Game Hype: The Plucky Squire & UFO 50
The very cute looking The Plucky Squire is out today on pretty much everything. This action-adventure platformer has an amazing look with characters making their way from storybooks to the world outside them.
And, one we've been waiting for, for a very long time is UFO 50, out Sept 18th on Steam. This game was supposed to come out 2018! Now, after so many years, you can play a collection of 50 brand new games made in homage to classics.
It's such a surprising game as it's had very little marketing over the years, with no new trailer in years as of writing this.
Reviews for both games are both going strong and perfect for upcoming Thanksgiving/holiday breaks or something just to play in-between whatever your doing.

Halloween To Do: SoCal Halloween Goes Full Swing
Here's what's starting up for Halloween this week! This is when all the big haunts starts up, not just Horror Nights! Be sure to check our Halloween Guide 2024 for everything else that's already started or gonna happen.
Knott's might not be connected to any of the horror franchises or latest scary movie, but they make up for it by making up their own scares like they've been doing for more than, well it'll be 50 years. Knott's is the old school haunt you can always come back to and get the berries scared right out of you.

Oddly, having Janelle Monáe have her own section called Monáe Manor has our attention. We guess it's not so weird with Shaq having his own themed haunt for two years and The Weeknd having a section at Universal Horror Nights. What were writing is pay for the extra sections more than just the ride, they're well worth it.
Starting September 19th
Ages 21+
"Prepare yourself for a night of ghostly tales and ghoulish delights as we delve into the Queen Mary's most famous apparitions. Each spine-chilling story, each more terrifying than the last, will be perfectly paired with specialty concoctions featuring "spirits" of their own.
Thursday, September 19, - October 5,

"Step
into an extraordinary, immersive theater experience blending mystery,
terror, and exhilaration with breathtaking acrobatics and captivating
characters. It offers fear, joy, laughter, and wonder, taking audiences
on a phenomenal ride through the Underworld and Vampires."

Yes, Beyond Fest is back and we'll probably sell out of some films right away, so be prepared!
Woah, didn't expect anything that attune with actual anime over at Japan House, they usually shun it so.
6801 Hollywood Blvd, Level 5, Los Angeles, CA 90028
The afternoon begins with a special screening of three episodes of the latest BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War series (Episodes 1-2 and the world premiere of Episode 3 of BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War), followed by Risa Light leading a lively discussion with stars Morita and Sugiyama. As well as sharing behind-the-scenes insights, the actors will also give a live voiceover demonstration. Together, they’ll explore the art of Japanese voice acting, their roles in the anime production processes, and the cultural influences that shape this unique craft."
Hayao Miyazaki and the Heron, a documentary from NHK, followed Miyazaki around for seven years while he was making The Boy and the Heron. It's currently on Max.
It's nice it's on Max...but, they have such bad advertising to let people know. They didn't even bother making or subbing an English trailer because they kind of suck and are too large a company to cover everything...though Netflix manages.
We've been waiting for this one for a while and was hoping for it to free through NHK via YouTube.
It could have been also good if GKIDS had the rights still as Warner Bros Max barely cares it does to all the Ghibli stuff digitally. Haven't seen WB's promote it once.
It's pretty insane to think about i was bought out of love and they probably ain't gonna see a profit on it. We're waiting for it to be on whatever Streaming service pays for it.

This found footage film has a fun premise of spotting a cryptid creature, the in-the-title Frogman. Frogman tells the story of Dallas Kyle trying to prove that the footage he captured of a Frogman when he was twelve is real. In his quest to document him finding said monster, he has two film school friends join him. Frogman is now a bit of a town mascot/tourist attraction, so people find his quest...kind of stupid.
There's a fine line of comedic undertones to this one. When we start getting to the frog meat of the movie it's a solid romp into a quirky horror classic.
This would almost be one of my top tier horror films for the year, but thereare some parts we wish were done better. Not gonna go over it, but if it were tweaked in certain places would be an all time best.
You can find the film streaming online or can rent/buy online.
Highly recommending going in some what blind to see Milk & Serial. This has been getting a lot of buzz in horror circles. It's a free to watch found footage horror film with a small budget of $800 that totally pulls off its premise. It's only about an hour long. Perfect to get in for those craving just a little bit of horror before bedtime.
We're not promising you the best or most outlandish, just a short but sweet horror film about social media pranksters and a birthday that just goes really bad.
See if you can spot where it was filmed in the valley.
The Jackbox Naughty Pack Review: Woah, What Are You Into?
The game's look conveys the horny of yesteryear. Not going for a straight-up porn site look, the menu has you at an adult video store, which I assume are all dead at this point with the invention of the Internet. Still, it's that little extra work of fun look, great writing and easy to access play that makes Jackbox, Jackbox.
The first game my friends and I got into was the full new one, the wonderfully titled, Let Me Finish. A debate drawing game where you get to draw and explain why you put nads on a piece of broccoli on its green mound and not it's stalk. Game-play went ultra well as one of my friends is very Christian and another had a small baby on them. Much to my relief, we were not playing in person. So seeing and hearing friends trying to debate random objects and why you should have relations with them was somewhat guarded over Discord.The game was the least favorite by the group, but it might be because it's hard to debate which electronic device has the stinkiest wiener with small tykes around them.
Yes, I told everyone it was an adult version of Jackbox.
So the game-play has you debating your fellow players after being asked a rather dirty question over a random object. All of which are pretty f'd up and funny. You each get to draw over said object before you present your case, because doodles on boobies on a toothbrush will never not be funny.After two players show and give their case. Everyone else votes on why that part of a broken-down Honda Accord is its taint.
You can even add a small bonus point boost to your score if you want to chime in with another thing to say on the debated object.
It worked for me and it'll work for you too...in that it's a dirty game that might get some getting use to, but it we'll have you and your friends laughing at how dumb a carrot can be, but look so hot.
The final game in the pack and what we played last was of course the favorite of the night. Dirty Drawful. Yes, Drawful is back and more filthy than ever before! The classic Jackbox game has a new coat of paint...dat owl in the high heels, woah!
Game play has not really changed, but the prompts sure have as the game tasks you with inappropriate prompts to draw. Well, it be wrong to be asked to draw such scandalous smut outside of this pack, but here, here you have to. Everything dirty, foul and wrong is welcome.The Wheel of Inappropriate Proportions was written out to what was I remember being a doodle of butt-hole eating someone alive. That's just a inside Jackbox joke that I thought was the real answer. But a friend saw it that butt-hole as that.
Ya see, the game has you draw weird, dirty doodles, then others in the group try and trick others in the group by writing out what they might be. Then, all those different answers are left out in the open and you've got to decide if that's a hefty set of breasts or snowman boobs melting depending on the image and artistic talent of the group.
We had the most fun with this one. So many horrible, but funny images, many not involving penis...there was a robot with one.I forget how Drawful is smart enough to fool you with real answers to images prompts that are misspelled or contain someone in the group's name. The game can get quite down fiendish in tricking you and so can your friends.
My friends wanted to played for more rounds of it before we switched to older packs.
The Jackbox Naughty Pack did it for me. It got my friends and me off...from another boring Thursday night. The pack may have only three games, but their all winners and crafted by the fine folks who've been making these type of games for years. This is their 11th pack, but the studios' been around a lot longer. So, the 18+ title makes sense.
In this case, they only had to refine two games, but they sure as Heck refined them to fit this black bar rated game. I definitely had my doubts about this new one before it came out, but after playing it, it's a welcome edition never to be played with children or my parents. Grab it for you adult Halloween party coming up.
