Sci-Fi Saturdays - 

This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay doesn’t exactly find a flux capacitor in the movie Project Almanac (2015), but they try their best. It’s a time-travel flick that mixes found footage with teenage ambition. He breaks down how this film fits into the long line of time-twisting adventures and explores what makes it a somewhat inventive entry in the genre. Read his article on RetroZap.com.  And make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU.  

Enjoy Shredding! 

Grab your pick and put on your best Rock ‘n Roll face as Jay and Shua dive into the world of Guitar Hero, the game that turned anyone with a PlayStation 2 and a dream into a living room legend. From the early days the button-smashing chaos of Guitar Hero Live, the guys explore what made this franchise a cultural phenomenon.

 

They debate the best tracks, celebrate their favorite moments, and even imagine a new kind of game, Guitar Hero: Movie Heroes, featuring icons from Wayne’s World, Almost Famous, The Blues Brothers, and more. Plus, stay tuned for the “Name That Riff: Guitar Hero Style” challenge that’ll test your knowledge of face-melting solos and classic riffs. And we try to figure out what the real name of some of the most famous shredders.
