McSoss Podcast

This is a preview of this week's exclusive Patreon episode. This week Paul and Ian discuss the 4th and final season of Netflix Castlevania. 

This week we review Black Widow. Did we find it a glorious return to the theater or a bust? Also, we examine what film franchises are still considered A-tier. Spoiler alert: there aren't many. See if we missed any and let us know on social media!

This week Paul and Ian discuss the HBO series "Mare of Easttown". As I'm sure you can expect, we have a lot of good PA accent work in this episode!

By the power of McSoss... You've all had a chance to revisit Eternia in Netflix's Masters of the Universe: Revelation. So have we! And this week, we review part 1 of the first season. Was it worth the wait to revisit on of our favorite IPs of all time? Or is this series all wet?

This week we examine movie sequels! But not just any sequels. We are looking at the ones that can be identified as franchise killers. Movies that signaled the beginning of the end (or just the end) of film series! Did you think of the same films as us that spelled the end of beloved film series?

This week we examine the full Masters of the Universe: Revelation trailer. We also discuss some of the social media blow back. Is it justified or is it fanboys being fanboys? Also, we give a McSoss summer check in with an update on our summertime, air-conditioned TV/movie watching agenda. 

McSoss returns to the movies this week!  We discuss (and gauge our excitement for) the new trailers for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Halloween Kills. And then we go in the McSoss time machine to summers of years past to look at how summer movies affected our formative years.

After a short hiatus, McSoss is back! This week we give our thoughts on the Disney+ show, Loki. We also celebrate He-Man's return by discussing the new Masters of the Universe: Revelation trailer. And finally, McSoss is provided a revelation of our own by opening a fan-submitted mystery box. You DO NOT want to miss it!

This week, we take a look at the new Eternals trailer from Marvel. Then we shift to the essential topic of branding. What brands do we love? Which brands do we irrationally dislike? Why do we feel this way?

This week, we take a look at Marvel Studios' recently released sizzle reel of Marvel Celebrates the Movies. Did this clip move our needle in anticipation of the upcoming slate of Marvel films?

Is there anything that would get us to be r...

This week, we take a look at the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Minicomic Collection that Paul recently finished. Then we review the entire Disney+ series, Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Was it a worthy successor to WandaVision or are these characters better left on ice? And for round three of this extended episode, we review the new HBO Max film, Mortal Kombat. Find out if we thought it w...

This week we dig into our favorite devices. What do we use the most? What do we wish we had? What do we hate? Find out this week with a healthy heaping of device-talk! Not to be outdone, we serve up a charcuterie platter of delicious meat-talk! If you love gadgets and meat, there has never been a more perfect episode for you!

On a very special episode of McSoss this week, we take a look at the concept of separating the art from the artist. Sometimes the creator of something that we cherish turns out to be not such a great person. How do we reconcile that? Don't worry, this episode is still a lot of fun and we even get into discussing our reaction to Kong Vs. Godzilla.

This week we review the first two episodes of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. Then we take a look at the softly-rebooted The Suicide Squad trailer. Then we cap off the episode by scratching the surface on what the future of comic books could look like based on some of the rumors of DC licensing out their comics line.

After years and years of rumors and speculation, Zack Snyder's Justice League has finally been released. Not only did this mythical movie really exist, it was exceptionally different from the theatrical version we got in 2017. This week, we provide our thoughts and reviews on this ambitious, epic film.

This week we take a deep dive (well, more like the deep end of the swimming pool) on fantasy. You've always been curious to learn about this intimidating medium but were always afraid to accept the quest. Have no fear, timid listener, as McSoss has arrived to help explain things and put into perspective how your favorite fantasy (i.e. Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, etc.) fits in...

Now that we've had some time to sit with the series finale of WandaVision, Marvel's most experimental offering from the MCU, we reflect on that episode. Find out what are thoughts were on the series as a whole and why the finale needed more suitcase fighting!

This week discuss the penultimate episode of WandaVision. Is the show holding up to the unexpected whimsy of the early episodes or are we growing weary of the formula? Also, we give you a double-dose of He-Man (and who doesn't want that?) as we examine the newly released music and toys for the upcoming Masters of the Universe Revelation.

This week we return to West View as we review episode 7 of WandaVision. Also, Amazon Prime's Invincible got a new trailer and release date. What do we think of it? Lastly, we round out the episode with a bit of Star Wars talk as we compare characters introduced int he middle movie of each of the three trilogies.

Plus, we catch up on WandaVision with the Maximov Minute™. And not to be outdone, Rian Johnson has inserted himself back in Star Wars headlines, insisting that his long-dormant Star Wars trilogy is still happening.
