A while ago there was a Reddit post about someone who had started making their way through a list of the Top 100 Movies of all time. @monotiller saw this list and decided that there was a few questionable entries. So, feeling like @mr_turnabout had had it too good for too long, @monotiller decided to ask @mr_turnabout for opinions, witt and criticisms of the list!

So during the Danganronpa V3 retrospective, @mr_turnabout and @monotiller went on the tiniest of tangents on the PlayStation Vita and it’s absolutely strange nature.

Your Hosts Today

Today, THE @mr_turnabout and a @monotiller are back with their Danganronpa retrospective series, this time; Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony is going under the microscope. Join them as they pick apart the third main instalment in the series in: The Fall of Danganronpa

Today we’re going to be talking about two movies we saw in the cinema that we liked, and then we’re going to talk about how cinema is on its last legs… we’re not sure how we got there but nevertheless it happened!

Welcome back to the second part of our retrospective series on the Danganronpa series. This time we’re taking a look at Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. A fan favourite as well @monotiller’s high point of the series.

As before we’re going to take a look at the six chapters that defined not just Hajime and the gang’s future in the series but also the tone of the series as a whole. This one’s a long one so sit down, relax and of course enjoy this two hour extravaganza as we present an unrelenting amount of praise for: Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair

Hello and welcome to the second episode of our podcast and the start of a mini series looking back at the Danganronpa series. A series that we're both quite fond of.

In the first part we're looking at the first game in the series: Trigger Happy Havoc: Danganronpa, we'll take you through all six chapters, give you our thoughts and feelings, and of course talk for way too long on this subject.

Stay tuned for the second part coming in the near future!

Hello and welcome to the first episode of Dreary Middle COLON The Podcast. A new show where all your hosts do is talk about the things they like, and to immediately buck that trend they're talking about something they don't like; Star Trek: Picard.

In this first episode we will talk about how the first three episodes feel almost anti Star Trek: The Next Generation in execution, later on we'll take a quick retrospective look on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine as @mr_turnabout watches the show for the first time!

Don't forget to let us know your thoughts on this first episode in the comments or reviews!
