Two millenials with way too much time on their hands. Hosts TJ Patrick and Trevor Catalano take a dive into their binge watching and deep nerd musings. Also shouting at each other over Zoom is better than shouting into the void. From major franchises to coveted cult classics, from artsy cinema to binge-able TV shows, here at The Red Team Podcast, we're after fun and surprisingly insightful takes on your favorites, but maybe also introducing you to something new. Join us weekly, as we explore the media multiverse, try to be better feminists, and Trevor is constantly chasing TJ.

Oh lawd they comin. In this episode, the boys examine a rather obscure set of films from 2008-2012 in what's known as the... Marble Symptomatic Unification? Join us as we examine all of the early MCU films that Gwyneth Paltrow forgot she was in after riding high on Goop quaaludes, as well as what could have been if Tom Cruise got the role of Iron Man, how dumb The Incredible Hulk was, and why Chri...

10. "Basically TJ Rambling for 80 Minutes" - Analyzing Director Edgar Wright 11.11.2020 1:22:45

Alright. You listen to the episode. You click follow. You send us money ( thank you money).   Tell your friends. Have a nice cold pint and wait for Trump's rage, as well as his hair, to all blow over.  But what if they don't know what the episode is about?  Right. You listen to the episode. It's about TJ and Trevor in a new segment analyzing the work of director Edgar Wright, f...

9. "Dissin' Franchise(s)? Just Go With It" - Assassin's Creed & Video Game Films 04.11.2020 1:27:20

We know it's hard. This maybe will make the time pass faster. So here's the description:  Why is nearly every single film based on a video game bad? In a new segment we're calling Dissin' Franchise (like a pun on disenfranchiseme... you know, what screw it), we try to figure out what went wrong with the 2016 Assassin's Creed film, and how it extends to the larger problem of video game franchi...

THIS IS HALLOWEEN! THIS IS HALLOWEEN! HALLOWEEN, HALLOWEEN, Halloween, Halloween!

7. "Into the Tobey Maguire-verse" - Sam Raimi's Spider-Man Trilogy 21.10.2020 1:45:24

Look. We can all admit it. Tobey Maguire is an ugly crier. This week, we're starting our deep dive into the phenomenon of the millenia: superhero movies. And it’s only right that we start with the poster-child grandaddy: the Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy (but also, like... should it be?) Much like the overly-aggressive man-child in red tights, we pull no punches as we examine why we all fell into a...

6. "The Red Team Remake Podcast" - Disney Live Action Remakes with Cat Patterson 14.10.2020 1:37:46

You made... Timon... & Pumbaa... Assholes??? Cue the groans gang, because today we're tackling the money-making, childhood-diluting, public performance of autofellatio that is the Disney Live Action Remakes. What deserves a remake? Which ones are awful, which ones were just a cash grab, and are there ANY good ones? Join us as we chat with friend-of-the-pod Catherine Patterson about 90’s s...

5. "The Rise of ThreeFor Casablancas" - The Star Wars Original Trilogy pt. 2 07.10.2020 1:41:08

Join us as *we* round out our Original Trilogy critique with Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, and *you* decide right here and now whether or not you hate us and everything we stand for. But we love you. (This...

4. "The One With the Droids You're Looking For" - Friends RoR & The Star Wars Original Trilogy pt. 1 30.09.2020 1:25:28

Trevor and the Force are on a break. This week we clobber two massive topics by jumping into the start of our grand analysis of all things Star Wars with Episode IV: A New Hope, as well as the first ever segment of Reject or Renew featuring the behemoth of all sitcoms: Friends. (We also call the segment something other than Reject or Renew, we hadn't branded it right just yet, please don't sue us!...

3. "There Is No COVID in Ba Sing Se" - Avatar: The Last Airbender 23.09.2020 1:35:24

This episode - it'll quench ya! Nothin's quenchier! It's the quenchiest! TJ uses the resurgence of the phenomenon that is Avatar: The Last Airbender to force Trevor to binge it all in a week! This is TJ's favorite thing ever, and as such he gives Trevor some brutal quizzing on par with King Bumi. Join us as we trek through all three books and find out just how furious we should all still be at M....

2. "Clayton!" - Kill Da Babehs (Brick & Disney's Tarzan) 16.09.2020 1:45:11

They say if you love someone, let them go. They say if you love a film, strap your friends to a chair and force them to watch it with notes. In their own version of "killing their darlings", this week the boys each take a look at a film from the other's 3 movies that define them, mentioned in last week's episode, Rian Johnson's Brick and Disney's Tarzan! Join us for a deep dive into Rian's take on...

1. "Just Don't Give Elsa A Boyfriend" - Frozen vs. Frozen 2 09.09.2020 1:28:18

And the boys are off! Welcome to the first episode of the Red Team Reviews Podcast, a show where two millenials have too much time on their hands to talk about nerdy things. In this addition, we tackle the very pressing and politically relevant question on everyone's mind: which Frozen movie is better?? Join us as we mine deep into this sorrowful journey with questions like: Is Olaf a capitalistic...
