Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the 721st episode of the GeekVerse Podcast. I am someone's mom's brain, Travis Snail. I'm joined by...

Kirk (0:17)

I am the Porter, Kirk and Patzer.

Taylor (0:20)

I am the padlock, Taylor Field.

Yes, what a journey. This has been a big, big year for us as far as with Resident Evil. Kind of start with this because it's got announced, obviously, Zach Cregger, all of us like a variety of his films and I appreciate what he does film-wise. So it's like, okay, let's build up to this, right? So in the winter and the early spring, me and Dylan went back and reviewed almost every mainline game. We did a whole episode and then we did the Requiem episode. The only one we're missing is five. So we're going to do that one day, but there's rumors of a remake, but check out that where we talk about all the game stuff. And then on Patreon, I did release a Patreon preview for the first episode. But if you like that, for only five dollars, you can go get boys. Listen to this. We reviewed 12 Resident Evil movies.

Kirk (1:02)

Oh my gosh.

Travis (1:03)

This is the 13th. Is it the lucky 13th, the unlucky 13th? We will find out, but we have been on a big journey. And it's not over yet, because we're going to talk about this film, and then stay tuned, because we haven't even announced this yet, and we're so fucking far behind. I'm like, September 17th. We had Actual Life coming November 7th. Like, it's literally just around the corner. I thought about this week. I'm like, oh, I've not done any prep. I can at least say there's gonna be some Resident Evil segments. Me and Dylan talked about busting out five because we didn't play it. That is multiplayer. We might do that.

There might be another thing. Oh, there's one other thing, too. I can't remember what it was gonna be. But we're gonna have some segments there. Actual Life is our 24-hour stream where we raise money for BC Children's Hospital. So check out that. That's November 7th. We'll start cooking on those events. End of September, we'll start announcing stuff. But it's 24 hours of us, Dylan, and guests having a good time playing games, doing the Gauntlet Tournament, some Resident Evil stuff. I'm sure Tay will cook up a shirt. I think that's the only thing. We don't have it yet, but we've talked about maybe a, you know, Resident Evil GV Extra Life Hybrid.

So look out for that. So what you can look out for right now though, is this review. As usual, we start off with the non-spoilers. So if you're on the fence, if you're one of those like, I'm not watching as Leon, but how's the movie? Well, we're gonna tell you how it is, and then we'll do a little ad break. And then after that, we'll get into spoilers. We will warn you, so if you want to see the movie, you can bounce, or if you don't care, we'll spoil the whole thing for you. But we will give you a nice big warning. It won't sound like that. It'll just be my voice, but there he is. He's driving back to the 15th animated movie. But Kirkland Patzer, what did you think? Cause obviously, you and Taylor, I'm not sure we'd have to take a poll here, but you're also a big Zach Cregger fan. I think this was a big deal when it was announced. We liked the trailers and everything. We love Austin Abrams. We're not gonna be hipsters cause everyone's watching Euphoria, but I feel like me and Kirkland were really beating the jump for Austin Abrams after that Euphoria season two finale. Like, hey, why is this guy not in everything? And luckily Zach Cregger sees the vision. So did you see, obviously you saw his vision of night.

Was it a good vision?

Kirk (3:07)

Was the vision good?

Yeah, I'll say it was good. I had a fun time with this adventure.

Travis (3:15)

Fucking John Voight behind you, sorry.

Kirk (3:17)

I was wondering if you're going to notice.

Taylor (3:20)

Look at that. That's so good.

Kirk (3:23)

I didn't realize that.

Travis (3:24)

Yeah, you can see. Yeah, there you go. People there, John Voight's hanging out with Kirkland.

Kirk (3:28)

I don't know, this is throwing me off. I'm all mirrored, but yeah, he's behind me.

Travis (3:32)

He's watching. So you say good vision, but I felt like you had a little pause there before the good vision.

Kirk (3:36)

Yeah, definitely. This was, it had surprises in here for sure. I guess what I'll say without beating around the bush too much is like, this was a lot more comedic than I was kind of expecting it to be. I don't think the trailers gave that vibe at all.
