Men in Black (1997): 4K Flexing, Dragon Maids, and Dressing Room Discomfort

It’s Halloween on NAFC, and the crew’s dressed in existential dread instead of costumes. The gang kicks things off debating whether gaming in 4K is really worth it—or just another flex for people with too much disposable income.

Izzy’s been deep into Full Metal Furies and The Legend of Hei, while Mox takes a surprisingly wholesome detour with Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid. Gibbs, meanwhile, crowns Scream (1996) the godfather of teen slashers before sharing one of the most uncomfortable dressing room encounters imaginable.

They also briefly revisit Weapons before speculating wildly about the mysterious upcoming film Him.

Finally, the crew dives into Men in Black (1997)—the ultimate mix of sci-fi, deadpan humor, and gooey practical effects. It’s nostalgic, it’s weird, and somehow, it still holds up better than most modern blockbusters.
