Happy holidays from Post-Weird! We're back this week to recap chapters 12-14 (S2, E4-6) of 'The Mandalorian.' As we near the end of this season, it's become clear that no show on TV quite understands its fanbase like this show - which makes it the best thing to watch right now. Then, we dive into the failure of the upcoming Grammy Awards. Is this failure new? No. But this year...

In this episode, we discuss some of our favorite music, movies, and TV shows of this year as a preview for our year-end Best of 2020 lists coming in a few weeks. This has been a difficult year, but there were a lot of good distractions for which we are thankful. Then, we do a quick Q&A about future Post-Weird topics, upcoming television binges, and the Christmas season as it pertains to music...

Happy Thanksgiving to all! This is the HBO Max special pod from Post-Weird. With the recent news that 'Wonder Woman 1984' will go directly to streaming on Christmas day, the same day it hits movie theaters, we discuss the bet that HBO Max and Warner Bros are making on the DCU. This move, together with the huge investment in 'Zack Snyder's Justice League' (Snyder Cut) means...

On this episode of Post-Weird, we're happy to have 'Star Wars' back in our lives! 'The Mandalorian' returns in excellent form to bring some light to the end of 2020. We discuss the first 3 episodes (chapters 9-11) of the 2nd season. Verdict: it's extremely good. Then, we talk about the PS5 launch and the ongoing Miles Morales star turn, the release status of 'Won...

The United States will have a new President on January 20, 2021! The Trump countdown is on. But this election told us something about this country: 70 million people liked (or were okay with) what happened over the past four years.  So how do we move forward from here? In this episode of Post-Weird, we have a wide-ranging discussion about what can be learned from this moment, including some though...

Spooky season is upon us! In this episode, we discuss our relationships with the horror genre, what makes a good Halloween movie, and then each countdown our 5 favorite Halloween movies in a wide-ranging conversation about what we like to see on screen in October.

First, we discuss our voting history and how we remember voting being discussed growing up, in high school, by our parents, and by celebrities - all of which we found lacking. Why is it so hard to discuss voting honestly and transparently? Find more information on voting here . Then, we briefly discuss the emotional balancing act demanded of Kamala Harris when on stage as a counter to Mike Pence....

This week on Post-Weird, we discuss the train-wreck that was the first 2020 presidential debate, who it's for (Are there really undecided voters?), and if there should even be a second one given the White House's disregard for COVID-19 protocols. Then, we talk about recent developments in the Spider-Verse including Marvel's push towards an expanded multiverse across not only the MCU...

This show exists because we wanted to speak about the never-ending cycle of despair and content, and how it shapes the way we see the world. With the grand jury verdict announcement that the cops that killed Breonna Taylor would be charged not for her murder, but for endangering the people next door, it was yet another reminder of how little this country values Black life. There is no way to separ...

It was a hell of a week. To start, we briefly discuss the i diocy of a Joe Rogan hosted debate while the U.S. stares into the depths of doom with the loss of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg . Why is it so hard for the media to dismiss ideas-as-car-crashes? Next, we get optimistic about the return of the saving grace of the 'Star Wars' universe, ' The Mandalorian .' And, the PS5 eve...

After recent comments by both John Boyega and Daisy Ridley about their roles in the franchise, we dive into why the disappointment of 'Star Wars' won't just go away, for the cast or the fans. Then, Will Smith returns to 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' as executive director of a modern-day, dramatic retelling of the classic sitcom. In our reboot driven culture, we try to pinp...
