We recorded so much, it had to be split into three levels. Stay tuned for Levels Two and Three, coming soon!

In .1 Nicholas, Chris, Jon, and Jay discuss the film of the week, Inception. They cover Christopher Nolan, discuss the ending, and Nicholas gives us the movie as a metaphor for film theory.

In .2 the quartet begin with the film’s chances at an Oscar, and continue on with more on the director and cast. There are a whole bunch of tangents, including video games, and summer films in general.

In .3 is full of deleted scenes. More on Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, summer films, and we — for some reason — talk about M. Night Shyamalan. Mostly unrelated to Inception, you can safely skip this.

Jay appeared on this week’s episode of Trending Cinema, where hosts Jon Tilton and Simon Miraudo are joined by three guests — Jonnie Chang, Tim Hansen, and Jay — to discuss the first entry in the summer action blockbuster season, Iron Man 2. Give it a listen right here, or go straight to Trending Cinema for more information.

About Trending Cinema:

Jon Tilton and Simon Miraudo—two strangers from opposite sides of the globe, united by the cornerstones of Web 2.0—examine the weird and wonderful world of film from their unique perspectives. Funny, honest, easily distracted, well-informed (kind of). At the very least, they always endeavour to keep the conversation Trending Cinema.

Back by popular demand (OK like two people asked for it) for the first time in a long time the entire Perfectly Sane Show cast is here. The crew sits down in Jon’s living room to discuss some games and movies, we even had an outline and attempted (for about 30 seconds) to stay on topic. In this episode we talk about Kirstie Alley being a Hutt, PAX East, Sony’s motion controller, Greek gods, talk in Indian accents, Jon plays deer hunter while stroking a shaft, the new Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and Modern Warfare 2′s map packs, Canadian Kangaroo’s, Hot Tub Time Machine, Andy wants to watch Miley Cyrus, River Phoenix, how to have sex with a monkey, the Bestiality handbook, the new Barenaked Ladies and Scorpions albums, and the 80s were awesome and Jon hates Nintendo (again).

Music in this episode:
Closer – Nine Inch Nails
Animal – Def Leppard

PAX ended nearly two weeks ago but that doesn’t mean I cannot bring it back. Episode 15 is the audio that we recorded while at the PAX East panel, The Death of Print. It was a great panel and hopefully you will be able to stomach the awful audio feed (I did my best to clean it up and amplify it) to pick up on some excellent conversation. But if not check out the upcoming episode 16 where we discuss the the Bestiality handbook.

Music in this episode:
Rock’n'Roll is Dead – Lenny Kravitz
Dead! – My Chemical Romance

We’re on our way to PAX. OK so we are already here and the show ends today but this is what we talked about on our way there. I am joined by Resume Play’s Chris Reid, and Derrick Bitner better known as VirginWolf. The audio might suck, we were in my car on a portable voice recorder I bought for $35 at Walmart but the three of us are in the car crossing the Connecticut River, Oregon Trail style and we talk about games too.

Music in this episode:

I’m Shipping Up to Boston – Dropkick Murphys
Start of Something – Stone Gods

The number 13 holds great significance for me. It is the number of my favorite football player of all time. It is the number I wore when I played soccer, hockey and baseball. It is the day when Jason comes out to kill all the promiscuous pot heads who are hanging out in his campground. And it is also the number of the latest iteration of the longstanding, and insanely popular Final Fantasy series. For this show, I am joined by Resume Play’s Chris Reid, and Tony Odett better known as Napoleon1066. The three of us sit around for an hour discussing our history with the series, JRPGs in general, and the behemoth release known as Final Fantasy XIII. We also answer some questions that might leave you scratching your head.

Music in this episode:

Battle Scene (FINAL FANTASY I) – The Black Mages
Matoya’s Cave (FINAL FANTASY I) – The Black Mages

Yeah so… Reid fell asleep when we were supposed to record and I was left with the option of doing a short a sweet show by myself or using some pre-recorded audio of Reid and I discussing the new Kevin Smith film, Cop Out immediately after leaving the theater. As the name implies, I copped out. The audio is a little janky (because it was recorded on my phone) but it gets the general point across. You can read my review of the film here, Reid says he is going to write a review. I’ll believe that when I see it. Subscribe to us through iTunes or listen to it down below.

Special Thanks to Trevor McKee and Steve Gomboc for proving the music used for the intro and outro this week.

I’m trying to get the show on a more regular schedule and I view this Episode as the new beginning towards that. In this episode we (myself, Reid and special guest Tommy_Arashikage) talk about the latest “big” Sony release, Heavy Rain. We discuss what we like and dislike about the game remaining relatively spoiler free and we also touch on the implications that the success or failure this game may or may not have across the industry. Subscribe to us through iTunes or get it here.

Music in this episode:

Rain – The Cult
Rainmaker – Iron Maiden

In this episode I have no special guests from anywhere, instead I talk for roughly 20 minutes about one game and one game only, Dante’s Inferno.

Music in this episode:

W***es of Babylon – from the Dante’s Inferno soundtrack
Redemption – from the Dante’s Inferno soundtrack
