Rick and Dave Control the Universe

If ever a couple guys needed some life coaching, it's us. So we independently met with Ryan Burtanog, M.Ed., MA, who helped answer these burning questions: 1) What the heck is a life coach? and 2) How much does it cost? (Spoiler alert: Ryan's rates are incredibly reasonable.) See for yourself at www.coachwithryan.com and tell him Rick and Dave sent you. Also: The failed promise of 3D printing and...

See if you can guess who actually fell asleep during Marvel's latest. Plus: The Denver meet-up, listener mail, and a telescope that solves the problem with most telescopes (but also maybe robs you of the true telescope experience?). Money, please! https://www.patreon.com/RADCTU

Midlife crisis alert! "What now?" Rick ponders. Meanwhile, Dave is very angry that he sat through a particular movie, but very happy he flew across the country to see a special TV.

Serious question: Should these kajillionaires be spending billions on joyrides or maybe giving back to humanity a little bit? Plus: Book Club (minus books, but plus Loki) and real talk about Consumer Reports -- Dave takes the trusted publication to the woodshed because reasons.

In our final episode of S2, we rewatch the 1987 classic to see if it's still a good movie. And if it's better than Die Hard. (Gasp! Blasphemy?) Plus: Listener mail, robot vacuums and 3D printers. All the things! Have no fear, we'll be back soon!

YOU try coming up with a better way to make fun of Marvel's latest. But don't miss our post-mortem, because we have a LOT of thoughts. Plus: Rick gushes about the series that got him through the pandemic and Dave argues that his latest find didn't run one season too long. (Rick disagrees.)

TikTok got Rick through the pandemic; Dave took some convincing, but now he's totally on board. Find out why we're TikTok addicts now -- and why you should be too. Plus: Our first Pie Hole segment in a looong while. Get ready to have your food world rocked.

Everything we love about superhero movies -- and everything we don't. We're running the gamut from Superman Returns (deep cut!) to Spider-Man 2 (Tobey4ever!) to the Snyder Cut.

Has there been a better TV series yet this year? We'll fight anyone who says yes. Also, Dave's been channeling his inner Beyonce -- because he "put a ring on it." Specifically, a high-tech activity-tracking ring. All that PLUS the biggest plot hole in Pixar movie history.

Can we get serious for a minute? Actually, we can't, but we did have a semi-serious discussion about Joss Whedon, recently accused of creating a toxic workplace for women, and others who've endured similar career scandals. Are we still "allowed" to enjoy Whedon's work? What about Bill Cosby's? Kevin Spacey's? There's a lot to unpack here, so buckle up.

We're back! And we have some thoughts about Star Trek Discovery S3, oh yes we do. Plus, Dave tried Amazon's Alexa-enhanced eyeglasses, and Rick is fiddling with T-Mobile's $50 home-internet service. Here's the straight scoop on both.

We’re finished with Devs and have many spoilery things to discuss. Plus: Dave exercises in VR and Rick gets serious about Grand Theft Auto V. (No, he hasn’t time-traveled back to 2013.)

We’re irrationally excited about the new Hulu series Devs; listen in to find out why. Plus, a must-read for fans of The Office, and Dave reveals his prized possession. (If you had your money on “wind-up Star Wars toy,” you’re in the ballpark.)

How do we explain that gaping plot hole in one of our favorite movies? You know how: A wizard did it! Plus, we geek out over Arcade1Up's Star Wars arcade game and share the funniest show on the interwebs right now.

Plus: Raising your steak game with sous video cooking and our takes on Uploaded, I Am Not Okay with This and Jerry Seinfeld's new Netflix special.

Hello universe! We're here to talk about all the things that interest us, namely TV, movies, books, food, sci-fi, tech, and just being alive in these crazy times. Come for the recommendations, stay for the fun.
