Episode 385: "Stew Says 'Hi'"

6/3/2024
It’s a catch up episode this week at The Say Report when Devon and Sejohn share the other things that occupied their time during Brendan Fraser History Month. Unsurprisingly after a brush with the awkwardness of going back out into the real world for socialization… the conversation turns to the video games that the two have been playing and the broader landscape of gaming as it was reflected this past week with Sony’s State of Play event.

Episode 384: The Hot Dr. Pepper Report

5/27/2024
Boil your Dr. Pepper and strap in tight for this Double Header episode celebrating two of Brendan Fraser’s films that are celebrating their 25th Anniversary this year: "Blast From the Past" and "The Mummy" We kick things off with Devon and Sejohn reporting from the Bunker on “Blast From the Past” and exploring how the film has aged, how it was the perfect vehicle for Brendan despite its disappointing showing in the box office, and finally how it may in fact have been evidence of too much of a good thing being the cause behind the failure. Then for game two we are joined by our Quizmaster General Will Fournier for two quizzes that tell us which character from the film we are and test our knowledge of the film that launched this whole crazy train a rolling. There was a third film that Brendan was in in 1999, “Dudley Do-Right,” and if you want to listen to our thoughts on that one we recommend going all the way back to 2022 to our episode entitled “The Anniversary Report” where we take a deep dive into Dudley Do-Right while also celebrating Devon’s Parent’s Anniversary!

Episode 383: Streamers of the Flower Moon

5/20/2024
Finally after many years and false starts Devon and Sejohn are ready to discuss Martin Scorsese's film adaptation of David Grann's true crime novel "Killers of the Flower Moon." As a bonus, since this is the first project featuring newly minted Academy Award Winner for Best Action Brendan Fraser it makes perfect sense for it all to happen during Brendan Fraser History Month. However, before we can discuss the film, we have to discuss the leaps and bounds that have occurred in these early days of the third wave streaming wars. Especially since in the two weeks that we first broached the topic lines have been draw in the sand and alliances formed revealing who will be working together in an attempt to find themselves the definitive king of streaming entertainment.
