning highs, the shocking lows, and the boring middles of e3 2021. Are they excited about the future of gaming? Does a new era loom on the horizon? Is Nintendo just the best game company now? Only one way to find out, and that's to get these Boiz in your ears. Edited and Produced by Hailey Clement Music by Matthew Morden Art by Rory Blank
This week The Boiz get ready for E3 but that's not all. First Lux has some thoughts on games and art. Griffin has some complaints about the state of the PS5, and you know they talk about even more than just that. If you wanna get a little aesthetics theory, a little two Boiz complaining, and a nice list of what to get psyched up for when E3 rolls around, well then buddy, this is the podcast for you. Edited and Produced by Hailey Clement Music by Matthew Morden Art by Rory Blank
WOW The Boiz watched Cruella and have some thoughts! So many thoughts that they have to bring in special guest Chelsea Pope to talk about it for WAY LONGER than planned. Chelsea and The Boiz go into the movie's style and design, it's craziest choices, and wonder if Disney can really make a movie about the failures of institutional art. That's not all though! The Boiz also take a bit to wrap up their chat about Berserk, discuss Griffin's anticipation of The Dark Portal, and hear what Lux has to say about the hours he's already dumped into the Nocturne HD Remaster. Edited and Produced by Hailey Clement Music by Matthew Morden Art by Rory Blank
THE BOIZ are BACK BABY! This week they talk about the games they've been playing, Caves of Qud and a little bit of WoW as well as the hot tub situation on Twitch, but mostly they get into Griffin's new love Berserk (RIP Kentaro Miura). They discuss the themes, Lux tries to avoid spoilers, and there's even some discussion of how Berserk has influenced...well most everything made since. Tune in to hear all about it, plus probably some other stuff I forgot to add to the description! Edited and Produced by Hailey Clement Music by Matthew Morden Art by Rory Blank
Another episode with just The Boiz this week. Lux and Griffin have been watching Invincible and they have THOUGHTS. Not just about the newest Amazon hit, but also Joe Biden's recent misadventures driving a truck, AND the single player games they've both been diving into, the Mass Effect Legendary release and Subnautica: Below Zero. Interested in playing either? Learn about them here! It's great fun! Edited and Produced by Hailey Clement Music by Matthew Morden Art by Rory Blank
The Boiz are SPOOKED! The ostensible scariest game of the year Resident Evil: Village has dropped and Lux and Griffin have opinions. Is it fun? Maybe! Is it scary? Who can say! Is it frustrating in the way only Resident Evil can be? Absolutely! Tune in to hear about how they feel about The Tall Lady, her weird friend with glasses, and the other denizens of the village. Listen and Enjoy! Edited and Produced by Hailey Clement Music by Matthew Morden Art by Rory Blank
IT'S FINALLY HERE!!! The Boiz get IN TO POKEMON SNAP! But this game is all about art, so they had to get an expert's opinion. That's why this week, Lux and Griffin are joined by musician, comics artist, and Canadian friend Alex Hood. Alex and The Boiz discuss what makes the game so fun, how it can feel tense and choice driven when you're in a car on rails, and of course how the game fails to appreciate their UNIQUE ART. it's a fun one, so check it out! Edited and Produced by Hailey Clement Music by Matthew Morden Art by Rory Blank
The Boiz are on their own this week as they get into this week in CULTURE. They discuss MLB The Show, The Mortal Kombat movie, AND ESPECIALLY Falcon and The Winter Soldier. They both agree it's dumb, but HOW DUMB? Do they get annoyed at people in the chat? You know it. Hear how annoyed, how dumb, and all kinds of other things in this weeks BANGER EPISODE Edited and Produced by Hailey Clement Music by Matthew Morden Art by Rory Blank
I know, I know - It's supposed to be a videogame podcast, but GUYS ATTACK ON TITAN! The end of the first half of season four left The Boiz minds blown and they simply had to GET INTO IT and the only way to do it justice was to bring in the absolute expert and AoT superfan Dom Johnson. They get INTO IT on questions like, 'what's this show trying to say?' 'what are the best fights?' 'what's coming next?' and MORE. Notably no one involved read the manga or knows how it ends so beware of both spoilers and speculation! Edited and Produced by Hailey Clement Music by Matthew Morden Art by Rory Blank
The Boiz haven't been talking about games much recently, but that changes this episode! Lux and Griffin get into the games they're each playing and the games they've both played and give their thoughts on such titles as Monster Hunter: Rise, Oddworld: Soulstorm, and Outriders. That's a lotta games, and that's what they're talking this week as The Gameboiz get back to what they're good at ... Games. Edited and Produced by Hailey Clement Music by Matthew Morden Art by Rory Blank
A CLASH OF THE TITANS! The Boiz checked out Godzilla vs. Kong and boy did they have some TITAN LEVEL thoughts. In order to break it down they needed an APEX guest, so Jared Bauer is back on the show for the first time in ages. Aside from the movie, they talk about games they've been playing, missing movie theaters, and what the heck Jared's been up to. Edited and Produced by Hailey Clement Music by Matthew Morden Art by Rory Blank
This week it's a very special episode because The Boiz are joined by the best pizza chef AND the best wrestler, and shockingly it's all ONE GUY and that guy is Luigi Primo. Luigi tells Lux and Griffin all about his favorite games, what a Luigi Primo game would be like, and the slogan of Primo Family Restaurante Italiano. It's a best a episode! Edited and Produced by Hailey Clement Music by Matthew Morden Art by Rory Blank
Y'all know what it is! How could The Boiz possibly let this incredible artifact of our insane culture go unremarked upon! They couldn't, but to deal with a movie of this size ... they needed a team ... so they recruited Sam Brown of Whitest Kids U Know to help them BREAK IT DOWN. Are there opinions? You bet your ass. Does everyone agree? Hell no. Come enjoy this RIVETING CHAT, and of course ... mondo spoilers. Edited and Produced by Hailey Clement Music by Matthew Morden Art by Rory Blank

BIG WEEK FOR THE BOIZ! This week Adam Deats the assistant director of Netflix's Castlevania gets on the pod to talk about fighting games, the show he makes, and what games he wishes he had time to play.

Edited and Produced by Hailey Clement Intro and Outro Music by Matthew Morden Art by Rory Blank
