Guys Of A Certain Age

It’s a very special episode - roll The Guys Broadcasting System Special Presentation clip now!   This week, The Guys play Start One, Bench One, Cut One with three Christmas classic sweets: egg nog, fruitcake, and candy canes.  Answers may be controversial, but nobody goes home hungry.  And it’s a good thing this is a positive segment, because there are two obits in Geeks of the Week: from Sesame S...

This week's episode is a bit trippy, with Robbie returning from Vegas and Jay calling in from the road.   Geeks of the Week include a return to old-school Daleks, a DC actor who may return to the screen as a new character, another who may not return at all, and a long-time airport resident who returned to the terminal before making a final departure.   After Jay pulls a disappearing act, Robbie an...

"It’s the Holiday Season (echo), and whoop-de-do, and Dippin’ Dots, and boy, The Guys have seen so many turns of the clock."  Isn’t that how the song goes?  And how’s that for an ear worm?  But as happens so many times with The Guys - this episode being no exception, and perhaps the greatest example ever - we digress.   With the holiday season come holiday specials, and at long last the Guardians...

The post-Thanksgiving, tardy, late episode is ready to tickle your ivories. Two of the Guys return to Middle-earth to take a look at Amazon's Rings of Power. Was it worth all the money Jeff spent? Robbie and Art weigh in on this series that takes place long before the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy but still features some familiar names.  Our Geeks this week include a look at the latest...

Sometimes The Guys have to really reach to come up with Geeks of the Week (see Jay reaching back to 1990’s Popular Science issues or announcing new movies advertised on ancient Netflix DVD’s).  Other times, there’s so many to choose from it’s hard to pick just one.  This week’s episode is all geeks, and we’re not just talking about The Guys.  The ever-popular-in-Bavaria Geeks of the Week segment t...

The event hung in the balance for weeks, uncertainty abounding, Art and Jay wondering if Robbie would go with them to a non-Batman DC movie (in the theater, no less), and they finally got their answer: he would see Black Adam with.   Only Jay came in full cosplay, muscles rippling (or were those love handles of a certain age?), but they all saw the movie together, except for those few minutes when...

Current Hulk-tor Mark Ruffalo recently referred to the role as “our generation’s Hamlet…everyone’s going to get a shot at it.”  And in this episode, The Guys celebrate (spoiler alert: they like it) the most recent member of the club: She-Hulk, with Tatiana Maslany.  Fun cameos, future tie-ins, fan service, fourth wall, funny dialogue, and a few fights for good measure - this Marvel limited series...

Jay's out attending what seems to be a ComicCon for Food, so Robbie and Art take a look at DC Film's new idea in spoilers, INTENTIONALLY leaking them. Is it a marketing ploy? Is it laziness? Is it just easier to concede? Are Tom Holland and Mark Ruffalo encouraging Marvel to do the same? Tune in and hear Robbie and Art (SPOILER) voice their opinions on the topic. In Geeks of the Week, the Guys tal...

It’s official!  Sort of.  Rolling Stone magazine gathered an elite committee of opinionated people in the TV industry for the purpose of naming and ranking the Top 100 TV shows of all time.   The Guys were not invited.   But that doesn’t mean The Committee was right about everything, and it certainly doesn’t mean The Guys don’t have valuable opinions on such matters.  And WHAT they really want to...

It’s February 1, 2019.  Three Guys of a Certain Age release Episode One of a podcast dreamed up over a meat and three lunch a few weeks before.  They had no audience, no sponsors, no idea how long it would last.   Fast forward to October, 2022.  That’s over three and a half years, and The Guys can’t believe it either.  Still no sponsor…but this time there was an audience to celebrate the recording...

This episode is full of deep questions.  The Guys are the ones answering said questions, however, so deep answers may be in short supply.   The issue before them?  When it comes to the genres most discussed on this podcast - superheroes, Star fill-in-the-blank, perhaps a Middle Earth adventure - do they shine more brightly on the movie screen or the CRT (or whatever small screen one might currentl...

This is the one For All Guy-Kind.  It began with a recommendation from Robbie - “Are y’all watching For All Mankind on AppleTV+?”  Art soon started watching, and finally Jay embraced his NASA roots and began the binging.  Just think (spoiler ahead): if Jay’s dad had stayed at NASA, maybe Jay’s wedding would have been on Mars. Maybe not, but For All Mankind definitely stirred the imagination and ea...

Robbie is missing in action this week, but never fear, Art and Jay are here!  And it’s a big week, indeed.  D23 2022 is in the books, and lots of announcements were made, leaving The Guys to ruminate over some of the shows they’re looking forward to, and perhaps a few that bring a little less enthusiasm.  But in the words of Art, “At least it’s not another deathwatch…”  Since most of the announced...

The Queen is dead. Long live the King.  With the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, the Guys take another look at their favorite shows from across the pond. Will there be a new top show crowned? "Who" will it be?   It's a right corker, and despite what you reckon, there may be some surprises, guv'ner. Geeks of the Week include Art taking a rare look at a Fantastic Marvel comic book, Jay with some Batf...

Join The Guys for a live podcast taping October 6 at 7PM at dave's Dark Horse Tavern on Highway 182 in Starkville.     Answer all your burning questions.  Is Jay taller than Art?  Will Art have a beard?  Will Robbie stay on his phone for the entire taping?  Will mars. Reed show?   Being there is the only way to know for sure!

In this episode, Art and Robbie discuss the Paramount Plus limited series, The Offer. Though typically the Guys talk about superheroes, sci-fi, and fantasy, this look at the bizarre behind-the-scenes story of what it took to get the movie The Godfather made proves that real life can sometimes indeed be stranger than fiction.   Geeks of the Week include the latest news from DC's Flash movie, the Ga...

Brace yourselves, listeners, because The Guys are breaking new topical ground in this episode: all about streaming services!   What, that’s not a new topic?  Well, it may soon be with all the chatter about WarnerMax or DC-very+ or HBOMin, or whatever name they come up with to air the new DC movies and limited series television.   Oh wait, they’ve cancelled all that?!  Hmmm.  Maybe it’s a good time...

Netflix keeps on giving, despite their numbers, and with The Sandman series now available, they may be able to keep the dreaming alive.  Art wakes up from his antihistamine-induced nap to join The (other) Guys by phone to chat about this adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s classic graphic novel.  Are the portrayals of the TV characters true to the comics?  Will there be more tales told in a second season,...

Another Marvel limited series has finished its initial run, and you know what that means: The Guys didn’t have to scramble for a topic.   Kamala Khan was introduced to the MCU - that’s Ms Marvel to you - and brought a unique cast of characters, culture, and colorful chaos to the universe - not to mention the cameo.  The Guys explore everything from powers to partitions in this fresh origin story....

By the time Robbie got to Phoenix, [North Carolina Jay] Art and Jay were cruising.  Were they in a 1979 Celica, driving back and forth from Sonic to McDonald’s?  Not exactly.  B ut they were in the studio talking about a top vacation choice for many guys of a certain age: a cruise.  Jay didn’t have a pony to ride upon his boat, but he did just return from an Alaskan cruise, and aside from a little...

With Jay off enjoying cooler temps on an Alaskan cruise, it's up to Robbie and Art to helm this episode about yet another voyage of the Starship Enterprise. The 2 Guys have a whole captain's log of thoughts on Strang New Worlds, the latest Star Trek series from Paramount Plus which tells the story of pre-Kirk Captain Christopher Pike and a crew with some familiar characters.  Before they "engage"...

In this episode, the Guys are back together in the studio to hammer out their review of Thor: Love and Thunder. Spoiler alert, though the movie takes a swing at recapturing the magic of Ragnarok, they needed a better handle on the over-the-top comedy to truly nail it. Geeks of the Week include: Art (aka Love) talking about rumors of Henry Cavill reprising his Superman role, Jay (aka Thunder) hinti...

Rumor has it, the Wives of a Certain Age have told The Guys to “Go outside…and while you’re out there, cook dinner.” Since that’s where the grills are, that’s okay. (If only it wasn’t the dead of summer in the south.) To make sure everything is up to snuff, they brought in a grilling expert. Wes Shelton is not just a seller of all things involving outdoor kitchens, he knows how to use it all, and...

Elvis had left the building…but he’s back!  With Baz Luhrmann’s movie in theaters, the King of Rock and Roll is in the limelight once again.  Robbie is out this week, but Art and Jay talk the movie, the music, the actors, and the cinematography.   But believe it or not, Art did NOT sing a Presley hit.  To make up for that, they brought in a special guest - someone who actually saw Elvis in concert...

Obi-wan, obi two, obi wan, two, three… and welcome to Guys of a Certain Age, the Anakin Episode!     Excitement has been building for months as everyone waited for the Obi Wan Kenobi limited series to begin, and now the Guys are already looking back and doing a recap. Was it worth the wait?  Was it critical to the canon, or just a diversion?  In fact, is it possible the Star Wars fan base is a bit...
