How entertaining were the new Netflix movies "Red Notice" and "The Harder They Fall". Are the consistently themselves actors better than the actors that have a large range. And for this episode's "Worst in Fiction", who is the worst sidekick between "Tommy" from Power, "Tails" from Sonic, "Roger" from Who framed Roger Rabbit, "Sokka" from Avatar: The Last Airbender, or "Jason Todd" from Batman?
Episode 3: Bad Dads and Tough Love
Extended Audio
Extended Video
This episode jumps right into a breakdown of Venom: Let There Be Carnage, calling out how the film had more bromance than beatdowns and left Carnage feeling underused. From there, the conversation dives deep into multiverse theories, What If...?, and the MCU’s next moves, questioning everything from Ultron’s wasted potential to whether the Fantastic Four and X-Men might sneak in through a Doctor Strange-sized loophole. The takes get hotter with a debate on whether Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther should be recast, why Idris Elba isn’t the one, and who’s really holding Ls in the DC and Marvel universes. There's slander for Injustice, love for Flash’s true power, and heated talk about the worst fictional dads in the game—Omni-Man, Goku, Batman, and even Anakin all get put on trial. It’s wild, passionate, and packed with the kind of deep cuts and unfiltered commentary only true fans could serve up.
Episode 2: Good Character, Good Movie?
Extended Audio
Extended Video
This episode jumps from roasting LeBron’s acting in Space Jam: A New Legacy to giving overdue respect to real-life stunt legends like Tom Cruise, Jackie Chan, and every uncredited daredevil who’s ever faceplanted for our entertainment. From breaking down which Spider-Man would win in a 1v1v1, to why live-action anime adaptations should probably be illegal, the convo swings hard between hilarious hot takes and genuine appreciation for fandom. They call out streaming platforms for falling off, debate whether Star Wars or Star Trek has the better modern trilogy, and get into how Disney's monopoly powers are both a blessing and a curse. There's anime slander (sorry, Deku), childhood cartoon nostalgia, and wild ideas about the future of Fast & Furious that somehow all make sense when said out loud.
Episode 1: Breaking Ground

The conversation dives into the evolution of modern fandom, jumping from Fast & Furious turning into the Avengers for street racers to why The Rock only plays three roles: ex-cop, ex-military, or someone’s overqualified dad. The debate runs through DC’s deep bench of Bat-family members, questioning how a supposed loner ends up with ten sidekicks, and whether Nightwing or Damian really has what it takes to carry the mantle. Marvel’s power scaling gets picked apart, with Spider-Man's underrated strength taking center stage and Hulk catching stray critiques. From superhero matchups and comic book logic to anime drops and underrated movie recs, the episode moves with wild energy and sharp opinions, never straying far from the love of storytelling and throwing hands.

It’s a raw, funny, and chaotic celebration of all things fiction, fandom, and fire.
