Episode 108 - Juice

Episode 108 - Juice

2024-04-29
Download

This week Andrew and Ben have a word inspired by our 2nd (insert air horn sound) review code (and for the PS5 no less)!  But first… a little bit of housekeeping featuring the one and only star of a single “The Three Stooges” episode, the "magic” 8-ball.  As you know, the gentlemen are fond of complicated math, so prepare for that AND a long definition segment.  Other topic diversions include: self help books, Ironwood Studios’ first release “Pacific Drive,” beverages, Juice Newton, superhero movies, French food, Ben’s review of Juicy Realm,” and 2VP merch ideas.

00:00:21 - Sausage, Tucson’s Zine Festival, and Andrew gets help from Asplenia Studios!
00:02:40 - Ben’s “almost first kiss,” 2VP merch possibilities, and help from Dr. Faith Harper
00:07:22 - Low budget time travel, a borscht-centric show, and Bethesda games on PS5
00:09:07 - Playing Pacific Drive, the joys of repair putty, and the “Herby-esque” station wagon
00:12:02 - Sort of a college word, and calculating the Magic 8-Ball equivocation percentage
00:17:20 - Magic 8-Ball facts, an obscure “The Three Stooges” episode, and cocktail concepts
00:19:05 - Brendan Fraser, the Orange Julius, in Swedish, and prune juice is helpful sometimes
00:23:10 - Juicing up, too soon, usage over time, cratered in the 1970’s, and pulp preferences
00:26:19 - Meat juice, a favorite kindergarten food of Ben, AZ snails, and living in slug country
00:30:05 - A direct to bathtub situation, the Tim Burton Superman movie, and the multiverses
00:33:36 - Superhero popularity waning, favorite food truck movies, and Colm Meaney roles
00:37:27 - The Fall Guy theme, the Beetlejuice window, and one of Ben’s favorite Judds 
00:39:35 - The origin of a slogan, fruit chews facts, and coastal Oregon’s saltwater taffy 
00:43:25 - Andrew’s Juice Newton memory, Deadpool movies, and the “Queen of Hearts” song
00:47:50 - The theory springs a leak, bringing the horns, and a new tagline for the show 
00:49:56 - The story of Juicy Realm, movers and shooters, the gameplay loop, and avocados
00:52:30 - A comic strip style, PS5 is not required, powers and weapons, and saving seeds
00:55:15 - Taking chances with weapons, the four biomes, room types, and less than the cost
00:58:04 - Three ups, two payers, four sticks, no cups, three downs, and Ben recommends
01:01:21 - Fan art creations, a cup of coffee, “comfy” tracksuit merchandise, and final thoughts
 
A BIG THANK YOU to PM Studios and Team Critical Hit for our PS5 review key for “Juicy Realm!”

Ben’s Review of Juicy Realm 
3 UPs:
- 2 player local Co-op 
- Amazingly goofy Sunday funny paper cartoon graphics with a wide variety of creative weapons
- After clearing the game the first time, difficulty modifiers are added so you can accumulate more seeds when you clear a biome, but it is entirely optional.

3 DOWNs:
- No Option for online co-op gameplay
- Some minor UI anomalies do exist that make weapon modifier selection difficult at times
- Not balanced as much as I would have hoped… there is one character selection that is clearly superior and a number of weapons that are the most effective

DO BUY/PLAY… If you want a thrifty purchase with an arcade-like feel, but with the some of the variation, depth, and replay value of a rouge lite!  If you like games similar to Hades and Cult of the Lamb, you may want to check it out.  Even at full price, it’s a steal!
