Pervert Gazette: Issue #4 (Patreon)

Dearest pervs,

It's the Improv is Dead Newsletter #4, what a thrill!

We had a BALL at the Mud City Festival here in Chicago. They put together one heck of a line up and we couldn't have been more grateful to be a part of it. Also, Dan came back into town and that made it all the more special.

Pod News:

This weekend we're off to 2nd Best Fest in Richmond alongside our friends Real Angels! If you're in the area, we're part of the Friday 6 pm line up. Grab a Ticket!

Along those festival lines, we're playing Saturday July 25th as part of iO Fest along with Reckoning and Friends and BLAST! Should be a hoot! We're part of the Saturday Day Pass

We've got some very fun guests coming up pending no reschedules and the the names of their podcasts rhythm with Cello Dom Tragic Latern and Ok Diddle Fiddle and Can Log Tod.

We're dropping a listener survey soon to get some feedback on the pod now that we've been back in our reality for a few months! Be on the look out for that if you want to let us know how we're doing!

Tim

From stretching my hips in frog pose to actively shopping for an MP3 players, it's been a month to remember! I'm doing a lot of reading about ticks and those flesh eating screw worms that just popped up in Texas after being eradicated since the 70's. Love it.

TV

I've kinda been hate watching Monarch on Apple TV. It's...not great and yet I'm 3 episodes into season 2. The special effects are fantastic with the greatest special effect being Wyatt Russel playing the younger version of his father Kurt Russel. It's the easiest back and forth I've ever seen! Outside of that, the writing is pretty rough and I only find myself caring about the flashback stuff. There's also a character named Tim that's kind of insufferable and that's a shame.

Movies

Backrooms and Obsession dropped last month and you know cha boi was seated for both. I knew nothing about Obsession going in luckily saw it opening day before the hype train, but it truly is a great flick. I was hooked from the get go and Inde Navarrette was so locked in.

Backrooms was my most anticipated of the year and while I really enjoyed it, I didn't love the final act. I think it was a mix of a chunk exposition smacked right into when it was starting to get going and as Penguin_Pablo mentioned in the discord, perhaps a bit of immediate monster fatigue. I was thinking about the movie for the entire day afterward though and I think that's the sign of a good movie!

Gaming

I typically don't shell out for a full price game when indies are so plentiful but I was really interested in Crimson Desert and I'm so glad I went for it. A gorgeous game with seemingly endless things to do, a world that really feels alive, where you're constantly discovering new things to do and ways to play. If you end up playing it, my advice would be to watch one beginners guide to get your bearings and then just go for it.

DamianLooking forward to cheering on the Mexican national team in the world cup.

If you're in Chicago, come out to the Square Roots Festival, 7/11-7/13. Lineup here: https://squareroots.org/music/
