We enjoyed our talk with Flint so much, we decided to add a few more minutes for you fans who might be interested in his extensive NFL knowledge. Listen for his take on the some of the greatest players of all time, and which Transformers he equated them with while writing Transformers: The Movie .

The Gents get in the holiday spirit with their take on George C. Scott’s “A Christmas Carol,” and we take a deep dive, beneath the Ghost of Christmas Present’s robe!

The League had the ultimate pleasure of talking to the “almost famous” geek icon Flint Dille , author of The Gamesmaster: My Life in the '80s Geek Culture Trenches with G.I. Joe, Dungeons & Dragons, and The Transformers as well as author of our childhoods, and keeper of hidden geek memorabilia.

The Gents take on two different versions of the Kaiju classic the oft-rented, but seldom-revisited Rodan , also known as “Radon,” and also known as “The Bloodthirsty Hawks,” which is Dursin’s new band name.

The Gents give their take on a different version of an old classic, Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut , and how Christopher Reeves was born to play Superman, and how Brando wanted his part to be a bagel. It was a pretty weird production.

The League attempts to de-stress from world events by tackling one of the all-time classic adventure-comedy films, Back to the Future . Even though some people think it’s a tragedy, but you can listen and figure it out for yourself.

Sam Furst of Monsters are Good returns to help us tackle the Hammer Film/Dragoon Thrills/Shaw Bros. co-production of The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires . Sam told us the movie was “pretty wacky,” and that’s about as accurate of a review as you are going to get.

In the spirit of the season, the Gents take on the classic 1931 Boris Karloff version of   Frankenstein.   This podcast is ALIVE, ALIVE!!!… with greatness! No, just kidding. It’s mediocre at best. You can grab it from Amazon and figure out if we're on the money here .

The Gents tackle another childhood favorite: the 1986 animated classic Transformers: The Movie , not one of those horrible Michael Bay ones. Listen to it… until the day till all are one. It’s ponderous, man.

John and Dursin pour one out for the classic action movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark . And you should take a drink every time Dursin says a scene is one of his favorites.

It’s October, so we decided to pick one of our favorite horror classics to analyze… to deeeeeaaaaaaaath, Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn . Listen as we give our take on this horror/comedy/sequel/reboot/requel.  It’ll be groovy.

This week, The Gents tackle Men in Black III , Watch-Along-style. Just sit back and enjoy, and… We’ll take it from here.

The Gents tackle a big secret: the impact and intricacies of   Marvel Super-Heroes Secret War s, the gateway into comics for some of us!

The League tackles another favorite from their childhood; the OG “007” himself, Sir Thomas Sean Connery. We must be dreaming.

The Gents went LIVE on August 21st from the ONCE Ballroom Virtual Venue. We talked the movies of the Summer of 1990, John Hunt showed us how he works his lettering magic, some opened some cool toys, and answered some trivia questions! Thanks to ONCE for letting us do this. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed doing it.

Clay and Dursin are joined by Ken Reid (TV Guidance Counselor podcast) Tishna Lodi (Boston Sci-Fi Film Festival) and Rebecca Housel (Professor of Writing and Literature) as they discuss representation, shared universes versus stand-alone films, and where comic book movies are going at the 2019 Boston Fan Expo.

The Gents tackle the 2005 Firefly companion film, Serenity ! Shiny.

Beginning a new era, The Gents take on a subject near and dear to their hearts: the 1954 classic Gojira. That’s Godzilla to you rubes.

The Gents are here with their final Trek Watch-Along, and we go out with a bang as we enjoy Star Trek Beyond! And even if it wasn’t a great movie, there are at least fewer mistakes by Dursin.

The Gents give their take on the highest-grossing, and most bloated, Trek movie of them all, Star Trek Into Darkness.  Hey, at least it has Robocop.

Continuing our Kirk Watch-Along Series, The Gents tackle the 2009 Star Trek reboot. The very same movie that inspired John to get a Blu-Ray Player, Clay to download it from iTunes, and all of us to make several trips to Burger King in order to get the promotional Star Trek glasses, which broke easily and possibly caused cancer. But the movie is excellent!

Clay, John and Dursin watch are back for the next installment in our Star Trek Watch-Along, Generations . But you don’t need to be lectured by us. We were out saving the galaxy when your grandfather was in diapers.

The Gents travel to “The Undiscovered Country” to watch and give their thoughts on Star Trek VI . Note to the galley: Romulan Ale no longer to be served at League Watch-a-Longs.

Clay, Sam, and Dursin are back to talk about the Season 2 Finale of What We Do in the Shadows , “Nouveau Théâtre Des Vampires.” We promise you nudity.
