I love this episode! Filmmakers Corey Landis and Roger Lay Jr. grew up, like many of us, with the iconic 80s cartoon and action figure 'He-Man'! This was our childhood! But then, not only did we grow up... but He-Man kind of disappeared from the cultural consciousness, replaced by Transformers, GI Joe and Ninja Turtles! What was the story behind He-Man anyways? He seemed to be the first of all of...

It's time to come to terms with this past weekend's 'Fantastic Four' film. Yes, it was exactly as the internet said it was, a tortured, uninspired presentation of Marvel's First Family. But is there light at the end of the tunnel? YES. We try and guide you back to a world of hope and positivity (two things that are VERY Fantastic Four) as we talk through the missteps and where things might go from...

This week's episode was recorded LIVE on the campus of Yale University at Explo 2015! Just what IS Explo?

E3 is behind us... and Kenny's here to help us sift through the aftermath! What won the show and what wasn't so great? Before we get into all that though, Adam Murray is here to let us know that 'Inside Out' is one of the best post-Wall-E Pixar films but his experience of going to see it was pretty traumatizing. We give our last words on the box office onslaught that is 'Jurassic World' and we tal...
