Welcome, Void! Erin and Brennan find a small red hell monkey with a HUGE. . . . hand! We watch as he grows to become Red, A.K.A. Hellboy. He fights Sammy, Raspy, Stabby, and SO many tentacles. We spent a lot of time discussing HP Lovecraft, hollow museum statues, and items of the erotic type. But it wouldn't be a podcast with Erin and Brennan if it didn't include ranting about practical...

Erin and Brennan are going to the cottage and wishing that they could afford "cottages" like that! We are finishing off Pride Month with the culmination of an intense and sexy story which began in the alley outside an ice rink and is ending with SO MANY TEARS! Mostly from Brennan but Erin gets involved too. We talk about the importance of allies, queer representation, devastating monolog...

Erin and Brennan begin Pride Month with communication issues similar to Shane and Ilya: Erin's computer keeps breaking and Brennan only hears what he wants to hear. But besides our technical difficulties, can we just bask in the glow of this hotness? I mean, BUTTS FOR DAYS! But also, SO DEVISTATING! They didn't even KISS!!!!! Our main relationship is hot Russian bad-boy meats pure-hearte...

We come from the land of ice and snow, where Thor is hawt and the lost things go! This week Erin and Brennan (siblings from work) drive the ships to new lands, away from Hela, while Thor and Loki seek to overcome their past to become the gods they were born to be. Along the way, we have Valkyrie, the hard drinking "Scrapper," Hulk + Bruce Banner as reigning Arena Grand Champion, and Topa...

Welcome back again again Void! This week we are completing our discussions on the Kenobi miniseries and are having a great time! It's got Kenobi, Kenobi swimming, Kenobi fighting, and GOD Kenobi? I mean, that's a LOT of boulders to throw at one guy, that one guy being Vader of course. Watch out Luke! It'll happen to you in 15 years or so! These three episodes are all about the relat...

Happy Star Wars Month!!!! Our 3 Jedi Masters in exile have spent the last 10 years watching Luke run from his chores and we're pretty tired of it. A broken Obi-Wan Kenobi is called into the fray to tackle his greatest challenge: a small willful child (AKA Princess Leia). Meanwhile, the Inquisitors are struggling to find the last Jedi in the galaxy through layers of paint and prosthetics. Only...

Ahoy Maties! Cheerio, pip-pip, and all that! Welcome to the final week of Submarine month, where we're swapping nuclear missiles for the power of MUSIC!!! We face the Bonkers, Clowns, and Jack-the-Pinchers to bring LOVE, YES, and VERY FRIENDLY HANDSHAKES back to Pepperland. No Nazis here! Instead, we celebrate our father's birthday by having many different discussions about the Beatles,...

Gutin Tag! Wunderbar! Schnell! ALARM!!! Oh wait, it's Submarine Month Part 3 and that means we need to talk about Das GREATEST submarine movie of all time, Das Boot. That means "The Boat" in German! Did we mention it's about Das Nazis terrorizing Allied forces in Das North Atlantic? Did we also mention that through shared anxiety, claustrophobia, and Das drive to survive (not F...

Welcome back to Submarine Month, and today we are diving deeper into the psychological stresses of being in a confined metal tube for weeks at a time. We have Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman arguing about the right way to use nuclear missiles. (And guess what, one of them is right and one is very very wrong.) Brennan references War Games several times (I can't help that it's good at e...

Ahoy! I'm a man! You're a man! WE'RE ALL MEN! At least, that's what Kirk Douglas' character would have us all shouting in our review of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. This is it, the progenitor of steampunk, nautical sci-fi, and submarine movies in general, and that's why we watched it! For our Submarine Month, we are going through the most impactful submarine movies,...

Buongiorno! (We're Italian now.) The Winter Olympics may have ended two weeks ago, but in Italy, we're just in time. Broadcasting to you from the famed snowy slopes of Los Angeles and Tokyo, Erin and Brennan break down the epic moments and controversies from the 2026 Olympic Games. From toy cauldrons to fine spandex butts, we have the content you CRAVE! Heck, let's throw in Heated R...

Welcome back, Void! It's our mother's birthday so we will be discussing one of her favorite topics: SPORT! This time we're discussing baseball, and in particular Moneyball, which took place in our community. It's the story of the criminally underpaid Oakland A's and their quest to get slightly better. This movie is not about successes or heroic deeds, it's about STATI...

Happy Winter Olympics, Void! We're checking in this week with a classic sports film about what we hope to see in international competitions: pride, power, and a bad mothah who don't take nothing from no one! We're talking about the Jamaican bobsled team in Cool Runnings, a fictional story based on the real 1988 debut of this team. We have Derice, the driver, Junior (rich kid) the fi...

Bonjour! Bienvenue à Renaissance France! (That means welcome to renaissance France in French!) (Also, no one speaks French in this movie except for "monsieur" and "madame"). We are discussing Ever After, a beautiful movie that flips the script on the classic fairytale trope way before its time. Danielle (or Daniella?) is a woman who don't need no man, and is more than will...

Heels, nails, blade, mascara; we're ready for OUR napalm era! This week Erin and Brennan willingly, and with no hint of hesitation, give up their souls to the Saja Boys. We love our girls, obviously, but THEY'RE SO HAWT!!!! Could you kill Baby Saja or Abby? Didn't think so. We try our best to say "Gwi-ma," obsess over Derpie and Sassi, and gush over EJAE and all the amazin...

This week Erin and Brennan find themselves in Rockridge watching one of the all time comedy greats Blazing Saddles. We discuss how the trope of the western is turned on its head while laughing pretty much non-stop.  I mean, this is a Mel Brooks film, so of course it has Medieval executioners in the Wild West, 4th wall breaking chaos that spills out into the streets of....Burbank. Plus QUICKSAND, a...

Happy Holidays, Void! Well, this episode writes itself to be honest. It's James Bond in North Korea with hovercrafts, Face-Off technology, and the obligatory stealth vehicle. This time, it's an invisible Aston Martin in the snow! Really, we can count the good things on one hand, but where's the fun in that? Listen to us lament Rick Yune (hot Korean-American actor) being made not-hot...

Welcome back, Void! We're between holidays and you know what that means: cars that go vroom vroom in a circle and drama!!! Oo boy do we have the tea for you! (Disclaimer: Erin and Brennan are not professionals and have no idea what they're actually talking about.) We discuss Don Luis, new head of the Ferrari car family, the schadenfreude of the Red Bull leadership meltdown, and the coron...

This week Erin and Brennan get the worst job that a million girls would DIE for: second assistant to Miranda Priestly. They deal with getting Michelin-quality steak in 15 minutes, eating a cube of cheese when they feel light headed, and generally giving up carbs because they have been fat-shamed by Stanley Tucci. We really agree that ALL of Andy's friends suck except for Doug (JUSTICE FOR CLO...

Welcome to the Sengoku Period in Japan where life is bad and there is violence EVERYWHERE!!! Bandits raid farming villages, samurai wandering without masters, and drunk rascals to push ALL the buttons. We recruit six samurai and one "in between" to defend the village from bandit raids. We have Kanbei the Obi-Wan, Katsushiro the Luke, Gorobei the rotund, Heihachi the joker, Shichiroji the...

Yes, this week is a double hitter and the second episode is all about castles. How they were made, what do they do, and how do they kill you? Why is this important? Because your home is your castle, and you need to defend it against crazy bandits with the Horns of Power (13th Warrior references by request). We have murderous grandmas, sad-dog Kikuchiyo, and Katsushiro making it to home base. (Queu...

This week we open Brennan's Birthday Month with incessant giggles and George Lucas' blessing. Using combing technology to track our heroes, Col. Sanders clucking orders, and inhaling cans of Perri-Air, we once again delve into the mind of Mel Brooks and have an absolute blast. Erin may be put off (Erin feels much more strongly about this than what Brennan wrote) by Pizza the Hut, but bet...

We're back for week 2 of Agatha All Along and the first thing we notice is that we divided the episodes wrong. We REALLY should have revealed who Teen is before the break. Oh well, don't be so simple minded. We've got exorcisms, Ouija boards, and the one person who will taunt spirits especially when you tell them not to. But this half has some of the best episodes, emotional roller...

Seekest thou the. . . PODCAST that discusses the Road in our review of Agatha All Along for Spooky Season! We are back in the MCU and get super witchy, gathering our coven, and running away from the Salem Seven and possible Aubrey Plaza, who seems a little too eager to kill everyone. We discuss the BIG questions: why no shoes, who is Teen, and what is the gut secretion of a social insect? This wee...

Metropolis, Delaware! Superman fights against non-Japanese Ultraman and befriends the worst Green Lantern in James Gunn's directorial debut as the new head of the DCU. We start at the Fortress of Solitude which is no longer solitudinal (Super Robots, Super Dog), moving to a bad guy military base on a beach just around the corner from Metropolis where it's always Casual Friday (Hawaiian s...
