THE LORD GIVETH AND TAKETH. It's been a minute! Time for us to play catch-up! The past three weeks have been nothing short of crazy, exciting, and devastating, and it's time to go all-in. So, tune in as Alec and Brian look back at the biggest news so far this month, including New York Comic-Con, their thoughts so far on AVATAR: SEVEN HAVENS , recent rumblings in the games industry, and what's curr...

So, what do the boys think of it? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian discuss recent news (including Born Again Season 3, Star Wars Episode X , and the unforeseen Clone Saga show), as well as their spoiler-fill...

"SHE'S LIKE A PHOENIX, THAT WOMAN!" When Wolverine was first revealed five years ago, nobody could predict the tumultuous saga it would face in the coming years. Insomniac's reputation declining amidst dissatisfied fan reception to Spider-Man 2 , an unprecedented cyberattack resulting in hours of footage and an entire story outline leaked, pressure from no further updates for nearly two years, bei...

"ACTING IS THE SUM OF EVERYTHING YOU'VE EXPERIENCED." If you guys have been following us throughout the year, you know Brian's been trying to get Alec to watch Wonder Man for the past eight months. Because he didn't, the show got cancelled. Now he has worked to make amends by finally watching the eight episodes he was told were made for him . He was told the truth. He is sorry. So, tune in as Alec...

YAO MING ALMOST CRIED WHEN HE SAW THE STATE OF PLAYS. As we near the final quarter of 2026, video game news and releases are starting to heat up. Between all the games trying to launch without being impacted by GTAVI, and all the footage making its way from hacked hard drives to the internet, you'd think actual showcases would have more to, well, show. Oh well, we still got a few things to ramble...

"AND I'M TAKING IT BACK." Ever since My Adventures with Superman premiered three years ago, we at Boulder Punch have been undeniably hooked, with its second season especially being one of our favorite DC things in recent memory. The past two years waiting for Season 3 have been long, but now it's finally out! While there is plenty to love, including arguably the best episode of the entire show, th...

YAO MING ALMOST CRIED WHEN HE SAW THE CURRENT STATE OF X-MEN '97 . After two and a half years alongside a creative shakeup, the second season of X-MEN '97 is finally here! While the season's had its fair share of highs, it's also had some pretty dizzying lows -- so much that people are worrying for the future of the show. So, what did we think of it? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian go over r...

NOW WHAT? With Brand New Day dominating the box office, it's time to take a look at all the news we missed and see what's coming next. The view is more mixed than we'd like it to be, but it must be scoped out nonetheless. So, tune in as Alec and Brian go over all the biggest bits from the past two weeks, including Marvel's SDCC panel, the new LANTERNS trailer, the cancellation of WONDER MAN , and...

"I'M BOTH." Happy Spider-Man Day! After four and a half years of trial and error, creative differences, versions tossed in the trash, and so, so much waiting, the next chapter in Peter Parker's live-action saga has finally arrived! The film is garnering mass amounts of praise and unforeseen financial success for the webhead, but what do we think of it? Tune in to find out as Alec, Brian, and guest...

ONE LAST LOOK BEFORE THE DAWN BREAKS. Had a little hiatus again. Oopsie daisy! Time to recap.

SOON WE WILL OWN NOTHING! Last week capping off with the second season of a bad adaptation and a bad entry in a cinematic universe seemed to bode badly for this week. A lot of things have happened, and while some of it's good, most is, uhh... concerning. So, tune in as Alec and Brian dive through all the big pop culture stuff of the past week, including more on NATLA Season 2, SUPERGIRL and the DC...

WHAT DOES LOBO EVEN DO? After Superman got the DCU off to a (debatably) good start, many were excited to see where Kara Zor-El's first cinematic outing in forty years would take things next. Her film being adapted from a singular critically-acclaimed comic seemed to be the perfect recipe for a surefire hit. Unfortunately, both critically and commercially, that has not seemed to pass. So, what happ...

THE BRAVE AND THE DIRE. Oh boy, Alec and Brian had a main topic but got carried away with the news section! How exciting! Anyway, y'all know the drill. Tune in as Alec and Brian pre-game for their Supergirl discussion with big things from the past week, including the return of Elodie Yung as Elektra, MY ADVENTURES WITH GREEN LANTERN , the ABSOLUTE BATMAN animated series, and the long-dreaded NETFL...

"I'M LOSING MY MIND..." Another week brings another round of news, some big, some small that eventually spin out into broader conversations.

Tune in as Alec and Brian go over recent news, trailers, and thoughts, from the WB/Paramount merger, to Chris Evans returning in SECRET WARS , to Jessica Cruz in MY ADVENTUR...

BRING ON THE WILDERNESS YEARS PART TWO! We planned on talking about Mandalorian and Grogu this episode, but too much happened in the past week for us to condense. Game showcases, leaks, and the official (for-now) sunsetting of the longest-running sci-fi show of all time didn't really leave us with much room to talk about a vapid movie. So, tune in as Alec and Brian go over the biggest bits from th...

LET'S RECAP, SHALL WE? Alec is finally free from his two-year stint in grad school, and it's time to get back into the swing of things. So much has happened the past four weeks that it's enough to make our heads spin, but we will dive into it all nonetheless. So, tune in as Alec and Brian ring in the summer by going all in on the biggest bits from the past month, including the DEVIL MAY CRY series...

"BOO!" After the lukewarm to positive reception of its messier first season, the Man Without Fear's newest season left many hoping for something tighter, more focused, and closer in quality to its Netflix predecessor. What resulted was what many consider to be a massive step up that brings this new era to a head, while still struggling with some growing pains. So, what do we think? Tune in to find...

WE HAVE OUR JOY BACK. Been a bit! In the time we've been gone, a whole lot's happened. Some good, some bad, some giving us the joy we've awaited so long. Let's dig in.

Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian talk all the news from the past few weeks, including new looks at AVATAR: AANG - THE...

"I'M GONNA SIT RIGHT HERE WITH YOU..." After the emotional and shocking ending of Resident Evil Village , many wondered where the franchise would go next, even more so who it would revolve around. What many did not expect was a pivot back to Raccoon City and the T-Virus through the eyes of newcomer Grace Ashcroft and veteran Leon Kennedy. This entry -- celebrating the series' 30th anniversary -- h...

IT STARTS WITH "SORRY." Last November, the four of us gathered around to watch both seasons of one of the most popular adult animated shows currently running. We did not like it. We meant to talk about how we did not like it for the past three months. Also, Evangelion is back. Nothing works out the way you want it to, huh? Oh, well. Tune in as Alec, Brian, Darby, and Trey talk Yoko Taro's new NEON...

DID YOU MISS US? The boys are back from their longest hiatus yet, and are now tasked with covering two months' worth of news in a reasonable amount of time. God help them.

So, tune in as Alec and Brian look back on the biggest December news, including SUPERGIRL...

HONOR DIED ON THE GINGKO TREE. After over five years of waiting -- and the most obvious headache-inducing reactionary grifting -- Sucker Punch's sequel to Ghost of Tsushima has finally released. Atsu's tale of revenge has garnered mass amounts of praise for its characters, gameplay, and open world, but what do we think of it? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian discuss recent news from the past...
