We’re talking Captain America: Brave New World; the Apple TV movie The Gorge; Long Legs (now on Hulu); Severance; and the series finale of Cobra Kai! We also talk about Elon Musk and Donald Trump laying off about 3% of America, dismantling the American government, and completely selling out the Ukraine to Putin. We’re only a couple weeks into the current Trump administration, and the apocalypse is proceeding rapidly. We’re still going on about that. Recorded on February 20, 2025.

We’re back and talking about the Super Bowl LIX, the Kendrick Lamar halftime show, & Chazmo. We also disused the new Captain America movie & MCU stuff, as well as the first few episodes of Severance, Season Two. And we’re also talking about another round of incompetent clownshow Trump cabinet picks and Trump’s quiet humiliation as Elon’s kid tells Trump to shut up while Elon dances around and laughs as he lays off hundreds of thousands of workers. But, hey, we got to see Chazmo, right? And we’re still going on about that. Recorded on February 14, 2025.

We’re talking about the new Fantastic 4 trailer, a good movie called A Real Pain, Severance season 2 (spoiler-free), and the passing of David Lynch.

We’re back and talking briefly about the return of Severance before talking a little more at length about the movie “A different man.” But the real headlines here are the horrible troll parade Trump inauguration, Trump‘s string of unconstitutional executive actions, and the way Trump pardoned a whole bunch of violent terrorists and cop killers. Looking forward to another four years of this? Yeah, neither are we. All this plus Elon Musk‘s weirdo Nazi salute, and Vivek Ramaswamy’s decision to run for governor of Mordor. It’s only been a few days, and we’re still going on about that. Recorded on January 23, 2025.

We’re talking about the new Instagram-like app being put out by Bluesky, the newest trailer for Daredevil, Squid Games season 2, and the finales of Creature Commandos and Skeleton Crew, as well as much more depressing news, like Trump’s upcoming inauguration and his rogue’s galley of incompetent trolls. All of this, plus a look at Walgreens’ innovative business strategy of making things difficult to purchase and Joe Rogan‘s full shift to being a right propagandist. We’re not even out of the first month of 2025, and we’re still going on about that. Recorded on January 16, 2025.

We are back and talking about Marvel’s What if…?, Creature Commandos, and Skeleton Crew. We also talk the 4th anniversary of January 6th and the upcoming boring rerun of the first failed Trump presidency and the nonstop series of distractions we’ll try to ignore over the next four years. We finish it up with weirdo Mark Zuckerberg’s commitment to allowing disinformation and hate speech on all of his platforms and a look at the AI dominated internet hellscape of the future. All of this plus some movie recommendations, we’re still going on about that. Recorded on January 8, 2025.

It’s the first day of 2025, and we’re back, talking about Squid Games, Marvel’s What If, Skeleton Crew, and Creature Commandos. We’re also noting the sad passing of Jimmy Carter, the tragic attack in New Orleans, and what’s probably the most appropriate image of 2025-a burning Tesla truck in front of Trump tower. We’re talking all this plus more - it’s a new year, and we’re still going on about that. Recorded and released on January 1, 2025.

It’s almost the end of the year, and we’re talking about the new Superman movie, Karate Kid Legends, and a few shows we’ve been watching: Skeleton Crew, Creature Commandos, and Dune Prophecy. We’re also talking about Donald Trump‘s upcoming term, some drones flying around New Jersey, maga chuds thinking they’re gonna get healthy thanks to RFK, and the Matt Gaetz report, which should come out really soon. All of this and more, and it’s not even New Year’s yet. We’re still going on about that. Recorded on December 18, 2024.

We’re back and talking about the end of Sony’s failed Spiderless Sonyverse, the upcoming 28 Years Later movie, and the latest episodes of Dune: Prophecy, Creature Commandos, and Skeleton Crew. We are also talking about the alleged United healthcare CEO shooter and the Daniel Penny trial and what they say about class in the US. We also talk more about Trump’s frantic efforts to avoid trials, his incredibly poor picks for his cabinet, and Nancy Mace’s weirdo reaction to having her hand shaken. We finish up by talking about the village people, a totally straight, not at all gay group, and their totally straight, not at all gay anthems. All the more, and we’re still going on about that. Recorded on December 12, 2024.

We’re back after Thanksgiving with a couple of things to be thankful for - Dune Prophecy & Star Wars: Skeleton Crew - as well as the usual hellscape of mayhem, including the United Healthcare CEO shooting, Trump’s continued parade of horrible cabinet choices, misguided media backlash over the Hunter Biden pardon and much, much more. It’s been a rough end to 2024, and 2025 doesn’t look much better, but we’re still going on about that. Recorded on December 5, 2024.
