VoIP Life 122: Lists, Like in the Old Days

We hang out to talk about the state of final fantasy before em insists we do anything else and starts reading off a bunch of letterboxd lists. It isn't exactly our greatest hour, but it is honestly how me and Jackson spend our time when we hang out, which is the spirit of VoIP Life.

Some spoilers for FF7 broadly? Crisis Core especially. View Post

Hello! Em here with a short story for you. About a month ago I decided since all my friends are scattered around the world I would gather as many of them as I could get nailed down and do something earnest about our years with them. I was expecting like 2 hours with 6 people and it turned into 5 hours with 10 people, but so it goes.

Block Busters 23: Saturday Night Fever

It is the 1970s, and there is time for being sad and listless in grimy cities. Instead of the usual Block Busters gregarity we have a pretty crunchy discussion about what is an extremely interesting movie. And then there's 50 minutes left in the episode. 

Heads up: Jackson's audio sounds like it's been recorded on a shitty microphone....

NOTE: There's some weird audio in this one in the second half specifically, sorry about that. Sometimes the internet is weird.

What starts as a murder mystery becomes a lengthy discussion about passion for film, directors being people, the power of the magic trick, and genre as a whole. Really enjoyed this movie, both watching and talking about it. So glad Benoit Blanc will be gracing us with his presence again so soon.
