Season 2 Episode 9: King Arthur & The Knights of Justice   Not a patron pick this week, but a listener suggestion instead! In my search for the obscure, odd, and even overlooked, I took to the interwebs for a little help to round out and end The Odd & Obscure Month. Thankfully, friend of the show Matt aka Quip came to our aid, and suggested this oft forgotten gem of the 90s. Close out February as...

Season 2 Ep 8: Madballs!   A slightly different approach to this week's Patron Pick for The Odd & The Obscure month. Our dear Patron Maddy wasn't quite sure what to pick so she left it up to me.

Season 2 Episode 5: SUPER STINKERS: Silver Surfer & Avengers: United They Stand   In an act that can only be described as a crossroads between hubris and self-deprecation, I subject Dustin & Jason to two shows nobody asked for…but damn if Fox Kids didn't try. Make Mine Marvel Month comes to a close as we begrudgingly discuss these two 13 episode long failures that close out Marvel's reign over 90'...

In what can only be described as hubris, I also subject Dustin & Jason to the spiritual successor of this show, Spider-Man Unlimited. Brace yourselves, w...

Ep 15 sees continue our quest to understand the human mind and the nature of FOMO in Christmas Craze pt 2.

Episode 12 is here, and it's a Shawna pick. We're talking Denver the Last Dinosaur, and I predict worse download numbers than Visionaries! One might ask why on Earth would we cover this?! It's simple, two reasons. One, just because something wasn't a banger doesn't mean it isn't gettin covered (again, Visionaries). Two? Happy wife happy life, gang. Banger or not, we're going to do our best to make...
