We are proud to present our first TV show discussion/review! And I think we picked a doozie. "Justified" is what you get when you merge great writing, a modern cowboy, a Kentucky setting, no-nonsense characters, and a whole lot of tense and entertaining duels. We dig into what we think makes Justified check off essential TV boxes and what we enjoy about the characters, the stories, and the all-around badassery of some of the toughest and smartest cookies on television. If we were anywhere near as smooth and suave as Deputy Marshall Raylan Givens, we would probably be lawmen.  Intro Music by Austin Briedenthal - Sound Clip 1: Raylan Givens Quotes - Sound Clip 2: Boyd Crowder Quotes - Sound Clip 3: Raylan Intimidates Six Men - Sound Clip 4: Constable Bob Shares his Stance Outro Music: Justified OST - Harlan County Line, Performed by Dave Alvin Email: [email protected] YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs-AAw-EbqvH_XDOHmmMp9Q Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/modern.retrospect/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ModernRetrospectShow/ Twitter: @Mretrospectshow

In our first movie review episode ever we decided to tackle none other than one of the now former most anticipated Marvel movies since Endgame. The hype was high, the expectations were enormous, and everything hinged on a multiverse event that could shake up the current Spider-man trilogy. Listeners beware as we get into all sorts of spoilers and the spectacular and amazing details that made us love the movie. So swing on in if you want to hear two people dive into what could possibly be one of the most ambitious Marvel movies out!  - Intro Music by Austin Briedenthal  - Music Clip 1: Spider-Man No Way Home OST - Main Theme  - Music Clip 2: Spider-Man (Sam Raimi) OST - Main Theme  - Music Clip 3: The Amazing Spiderman OST - Main Theme  - Outro Music Clip: Spider-Man No Way Home OST - Extended Suite  Email: [email protected]  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs-AAw-EbqvH_XDOHmmMp9Q  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/modern.retrospect/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ModernRetrospectShow/  Twitter: @Mretrospectshow

What we have here is the first episode of ours ever to talk about a music album! That's right! We are kicking in the jams, not that we didn't have some before, but never like this! This week we talk about a fan-favorite album, On Stage, from the band, Rainbow. We get to have some real takes on all six songs as one of us is a fan and one of us is a first-time Rainbow listener. Let's go on a journey together and maybe we will find ourselves somewhere over the rainbow. So turn up those speakers, earbuds, or whatever listening device you got, cause this is our most rad, music-filled episode yet!   - Intro Music by José Luis Alcántara  - Music Clips 1: Kill the King (Live) - Rainbow: On Stage  - Music Clips 2: Man on the Silver Mountain (Live) - Rainbow: On Stage  - Music Clips 3: Catch the Rainbow (Live) - Rainbow: On Stage  - Music Clips 4: Mistreated (Live) - Rainbow: On Stage  - Music Clips 5: Sixteenth Century Greensleeves (Live) - Rainbow: On Stage  - Music Clips 6: Still I'm Sad (Live) - Rainbow: On Stage  - Outro Music: Stargazer - Rainbow: Rising/Man on the Silver Mountain Ending  Email: [email protected]  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs-AAw-EbqvH_XDOHmmMp9Q  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/modern.retrospect/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ModernRetrospectShow/  Twitter: @Mretrospectshow

We are back! This time we talk about some not-so-critically-acclaimed games. You ever play a game that was thrashed by critics but you liked it anyway? Perhaps the criticisms were on point but maybe you just happened to be so oblivious to them because you were too busy enjoying what was good about it. That isn't always the case, but this week we tackle the ones that got didn't make it so high on the totem poles, but still lived to shine for a niche minority. From hard-to-like protagonists to cold-calculated bounty hunters, we talk about a few select games that just didn't cut the mustard even if the sandwich may or may not have been decent. - Intro/Outro Music by Austin Briedenthal - Sound Clip 1: Haven Call of the King OST - Virescent Village - Sound Clip 2: Shadows of the Empire OST - Echo Base - Sound Clip 3: Rayman Arena OST - Intro Theme - Sound Clip 4: Tales of Symphonia Dawn of the New World OST - Intro Theme - Sound Clip 5: Star Wars Bounty Hunter OST - Main Theme - Sound Clip 6: Cruisin USA OST - Prepare for the Race Email: [email protected] YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs-AAw-EbqvH_XDOHmmMp9Q Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/modern.retrospect/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ModernRetrospectShow/ Twitter: @Mretrospectshow

There are sometimes those inconspicuous gold nuggets, those diamonds in the rough, or those random delicious curly fries that accidentally get thrown into the usually classic but also delectable batch of fries. It can be the same with games. This week we talk about games that didn't get the attention they deserved or have faded far into the background of gaming history.

This week we talk about all the many possible ways that games entice us, whether its their great quality, their enticing deals, or both! With an ever growing catalog in the gaming industry and our helpless backlog nagging at us for some attention, we dive into this topic with as much subtlety as Michael Bay does with explosions.  - Intro/Outro Music by Austin Briedenthal - Intermission Clip 1: Steamworld Quest OST : Battle Theme - Intermission Clip 2: Transistor OST : We All Become Email: [email protected] YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs-AAw-EbqvH_XDOHmmMp9Q Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/modern.retrospect/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ModernRetrospectShow/ Twitter: @Mretrospectshow

What do you get when you combine Italian mafia with a heart eating entity from the void depths of the universe, The Darkness obviously. This episode, we immerse ourselves in the origins, the history, the story, and the mechanics of the cult classic game, The Darkness. It's a wild ride of a game with more somber moments than you'd expect, wrapped up in Italian mafia lingo and rapid-firing pistols. Take a dive with us into The Darkness. We promise you it doesn't bite....if you are Jacky Estacado that is. - Intro Music by Austin Briedenthal - Intermission Clip 1: The Darkness OST : Main Theme (Beginning) - Sound Clip 1: Subway Loading Cutscene 1 - Sound Clip 2: The Darkness Voice Clip - Sound Clip 3: Subway Loading Cutscene 2 - Intermission Clip 2: The Darkness OST : Main Theme (Middle) - Intermission Clip 3: The Darkness OST : Credits (Middle) - Outro Music: The Darkness OST : Main Theme (End) Email: [email protected] YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs-AAw-EbqvH_XDOHmmMp9Q Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/modern.retrospect/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ModernRetrospectShow/ Twitter: @Mretrospectshow
