S5E37 - Action Game Shows - “Tom Hanks is good, for sure”

Action Game Shows are truly amazing. Whether we are kids watching
Nickelodeon GUTS and Legends of the Hidden Temple, or we're
adults binging Ninja Warrior and The Floor is Lava, these kinds
of reality shows are never not fun to geek out about.


What got us thinking about this was watching the Jedi Temple
Challenge on YouTube. Think of it like a Star Wars-themed Legends
of the Hidden Temple that's Hosted by Ahmed Best (formerly Jar
Jar Binks, but now a Jedi Master!). He is joined by a snarky
commentator droid, who might be one of the best droids this side
of BB-8. It appears as though these characters are canon, too, so
Ahmed has finally become something truly awesome in the Star Wars
universe.


We also talk a lot about the best ones from our childhoods,
including Nick Arcade (watch it here:
https://youtu.be/7ST-4I7EYVA), Double Dare (which Beej got to see
live), Legends of the Hidden Temple, GUTS, American Gladiators,
and more.


Beej also talks about why the Japanese version of Ninja Warrior
(Sasuke) is way better than the American one. And Void gives him
a lot of reasons why he should watch Ultimate Beastmaster on
Netflix.
Weekly Geekery

Our weekly geekery this time revolved around Howard, Forager, the
fantastic movie Marriage Story, and Greyhound. I would write up a
bunch about them here, but...you should just listen. You'll enjoy
it more, haha!
