Two Idiots and a Dog

Have you ever seen something in a piece of media that if you think about it for more than two seconds makes no bloody sense? Well this episode is for you! We discuss some of our favorite things that just make no sense in any realistic context, and pull no punches at even attacking some of our favorite franchise, so stand back because the Idiots are about to be Unleashed. Be sure to check out our f...

Zolgar gets serious for a moment to discuss George Takei's They Called Us Enemy. George Takei tells the story of his time in the Japanese Internment camps that were scattered across the US from 1942 to 1946 following the attack on Pearl Harbor. He tells it with his recollection of his childhood innocence and wonder, seeing what happened as an adventure, juxtaposed with his adult understanding of j...

You ever hear of this little film from the early 90s, Jurassic Park? Didn't think so. We're gonna talk about it with our friend Nyx (they/them) though. Released in 1993 and starring one hell of an animatronic T-Rex, guys in amazing velociraptor puppet suits... oh yeah and Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum, Jurassic Park pushed the envelope of what was possible for movies at the time so much...

This week, Zolgar talks about Dragon Child, an indie book written and illustrated by Katie Shaw. I'm back! A dental emergency put me out of commission for a week so I wasn't able to get an episode recorded, and I don't have a buffer of these ready to go. I should fix that. Anyways, this week I'm talking about Dragon Child, by Katie Shaw. A hidden world fantasy story focused on The Dragon Child, wh...

Join Grimm and Zolgar in a special Pride month topic; queer representation in media. They talk about some of the harmful tropes and stereotypes that have plagued the entertainment industry for decades, but they also discuss some of the properties that have done it well over the years, and how important it is to remember the properties that had to crawl so modern media could run. They talk about ho...

We've done it. 6 months of Two Idiots and a Dog, we've completed our season 1 production schedule. We're just as surprised as you are. This week, The Meg. Released in 2018 and starring Jason Statham, Bingbing Li, Cliff Curtis, Page Kennedy, Ruby Rose, and a big-ass CGI shark. This film is a worthy successor to the shark movie throne, a lot of obvious inspiration from Jaws and others that came befo...

This week, the second annual DC Pride collection. Only fitting that I went ahead and covered this for Pride month. I don't typically read DC superhero titles, but I wanted to get this one, if for no other reason than the Kevin Conroy story. Support your local comic book shop and pick up a copy! Credits for the entire team: https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/DC_Pride_2022_Vol_1_1 Be sure to check out FTO:...

Whoof. This episode is going to ruffle some feathers. In "You Missed The Point." we discuss media properties that a portion of the fandom took the wrong message away, idolized the wrong characters, or otherwise just missed the actual point. Some of the properties we bring up? Judge Dredd, Joker, Watchmen, Punisher, Breaking Bad, Akira, and more. We could easily do this again, so if you like this e...

The Idiots talk about 1999's The Mummy, which was responsible for about 80% of queer millennials realizing they were queer. Released in 1999, and starring Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weiss and Arnold Vosloo, along with an excellent supporting cast, The Mummy is a great pulp action adventure film which has withstood the test of time, and is packed with some serious eye candy for almost all sexualities....

Zolgar reviews The Sandman, Volume 1. Originally released in 1988 under DC's Vertigo label, written by the made genius Neil Gaiman, with art from a talented team, The Sandman has cemented its place in comic history. Along with The Watchmen it's one of the early books in the so-called 'Modern Age' of comics, also sometimes called the 'Dark Age' for the prevalence of dark, gritty, serious stories. D...

By order of the Emperor this podcast is to be purged for heresy! Our friend and fellow heretic AthanMortis decided he wanted us to talk about Warhammer 40k so much he would pay us to do it. So, here you go Athan, not only did you ask for this, but you paid for it. What is wrong with you? In this episode we discuss the various factions of Warhammer 40k and why the setting is so bloody ridiculous. A...

The Idiots discuss one of the most iconic post apocalypse films in history, Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior. Released in 1981, starring Mel Gibson, Vernon Wells, Bruce Spence, and Kjell Nilsson, this high-octane action movie was released in the US as The Road Warrior, to avoid association with the theatrical flop that was Mad Max. The Road Warrior was much better received, and in the decades since bot...

This was a fun topic, though we do get a little more negative about media than we usually do in this episode. Most of the films we discuss are ones that really potential and often even decent elements they just absolutely flubbed the execution. Though there are a couple of exceptions that were just, frankly, terrible. Zolgar's list: Pacific Rim: Uprising Alien: Covenant Tremors: Shrieker Island Te...

The Idiots discuss one of the best zombie comedies ever made. Just a quick heads up, we experienced a bit of an audio issue with this episode. We would like to apologize for the popping. Released in 2009, starring Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, Woody Harrelson and Abigail Breslin; Zombieland is a ridiculous romp through the zombie apocalypse, with solid special effects, good acting, and a story of m...

The first episode of an experiment from Zolgar. Mostly an excuse to actually take the time to read his ever growing TBR pile of comics. This episode, he covers Black: Volume 1, from Black Mask Studios. An excellent superhero origin story in a world where the consequences of superpowers are much different than they are in most stories.

It had to happen. A Star Wars episode. The Idiots discuss the "plot holes" of Star Wars. Our friend Delinquent Behavior on Discord suggested we talk about plot holes in Star Wars.

The Idiots take on District 9. Released in 2009 and starring Sharlto Copley, David James, and Nathalie Boltt, Neill Blomkamp's feature film debut is brutal and sometimes hard to watch, with a story about the evils of racism and racial exploitation packed in to a well written, visually impressive sci-fi story with some bloody and brilliant action scenes.

The Idiots talk nonsensical weapons. Warning: Idiots Unleashed is an uncensored podcast and contains adult language. In this first episode of Idiots Unleashed, the Idiots discuss some of the stupidest weapons they've ever seen used in media, mostly movies and video games.

Join the Idiots as they discuss one of the classics of Anime, a film responsible for introducing many Americans to the idea that maybe animated stuff wasn't just for kids. Akira.

This week, join the Idiots as they discuss Hellboy and make fun of Nazis. Released in 2004 and starring Ron Perlman, Doug Jones, Selma Blair and, John Hurt, plus an excellent supporting cast, and astounding visuals.
