This week, Nick and Les are bringing you a double feature that spans from the softest felt to the roughest wasteland. We are diving deep into the silly, joyful world of The Muppet Show special featuring Sabrina Carpenter!  If you ever wondered if Sabrina’s pop energy would mesh with a bunch of puppets, the answer is a resounding yes. We share our favorite sketches and why this felt like such a war...

This week, we're heading to Hollywood with Simon Williams and a guy that looks REALLY familiar... That's right, it's the long-awaited drop of Marvel's WONDER MAN.  Les wasn't excited for this, but hot damn, it's a charming buddy comedy that won us over. Come hear all the reasons we fell for Trev and Simon, why DODC is a crappy SHIELD stand-in, and our hopes for another season of this weird little...

Our movie review series continues for our favorite supporters! This week, we are diving into the visceral, high-stakes world of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. Director Nia DaCosta has taken this legendary franchise into some truly wild territory. We talk about Ralph Fiennes and his ossuary, the terrifying cult of Jimmy, and that shocking ending that has us eager for the next chapter! #28YearsLat...

This week on the main feed, Nick and Les head to Georgia to unpack the twisty new Netflix limited series His & Hers. We discuss the electric chemistry between Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal and try to figure out who we can actually trust when everyone is a suspect. For our TV Diaries, we share the other gems we have been binging lately. Then, we top it all off with our favorite part of the we...

This week, Les sits down with voice actor Zach Aguilar for an exciting conversation about his journey into anime and voice acting, from his childhood beginnings in performance to discovering anime and turning that passion into a career. Zach dives into his experiences voicing major characters like Tanjiro in Demon Slayer, the challenges of such an emotionally demanding role,  and we discuss the ra...

In this episode, we’re joined by Peri Gilpin and Chris Mann to talk about Jo: The Little Women Musical, an ambitious and heartfelt adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s beloved novel. You know Peri from her extensive television and film work (Roz was a BOSS, y'all) and Chris has done everything from The Voice to Phantom of the Opera. Peri discusses her role as a producer on the musical alongside her d...

Welcome to the inner circle! This week for our Patreon family, we are heading to the theaters to check out the new thriller Primate . Did we love it, or prime-hate it? Nick and Les break down the scares, the suspense, and why movies about animals behaving badly are always a blast. Your support keeps our lights on and our mics hot after all these years. Thank you for being part of the journey! #Pri...

This week on TV Dudes, we dive into Physical: Asia and make the case that it is the strongest entry in the franchise so far. The challenges are bigger, the competition is fiercer, and the international cast brings a fresh energy that pushes the format to its limits. From brutal endurance tests to smart strategic play, this season delivers nonstop spectacle and some of the most compelling moments t...

For our Patreon bonus, we dive headfirst into The Fanatic (2019), starring Devon Sawa, John Travolta, and one of the most baffling hairpieces ever committed to film, all courtesy of writer-director Fred Durst. It didn't make us want to Break Stuff, but was it good? (no, not really. but it was a journey, and we had some laughs!) #TheFanatic #LimpBizkit #Travolta #DevonSawa #FredDurst

This week, Nick and Les catch up on all the show watching and holiday movies they binged over the break. Muppet Specials, that PLUR1BUS finale, Heated Rivalry... it's all here.

Join in and see what we saw! 3:00-18:15 Pluribus 18:15-36:30 Stranger Things finale 36:30-57:05 Heated Rivalry Finale 57:05-the rest #TheTVDudes #HeatedRivalry #Pluribus #StrangerThings5

This week, Les sits down with Evan Nikolas Fields to talk about Angel Studios’ new series The Wayfinders, a fantasy adventure packed with magic, visual effects, and big worldbuilding. Evan shares what drew him to the role, how he landed the part, and what it was like bringing the show to life while shooting on location. It is a great behind the scenes look at a new genre series and the work that g...

On Patreon we review the 2006 cult oddity Devil's Den, and yes it is pretty stank. But it is also strange, messy, and kind of fascinating in the way only mid 2000s genre misfires can be. We had a lot of fun breaking down what works, what absolutely does not, and why this one sticks in your brain anyway! Plus it's got DEVON SAWA! We love that guy. #DevilsDen #DevonSawa

We kick off the new year with a dive into Tales of the TMNT season 2! Surprise, we had an absolute blast with it! It's got great energy, awesome character work, and a deep love for the franchise. It feels confident, weird in the right ways, and creatively fearless in a way animated TMNT should be... Which makes Paramount+ canceling it even more frustrating because this season rules. #TalesOfTheTMN...

It’s that time again. Nick and Les count down their Best of 2025, breaking down the TV shows that stuck with them long after the finale. Every pick reflects big swings, surprising performances, and storytelling that actually delivered. It's all here - the shows that made our year bearable. From consensus favorites to passionate outliers, this is the definitive TV Dudes wrap-up of 2025. 2:10-12:00...

This week on TV Dudes, we’re covering a packed slate of television highs, lows, and ongoing obsessions. We kick things off with Fallout Season 2, Episode 1, which continues the Fallout tradition of being shockingly fantastic. We can't wait for more. From there, we dig into the IT: Welcome to Derry finale, which left us more frustrated than frightened, and definitely ready to unpack what went wrong...

For our Patreon Bonus this week, we dive into Wake Up Dead Man, the newest Knives Out mystery. Yes, it’s wonderful. But specifically HOW is it wonderful?? Well... We talk about how the film builds on what makes this franchise so fun while still feeling fresh, why the mystery actually works, and how the cast and tone keep things sharp all the way through. It’s a spoiler-filled conversation about tw...

This week, we skate over to HBO MAX for Heated Rivalry, the show that wants to win gold in sex scenes! We talk about how this steamy, fun show works, all the things Jacob Tierney brought over from making Letterkenny, and why it emotionally connects. That third episode was Mythic Quest level stuff, y'all. 2:20-34:25 TV Diaries 15:15-22:50 IT Welcome to Derry 22:50-27:23 The Abandons 27:23- 34:25 St...

This week on Patreon, we dive into Osiris, the 2025 sci-fi surprise that absolutely knocked us back in our seats. We went in expecting a mid-budget curiosity and instead found a gorgeous, confidently built world, slick effects, and a story that’s way more fun—and way more thoughtful—than the trailers let on. We break down why the movie looks so good, the smart world-building choices that make its...

This week, our Patreon Showrunner JPV picks the show! We dive into The Red King (AMC+), a Wickermannish mystery that grabbed our attention with its eerie atmosphere and promising setup, even if it never quite delivered the punch we hoped for. We break down what worked, where the storytelling lost some steam, and why it still made for an intriguing watch. Plus, we check in with Carol and the World...

This week, we're heading back to Hawkins! The kids are older, the stakes are higher, and Vecna's getting even weirder. We dive into the first four episodes of Stranger Things Season 5, talking character glow-ups and grow-ups, the evolving mythology, and which storylines hit hardest. It's an Upside-Downright awesome episode!

The Patreon bonus this week is just stupid fun. SISU 2: Road to Revenge gave us an excuse to talk outrageous kills, grindhouse energy, and why pure action-mayhem feels like comfort food. It’s one of the most gleeful, high-energy chats we’ve had in ages - Patrons get the whole chaotic ride.

This week, Nick sits down with the wildly talented Sam Haft - composer, songwriter, producer, voice actor, and half of the chart-topping musical duo The Living Tombstone. You know his work from Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel, the smash-hit animated musical universe currently dominating streaming and Billboard charts. Sam joins us for a deep dive into crafting music for these fan-favorite shows - fr...

This week, we dive into Scrublands: Silver on AMC+. It's a moody, slow-burn crime thriller selected by one of our Patreon subscribers! We get into what the show does well, where it stumbles, and whether its chilly, dust-covered mystery kept us hooked. Thanks again to our patron for putting this one on our radar. Plus, we drank our fill of House of Guinness, and caught up on this week's PLUR1BUS! C...

For our Patreon bonus, we strapped in for The Running Man… and immediately regretted it. Somehow this new theatrical take manages to be loud, messy, and bafflingly dull all at once. We break down why it didn’t work, what could’ve saved it, and how a premise this good got turned into that movie. #TheRunningMan #EddieWrong

We’re in full monster-movie bliss this week with Predator: Badlands! This flick absolutely rips (heads off). It's smart, brutal, stylish, and way better than it has any right to be. Nick and Les were both crazy about it, and they break down everything from the new setting to the crazy critters to how it fits (beautifully!) into the Predator lineage. If you love action-horror done right, this is a...
