  • On this week's episode, Alex and Brandon chat about the inevitable.

    Alex and Brandon are back and better than ever and could not be more excited for this episode. Before they get to their main topic of conversation, the boys talk a little bit about what's been going on in their lives and give some spoiler-free thoughts on the first two episodes of the final season of Game of Thrones. Then they break down their thoughts, feelings, hopes, fears, and dreams about the most important cinematic achievement in history - Avengers: Endgame and the MCU (spoilers from 35:50-2:00:50). After completely unburdening themselves of all emotion and coming to terms with the end of the MCU as we know it, they move on to the smallest Fan Fic Fight ever featured on the show. Last but not least, they make some important announcements regarding the future of the podcast, so stay tuned to the end to find out what's coming next!

  • On this week's not-episode, Alex and Robyn continue chatting about life.

    Hey folks. I had given up on recording these Hot Take-filled episodes because the rate at which I watch shows and movies was much faster than I was able to record and upload these ramblings. But I recently watched a weird string of tangentially related cartoons that seemed mildly interesting enough to bust out the mic and put my thoughts out there. Then Robyn and a little surprise guest hop in for a Fan Fic Fight about rad dads.

Then they break down a handful of trailers, Nintendo's E3 presentation and deliver some piping Hot Takes on a whole bunch of movies and shows, including the very divisive blockbuster Solo: a Star Wars Story (spoilers from 2:44:51-2:51:50). With all of that taken care of, the boys get into this week’s feature topic and geek out about Avengers: Infinity War (spoilers from 2:55:26-3:41:15).

  • On this week's not-episode, Alex and Robyn chat about even more life.

    Hey folks. Again. Sadly, I still havn't been able to record another real episode of the podcast since last June. And as you'll hear right at the beginning of this quick(ish) update, this was recorded in January, but I'm just now getting to editing and uploading it, which is a testament to how busy my life has been. But, I still consue lots of media and still have lots of thoughts about it, and on the off chance somebody might find those thoughts interesting, I thought I would share them. So settle in for an hour of me talking to myself with more Hot Takes than I care to list out. Then at the end of the show, my lovely wife Robyn joins me for a Fan Fic Fight that manages to turn up the heat.

  • On this week's episode, Alex and Armando chat about going on holiday.

    Brandon is back in the throes of back to school craziness, so Alex managed to rope on a couple of suckers to take his place, namely Vincent and Armando. After some banter about work, apartments, and Pokémon GO, they finish off their second cycle of the ABC's of Geekdom by taking about a big yellow bird that doesn't live on Sesame Street.

After that, they move on to this week's Hot Takes, including War for the Planet of the Apes and Thomas and the Magic Railroad (and no Game of Thrones. Sorry!). With all of that covered, they move on to this week's feature topic, and since summer is rapidly coming to an end, they decide to take about the best vacations in movies and tv shows and why real life vacations pale in comparison. Then they wrap things up with an all new Fan Fic Fights that is positively shocking.

    While Alex was sailing the high seas with his new bride, Brandon took it upon himself to record an episode of the podcast with a couple of friends.

  • On this week's episode, Alex and Brandon chat about mawwiage.

    Alex was busy getting ready for his upcoming nuptials last weekend, so he got a crew together to record a special episode so as not to leave you without something to listen to.

For the first half of the show, they have a fun discussion about the best weddings in tv and movies.

  • On this week's episode, Alex and Brandon chat about who is Groot.

    Alex and Brandon actually managed to record two episodes two weeks in a row, somehow. After a bad nickname and a rocky start, things pick up when Brandon chooses this week's subject for the ABC's of Geekdom segment, this week focusing on ye olde educational computer game. Next, they cover some corrections, including Syracuse, Garrus, Funko, Naboo, the Force Unleashed, West World, Wonder Twins, Iron Fist, Jurassic Park, Prometheus, Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite, Alien vs. Predator, and the difference between watching and listening.

    Upon returning from the break, the boys discuss some trailers from the past week, including Dunkirk, The Dark Tower, Defenders, and Injustice 2 DLC character reveals. Then they cover some news, including the cancellation of Alien 5 and the new inductees to the National Video Game Hall of Fame. After that, Alex and Brandon both give some hot takes about what they've been watching, including Archer, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Lucifer, Legion, X-Men: Apocalypse, King of Kong: a Fistful of Quarters, Justice League Dark, How to be a Latin Lover, and a full-on review of Teen Titans: the Judas Contract (spoilers from around 1:50:36-1:58:43). Then comes the main event; Alex and Brandon give their thoughts on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (spoilers from around 1:58:43-2:57:45). The first one was good, but did they like the sequel better? The only way to find out is to listen! Then, as is custom, they wrap up the show with a 2 v. 2 round of Fan Fic Fights between two pairs of loveable space criminals.

    Last but not least, Alex announces his choice for the next community movie discussion and decided on Memento. This movie is trippy, so strap in for a crazy ride and then let us know what you thought before we talk about it in two weeks.

  • On this week's episode, Alex and Brandon chat about Xenomorphs vs. Yautja.

    After a long and unexpected break, Alex and Brandon have found time to get back to doing what they do best; talk for a long time about meaningless stuff. The start by recapping their lives over the past few weeks, then move on to unboxing the most recent Marvel and Star Wars boxes from Funko. Then Alex chooses the subject for the ABC's of Geekdom segment, and the boys take a deep dove into the history of a planet in a galaxy far away. After that, they cover corrections from the previous show, including the Zelda escape room game, Mycroft Holmes in the 22nd century, Finn the Human's last name, Harry Potter release dates (again), Ermac's origin, Land Before Time, Call of Duty, tv show spin offs of movies, Russell Crowe, Cara Delevigne, the Wonder Twins, Iron Fist, Perfect Blue, and Johnny Cage.

    After the break, they go over some trailers, including the Last Jedi, Thor: Ragnarok, a new prologue movie for Alien Covenant, Atomic Blonde, Kingsman: the Golden Circle, Cloak and Dagger, the Mist, Injustice 2, and Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite. Then Alex runs down some hot takes, including Rick and Morty, Skylanders Academy, Death Note, Ash vs. Evil Dead, Preacher, Hell or High Water, and Mulholland Drive. Then, finally, Alex and Brandon have their long-awaited discussion about the controversial movie Alien vs. Predator (spoilers from around 2:30:54-2:55:44). You know they love it, but the only way to find out how much they love it is to listen to their nerd-fueled dissection of it. Last but not least, they close things out with an all-new Fan Fic Fights between masters of teleportation.

With all of the covered, Alex continues with the new Hot Takes segment with some rapid fire thoughts on Veep, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Perfect Blue, and Akira. Then, because they're pressed for time, they jump right to the email segment and finish things up with an all new Fan Fic Fights that take the term Cage fight to a new level.
