May 18, 2023 14:46 - 28 minutes - 39.2 MBPhase 5 of the MCU is getting better with its second entry, the long-awaited Guardians of the Galaxy 3, which keeps the humor of the first two films intact while expanding the heart and aggressively drawing out the tears. Star-Lord and Drax maintain the same beats, while Nebula shines as the film's MVP and possibly the MCU's finest example of character development since its inception in 2008, but Gamora goes on a completely different and exciting path as a Ravager, showcasing a family full o...
066: Star Wars Celebration 2023
May 05, 2023 20:42 - 30 minutes - 41.2 MBLet's talk about Star Wars, their recent 2023 celebration, and what they've got going on for the near future. As the most prolific science fiction franchise in the world, Star Wars has both blessed and disappointed fans in recent years, and sure, you can't please everybody, but Disney certainly tries. Let's take a look at the good stuff.
065: Happy Birthday Gundam! A Giant Robot Celebration
April 08, 2023 01:51 - 25 minutes - 34.9 MBOn April 7th--today--my favorite anime, and one of the greatest dramas in Japanese history, Mobile Suit Gundam (1979). Although most Americans wouldn't get to enjoy and appreciate Gundam until around the time the franchise was celebratring its 20th anniversary as one of the most widely revered, influential, and iconic giant robot animes, largely in part Cartoon Network's March 2000 debut of the mega-hit Gundam Wing (which ironically always premiered in Japan on April 7th, 1995), Gundam is no...
064: The Future of Video Game Consoles
April 08, 2023 01:28 - 27 minutes - 37.9 MBVideo game consoles have been an insanely huge part of my life and childhood, and the evolution of home consoles from generation to generation have presented a plethora of ideas and mechanisms we now consider staples, easily taken for granted. With the emergence of always-on DRM gaming and disc-less home consoles, the future of home consoles will soon be at the mercy of other companies in the same niche, but rather its one true rival: the gaming computer.
063: John Wick 4 & The New DCU
April 07, 2023 23:15 - 31 minutes - 43.8 MBI have found so few film series that have succeeded that way that the John Wick series has succeeded. I would absolutely love to see James Gunn's new DC comics Universe on film succeed in the same way(s)....hear me out!
062: MCU Redemption: The True Purpose of Phase Four
April 07, 2023 23:02 - 29 minutes - 40.9 MBThe MCU's Phase Four has been considered to be stand-alone, interim, weaker material for fans to have to suffer through before Marvel finally fully recovers from the Covid-theater crisis and get die-hands back to the movies. I strongly disagree, and I think I've discovered the true purpose of Phase Four: to redeem the characters that were dirty in the past. I have a hunch that Marvel Studios will continue this trend into Phase Five.

Episode 59: RE:DREAM
December 03, 2021 22:12 - 32 minutes - 45 MBI'm only here to brag today about the most beautiful Emulator for a video game console I've ever used. It's called REDREAM. And it perfectly allows its users to go back to the early 2000's and play all the classics of the sixth generation of home console gaming that current generations owes it's very existence too. Games using cel-shading? Dreamcast. Built-in modem for online gaming? Dreamcast. Internet Browser? Dreamcast. Perfect arcade ports? Dreamcast. Let's take a little dive...

Now that all nine episodes have been released...hear are my thoughts.

March 10, 2021 05:25 - 25 minutes - 35.4 MBIt's not everything it's cracked up to be, this year. Both good and bad. But I'm definitely getting a feeling that DC is stepping up, or rather about to step up. Fandome was a fun and impressive reveal party of films, games, and series about to wreck the world in the next couple of years.

Podcast 48: Birds of Prey--Quarantine Collection
April 08, 2020 18:28 - 28 minutes - 39.8 MBWelcome to part three of the Q Collection! Today I'm reviewing Birds of Prey, which has become available earlier than expected as a result of theaters closing down during the COVID Crisis. Interesting how this shutdown has really forced the entertainment industry to rethink how to provide their services for faithful customers, and DC's early digital release of Birds of Prey is an example of this. The film itself is....well, let's just talk about it.

April 07, 2020 11:49 - 34 minutes - 47.2 MBApril 7th, 1979--today, 41 years ago--the greatest anime franchise of all began. They call it the "Star Trek of Japan" now, but back then, it was just one series: Mobile Suit GUNDAM. It's my favorite anime and I believe it is the most impactful.

Podcast 045: Sonic the Hedgehog
January 29, 2020 07:09 - 35 minutes - 48.8 MBListen, I still don't know why they're making a live-action Sonic the Hedgehog movie. Especially after all this time. But hey, I guess if you gotta do something, it might as well be decent, and the studio seems to have put in a lot of much-appreciated patience into this passion project. But, not every video game movie adaptation is a winner. In fact, most of them are most certainly not. So the real question is--especially now--why even make this movie?
Podcast 44: I'M BACK!
January 20, 2020 08:28 - 45 minutes - 61.8 MB*SEASON 3 ALERT* 2019 left a lot to be desired, and a lot to be spoken of for years to come.

Podcast 43: Joker
December 15, 2019 01:05 - 50 minutes - 68.7 MBIt can't be said enough that this year's Joker, directed by The Hangover's Todd Phillips, is a top contender for film of the year. And, considering superhero buffs got their first look at Captain Marvel in her solo debut, their FIFTH look at Tom Holland's Spider-Man in Far From Home, and the ultimate final page to the Infinity Saga of the MCU with Avengers: Engame....all in the same year...THAT'S SAYING SOMETHING.
Podcast 042: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (Trailer)
December 04, 2019 14:56 - 38 minutes - 52.7 MBIt can be argued that Star Wars is the most significant global sci-fi phenomenon to ever grace the silver screen. Now that the trailer for Episode 9 is out there, and the film is ready for release in under a month, how to do we even begin to approach this movie? Let's talk about the trailer and how to step to it, especially after the successful but polarizing previous episode, The Last Jedi.

November 27, 2019 16:18 - 53 minutes - 73 MBGhostbusters (1984) has always been, and will always be, the greatest cinematic achievement in my head. Thanks to the theatrical 35th anniversary showing and some burning questions from my mom, maybe I will be able to answer why.

Podcast 039: Evangelion
July 23, 2019 06:23 - 1 hour - 87.8 MBEven with the beginnings of the best ComicCon 2019 news, I'm still stuck on three things that seem to get older and older: Jessica Jones, Google Stadia, and The arrival of the anime masterpiece Neon Genesis Evangelion, its compilation film Death(True)², and its controversial finale, The End of Evangelion. It's an all out war against the Angels, and it is time to explain just what in the world this series is, and why I love it so much.

Podcast 035: 3000--Avengers Endgame
May 13, 2019 07:03 - 1 hour - 90.1 MBI could not get the job done alone...Avengers: Endgame was too much of an authentic cinematic experience to go through it alone, so I got some help from Toben Shelby of Space Money Octagon, Steven and Jude from The Geeky Juans Podcast, Sharmane "Mixed Girl Mane" from the BlerdComixed Podcast, Chris Osborne from the Play Comics Podcast, Scott Niswander from the NerdSync YouTube channel, Heather Terwilliger from the Primageek Blog, M.P.

Podcast 034: Disney Buys Fox!
May 06, 2019 10:44 - 47 minutes - 65.4 MBSure. At this point in time, Disney's acquisition of Fox isnt news anymore. But we still need to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of such a behemoth eating a goliath.
Podcast 033: Captain Marvel Unearthed
May 06, 2019 09:45 - 1 hour - 90.8 MB*An older episode from February 2019* I have to admit, I'm pretty impressed with the Captain Marvel solo movie. Similarly to how Black Panther didnt particularly lead directly into Avengers: Infinity War, Captain Marvel, set in 1995, doesnt necessarily lead into Avengers: Endgame at all, but it is a fun superhero science-fiction buddy cop joyride that doesn't cheat us on the thrills.
Podcast 032: The Coffee Table w/ Tyler Alexander
April 13, 2019 09:44 - 1 hour - 102 MBAnime. Hip-hop. Ghostbusters. Home Alone.

Podcast 031: Secret Characters -Unlocking the Value in Video Games
December 19, 2018 08:59 - 34 minutes - 53.4 MBHonestly, this is just a rant. But an important rant! GAMERS, hear me: I'm all about the old school. And I highly miss the days when you actually had to play video games in order to unlock the content of that video game, assuming the game had ALL of its content intact upon purchase! Like secret characters. NO after-the-fact DLC, NO gimmicky pre-order false-value presentations, and no spoilery guest character reveals on YouTube. But there's something deep to be brought to the surface here.....

December 12, 2018 09:44 - 47 minutes - 67 MBAnd old friend, podcaster, and guest character Brad Alexander joins the show to matriculate me on all things ALFRED HITCHCOCK.

May 07, 2018 07:22 - 50 minutes - 54.4 MBObviously, now I'm depressed.

Podcast 020--Justice Friends: Ragnarok
January 09, 2018 02:40 - 53 minutes - 60.8 MBEpisode 20 is ready for the New Year. As you might have gathered from the title, two of last year's most anticipated superhero films--Thor: Ragnarok and Justice League--are the focus of this episode. IS LOKI IMMORTAL? ARE DC VILLAINS SUCCEEDED WHERE MARVEL VILLAINS ARE NOT? IS JEFF GOLDBLUM THE FUNNIEST MAN ALIVE? It gets a little spoiler-y, so if you haven't seen either film, shame on you, and tread this episode softly.
