Tales of the Jedi stirred our Star Wars-loving hearts! Half the series wowed us, while the other half left us... lukewarm.

Black Panther 2 impressed us... mostly. Joe especially had some bones to pick though. Later: Ryan and Joe rank Marvel's downward spiral-- er, we mean Phase 4!

Joe's never played Halo. Can Ryan convince him to give the series a try? We'll tell you up front: Joe's arbitrary brand loyalties, and general snobbishness make Ryan's job harder than usual.

Stop me if you've heard this one: She-Hulk is a bad show. We're not hiding that we didn't like it. But stick around to hear some defenses of the series as well. That I'm sure you didn't expect!

We're late to review S5 of Cobra Kai (so we failed to strike first), and we love it (so we failed to strike hard or show no mercy). We'd be terrible students of Cobra Kai but we're avid watchers of their ever-increasing lunacy. Join us on Close Up as we review one of streaming's best shows.

The Karate Kid Parts 2 and 3 get a bad rap. But Ryan and I are fans, and think they deserve a good defense. Can we change your mind on these underrated films?

Light and Magic nearly made Ryan and Joe switch careers. The wizards in this documentary created almost everything we (and maybe you) love. But not enough people talk about it, so we've got to pick up the internet's slack.

Batman is one of the most over-exposed characters in pop culture history. Ryan and Joe are fed up with the Caped Crusader stealing the spotlight over his equally-compelling counterparts!
