Free Range Idiocy

The idiots take a break from all things Marvel and sci-fi to talk some music. Rather than the usual recommendation of a different bands, in honor of Taylor Hawkins, both albums will be from the Foo Fighters - 2002's One By One and 2011's Wasting Light.  Also... A trailer for Mando season 3 complete with release info, news on Picard season 3, our thoughts on Kenobi thus far, and could Jon Gruden wi...

Fresh off our first ever tie in The Real or The Jabroni, Uncle Todd has talked The Man They Call Tim into a double-or-nothing situation with our fan theory predictions for the new Obi-Wan Kenobi limited series premiering on Disney+ this Friday! Which theories will turn out to be true? Which ones won't happen under any circumstances? Most importantly, which idiot is going to take home TWO bottles o...

Now that we've managed to get out to the theaters to see the new Doctor Strange movie (and vent our frustrations about some Star Trek in our previous episode), we're ready to see how we did with our predictions of what would and what wouldn't happen in Multiverse of Madness. As always, these were based off fan theories The Man They Call Tim found on the interwebs that were quite possibly typed by...

That's right, we said it. We dive into the wreckage of what was a promising season of storytelling and figure out what went wrong along the way. Uncle Todd gets the chance to vent about his issues with the show, The Man They Call Tim attempts to throw in some bright spots, and we virtually guarantee that we will never be invited to a Trek convention for as long as we live. Enjoy! Also... We talk a...

The newest addition to the MCU arrived today in all of its mind-bending weirdness, and we're here to break down all the fan theories surround Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness for you before heading to the theater. Will there be mutants? Will there be celestials? Will Wong take America Chavez out for a cheeseburger and a heart to heart chat? Who knows, but we're putting our best guesses...

Can you believe we've managed to keep this schtick going for 100 episodes without getting banished from the interwebs, arrested, or kicked out of our homes? Neither can we! So we celebrated with a special episode where we talked about whatever the hell we wanted to, which means... you get another episode of Battlestar Galactica chatter. That's right, five episodes wasn't enough to contain our love...

After a March Madness bracket complete with 4 regions and 65 episodes, it all comes down to this - our favorite FOUR episodes of Battlestar Galactica. Which one will wind up being the bestest of them all for our humble idiots? Tune in. We hear they might even have... a plan! Also... we talk about the premier episode of Moon Knight, the possibility of Amy Pond returning to Doctor Who, and a few cho...

We are back with our fourth episode as we navigate through our Battlestar Galactica episode brackets, March Madness style. The tough choices continue for your humble idiotic hosts with lots of iconic episodes going up against emotional favorites. Who's going to come out on top and round out our Final Fours? Find out! Also... Uncle Todd has a bone about the size of Cleveland to pick with the NFL .....

Do you love Battlestar Galactica! Then have we got an episode for you! This is part 3 of our March Madness Battlestar Galactica Bracket as we try to determine which episode of the greatest sci-fi show to ever grace the airwaves is the best. Lots of tough choices and plenty of idiocy as well! Also, hear our reactions to the new Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer, how Uncle Todd might've been righter than usual...

We continue our quest to find our favorite episode from Battlestar Galactica in this episode, with the Chief Tyrol region of our 65-entry bracket. Lots of great episodes to choose from spanning all four seasons of the show and we're going to be making some more tough choices. Which will stand, which will fall? Find out! Also, we discuss the insanity of variable priced movie tickets right after the...

With March now here, it won't be long until brackets will flying willy-nilly around the world, all trying to predict who's going to win some basketball games. But let's be honest here... you're not here for ball, you came for some BSG! So all month long, we're going to be running down our brackets for which Battlestar Galactica episode is our favorite. There's going to be a lot of tough decisions...

Since we've been a little Star Wars heavy recently, we figured it was time to give equal time for equal geekery, so we're boldly going where we've never gone before AND getting an early jump on March Madness by tossing all the Star Trek movies into a bracket and seeing who comes out on top! And what better person to lend some expertise (as well as legitimacy) to our discussion than one of the host...

Before The Book Of Boba Fett premiered at the end of 2021, we scoured the interwebs for different fan theories about what would happen and ran them all down for you - the people - deciding which would be The Real (correct) and which would wind up as The Jabroni (not happening). As a special treat, we created a junior division with our kids to see how they'd fare as well. How did it all shake out?...

Well, it's the day we frankly didn't think would ever come - Tom Brady is calling it a career. So what are a couple of lapsed Patriots fans to do except to celebrate the man, break down his jaw-dropping stats, and look back at his career with our final installment of what we've come to call Bradygeddon. Want a little extra? Well, The Man They Call Tim has you covered with some talk about Chapter 6...

This time around, we go back to the well on our Movie Combo Platter (two movies that go together exceedingly well) and talk about the Sylvester Stallone - Carl Weathers tour de force(s), Rocky I and Rocky II. Luckily, we have some expertise on board with our special guest Mel Barrett to lend us a modicum of credibility. All of that plus a Week In Geek talking about chapter 5 of The Book Of Boba Fe...

Time for us to tackle some more music in our newest Album 1-on-1. If you don't know the drill, each idiot picks an album for the other to listen to and report back on. This time around, we talk about a pair of albums from 1983 - Synchronicity by The Police and Eliminator by ZZ Top. What will The Man They Call Tim think of the synth-heavy direction that little ol' band from Texas took? How is Uncle...

Once again, we're going to dive into that wretched pit of scum and villainy... Star Wars fans and their reactions to the first three chapters of The Book Of Boba Fett. We'll tell you what we think of the series so far, and give our rebuttal to all the naysayers, nonsensers, and the "Get Off My Lawn" crowd as well. All of that plus a Week In Geek talking about the originally planned Phase One Aveng...

In this idiocy-packed episode, we take a look at the sci-fi extravaganza known as Another Life, which is currently streaming on Netflix and stars everyone's favorite Viper jock, Katee Sackhoff. We go all the things we liked, what we didn't like, and what we really didn't like in order to give you ... da people ... our solid gold recommendation for the show.  All of that plus a Week In Geek coverin...

Since we've done roughly 132 episodes on fan theories in 2021, we tried to combine these to save everyone some time. So here you - our reactions to Spider-Man: No Way Home and The Matrix Resurrections along with who got more correct fan theory guesses. You can thank us later.  Oh, and more jibber-jabber about fantasy football along with some deep cut Star Wars trivia in The Week In Geek as well!  ...

For our last episode of 2021, we take on all the fan theories surrounding The Book Of Boba Fett that have been swirling around the interwebs, break 'em down, and let you know which ones are The Real and which ones are The Jabroni. This time around, we've dragged our children into the mix to get their opinions as well in our first ever Free Range Idiocy Junior Division. Why? Because we are absolute...

We take on all the weird theories and possibilities that a fourth Matrix movie provide. Who's saving who? What plots will thicken and which theories are just too thin for holding any weight? Join us once again as we employ our idiotic expertise to break it all down for you... the people... and share which theories we think are The Real and which ones are The Jabroni. All this and a sidetrack into...

This time around, Uncle Todd and The Man They Call Tim dive into all the fan theories swirling around the newest jewel in the MCU crown, Spider-Man: No Way Home. What's going to happen and what isn't? Who's gonna show up and who isn't? And most importantly... which of these idiots is going to have an edge to have bragging rights and a bottle of bourbon down the line? You can play the home game by...

If you've listened to any of our episodes before now, you probably saw this one coming... but we dove into Ghostbusters Afterlife feet-first and have lots to say about Jason Reitman's tribute to Harold Ramis, his father Ivan Reitman, a beloved movie from our childhood, and much more. Did we like it? Love it? Or are we jaunting off to Reno to elope with it? Find out!  All that with some talk about...

Once again, the idiots have issued their album 1-on-1 challenge - to listen through an album of the other's choosing and report back with their findings. Will it be another lovefest or will reality intrude? It's anyone's guess with a couple of lesser-known albums from big-name bands - Aerosmith's Nine Lives and No. 4 from Stone Temple Pilots.  All that with some talk about the latest Spider-Man: N...

So, how right and how wrong were we in predicting what fan theories would make their way into Eternals? Thanks to The Man They Call Tim's math skills, we're now able to find out. Check out what happened and who takes home the coveted bottle and bragging rights... but mostly the bottle. Also, fantasy football smack talk, our thoughts on Disney+ Day, and good-by to Brother Cavill.   LINKS OF INTERES...
