Sorry, We Tried.

Send us a Text Message. In this electric episode of Sorry, We Tried, we're returning to a journey we left behind last year— watching and reviewing every single DCEU film in the lead up to next year's Superman reboot. When we last left off, we watched Justice League, which was so bad that we had to take about 6 months off just to mentally recharge. This week, we're talking about Aqua...

Send us a Text Message. In this high-stakes episode of Sorry, We Tried, the guys (and a special guest) return to the wacky, random world of Everyone is John.

From betting on walrus racing to trying to eat 500 shrimp to become the king of the casino, everything is on the table. Will Harriso...

In this secretive episode of Sorry, We Tried, Spencer shares the story of the man who could (and did) eat anything, Tarrare. He ate rocks, bones, whole live animals, or anything else he could get his hands on. He's a medical mystery that baffled French doctors in the 1700s until he found a new calling as the world's worst soldier and spy.  Also in this episode, guest host Cayson copies R...

In this rough-and-tumble episode of Sorry We Tried, the Punch Bowl segment makes it grand return, but in a new form— a royal rumble match! 20 contestants both fictional and nonfictional will enter the arena, but only one will be deemed the champion. Who will be the last man standing? With contestants like Harry Potter, Patrick Star, and Gordon Ramsay, it's anybody's game! Also in this ep...

In this infrared episode of Sorry, We Tried, Harrison takes us down the rabbit hole by sharing the unbelievable story of how night vision goggles were invented, what their side effects were, and how night vision goggles might have been what made America lose the Vietnam War.

In this insane episode of Sorry, We Tried, Robby shares the saga of how the Batman: Arkham subreddit slipped into a fit of insanity so intense that it almost took the whole internet down with it. How did it start? Where did it come from? Where will this rabid cult of lunatics set their targets next? And is there a lore reason that this episode is a day late?  Answers to all these questions (except...

In this honorable episode of Sorry, We Tried, we're talking about the man many call the greatest swordsman of all time, Miyamoto Musashi. He went on an undefeated streak of 60 duels and zero losses, and most of the stories of his fights are absolutely bonkers. Where did he come from? Who was he? And how did he use the oar of a boat to defeat one of the best swordsmen in all of Japan? Tune in...

In this momentous episode of Sorry, We Tried, it's time for the FIFTH ANNUAL GRIZZLY AWARDS! This is our yearly talk about the best, worst, and weirdest of the year in movies, TV, and pop culture.

However, this conversation ran quite long, so we decided to do the thing that all the movies...

In this bonus episode of Sorry, We Tried--- the first episode of 2024--- the guys discuss the ridiculousness that is the Christian film industry. Modern Christian filmmakers try to pull off everything from multiversal adventures to contemplative dramas or even apocalyptic prophecies... and most of the time, it's laughably bad. Recently, Spencer saw a movie so astoundingly bizarre that it has...

We've had one Christmas special, yes, but what about second Christmas special? In this madcap episode of Sorry, We Tried, it's time for another round of Everyone Is John!

In this life-changing episode, the guys continue their cartoon conversation from the last episode with 100% canon, confirmed information about both Gru and his Minions from Despicable Me. You think I kid, but the Despicable Me universe (the Gruniverse?) is ridden with dark secrets, from cousin marriages to werewolves to secret Nazis. Oh, and we also talk about fantasy football for a bit because th...

In this fresh episode of Sorry We, Tried, we're back from hiatus and talking about all the hottest news. In part one of this conversation, we get sidetracked on Bee Movie for an absurd amount of time. This is the kind of content you listen to this show for, right? I hope so. Enjoy talk of daring stunts, phoned-in performances, Ratatouille, hitting the griddy, and sinister advertisements. Also...

We had an off week, so it's time for another installment of SWT Selects! This time, enjoy the most diabolical prank Robby and Spencer have ever pulled--- tricking Harrison into thinking they had gained access into a totally real, leaked draft of Sony's next Spider-Man villain spin-off, Morbius 2. They even managed to convince him it was directed by Quentin Tarantino. The twist? They wrot...

In this knock-out episode of Sorry, We Tried, the guys continue their conversation from the last episode, which means our special guest is still here! This one goes in some unexpected directions. All I will say is that a rat is involved.  Also in this episode, Harrison shares some spicy old high school rumors about a secret elevator. Robby's football team starts a locker room riot after a bad...

In this free-roaming episode of Sorry, We Tried, it's time for our longest and zaniest Free Talk Friday yet (with a special guest, too)!

Also in this epis...

In this blockbusting episode of Sorry, We Tried, we're persisting in our excruciating return trip to the murky waters of the DCEU! Each film brings us further and further into the epicenter of pain. This is especially true with this week's movie--- the horrific Justice League (2017) film that failed so badly that the franchise never recovered. There's a lot to analyze here, includin...

In this explosive episode of Sorry We Tried,  we're filling in a gap in the schedule! This time, Harrison shares the baffling, life-threatening history of the USA's nuclear testing. You saw its creation in the Oppenheimer movie, but the real story of the nuclear bomb involved a lot more... stupidity. To put it briefly, America has accidentally dropped hundreds of nuclear bombs over the y...

In this quacking episode of Sorry, We Tried, we're talking about one of the most bizarre cases of intellectual property theft ever. Back in the 90s, an ex-Marvel Comics writer out for vengeance literally stole the character of Howard the Duck right from under the noses of Marvel executives in one of the most intricately-planned acts of trolling ever committed. This wild, wild tale involves an...

In this imaginative episode of Sorry, We Tried, the guys return to the wacky, random world of Everyone Is John, their favorite tabletop game where everything is determined by the roll of a dice.

In this mythic episode of Sorry, We Tried, we're continuing with our lunacy-inducing DCEU revisit. This time, it's a double-feature, as we watched both Suicide Squad (2016) and Wonder Woman! There is a LOT to cover, as Suicide Squad had a cursed production that looked very similar to what happened to Zack Snyder with his Justice League movie. The gritty military/crime flick faced everyth...

In this dark and gritty episode of Sorry, We Tried, we're continuing with our DCEU revisit... it's time for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice! This divisive superhero sequel split the world in two back in 2016, creating armies of haters and supporters willing to die for their opinions. 7 years later, is Zack Snyder's Justice League prequel worthy of the controversy? Have our opinio...

In this foot-tastic episode of Sorry, We Tried, Spencer delves back into the world of weird bird stories with the unbelievable saga of Andy, the goose born without feet.
