Asteroid G Podcasts

We're talking Star Wars with a couple of Star Wars fans in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. We have Extended Universe fan JShydell on the 'cast, alongside Jedi fangirl (and wife of one of the Mikes), Bex, here to talk all things Star Wars. Come in and join!

We're talking the series premiere for Alien: Earth in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Going in for only the first two episodes (as the series hasn't finished it's season run yet), we take a look and see just how much this new show nails when it comes to Alien, and if there's hope the franchise is finally in the right hands...

We're talking new films and the lack of origin stories in a special Mini-Episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Both Fantastic Four: First Steps and Superman lacked proper origin stories, dropping us deep into the action and forcing us to adapt. Was it the right decision? We discuss...

We're talking the continued struggles of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Fantastic Four: First Steps failed to meet expectations at the Box Office, just like Thunderbolts* before it, and Captain America: Brave New World before that. Is this indicative of a trend? We think so, but come hear more about it...

We're talking Fantastic Four: First Steps in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Since anyone that wanted to see the film likely has by now, we get into the nitty gritty -- the plot, the action, the characters, the spoilers -- to really see what worked and what didn't. Mostly it didn't.

We're talking 2022's The Batman in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. One Mike didn't like the film, the other Mike loved it, so we watched the film again to see who was right and who was wrong. It's a battle for Gotham you won't want to miss!

We're talking Domino's Pizza in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Having heard that the Domino's of today is far better than it was twenty years ago (when either host was last willing to eat their food), the two Mikes give the pizza chain a second chance. The results were mixed...

We're talking Predator: Killer of Killers in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. This animated film from the mind of series lead Dan Trachtenberg gives us three heroes in three time periods taking on the Predators, and it's awesome. We discuss it all...

We're talking the new DCU Superman film in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. James Gunn just released the first film of the new DCU, and the two Mikes have thoughts. Come on in...

We're talking the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, and most specifically the Curse of the Black Pearl, in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. We made an effort to watch through the whole series of five films to discuss them, but got stymied but the considerable decrease in quality from one film to the next. The details might shiver your timbers...

We're talking the dining out in Charleston, WV, in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. After recently hosting the FFR Rando Marathon: Summer 2025 Live! in Charleston, the two Mike's discuss the places they ate, and where was worth going back, when the next event comes around...

We're talking the Terminator, and James Cameron's desire to make another film in the franchise, in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Cameron has the rights to his films, and far be it from us to argue with the billion dollar-making director, but do we really need another one of these so soon? We discuss...

We're talking Hardee's (aka Carl's Jr.) and their Duke's Gold Chicken Sandwich in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. The two Mikes hit their local Hardee's to see how the restaurants fare, both with this chicken sandwich and in general. The results might surprise you since they totally surprised us...

We're talking Thunderbolts*, Marvel's Phase V-ending crossover hero event, in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. This is probably the first good, true Marvel film we've had in years, but is it good enough to save the MCU? We discuss...

We're talking The Fly, the 1986 body horror masterpiece, in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Created by David Cronenberg, this film not only improves on the 1950s original, but is just a damn fine piece of horror cinema. We discuss it, and a lot more.

We're talking Arby's Quarter Pound Brisket Sandwich in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Done as a collaboration between Arby's and AC Barbeque, the sandwich was utterly disappointing, but the sauce... well... come in to find out.

We're talking Sinners, Ryan Coogler's 2025 Southern Black vampire film, in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Sinners came out a couple of months ago to rave reviews, and there's good reason for it too: the movie is incredible. We discuss it in detail...

We're talking the 2025 Wolf Man films in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Universal desperately wants to kick start their Monsters line for a modern era. This film is absolutely not the way to do it...

We're talking the Rambo films in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Sylvester Stallone had a winner with the first first Rambo film, First Blood, but every film since has managed to lose more and more of what made the character interesting...

We're talking Highlander 1 & 2 in a special Mini-Episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. These movies have a great concept but, between them, can't manage to tell a coherent narrative. And it only gets worse as the film series goes on.

We're talking the Amazon purchase of James Bond in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. EON Productions got paid a lot of money and now Amazon controls the 007 franchise. What does this mean for new movies, shows, and much more? We discuss...

We're talking the 1998 film Rounders in a special Mini-Episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. This fantastic movie came out nearly 30 years ago, and since both of us on the 'cast are fans, we wanted to talk about it for a bit. It's a great movie. Go watch it.

We're talking The Monkey in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. The new adaptation of a Stephen King work takes a number of big swerves from the source material, and from expectations, and we take a look at if it actually works (or not).

We're talking the two Nintendo Direct presentations to showcase the Nintendo Switch in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Nintendo showed off a lot of features, and a lot of games, but the biggest thing about the console may be its downfall: it's price. We discuss it all.

We're talking casting for Avengers: Doomsday in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Marvel released their cast list in the weirdest way possible, via a long video of empty chairs. But with list in hand we look at who is confirmed for the film, who isn't, and try to decide if we even care.
