Episode 174 - Cocaine Bear w/The Duster & Tarantino
February 27, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 84.2 MBNaturally, for the craziest movie of the year so far, we had to get the craziest panel yet. Dom is joined by two of his oldest friends, Dustin "The Duster" Mason & Dontre "Tarantino" James to break down easily one of the most ridiculous ideas for a movie in a long time, one that stretches the "based on a true story" concept so far the term is practically meaningless at this point, and somehow the best thing that Elizabeth Banks has directed, Cocaine Bear. Based loosely on a 1985 story about ...
Episode 173 - Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania (w/Brandocritic)
February 21, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 86 MBWhat's going on guys, we're back with another week, which means we've got another podcast, which means another movie to watch. What's the movie? A Marvel movie...oh no. The fact that's the reaction that we have towards the MCU should make the writing on the wall pretty obvious, but the almost unbearable amount of negative reactions that came from the initial release of the third film in the Ant-Man trilogy, Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania were staggering to say the least. Scott Lang, in the ...
Episode 172 - You Season 4 (w/Ms. Filmingo)
February 13, 2023 10:00 - 50 minutes - 69.7 MBWe're 2 weeks into February, Superbowl Sunday is passed, it's almost time for Valentine's Day, so before the return of the MCU next week with Ant-Man, we decided to go over what some may view as a romance and what others will view as it should be, stalker porn, that being the latest Netflix viral sensation, You.

December 30, 2022 10:00 - 48 minutes - 66.2 MBHappy post holidays everyone! Only 2 days left of 2022, and since our recording schedule this holiday season has been a bit rocky, I'm doing something a little different this year. We will be doing a two part Season 4 finale, which is ironic because our midseason finale back in June also featured this guest for half and then Chris for the second part. We're releasing Babylon today with Nathaniel, and then Glass Onion which will feature Chris will be available tomorrow across all platforms. S...

November 29, 2022 10:00 - 51 minutes - 70.7 MBHappy Post-Thanksgiving everyone! Hope you all enjoyed your turkey day, as we begin the countdown to the end of the year!

Episode 159 - Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (w/Luk Reviews)
November 14, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 87.5 MBOh boy, here we go. This was always going to be a tough one for a variety of different reasons, the least which being Chadwick Boseman's tragic passing. But somehow, someway, with everything possibly going against them, Ryan Coogler and team pulled off a movie that should not have worked as well as it did. The truth is that Wakanda Forever might just be one of the best the year of 2022 has to offer. In the wake of T'Challa's death, Shuri, Ramonda, Okoye, M'Baku and rest of the world must pre...
Episode 158 - Weird: The Al Yankovic Story
November 07, 2022 05:18 - 47 minutes - 65.4 MBWell this is one that none of us were expecting. Chris & Dom sit down to break down the Roku Original, "Weird: The Al Yankovic Story" a fictionalized biopic of the titular parody musician who was made famous for making style pastiches of songs but changing the lyrics, usually in a polka fashion with his famous accordian.

Episode 156 - Black Adam (w/Unyolo Movie Blogs)
October 24, 2022 09:00 - 59 minutes - 81.8 MBLo & Behold, we actually have a DC movie worth talking about. After arguably the most tenuous year the company has ever had, being bounced around from AT&T to Discovery, to cutting half their planned content, to delaying more of their upcoming movies, to behind the scenes problems with stars, DC finally has a movie that we can safely say is a fun movie to watch, and that is "Black Adam." Starring Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson as the titular anti-hero, this movie sees him reawakened in the modern...

Talkin' Thrones Finale - The Iron Throne
October 14, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 92.7 MBWell, all things come to and end. We had a great run recapping every minute of this show, and it worked well, not only because we got a Game of Thrones prequel that coincided with the last couple episodes of this podcast, but also because it seems that fantasy storytelling is making a huge comeback across all mediums. Between the Witcher and the Sandman on Netflix, His Dark Materials on HBO, Dune in theaters along with the critically mixed reception of Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power o...
Episode 154 - Star Wars' Andor
October 10, 2022 09:00 - 55 minutes - 75.7 MBWell, lo and behold, we have a Star Wars show worth talking about again. It's been a rough year for one of our favorite franchises to say the least, with Book of Boba Fett & Obi-Wan Kenobi proving to be less than stellar, but things seem to be right again with the latest installment from Disney+ & Lucasfilm, "Andor." This prequel to a prequel follows the pursuits of Cassian Andor, played once again by Diego Luna, in the series of events that will lead to his inevitable death in Rogue One, as...
Talkin' Thrones Episode 72 - The Bells
October 07, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 100 MBWe've arrived.

The Long Night wrapped up the army of the dead, and then the Last of the Starks set up a seasons worth of conflict that then had to be resolved in 2 episodes. And we arrive at arguably the most problematic, hated and confusingly executed episodes in the show's histo...

September 30, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 106 MBWell we survived the Long Night (somehow), and are now onto the final three episodes of the show? Wait, I thought the dead were the end all, be all? There's more? Is the thought process that everyone had when the living were victorious at Winterfell in only the third episode of what was already the shortest season of the show. It's safe to say that if people weren't already aware the show was in trouble, they were with this episode, the Last of the Starks, which has the impossible task of le...

September 16, 2022 09:00 - 53 minutes - 73.6 MBWe're coming down to the wire with Season 8, Episode 2, "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms." Often cited as a lot of people's favorite episode of this season, it acts as a calm before the storm in a few senses.
