Ep. 60 - Warcraft
A Bald Opinion
07/30/24 • 85 min
War is brewing, two factions ready themselves for battle. Is it orcs and humans? Horde and Alliance? Or is it Gudni and Neill?
Join the hairless half-orcs as they tackle the 2016 fantasy epic Warcraft, the VFX filled extravaganza based on one of the biggest games ever made. Does the story deliver the thrills and the kills necessary to wow the audience or will it stumble due to its rapid pacing? Are the orcs too hot? Are the humans not hot enough? No, seriously, why are the orcs so hot?

Ep. 66 - Heavenly Sword
A Bald Opinion
12/10/24 • 45 min
For once, the burden of being ginger falls upon someone other than Gudni. Enter Nariko, the blade-wielding heroine of Heavenly Sword, the 2014 film you never knew existed, based on the 2007 PS3 game whose cover you definitely know. After a small production company called Blockade Entertainment attempted the impossible, to create an extremely cheap film adaptation of a dead IP, it's up to the bald bros to search through the wreckage to find out what actually happened.

Ep. 13 - DOA: Dead or Alive
A Bald Opinion
09/27/22 • 85 min
Le tête chauve chums are back, and this time it's awkward. This week we take a tentative step into the bikini clad world of DOA. A fighting competition on a mysterious island, where have we heard that before? Oh wait, but this time everyone is hotter and making out. Come for the tournament, stay for the convoluted half baked story about nano bots and the bare arms of Eric Roberts, as we try to survive Dead or Alive.

Ep. 68 - Fatal Frame
A Bald Opinion
02/11/25 • 56 min
Picture this - two bald headed hunks being terrified to death by the spooky spectre of a school child. Picture this because... well, you have to because this is an audio format. That's right, the Bald Bros are venturing back to Japan for this latest instalment of their noble Video Game Adaptation quest. Fatal Frame sees the notoriously terrifying game being adapted into a coming-of-age ghost story - what a NOVEL approach. But will it be more fatal than frame? Will there be another Japanese twist? And will somebody please think of the children?! Only one way to find out. You guessed it. Listen (to) this.

Ep. 12 - Rampage
A Bald Opinion
09/20/22 • 80 min
This week our very own glabrous gorillas take a swing at 2018's Rampage starring the most enviable of eggheads Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Joining Dwayne is Jeffrey Dean Negan, Naomie Harris, and the real star of the show, George the oversized albino gorilla. Cityscapes crumble, mercenaries digest, evil CEOs scheme, bald men rejoice at the sexiness of their naked temples- this film really has everything- but is this arcade adaptation worth your time, or is it a real joystick in the mud?

Ep. 11 - Silent Hill
A Bald Opinion
09/13/22 • 79 min
Join the hairless hunks this week as they ascend the quietest mound this side of the Otherworld as we take a look at the 2006 adaptation Silent Hill. Sharon has a bad case of the Creepy Kids, so Rose takes her adopted daughter to the mysterious Silent Hill in a bid to cure her, but things get spooky and the pair find that surviving a nightmarish hellscape is an uphill struggle.
Is this a film to scream about from the roof tops or is a... silent hill?

The dreamcasting continues in round two, where the coned conmen turn the mic on each other and pitch two new hot properties. What is Neill's mystery game? Is Guðni really bringing two directors to the table? Did they actually record during a thunder storm?
All of this and more in Dreamcast Round Two!
