Listener beware, there be SPOILERS ahead.
It’s a main course of current TV with a dash of novels, both visual and traditional, thrown in for flavor.
Steve and Anthony break down the Scoobie Doo parallels. Max continues to be the emotional keystone for season 4. Also, Andre the Giant was the perfect face for Honeycomb cereal.
Steve and Anthony discuss Gendry’s athleticism, zombie Viserion, and the Arya and Sansa rivalry.
Steve and Anthony roll our way through season 4 (episode 2) with discussions of video stores, the amazing acting of Sadie Sink, and breakfast burritos.
Take a peek into our alternative past, present, and future in the return of For All Mankind. The season is bringing new relationships and piling on the family drama. Are we going to get another land invasion of Mars? How many more wars do we need to fight?! Witness the first wedding in space…and it’s just as cringey as some weddings down here on earth, but more dangerous. But the economy is soaring, so I would like to live in this reality please.
We fell for the cast reunion ploy. It drew us in, it’s not our fault we watched this Tyran-atrocious dinosaur movie. The twinkle in Sam Neill’s eye was squashed by the crush of too many species of dinosaurs. And Chris Pratt is now like that cool guy from high school, he already peaked and now he’s just tired. Listen to A.Ron’s impression of Jeff Goldblum when he’s flirting with a woman, there’s nothing like it. Make sure you’re in the club for our next first run movie: Thor: Love and Thunder.
Homelander is…just the worst. Everyone seems to have some sort of plan, but not telling other people the plan…maybe that’s why it’ll take a whole five years to execute? Butcher is crunching V24 and gearing up for a fight with an opponent that may not be as super as expected. And if you want Jim and A.Ron to believe a character is dead, you better show the corpse. The tools are present to cripple and de-power Homelander, but is it possible?
Is Mirri Maz Duur homicidal? Or is she just misunderstood? Gender studies specialist Jan Doolittle Wilson is back to interpret MMD. Then Anthony reads an email from GRRM’s co-author Elio Garcia
