82. Pete’s Hosting: An Unexpected Journey
October 06, 2021 08:08 - 2 hours - 79.6 MBThis week the guys invite another of Pete’s friends to show, Andrew. Andrew is FAR classier than the current roster of guys. Does this make things awkward? Naw, the guys job stay utterly classless and Andrew is just pulled down the he river of stupid in his class canoe. But he takes it like an absolute champ! This week’s episode isn’t as long as the last one, but it’s pretty damn close… What do the guys talk about out? Well, far more than they intended, to be sure. This episode is an i...
81. Another Kubrick in the Wall
September 29, 2021 08:37 - 3 hours - 83.7 MBKevin, David, and Pete get together with a special guest from Pete's high school days, Jared. The boys talk all sorts of whats new until they settle in after the break to discuss the works of writer/director Stanley Kubrick. Enjoy all this good aural!
80. Docking With Steven Amell
August 25, 2021 07:24 - 2 hours - 69.1 MBAfter a week the boys get together and let it all hang out. The show goes off the rails early on, but the train keeps on rolling! Stop reading this and start listening!
79. Charlies Angels Turned Us Into The Suicide Squad
August 11, 2021 07:29 - 1 hour - 34.8 MBThis week, the guys deliver unto thine ears, what is probably the shortest episode in the history of APNC. How did they do that, you ask? They sent David on a fetch quest to Colorado. This doesn’t mean there was a lack of content this week. Funny enough, the guys generally just watched the same things. They talk a bit about Ted Lasso and Shimgadoon and Kevin ends the show with talk of the last 2 Connery Bond films and a spin of the wheel. But between those sexy slices of bread ...
78. Ted Lasso and the Jungle Cruise of Doom
August 04, 2021 14:46 - 1 hour - 54 MBThis week the guys, sans Pete, cover some good ground. In the weekly review there’s a lot to take in, with Banshee, Shmigadoon, Barb and Star go To Vista Del Mar, and more. David jumps in to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Opie weighs in on Lethal Weapon 3, Kevin completely skips Connery Bond for another week (what a loser), and then, the coup de gras, Alex watches the first High School Musical movie. Trust us, he absolutely loves it and has already purchased a Zack Effron full ...
77. A.I. Will Kill Us All
July 29, 2021 02:58 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBThis week the guys are back at it after a short break. Do they have a lot to talk about? We'll let you decide on that one... But hey, back is back. They do get to talking about the Loki finale, finally. There's an array of opinions here. If you've been watching (who are we kidding, of course you have been!), odds are pretty good you know what's coming. Kevin and David continue on their franchise journeys and all is right with the world! Enjoy the episode and don't forget to like and subscrib...
76. Tinky Time With Chris Pratt
July 14, 2021 21:10 - 2 hours - 244 MBStrap in kids, its going to be a bumpy ride! Mythic Quest, Loki, Black Widow, franchises, video games oh my!! This week we're giving you close to 3 hours of great aural. The boys do some catch up and David talks about some video game he's playing that Opie and Pete have never heard of. The boys talk Mythic Quest season 2 finale and season as a whole. Loki and Black Widow get picked apart and beatified next. The third and final hour finds Kevin chopping away at some Connery Bond. David cl...
75. The Incredible Vanishing Opie
July 07, 2021 23:14 - 2 hours - 59.6 MBThis week, the guys have a few of the franchises to review. Also, Pete watches a movie that literally EVERYONE ELSE has watched. Kevin talks about a bunch of stuff that either no one should watch or is old enough that most people won’t… After a clearly well planned break, the guys talk Loki and the aforementioned franchises. Then Alex finally spins and lands a winner (for everyone else, anyways). Come watch/listen and enjoy! It’s truly magnificent. After you come down from the high of the...
74. Superman & Loki
June 30, 2021 14:01 - 2 hours - 60.3 MBAfter another week off, most of the guys are back and recording. This week Pete is on hiatus, but the show must go on! Somehow, with two weeks off, Opie fails to start his franchise and Alex is still boycotting the selection system, but Kevin and David come through with reviews of their franchises. While there are many reviews of many things this week, conversation focuses heavily on Superman and Lois and Loki. First Kevin and Alex pump up Superman’s superness and then the whole gang ...
73. When The Opie’s Away, The Mice Will… Still Pull Off A Show?
June 16, 2021 13:12 - 1 hour - 47.6 MBOpie is out this week but the rest of the gang still gets together and manages to put together a functional show. Alex takes the reigns this week and may be vying for Opie’s job. The guys throw down a handful of things they’ve been watching, including a smattering of reality television. Gross, right? Then Pete and David seduce us with dirty franchise talk. But the real magic (pun intended?) is in the second half, when the guys discuss Loki. The first episode is out and the guys go ful...
72. Chaos and Jeopardy
June 09, 2021 16:02 - 1 hour - 51.4 MBGreetings everyone! The guys took another week off last week and have come back to virtual explosion of new information. On top of that, everyone but Alex watched something in their franchise. His excuse is a weak one, so by all means, leave a comment and let us know how you feel about his attitude! After the guys go through their recommendations and franchises, they play a quick game of jeopardy. From an editing standpoint, I can tell you that this was absolutely chaos, but hopefully ...
71. What To Talk About When No One Has Watched Anything?
May 26, 2021 13:48 - 1 hour - 52.9 MBPete is out this week and the show is just chaos. Is Pete the glue? What a terrifying thought! Only David stays on task and watches his franchise. Everyone else barely watched anything new. Alex and Kevin go off on video games for a hot second, and that’s the entire first half! In the second half, the guys go over a list of 41 shows that you should (or maybe shouldn’t?) watch this fall. While they agree with some, there are some serious questions around the validity of this list. That sai...
70. The Afterglow From a Week Off
May 19, 2021 08:06 - 1 hour - 48.2 MBAfter a week away, probably fighting extradition laws, the guys are back again. You’d think they’d have watched so much more, but that’s not how this works… If you are hankering for a video game fix, Alex has a lot to say with 2 weeks of gaming under his belt. Everyone else has watched a little something and are happy to make their recommendations. For the first time in ages, everyone has watched a film from their franchise. It’s a Christmas miracle! It’s another fun week with more tal...
69. Getting F*&ked On This Show Is Not Fun
May 05, 2021 07:09 - 2 hours - 59.2 MBAfter some lengthy contract negotiations, Pete is back, so we have the whole crew again. Is it permanent? Who knows? Pete hired legendary agent Scott Boras so there are opt out clauses on both sides. Everyone has to be on their best behavior, which is a statistical impossibility! Back to the show… This week, the guys get through their weekly suggestions and then talk Daniel Craig’s final Bond movie, the final American Pie movie, and another Predator flick. Alex and Dave have to re-spin...
68. One less then 69
April 27, 2021 20:39 - 2 hours - 57.5 MBThis week the boys are delighted not to have Pete and his rambling nonsensical reviews and opinions. They discuss the Mortal Kombat reboot, franchises and some other stuff. Enjoy
67. This is why I don’t drink
April 21, 2021 08:22 - 2 hours - 55.1 MBThe guys are back this week in full. But this week, one of them is lightly intoxicated. Can you guess who? Hint: we tell you right away... This week the guys get through their weekly watch/don’t watch and then hit The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. After that, all but Opie revisit the Wheel of Misfortune. After a short break, the guys come back and talk about movies and their sequels which may or may not be better than the originals. They didn’t make the list, but they sure have opinio...
66. Everyone Back Together and the Whole World is in Jeopardy (That’s Just a Good Pun)
April 14, 2021 16:59 - 2 hours - 55.1 MBThis week, all of the guys are back. Yeah, even Kevin. We get your disappointment, but bear with us. After last week where all but one of the Godzilla vs Kong reviews were positive, the guys are back to deliver some less than stellar reviews. Kevin throws some shade on a show he openly admits no one should be watching, yet the moron is in season 3. The other guys watched a few things and of course Alex and Kevin revisited their wheels of fun. This weeks episode ends with game. Yup, its be...
65. Opi wa Gojira ga kirai
April 07, 2021 09:43 - 1 hour - 50.3 MBThe Boys, sans Kevin, get together and talk all things DC again...just kidding! Its a "What we're watching" update and then some wheel of misery reviews. Then they take a trip into the monsterverse and talk about a giant lizard fighting a giant monkey. It's a kaijutastic time!
64. APNC vs. The World
March 31, 2021 07:43 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBThis week the guys respond to the fan mail by going Peteless. In what could only be called a recovery week from the epic experience that was The Snyder Cut, the guys are back to their weekly watches and I their wheels of tears. Don’t worry, though, DC isn’t far from their minds, as Alex pulls them back in. Kevin also watches a show that isn’t really a show.. or is it? And of course, the guys will definitely talk Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Oh! And Alex gets to re-spin finally. Hear him re...
63. The Snyder Cut. But, Like, For Real
March 24, 2021 08:06 - 2 hours - 55.1 MBThis week the guys deliver on something they’ve talked about for weeks: The Snyder Cut. This new world epic is covered… epically. Yup, I said it. There are a lot of opinions to take in on this one and Dave has a very special perspective, having never seen the Joss Whedon version. The majority of this episode is a traditional APNC deep dive into the DCEU. You know what you are getting here. BUT, did the guys think it was an improvement over the Josstice League? Listen or watch and find out! F...
62. Coming 2 America And Other Things We Didn’t Enjoy
March 17, 2021 09:07 - 2 hours - 55.6 MBThis week the guys are back with a full crew. Again. Amazing, right? Well, hold your expectations. The guys have a lighthearted discussion about the new Eddie Murphy joint. If you want to read ahead, check out some of the IMDB reviews for a warm up. After that, the guys get down on their wheel picks. Did they talk Justice League this week? Listen until the end. There's a few bits and bobs here and there. And always, don't forget to like and subscribe!
61. It Was Wanda All Along
March 10, 2021 10:04 - 2 hours - 57.8 MBThe guys are back this week and finally get back to the worlds most important pop culture lady of the last 2 months, Wanda! They dive into the final 3 seasons and somehow manage to all share the same opinion. They then get into the movie wheel which everyone ALSO managed to participate in this week. Crazy. Oh, and Pete’s back. Have a listen/watch and enjoy!
60. We Care A Lot, Just Not About Wanda
March 03, 2021 11:00 - 2 hours - 64.5 MBThis week the guys get up to more no good. Pete is out for what we are told is the last time. As it so often happens, the guys promise but don’t deliver. This week, that non-delivery is on Wanda and the Snyder Cut (no shock at this point). Instead, they do focus on what they’ve been watching and their Wheels of Tears. After they get through that, they discuss Golden Globe nominee Rosamund Pike’s new flick, I Care A Lot. Do the guys care about it? Listen/watch and find out! As always, wheth...
59. A Little Wanda, More Wheel, and a Buttload of Remakes
February 24, 2021 14:40 - 2 hours - 58.4 MBThe guys are back this week to wax nostalgic about all of the remakes out there. Oh, who are we kidding? You know the guys aren’t ever happy about anything so the EPIC number of remakes in the works is sure to be fun. Without Pete once again, they also cover their wheels of misfortune. And it wouldn’t be a week without discussing WandaVision… though less than you’d expect. But don’t be fooled, this gaffe cannot be blamed on Pete. It squarely falls on Opie this week. What a disappointment. Oh...
58. Peteless in Seattle (A Valentine’s Free Episode)
February 17, 2021 13:00 - 2 hours - 59.9 MBThats right, the guys (sans Pete) record on Valentine’s weekend and don’t discuss Rom Coms at all. You’re shocked, I know. Instead they have this weeks Wanda talk, discuss what they watched this week, and then take another round on their wheels of sadness. Except Alex. He’s a big scaredy cat. If you don’t watch/listen to this episode, that’s what you are going to believe. So kick back and shake off the post Valentine’s blues (if you’re a fan of this podcast, odds are it was a lonely one anyw...
57. More Wanda, More Movies, and a few Golden Globes
February 10, 2021 13:00 - 2 hours - 61.9 MBThe guys are back this week, sans Pete. He’ll be back as soon as he is allowed out of protective custody. Informing on the mob is not for the faint of heart! Even without our very own Cowardly Lion, the show must go on. Speaking of shows, have you heard of WandaVision? We hope so, because the guys spoil the hell out of the latest episode. After that, Kevin, David, and Opie continue their trip down memories-you-wish-you-could-forget lane with their movie wheels. The show finishes...
56. Godzilla, King of Skull Island vs Kong… and the Wheel of Misfortune
February 03, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 47.8 MBThe guys are back at it again this week. They review their wheel picks again, though Opie and Kevin abstain this week. After Pete breaks the guys with another Bond breakdown and Alex and Dave are properly broken by the last Hobbit film and Elm Street 2, Dave is forced to make a new pick on the wheel. What does he get? Only the wheel knows! After that, the guys talk the Monsterverse with Godzilla and Kong. They are rightly excited while being overly critical of the franchise as a hole. What e...
55. The Future of the MCU and Our Wheel of Misfortune
January 27, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 46.3 MBThis week, the guys get together and talk about what is coming in the MCU. You will be amazed and astounded by their incredible lack of knowledge. Once they enchant you with their on-the-fly googling skills moments of confused radio silence, they move on to their franchise wheel. Pete gives us the dish on the first Roger Moore Bond film, Live and Let Die. Alex discusses the first Nightmare on Elm Street Move. David gives his thoughts on the first 2 Hobbit movies. Kevin covers the first Pir...
54. WandaVision, A Missing Opie, and Pete’s Redemption
January 20, 2021 13:00 - 2 hours - 58.2 MBThis week, for the first time in APNC history, the show is without our regular host, Opie. Where is he? Wouldn’t you like to know! In his stead, the guys roll the dice and allow Pete to host again. If you’ll recall the Rise of Skywalker incident, you’ll understand how this could go so horribly wrong. Did it, though? Did bringing David back with Opie out save the show. Will Opie ever return? So many questions! Don’t worry, the guys will answer almost none of these! That being said, the guy...
53. COBRA CATS-The Mash Up You Never Knew You Wanted
January 14, 2021 03:24 - 2 hours - 56.7 MBDavid joins the guys again this week, and they all talk Cobra Kai, but let's be honest, the pure joy of this episode comes from knowing that Alex's spirit has been crushed by the musical masterpiece, CATS. He is a broken man, but is able to hang on to life long enough to join in on some recent recommendations and a quick as of yet unnamed time filler game in the vein of One Has to Go, with Pete. Enjoy that good aural!!
52. DCEU-Can't Stop, Won't Stop! (FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST STOP ALREADY)
January 06, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 48.2 MBIn keeping with the retro theme of Wonder Woman '84, the guys get back to their roots, and by roots we mean, bashing DC, a best of list, and Alex being very Alex-y at Trivia. There's lots to unpack here. In a rare event, the guys have a pretty unanimous opinion on WW84. After the break they discuss their favorite new things of 2020, and then they finish with a new trivia game that goes exactly how you'd expect it to!
51.We Survived the Sarlacc Pit
December 30, 2020 13:00 - 1 hour - 39.9 MBMuch like the bounty hunter, Boba Fett, the guys have risen from the dead. Unlike that idiot, they were never lame! It appears there are still mixed feelings about ol' Boba. All that said, the guys have managed to get back together and record a Mandalorian themed episode for your listening enjoyment. Because they can't be trusted to their own devices, they brought back old friends Dave, and Donkey to supervise. These two are Star Wars nerds of the highest order and guaranteed to bring respec...
50.The Golden Anniversary
September 09, 2020 12:00 - 2 hours - 61.6 MBBoom goes the dynamite. But more like one of those poppers you get in the kid packs... That’s right, y’all. Your boys made it to 50 episodes. Well, most of them anyways. We still recorded after Pete’s bedtime. We are mostly sure he’s still alive, though… mostly… This week the guys go off the rails pretty quickly and talk about almost everything and nothing at the same time. But then Alex and Kevin save the show with the much anticipated VIDEO GAME TALK!!! Specifically the two summer ...
49. Where Have We Been All Your Life?
August 19, 2020 22:20 - 1 hour - 36.3 MBThe guys finally return. Well, most of them, anyways. Pete is noticeably absent, though he is editing this episode from the Great Beyond. The guys don’t waste a lot of time and jump right into what they’ve been watching. Kevin kicks it off, having watched what sounds like everything but amounts to nothing. Alex follows that up with the handful of shows he’s been watching, and the Opie takes the guys to awards town as they discuss some of the Emmy nominated shows. It’s a relatively short and...
48.Technical Difficulties and Alex Gets Some Points
June 22, 2020 13:46 - 2 hours - 64.5 MBStreaming picks abound as the guys give you everything they're watching (and playing) and you should be too. After some technical issues on Pete's part, the second half has another round of a trivia game, with Alex having his best showing yet! Enjoy!
47. Don't Worry DCEU, We Got This
June 05, 2020 09:29 - 1 hour - 51.5 MB2 epsidodes in one week!! Aren't you all lucky. HBO Max, Red Dead, and a whole host of other streamable goodies fill up a solid first half. The second half is dominated by the boys recasting 4 of the best the DCEU had to offer up for the silver screen!
46. The Decade in Laughs
June 03, 2020 02:05 - 1 hour - 80.9 MBThe boys are at it again this week with plenty of picks for you to watch, and some game chat about what you should be playing. The second half is all about the guys picks for the best comedies from 2010-Now! Enjoy!
Episode 45 - Something Old Is Made… Old… Again
May 22, 2020 14:08 - 2 hours - 128 MBEpisode 45 - Something Old Is Made… Old… Again The guys get in their way back machine this week and put together an episode structured remarkably like their earlier episodes. There’s streaming picks, a movie watched by all, and a game of trivia that a certain someone obviously dominates at… Pete jump on the grenade early and talks about the 90’s classic City Slickers. He does take some heat for watching something so old, but it’s a universally loved film, so the guys are able to ...
Episode 44 What to Expect When You’re Apocalypsing
May 15, 2020 14:16 - 1 hour - 102 MBSo you’re living in the apocalypse and trying to figure out how to get by? Well, the guys have finally mastered Zoom and are back to invade your earholes. What’s crazier, they’ve decided to use this technology to please your eyes, too. That’s right, we are officially posting video to YouTube. If it’s good enough for Colbert, it’s good enough for us! This week, the guys go down the massive rabbit hole of covering what they’ve been watching in quarantine. Honestly, you’d thing this list ...
43. DC: What's Marvel Got That We Don't ?
March 04, 2020 13:00 - 1 hour - 103 MBThe guys are back, after another unplanned break. No we aren’t going bi…weekly (see what I did there?). The group is back together, sans Pete. Where is Pete you may ask. We have an explanation for you in the intro and it’s super special, so listen in to find out! This week the guys run down so streaming and movie picks really quick. With Pete out, Opie, Alex, and Kevin cruise through the picks with blinding speed. There are some good suggestions in there so definitely pay attention! ...
42. Got Game?
February 20, 2020 00:05 - 1 hour - 109 MBThe guys are back in full force this week with what might be their longest episode to date. They even have a plan. The hell you say?? Check out the intro! They explain the plan. Listen to see if they follow it. Plan or not, here’s what actually happens: The guys kick off the episode by going through a few streaming picks. Pete does his usual and watches something that’s almost irrelevant, but sticks the landing, in West Wing. Next up, Kevin goes over a couple of recent Netflix recommen...
41. Oscar Birds of the Quarter
February 12, 2020 13:00 - 54 minutes - 49.9 MBAfter a longer than anticipated hiatus, the guys are back, much like Vanilla Ice, with a brand new invention... No? I thought for sure that joke would land... Anyway, the guys end up recording a shorter, more cohesive show this time around and skip the usual streaming picks. Our resident cat whisperer, Alex, was unable to find any cats to whisper to, so he switched to birds this week. That’s right, he bit the bullet and watched Birds of Prey so no one else has to. He all but confirms t...
40. Low Energy
January 30, 2020 03:50 - 1 hour - 69.6 MBAfter a week away, the guys come back with a plethora of picks. In a move no one (except anyone who understands the APNC level of organization) could have seen coming, the guys have eliminate assigned streaming picks and are now officially streaming at will. God help you all… Pete kicks things off by discussing the new space comedy, Avenue 5, on HBO. The pilot episode gets differing reviews from Pete and Opie, so you can imagine how that went. Pete also shed some of his self respect an...
39. Someone Has To Watch Cats...Game ON
January 15, 2020 14:45 - 1 hour - 96.8 MBThe guys manage to make it two weeks in a row to kick off the new year. They start with Streaming picks and play a solid round of trivia after the break. Opie kicks off the streaming picks. He had Hulu this week so of course he watched something on Netflix, That something? Don’t F**k with Cats. Its a very interesting documentary about an absolutely disturbing subject and comes with a very strong recommendation from Opie. Next up, Pete goes to network TV and watches Zoey’s Extraor...
38.What We Didn't See In 2019
January 08, 2020 19:51 - 1 hour - 81.7 MBAfter a week off which came after an episode directed squarely at Star Wars - The Rise of Skywalker, the guys are back into the swing of things. The show does kick off with a healthy lambasting of Pete and his interesting take of hosting an episode and then the guys get to their streaming picks. IN the many weeks leading up to this episode, Kevin managed to watch what seems like everything. On the channel he was actually assigned, he managed to knock out NOS4A2, a take on the book by J...
37. Rise of Skywalker (SPOILERS)
December 26, 2019 10:00 - 2 hours - 119 MBSPOLIERS SPOILERS SPOILERS, this episode is all spoilers. Gave everyone an extra day from the usual Wednesday drop, for anybody who planned a Christmas viewing of the final movie based on the Skywalker bloodline. This episode is SPOILER filled from the beginning, so if by chance you haven't seen the film yet; 1. What the hell is wrong with you? 2. Have I mentioned its chock full of SPOILERS? The boys welcome back Dave and welcome a new guest, Donkey. Pete hosts this one so you can g...
36. We Like To Have Fun Here
December 18, 2019 15:36 - 1 hour - 87.6 MBThe guys get together this week and do a little Pop Culture alchemy, turning very little into a whole lot of nothing!! We have streaming picks, trailers, and a new bad trivia game! Opie failed to catch much new on traditional streaming, though he caught up on the shows he’s been watching and continues to give rave reviews to The Morning Show on AppleTV+. He also found himself drawn into the rabbit hole that is YouTube. Kevin tail spins the guys into a Star Wars discussion as he p...
35. Streaming Picks and Trailer Clicks
December 12, 2019 01:33 - 1 hour - 74.7 MBThis week, the guys get back together and square up their sites on the recent rash of movie trailers that hit the airwaves. But first? That’s right, kids, streaming picks!! Pete kicks it off by, per the norm, watching nothing current or relevant on HBO. To his credit, though, he did watch a semi-classic film, Big Trouble in Little China. The guys take a few minutes to talk 80’s movie nostalgia before moving it along. Over on Netflix, Alex loses his heart and mind to the new Scors...
34.Christmas in David's Garage
December 04, 2019 09:07 - 1 hour - 78.9 MBThe Thanksgiving holiday presented a pair of challenges for the guys. We needed a new place record this week and Alex was stuck in traffic at the Grapevine. Thankfully, our previous mystery guest, David, was able to step up on both counts. His garage was a great space for recording and stepped in for Alex this week with no prep and filled the role to perfection. Jumping in to their streaming picks, Opie took this opportunity to not watch anything on Hulu… He does get deeper into The Mo...
33. Guess who hates Frozen? (Hint: It's not Opie)
November 27, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 99.5 MBIn what feels like a monumental achievement, the guys get together for a second week in a row. If you didn’t believe in holiday magic before, this ought to do it for you. That being said, the guys came in with absolutely no clue how to follow directions and thus we get to see what chais truly is. This is like the Black Friday of episodes. Opie kicks it off by being just the first of many who cannot watch their assigned networks. Instead, he gives us a breakdown of the continuing insani...
