For the second October episode of our continuing hero's journey, we're going to HELL with the JNCO jeans of superheroes: the 1997 live-action film adaptation of Todd McFarlane's Spawn! And while it's hard to hear ourselves think over John Leguizamo's incessant fart jokes, we still manage to talk clown-style bidets, the satisfaction of nanotechnology-based movie tech, what might cause a dog to go t...

For this first October episode of our continuing hero's journey, we don our facepaint, grab our electric guitar, and settle in to watch "a movie about a man who even the devil could not handle, because his gothicness was off the chart" (-fh147): the 1994 adaptation of James O'Barr's comic The Crow! And while the film may be generally lacking in crows (yes, that bird's actually a raven), it makes u...

This episode we trade in our purple Phantom suit for a nose prosthetic disguise, slam a couple of martinis, and take to the streets with Alec Baldwin in the 1994 film The Shadow! Along the way we celebrate the life and work of the great Tim Curry, speculate on the many missing pieces of Lamont Cranston's origin story, and even find time to fit in a quick safe sex PSA. Release the Phurba Cut! Want...

Hot on the jetpack-heated heels of last episode's Rocketeer, we SLAM into this next leg of the hero's journey in skintight purple as we explore the 1996 adaptation of one of comics' earliest heroes, The Phantom! Along the way we talk Beau's bisexual awakening, Brandon's face blindness, and the timeline where Kevin Smith got really buff in the 90's and built a wholesome manosphere. Want to support...

On our Patreon bonus episode this month, we squeezed in a little extra superhero action with the 1991 live-action adaption of Yoshiki Takaya's manga The Guyver! Watch along with us as we pose a series of questions, all mostly pertaining to Mark Hamill, such as: why is he in this garbage fire? Why is he chewing gum and smoking cigarettes at the same time? Why is his face on the poster of The Guyver...

Our adventures with comic book heroes continue, and this episode we're donning jet packs and blasting up into the zeppelin-filled skies to cover Disney's 1991 adaptation of Dave Stevens' comic The Rocketeer! Paul Sorvino followed us over from Dick Tracy, but we're too busy crushing on Timothy Dalton and Jennifer Connelly to really notice him- and let's not even talk about Billy Campbell's Cliff Se...

Over the next few months we're taking an extended look at comic book heroes, and since August is Brandon's birthday month, we're kicking things off with one of his favorite childhood films: Warren Beatty's 1990 adaptation of Dick Tracy! Join us as we dive into this vibrant world of bright primary colors, shadowy villains, and the trail of walnut shells and chewed scenery left in the wake of Al Pac...

This week Bond season comes to a close with one final conversation about his latest outing: IO Interactive's 2026 action-adventure game, 007 First Light! We traded in the Aston Martin for the Lotus Esprit submarine car so we could do a real deep dive here, so come along as we get into some extensive discussion about the gameplay systems, narrative themes, and everything in between, and along the w...

It's Bond round 2, and this time we've left the comic shop and are on the franchise's main turf over at the cinema with potentially the worst experience we could have there: 2002's Die Another Day! This 133 minutes of movie gave us much to consider during that time, such as: which did the writers misunderstand more, DNA or the NSA? How many sensual fig chews stand between a PG-13 sex scene, and a...

It's James Bond month! And on the way to our final mission of covering the game 007 First Light, we've made a couple of stops at some other lesser-known (and maybe less-respected) Bond adventures. This week: the graphic novels Vargr and Eidolon, collecting the first two arcs of Dynamite's James Bond by Warren Ellis and Jason Masters! We talk Warren Ellis' take on Bond (that is, when Beau isn't too...

Over on Patreon we took a week off of secret agent shenanigans to have a leisurely chat about some of our favorite things we've checked out so far this year! We each had a list but... now we can't seem to think about anything other than Darth Maul's double shaft (and we're not talking about lightsabers). Now if you'll excuse us, we need to go furiously meditate. Want to hear the full episode? Pay...

Secret agent season continues, and this week we're actually getting into 007! 2007, that is. We checked out two spy series pilots from that year, and now must decide: would we rather spend a madcap evening on prime time NBC, or settle into the La-Z-Boy for a long, slow evening on USA (cold showers welcome)? Along the way we offer baseless speculation about Bruce Campbell's origin story (a simple 3...

007 First Light is out, and we're playing it! (We're not done though, so that conversation is next month). In the meantime, we're getting in the spirit of secret agent season with the Disney Channel Original Problematic Premise, Agent Cody Banks! This one was certainly no Brink. And while Darrell Hammond and Keith David's performances may have aged like the fine cheese that they are, everything el...

Star Wars season comes to a close with a discussion of the 2002 Star Wars Legends novel Traitor by Matthew Stover! This story (and all SIX of its characters) spend a lot of time in some pretty morally gray regions between the dark and light sides, so expect plenty of philosophical musings- on everything from gardening, to monster guts, to THE GANNER. ...oh, and about the monster guts? Just make su...

It's May, and that means we're heading back to a galaxy far, far away and talking Star Wars all month! To kick off this year's festivities, we took a look at the first episodes of three different animated series (Clone Wars 2003, Clone Wars 2008, and Rebels), and asked ourselves some important questions, such as: Which show would be most enjoyable to source? Which one works best as a screensaver?...

Over on Patreon we broke out the dice and capped off zombie season by creating our own zombie apocalypse, as chosen by the whims of our D8! Join us as we wake up five years post-outbreak on a party boat off the coast of Myrtle Beach and attempt to escape the hordes of Thriller zombies on our way to Antarctica with a party of jocks and cheerleaders, a soundtrack packed with Yakety Sax, and one very...

After two months of zombie media, we're finally here with our discussion of the game that prompted this whole journey: Resident Evil Requiem! How do two longtime fans of the Resident Evil series feel about its latest installment? Did we laugh hysterically at all the Leon quips? Did we pee our pants during our first encounter with The Girl? And GAHHH THERE SO MANY BLISTER HEADS OH MY GOD WHY DIDN'T...

Resident Evil Requiem is out! But hey- what if, instead of talking about it, we discussed a Resident Evil movie from five years ago? Welcome to a little place called Raccoon City, where the characters are all wrong, the effects often look like generative AI, and there's more itchy tasty than you're gonna know what to do with. Along the way we pitch a literal viral marketing strategy, share some tr...

Resident Evil Requiem is about to drop, and we're getting hyped in some... questionable ways. And this week's way is S.D. Perry's 1998 novel Resident Evil: Caliban Cove! Join us as we reunite with fan-favorite characters Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield and Barry Burton, and then ditch them all almost immediately in favor of Karen, Steve, and... (audible sigh) John. But hey, Rebecca Chambers is stil...

Resident Evil 9 is on the way, and we're getting in the spirit of the zombie season by checking out a completely different franchise! Join us as we delve back into the Boll pit and continue our exploration of video game movies' most pugnacious director, this time with his 2003 adaptation of The House of the Dead! It's a movie so bad, even its own director seems to consider it an effective form of...

Over on Patreon we're kicking of our first episode of Resourced, wherein we revisit an IP we covered on a previous episode! And while patrons get to enjoy a lengthy discussion about the the CW Constantine series and its acting, effects, writing, themes, and comparison to the comics, here on the main feed you're stuck hearing about Skiffle and Jizz. Want to hear the full episode? Pay what you can a...

Happy New Year! We're ringing in 2026 with a recap of things we sourced in 2025- the good, the bad, and the Grande. So join us as we take a pop-punk trip down memory lane, make a whimsical turn out into the infinite cosmos, search and action around a little bit, expend our last remaining energy bowing before the greatness of a certain fantasy author, and somehow, manage to forget the second item o...

Happy Thanksgiving! In the spirit of the holiday, we're thanking you all for another year of support and dropping our latest Patreon bonus episode here on the main feed in full. If you enjoy our adventures with stake guns, suck jobs, and a surfboard full of guns, consider hopping over to our Patreon to get a full additional episode like this every month! But for now, have a hot loose coke from the...

Welcome to the third annual NoVampber! As usual, we're hanging out with vampires all month long, and kicking things off is our revisiting of a pretty notoriously bad vampire experience: 2004's Van Helsing! Join us as we discuss the journey of sunburnt Wolverine and his CG loincloth on their quest to accomplish... almost nothing, aside from severing Flesh Shrek's arm and creating openings for the t...

Halloween is next week, and we're getting prepared by continuing our exploration of witch media with 2013's Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters! As you might expect, we spend some time gushing about Gemma Arterton, even more time gushing about Peter Stormare, and even manage to fit in a revisit of the Jeremy Renner app, a contentious debate about Beauty and the Beast's Gaston, and a brief history o...
