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...

"I'M LOSING MY MIND..." Another week brings another round of news, some big, some small that eventually spin out into broader conversations. Either way, our favorite web-head finally has a new trailer, so it's time to lock in. 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...

"IT AMOUNTS TO A KIND OF... REBIRTH." It's been four weeks since we last covered any kind of news, and boy oh boy has everything happened since then.

"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. Anywho, tune in as Alec and Brian dive into the biggest pop culture rumblings, including Brainiac's casting, the trailers for DOOMSDAY and SPIDER-NOIR , Sony's latest State of Play, and everything in between!

NOTHING TO SEE HERE. THIS IS ALL MADE UP. Another two weeks apart, another news episode! As we wrap up the year and look to the next one, a lot has dropped in our laps.

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...

WHERE ARE WE? Oh hey, guys. A month goes by fast doesn't it? You know what doesn't go by fast? All the news we have to sift through. Oh boy oh boy.

"WHAT IS YOUR HEART FOR?" Thirty years ago today, a new anime premiered on television in Japan. One that seemed standard fare for the time, giant robots fighting giant monsters, etc. What no one really knew was that it would end up becoming one of the cornerstones of all of modern pop culture as we know it, one that's still analyzed to this day in its storytelling, themes, and artistry. Many peopl...

2008 ISN'T COMING BACK. A big growing sentiment in recent years has been the overall idea that Spider-Man as an IP is wrong nowadays and that whatever's going on currently is an invalid fad that doesn't matter and will fade away. We have thoughts on that. Tune in as Brian and Alec discuss recent news and the current state of the Web-Head -- and why he has changed drastically and permanently.

OR MAYBE NOT WE'LL PROBABLY DO MORE. It's been a year since our Phase 5 pitches. It's time to bring it all home... until we end up doing Phase 7 next year. Come join Brian and Alec as they return to Boulder Pitch with the third chapters of their takes on Post-Endgame MCU, PHASE 6!

So, tune in as Alec and Brian go over recent news from the past few weeks, including new Ghost of Yōtei gameplay, new trailers for...

"MAYBE THAT'S THE REAL PUNK ROCK." Well, guys, the promised day is here. After twelve years, numerous false starts, and the studio nearly washing its hands clean of the character altogether, we finally have a new movie about the man of tomorrow. James Gunn's first (let's be honest, genuine) foray into the new DCU has had a whole lot riding on it these past two and a half years since its announceme...
