Episode 109 - Beat

Ben and Star host 2VP this week, so shake off that tired feeling, take a moment to collect yourself, and be cool… daddy-o!  There are lots of definitions to cover before getting in to the conversation.  From music to an artistic subculture movement to one of Ben’s favorite BMW “comercials,” there is much to talk about.  Star teaches Ben about Taylor Swift and a couple of Generation Z phrases.  Ben gets really excited about being able to do his oddly specific Bob Dylan impression, and bringing up his favorite movie director.  Games discussed in this episode include “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom,” “Hogwarts Legacy,” “Pacific Drive,” “Ultros,” “Cadence of Hyrule,” “Crypt of the Necrodancer,” “Alice: Madness Returns,” and “Hi-Fi Rush”

00:00:21 - Again with the third person, the unspoken bond, and TLoZ: Tears of the Kingdom
00:03:48 - Andrew’s side quest, Star tried unique Japanese Pringles, and too many ducks
00:05:18 - Ben talks about Pacific Drive, Star’s PS5 goals, and a playable acid flashback
00:09:43 - Borscht ingredients, Ben’s poetry decade, the subjectivity of art, and time signatures
00:12:20 - Buckle your notebook, club or whip, and off brand Duck Hunt, and MatPat’s show
00:15:47 - More verbs, birds flying, cooking, sailing, and Star explains “bro boats” to Ben
00:18:47 - On to the nouns, Star doesn’t know “cop speak,” a surprise, and back to Beatniks 
00:20:59 - “Old timey” phrases, of German origin, word confusion, and our music choice bpm
00:23:51 - The solicitation purr, Ben’s cat impression, and the “Intro to Rhythm” class final
00:26:40 - Cowbells at daybreak, even for a Canadian, and an excuse for Swiftie Star
00:29:17 - Taylor Swift’s latest album, Patti Smith, “No tea, no shade,” and 100 percent
00:34:37 - Trading friendship bracelets with 12 year olds, and Ben’s FAVORITE impression
00:36:03 - Beyoncé and the West drama, “Beat the Devil,” and Star summarizes Alien
00:41:44 - Tony Scott movies, the original “True Romance” ending, and on to video games 
00:44:07 - The “Crypt of the Necrodancer” franchise and the connection to Hi-Fi Rush
00:46:45 - On paper, mediocre 2-D platform elements, and Chai’s backstory and origin
00:50:25 - Beautiful visuals, no target locking, feels very linear, and uninspired boss fights
00:54:41 - No “real” replay value, great music (but not enough), and angry dance music
00:56:50 - A difference in opinion on Ye, no actual wives were harmed, and keeping time  
00:59:18 - Star’s better final thought, beating the mulch, and a hitman for slumlord Tom Nook
