Out of nowhere, Chaplin shoves the knife in, picks up 50 beans!

Welcome to Recontopia, a happy home for recommended movies, shows and music from two people you can definitely trust.

Trustability varies by region, no guarantee is implied.

Now here are your hosts, Chris, I can send Jeremy Scott.

This is Recontopia Episode 59, I'm Chris Atkinson, I'm Jeremy Scott and once again would like to acknowledge the chat out there,

people will come out here to watch us on a Tuesday do this podcast, today's big recommend is a two-fer, got two shorts,

the immigrant from 1917 and a dog's life from 1918, Charles Chaplin shorts, be interesting to talk about those that's going to make this a different podcast already.

But how are you doing today Jeremy? I'm feeling good, I'm feeling good, I'm starting to get a little bit of restlessness back after the events of Sin-Wheat.

Yeah, but yeah, I'm excited for this conversation, I had never seen either of these shorts that I'm going to talk about today and it should be a fun,

yeah, absolutely, do you have any small recommends? It's so small and light, it's small, it's tiny, it's petite, it's weak.

I do and for those who prefer our recommends to be movies, I apologize up front because again last week was Sin-Wheat and I was here and there everywhere and I think I totaled up that I drove about 500 miles in four days,

even though it was all just in and around Nashville and back home. So I have not seen a lot of movies and I've already recommended most of the stuff I saw before that period.

So my two recommends are not movies, but I hope you will enjoy them. The first one is a game that we played at a small pre-Syn's event with some of the attendees called Chameleon.

And I noticed you were playing, look like some sort of blockbuster video based trivia movie trivia game or something.

Yeah, it was mostly just kind of your partner gives you a clue and then you have to guess what the movie is from that clue and there's four different categories.

One's like, you say something like a quote from it, it can be a fake quote if it needs to be. One is that you acted out, one is, you know, there's all those different kinds of things anyway.

All right, well, first I played Giant Jenga which was wicked fun and then I went around and played this Chameleon game the rest of the time through and I found it incredibly fun.

I'm going to try and describe it to you. Basically, they have these topic cards like science fiction and on there, there'll be, I don't know, 16, 24 different examples, alien, the Martian, Star Wars, et cetera, et cetera.

And then everyone is given a card. Everyone but one person's card has this grid on it like letters across numbers down.

And that will give you a letter and a number and then I'm sorry, this sounds complicated at first. One person's card says you are the chameleon.

All right, and so then everyone does their little George at the vending machine lines up after you roll the dice, the letter and number and you find out let's say it's B4.

So you look at the topic card and it says B4, you go down to that and let's say it's Jurassic Park.
