After the Credits

You've gathered with your party around the Chunkfire to set off on an adventure. But which quest will you embark on? There are choices in front of you. Will you journey into a fantasy realm of magic and monsters, or will you brave the urban vampire depths? You prepare around the Chunkfire, telling old stories of Beau is Afraid, your culinary plans for Coachella, and equip yourself with the sturdiest VR gear. With two paths before you, you roll the dice- After the Credits is doing a double feature! We couldn't decide which movie to talk about, so we just did both! The fantasy adventure/comedy based on the classic table top game, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, and the wacky vampire Nick Cage action romp, Renfield. We packed these 2 hours full of our opinions! But that's not all, cause a wonderful listener email prompts us to re-examine our Mario takes, as well as have a chunky discussion on critical discourse in general! You roll a critical hit!

Dear Listeners, Please come to the cast. We've baked a cake for you. Yours truly, YumChunks --- One day the kingdom of the peaceful YumChunk people was invaded by The Super Mario Bros. Movie, a movie famous for its black magic. The quiet, peace-loving Chunk people were turned into mere podcasters, voices, and even field horsehair plants, and After the Credits fell into ruin. The only one who can undo the magic spell on the Chunk People and return them to their normal selves is the Princess Chunkstool, the daughter of the Chunk King. Unfortunately she is presently in the hands of Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis, Netflix's Beef, and The Afterparty. Ryan, Chewie, and Sean, the heros of the story (maybe) set out on a quest to analyze The Super Mario Bros. Movie, in the way that only three grown men discussing an animated kids movie can, and restore the fallen kingdom of YumChunks. You are a listener! It's up to you to save this podcast! Thank you-a-so-much for listening to our episode! Chunkfire Stories - 02:02 The Super Mario Bros. Movie Summary - 24:54 The Super Mario Bros. Movie Discussion - 33:50

What a beautiful night for a game. And YumChunks wants to play with you. With one man short in this episode of After the Credits, the Davis brothers are on a mission to take out the High Table. And they aren't going to let anything get in their way. Not even discussions of Inuyasha, In Cold Blood, Piranesi, Octopath Traveler 2, or Paradise Killer. All on the bloody path to their final confrontation with John Wick 4. Does this movie have the precision, finesse, and style to survive? How does it measure up against the other killers in the franchise? Which Davis brother can gush more about this film? Answers will be reigning down like bullets, so pull up your tuxedo collar and listen in, cause it's a deadly one. Be seeing you.

A secret world exists beneath ours. A hidden realm between the atoms, a strange world of wonder and chunks. You'll meet wacky beings and see breathtaking sights, but beware the YumChunks. Infinite versions of the YumChunks exist in every possible form. A version where they discuss The Last of Us game and TV show, a version where they talk about the film Cocaine Bear, And even a variant discussing Somebody I Used to Know. But for this episode, they will be shrinking themselves beyond measure and quantum tunneling into the latest MCU film, the debut of phase 5, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Does phase 5 start with a bang? Or with a whimper? Is it fun? Adventurous? Funny? All of these are true, and none of them are. After the Credits exists in multitudes. Join the multiverse and listen in- cause if there's one thing life has taught us, there's always room to cast.

Live from California, it's the 2022 Chunky Awards! With your hosts, Ryan Davis, Matt Chewiwie, and Sean Davis! The stars have come out to play tonight, as the coveted Chunky is on the line. And this year the judges have decided to mix things up with entirely new awards categories, many of which seem to be made up and make no sense. With a special appearance by Viola Davis! So join us as After the Credits looks back at all our favorites, least favorites, and everything in between from 2022. And we make our predictions for the upcoming Oscars. It's been a crazy year, now let's start the new one off right with the Chunkies! And the award for best listener goes to... YOU!!!

Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Navi attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. Another year passed and YumChunks continued a podcast named After the Credits. And although their casting skills are great, they have a lot to learn before they're ready to start a Game Gear podcast, discuss the TNG episode Relics, or... stab someone with a Khukri dagger? But they ARE ready to talk about the epic James Cameron sequel, 13 years in the making, Avatar: The Way of Water. Is this 3+ hour behemoth a Pandora's box of visual effects that delivers on story as well? Or does it Unobtain anything beyond spectacle? We're not sure if we found those answers, but we believe YumChunks can save the world. Chunkfire Stories - 01:30 Avatar: The Way of Water Summary - 24:12 Avatar: The Way of Water Discussion - 31:36

Are we just out for ourselves, or the greater Chunk cause? We'll have to band together for this lengthy Holiday episode of After the Credits. But thankfully the YumChunks won't be fighting alone, because we are joined by our best star friends, from the Marvel Star Wars Explorers podcast, Brian Rudloff and Sam Stovold! With our forces united, we can finally hit the Empire where it hurts- in our lengthy discussions of Mario + Rabbids: Spark of Hope, The Fabelmans, Sputnik Sweetheart, Nando's, and Nepalese scarves. But our ultimate mission means taking on the latest Star Wars show on Disney+, Andor. How much do we love this show? A lot. A lot a lot. It's basically just us gushing for 3 hours. But stars will you have fun listening in on us rave about all the characters, details, sights, and sounds, of this amazing television experience. May the force be with you and Happy Holidays! https://marvelstarwarsexplorers.com/ Chunkfire Stories - 02:56 Andor Summary - 46:54 Andor Discussion - 51:18

Adventure! Discovery! Chunks! Join us as we answer the call of the wild and chart unexplored regions and cast into the great unknown! The YumChunks expeditionary force is prepared for danger and mystery around every turn. Our intrepid band of explorers have gathered their gear and said their goodbyes to loved ones as they embark on the latest After the Credits. Their journey will take them through the mired wilds of Violent Night, the stunning vistas of Wednesday, and the darkened glenns of The Menu. Along the way they'll be aided by a surprise benefactor in the form of early Christmas presents: Sonic Frontiers, Marvel's Midnight Suns, and Dwarf Fortress. But will they survive to reach their ultimate destination and discover Strange World! Is the latest Disney Animation Studios film a revelatory find for the ages? Answer the cast of adventure and listen in to find out!

Your Honor, over the course of this trial, you will find that YumChunks wasted the time of multiple listeners, acted in direct conflict of the general welfare of humanity, and continued to discuss various musings and opinions on live theatre, Russian Doll, Glass Onion, and 2022 holiday additions Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, Spirited, and A Christmas Story Christmas. And to top it all off, there is ample evidence that explicitly shows they discussed, at length, the Disney+ MCU show, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Did they enjoy the sitcom-y vibes and 4th wall breaking tone? Did the procedural lawyer elements work for them? And what about that ending? Well, that is for the jury to decide. Please listen to all the evidence in this SMASHING episode of After the Credits and render your verdict. Objection! Overruled! And there may be exculpatory evidence in the form of an email! Order! Order! Order in the court! We rest our case. Case closed. Chunkfire Stories - 03:08 She-Hulk Summary - 27:47 She-Hulk Discussion - 35:00 Listener Email - 01:38:48

YumChunks is the most powerful cast on Earth. And our path forward is of our choosing! Ruminate on the wonders of the glass blowing competition tv show Blown Away, the dark anthology of Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities, and the weird musical biopic of Weird: The Al Yankovic Story. But this phase of After the Credits comes to a close with their epic discussion of the much awaited sequel to the iconic Marvel blockbuster, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Blue fish people, a great ensemble cast, and some themes perhaps not fully explored, make up topics as the guys also clumsily navigate a discussion of the death of Chadwick Bossman and how it's manifested in the Black Panther follow up. It'll be just like listening to the wisdom of your ancestors in a prophetic vision. YumChunks Forever! YumChunks Forever! YumChunks Forever!

We're no heroes. But we're also not villains. We are protectors? Or no wait, we're champions! But definitely not heroes. When we want to use our powers we just say the magic word- Sha-CHUNKS! No superhero league errr, society, can stop us. We throw down with discussions of the game Immortality, the Flanna-verse, Werewolf by Night, and anthropomorphic Rock figurines. Speaking of cold lifeless statues, we also discuss Black Adam, the new DCU superhero film. But wait, he's not a hero. Supervillain film...? He's not a villain either. What is heeee?! We definitely get to the bottom of it during this Halloween episode! And we even got an extra treat in the form of some chunky listener emails about our previous discussion of Nope! Just tell them YumChunks sent you. Happy Halloween! Chunkfire Stories - 03:26 Black Adam Summary - 39:13 Black Adam Discussion - 39:13 Listener Email - 01:43:40

Welcome to the YumChunks' Claim. The rootin tootin'ist podcast in these here parts. Sit a spell at our ol' Chunkfire and listen to a tale or two about recent films Prey and Bullettrain. Or maybe head on over to the salloon and grab a drink and hear about the Netflix show The Sandman. And you might just find Chewie out yonder where you can catch up on all his recent Marvel thoughts. And you sure are gonna wanna stay tuned for the big show where the boys saddle up and try and wrangle the biggest film on this here episode of After the Credits, the new Jordan Peele flick, Nope. Can the boys handle this monster of a movie? They'll throw every trick they got to make sense of Gordy, Jean Jacket, and all your faves in the wildest cast in the wilderness!

Dear Listeners, If our calculations are correct, you will be listening to this episode of After the Credits immediately after you saw it show up in your feed. First, let us assure you that Chewie is alive and well. He's been touring Ireland, London, and Paris happily these past four weeks. He has been perfectly happy living in the fresh air and wide-open spaces. The luggage that he lost was recovered in London. However the amount of Nando Chicken involved has overloaded the casting circuits, and sent him and Ryan to London's West End. Unfortunately, Sean didn't make it. We are perfectly happy here, discussing the Back to the Future: The Musical. We feared that changes to the film only risked further disruption of the source material. And we take care to talk about the original musical numbers and the songs from the film. We know that you will want to hear how the actors portray your favorites like Doc, Marty, George, and Biff. And we remember to go into detail about the amazing technical feets the production achives. But we fear that this podcast only risks further disruption of the space-time continuum, so remember, after you listen, destroy this podcast! These are our wishes; please respect them and follow them. And so Listeners, we now say farewell and wish you Godspeed. You've been good, kind, and loyal listeners, and you've made a real difference in our lives. We will always treasure our relationship and think on you with fond memories, warm feelings, and a special place in our hearts. - Your friends in casting, "YumChunks" August 15, 2022 Matt's European Vacation - 03:00 Back to the Future: The Musical Discussion - 01:10:10

The Chunk gods are in danger! Throughout Castville, a dark presence is hunting caster gods, and it has made its way to the realm of After the Credits. And with Chewie once again away, how will Ryan and Sean survive? Surely someone will answer the call of the horns of Chunkgard. Kev Young the Almighty, from Reopening the Wormhole, is here to save us! We charge our divine Chunkfire with a pantheon of topics, from the Halo television series and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, to Jedi: Fallen Order and amazing new pictures of deep space. But then we call down the awesome power of thunder to crack open a massive discussion about the latest MCU flick, Taiki Waititi's Thor: Love and Thunder. Does this cosmic gonzo adventure live up to the legacy of Ragnarok, or does it chart its own path through the bifrost? Sit in on this godly round table as the guys discuss the highs and lows and determine if it's worthy to bear the name Thor. Eat our hammer!

We are the Avatars of an ancient power. It lives inside us, and awakens to podcast against evil. But the power of YumChunks is also terrible, and has sundered us into multiple personalities. Chewie has been separated. Gone to a far off land. But the Chunk has not abandoned us, it has sent us Aaron Ruiz to help us cast on this episode of After the Credits! Ryan and Sean catch up with Aaron as they discuss hidden personas and fogotten gods in From Software games, The Boys season 3, SDGQ, and Ryan's amazing adventures in Nepal. But the for the main event, the boys don their best suits as they ponder the psychological twists, the crazy action, and the uncanny vibe that is Marvel's Moon Knight. Does this unique series deliver on all its interesting promises and premises, or does it leave us a little hollow? It may be a few months late, but we kept blacking out and waking up in wacky situations, so it took a little longer.

We made it to 100! Can you believe it?! Cause we can't! In this very special episode of After the Credits, the boys spill all their chunks. It's a Summer catch up extravaganza. All the movies, tv, and video games that have been piling up over the last few months finally get discussed. We have mini discussions of The Northman, Barry, Men, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, The Pentaverate, The Secrets of Dumbledore, The Lost City, 12 Minutes, The Outer Wilds, Lightyear, The Tainted Grail, and more! And Ryan takes us on an adventure across Europe, from London to Barcelona, Amsterdam to Paris, the food, the culture, the Sonic 2! Plus a chance to listen back at some of our treasured memories throughout the years as the boys select their favorite clips from past episodes (we're so so sorry). It's a trip down memory lane as we hit this major milestone. And to top it all off, we empty our mailbag with a few special foreign correspondances. 100 episodes of this? How did this happen?! You have only yourselves to blame. We want to thank each and every one of you who have listened to our silly ramblings. We can't believe we've actually done 100 of these. We can't wait to discover what the next 100 have in store! Keep listening and we love you all!

A dumb "podcast", huh? OK, try to imagine yourself in the Chunk Period. You get your first listen of this "movie review podcast" as you listen to the episode. It sounds like a podcast, lightly, bobbing along. And that's when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the side, from the other two chunks you didn't even know were there. Because the YumChunks are pack casters, you see, they use coordinated attack patterns and they are out in force today. And they slash at you with this...A six-decible recording, like a razor, in your ear. The point is, you are alive when they start to ramble at you. So you know, try to show a little respect... in this episode of After the Credits! Ryan, Sean, and Chewie mess with things they shouldn't as they talk about airline cinema, catch up on all the new Star Trek from 2022, and splice a mini review of Top Gun: Maverick into this megolithic episode. But how do they fair when faced with giants locusts, clones, feather dinosaurs, a clown car of characters that don't get eaten by dinosaurs in this dinosaur movie, and the ultimate cinematic hubris of man, Jurassic World: Dominion? Will they survive the colossal mess that is the latest in the Jurassic franchise? Can they avoid a critical hate spiral? Will this film eat them alive? Eh, they just have to put their hands up, they'll be fine. They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should. And they really really shouldn't have.

Welcome to the Chunkverse. Hopping between podcasts, you will eventually end up here. It's a strange universe indeed, full of discussions about Stranger Things season 4, Tunic, robot book The New Breed, and American Crime Story. And Ryan is back from his voyages just in time to talk about Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness! Does Sam Raimi succeed at branding this dark, insane, MCU adventure with his own style?

We got our chili dogs, we got our power sneakers, we've been rolling around at the speed of sound... YumChunks is ready! But wait, Ryan is still away and we need him- what are the guys to do? Don't worry, cause Sam Stovold from The Young Jedi Knights Club podcast is here to lift Chewie and Sean up just in the nick of time! In After the Credits Zone, Act I, they make sure the chunkfire is burning bright with some Trek talk, some mini reviews of Ambulance, The Adam Project, Lynch's '84 Dune, Everything, Everywhere, All at Once, and the latest Kirby game, Kirby and the Forgotten Land. In Act II, they navigate the highs and lows, the good the bad, and the fast and the slow of Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Does this kids' movie deliver on the best of the Sonic video games? Does it also include a weird wedding subplot with no relation to Sonic or his friends? Well, don't blink or you'll miss it. And congratulations- you found a bonus email stage!

We want to suck your blooood. Cause we're vampires. Living vampires! Look at us fly around, with bats, and monster faces, and sharp teeth. OOoooOOOooo, YumChunks! About as much thought went into this intro as did the subject of this After the Credits episode. Sorry. But Sean and Matt are doing their best while being down a member of the YumChunks crew this week as Ryan is off galavanting around Europe. They warm themselves as best they can with some synthetic chunks around the fire as they discuss a few recent films from the last couple months, Death on the Nile, The Lost City, and Windfall, as well as some TV talk with Archive 81, and Our Flag Means Death. But that's not why you're here, you want that authentic stuff, the real blood. And don't worry, it's a feeding frenzy, as the boys pick apart the latest Sony Spider-verse-(sans Spider-man)-Venom-verse entry, Morbius. Were they able to find anything worth the effort in this empty vessel? Listen in to find out. And make sure you stay after the discussion for some more juicy listener email.

Fear is a tool. When the Chunk hits the net, it's not just a cast. It's a warning. For them. And for you, listeners. Cause in this episode of After the Credits, the guys are here to cleanse the streets of Castville with Justice. They won't back down from the corruption of their many enemies as they brawl with American Horror Story, investigate competitive reality TV, Is It Cake?, stalk our quick takes on Uncharted, and offer our hottest roundup of the 2022 Oscars. But they'll realize they need to become a symbol for hope as they dive into the latest big screen incarnation of the caped crusader, Matt Reeve's The Batman. Does this yet another Batman reboot offer anything new to the Gotham landscape? But wait- if you thought that was it, stick around for their greatest foe yet, as they discuss feedback in a monstrous listener email. Tune in and solve the riddle... What's black and blue and dead all over? YumChunks. The answer's YumChunks. Na na na na na na na na na, YUMCHUNKS!

We've been good all year, we made it home for the holidays, we've opened all our gifts, and now YumChunks gets to sit back and enjoy in the latest episode of After the Credits. In a very special Chunkfire, the boys share all their presents: shirts, books, barbecues, suitcases, returned VR headsets, duplicate copies of video games, water picks, sunglasses, gift cards, meat, and so much more! But the greatest gift of all, is the latest Marvel show on Disney+, Hawkeye. Does this six episode series deliver the fun, action, drama, AND Holiday cheer?

We know why you're here, why you can't sleep, why you sit by your phone. You're looking for them. We know, because we were once looking for the same thing. But what you're really looking for is an answer. It's the question that drives us. What is YumChunks? Free your mind as After the Credits awakens you to the truth. The truth about The Witcher Season 2, about the Link's Awakening remake on the Switch, about the Jack Box Party Pack 8. But mostly about the return to the beloved groundbreaking action, sci-fi franchise in The Matrix Resurrections. Does this much later sequel come equipped with style and kung fu; do it's ideas, premises, and meta elements come through and make any sense? You'll have to take the red pill and follow us down this cast to find out. Because you can't be told what YumChunks is. You must experience it for yourself.

Twas the night before Christmas, as we finish up edits, the YumChunks are casting, on the latest After the Credits! Dancing in their heads were visions of Mario Sunshine and the OLED Switch, Licorice Pizza, Pen15, and Saturday Morning All Star Hits! But then what to their wondering eyes did appear, but Spider-Man: No Way Home at their local theatre! So listen in on the cheery festival of lights as the guys sing its praises for almost two and half hours. They dabble in some criticisms and questions, but ultimately, it's the gift that keeps on giving. They got exactly what they wanted!

They trap an unruly discussion of Tick, Tick... Boom!, get ectoplasm all over an Earth, Wind, and Fire concert, and get possessed by the new Mickey Mouse cartoon shorts. But when an extra-dimensional threat to all time and space emerges, they have to cross their streams to talk about the sci-fi adventure comedy reboo- er, sequel... uuh, rehash, Ghostbusters: Afterlife. The spectrometer nostalgic reading is off the charts! Can it capture the spectre of fun and humor from the original? You'll just have to answer the call to find out. Chunking makes us feel good!

In the beginning, the Prime Chunk brought light unto the world. And it thrived. All was in balance. But the Deviant casts emerged. Agents of chaos. And so the YumChunks were sent forth as protectors. And After the Credits was formed to defend Castville. Sean spoke of Netflix movies, both good and bad, Chewie of The Nightmare Before Christmas live Halloween concerts, and Ryan of ranking apps and Metroid: Samus Returns. But they were not alone on this occasion, for a new champion joined their cause- Brian Rudloff of Marvel Star Wars Explorers joined in the fight and took part in the tradition of tragedy on ATC. Their stories culminated with the emergence of Marvel's Eternals. Did they find a solution to the moral quandries and overloaded character roster of the massive movie? Their story is still being told. Even now. If you just listen... to this episode! It's a big old chunky boy, but we explore every nook and cranny of the latest MCU entry. And we even squeeze in some emails! Listen in to the Celestial sounds! Thanks again to Brian for joining us and providing the comic reader's perspective on this huge thing of a film.

Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. We will face our fear. We will permit it to pass over us and through us. Join the YumChunks as they recite their After-the-Credits-litany. The guys fasten their still-suits and ride the sand worms through discussions of The French Dispatch, Last Night in Soho, and the Austin Film Festival and FilmQuest in Provo, before discussing the great film Arrakis- Dune. Will this latest adaptation of the revered scif-fi staple embolden a whole new generation of fans, or does the episodic entry leave viewers wanting?

We hope you prefer your casts shaken, and not stirred. Cause After the Credits is gonna get explosive this week. Secret missions, world ending plots, double crosses, all set in the framework of a griitty more grounded YumChunks. Our ATC Agents debrief about globetrotting escapades from the San Diego Film Festival, discussions of dark crime in Batman: The Long Halloween, and weird icelandic indie film, Lamb. All prelude to the final showdown, the latest, and last, Daniel Craig Bond feature, No Time to Die. Does this era of Bond come to a close with a satisfying climax or does it miss the target? Only one way to find out, and while this is no time to die, it is the perfect time to Chunk. Chunkfire Stories - 01:46 No Time to Die Summary - 22:03 No Time to Die Discussion - 32:06

The speculation continues as YumChunks dives deeper into the multiverse and asks the question... Now What? The thrilling conclusion to Part 1 of After the Credits' coverage of Marvel's animated anthology. But before they face the ultimate threat to Castville, they gather Chunks from across the multiverse. Haunted House Muppet heroes, Metroid Dread impressions, Star Wars Visions critiques, Squid Game reviews, and a theoretical app to rule them all. These are the stories you don't know as we guide you through the final four episodes of Marvel's What If...? Does the show end on a high note in hypothetical alternate reality fun? How do these episodes stack up against the first half? Do we use this as an excuse to talk about the Prime Directive from Star Trek? All these answers and so much more. So break your oaths and come with us, the Guardians of the Chunkyverse, the possibilities are endless...

Let there be Chunks. On this week's After the Credits- we're talking about symbiotes. And serial killers. And Woody Harrelson's wig. But not before a mini-review of Dear Evan Hansen, some Castlevania canon talk, and short hot takes on the new Star Wars animated content, the anthology series Visions, and the Halloween special, Terrifying Tales. Then, and only then, will carnage be allowed. YumChunks puts on their boots and wades into the muck of Venom: Let There Be Carnage. We pick out the chunks we like and try and make sense of this mess of a movie. And we cap it all off with a listener email which prompts some re-examining of Shang-Chi. This cast is symbiotic, listeners. We need each other. And it's so much more fun than biting off heads. Maximum Chunkage.

Time. Space. Reality. Chunks. They're more than a simple podcast. They're prisms of endless conversation. Where a single voice can branch out into infinite tangents, creating alternate opinions from the ones you know. Each a reflection of what should not have been. Some hosts will rise, others will fall. And nothing will be the same. We are YumChunks. We are your guide through these cast realities. What if Ryan took a trip to San Francisco? What if Chewie rewatched the Matrix recently? What if Sean played silly JRPGs? But more than anything, face the Absolute Point in time, as After the Credits discusses the first five episode of the Marvel animated anthology series, What If...? Does this animated forey into the multiverse spark imagination, fun, and thought, or is it just an excuse to get your favorite Marvel characters hanging out? Follow us and dare to face the unknown, and ponder the question... If What? And stay tuned for Part 2 coming in October!

Ages ago, a gift bestowed upon a chosen few, gave those individuals enormous power. Power that propelled them through the years, growing ever more ferocious in their casting destruction. The Ten Chunks. Weilding these awesome vestiges of energy, After the Credits dances in a language of sound and voice. Kicking their way through Malignant and Candyman, punching out Kate and Ted Lasso. Finally, honor is met as they face the ultimate enemy, Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Does this fantastical martial arts blockbuster knock 'em out? Only a true listening master can know. After the battle though, don't go away, cause we have one of the wildest set of listener emails this side of Ta Lo. Deep discussions of human and artifical intelligence, and an epic correspondance uncovering long hidden theories of X-Men and the MCU and variant timeline explanations. This podcast looks to be made of something, unknown, something... Chunky.

Podcast X, AKA The Chunk Squad, reviled and cast away, utterly expendable, the YumChunks. Assembled to pull off a job no one else can. In this episode of After the Credits, the guys go off mission with Nintendo trivia and history, rank some recent lower profile films, and dive deep into ravioli. And finally, when everything's on the line, they lay it all out there for the new DCEU feature, James Gunn's The Suicide Squad. Does this low-key reboot-sequel find the perfect balance of wackiness, humor, and heart, or was it doomed from the start? If the Chunksquad can't make this work, then, well, whatever. They can be replaced. Chunkfire Stories - 01:38 The Suicide Squad Summary - 32:37 The Suicide Squad Discussion - 39:43

Please find a seat and our cast will begin shortly. Keep all listening devices on at all times. YumChunks is not responsible for any injury, psychological damage, or drownings sustained during our After the Credits tour. On the lefthand side of the cast you'll hear about the Black Mesa Half-Life remake. Careful though, it's prone to decay. Coming up on the right, we have recounts of The Beauty and The Beast live musical. Legends say it's a tale as old as time. Oh, we just passed talk of the Great Ace Attorney video games. It's a good thing though, it has a habit of objecting to our tour. And straight ahead of us, the jewel of the cast, the film adaptation of the Disney theme park attraction, The Jungle Cruise. Does it capture the silly humor and vibe of the park ride and still tell a fun charming adventure story? Luckily for you, you're stuck on this tour for another hour and forty minutes and are about to find out. There will be listener emails at the end of the cast, so hold all questions forever, and don't be afraid to tip your Chunkguides. They will bite.

The YumChunks corporation presents the most advanced podcast listening algorithm available. Using space age data collection and optimization, we have been able to pinpoint the exact podcast to fit your entertainment needs: After the Credits. We've tracked all of your personal metadata to determine highly curated topics like: the Yesterday's Enterprise episode of Star Trek TNG, repeatedly revisiting our Loki episode, the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics, and why Sonic must remain in 2D. But our ability to really understand the needs of our audience is on full display when we have a meandering, schizophrenic, angry conversation about Space Jam: A New Legacy that includes lengthy tangents into the facets of hero worship, the nature of acceptable quality in art, and pointless nostalgia obession. In maybe our longest episode yet, we get loose and looney and... on second thought, you should probably just avoid this episode altogether. As a cutting edge algorithm, we can't recommend it. If you insist on listening, please send complaints to yumchunks@gmail.com. Don't say we didn't warn ya!

Welcome to the PVN (Podcast Variance Network)! If you're here, it means you have stumbled across a variant podcast. This podcast may have been created as a fluke, a joke, maybe a couple of guys had too much time on their hands and felt the need to have their dumb opinions about movies and TV be heard, whatever the case, this podcast is not part of the Sacred Podcast Network and needs to be pruned. You can do your part by making sure not to listen to any variant casts, like After the Credits. Definitely don't listen as they talk about popcorn, wheelhouses, or read listener emails. And if you listen to their discussion of the latest Marvel series, Loki, a Nexus event may occur and throw all networks out of whack. Does any of this make sense, does any of LOKI make sense? Unfortunately, the only way to find out is to press play, and by doing that you forfeit control of your mind and are subject to the law of the Chunk Keepers. So remember, help keep the Sacred Network right, do your part, and if you hear a variant cast, inform anyone and everyone around you!

Trained from childhood to be the best, the most lethal, the most covert podcasters in the world; YumChunks exists in the corners of the internet, silently manipulating the powers that be. They are born from the Chunk Room. But can they be redeemed, can they break free from their bonds, the only world they've ever known, to become After the Credits? Only by coming together as a family: Ryan's caped crusade against The Tomorrow War, Sean's unapologetic acceptance of Zelda: Skyward Sword, and Matt's descent into non-stop theatre work, can they ever hope to survive? And ever hope to discuss the long awaited return to film for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Black Widow. Does the action spy character backstory deliver, or is it too late? You'll have to listen in and hold your breath to find out. Plus a new theme song! There so much here you may have to defect! And look out for our Loki episode releasing soon!

Robot uprising? Technology run amok? Can't connect with your family? YumChunks understands. Sometimes we all just need to recognize the value of each others' perspectives and learn that working together can stop any cyber-apocalypse. So in the interest of mutual collaboration, in this episode of After the Credits we argue endlessly in one of the most contentious episodes yet! But first we talk about the wrong Bad Batch, get updates on Matt's re-journey through the MCU (now with a fun jingle!), and rank weddings! Then finally, we get into whether The Mitchells vs the Machines is a special animated extravaganze, or just another average kids movie. Matt and Sean go at it as Ryan pleads for some semblence of peace. Who would have thought this Netflix film that most of the members of this podcast hadn't even heard of until a few days before recording would be so divisive! So listen in on your phones, pads, screens, TikToks, Facebooks, screwdrivers, radios, or whatever device you prefer. The technology doesn't matter as much as the connections that are created...

All the casts send their bravest casters to compete for the destiny of all other realms. If any cast is to defeat another cast in 10 consecutive podcasting tournaments, that cast gains dominion of the other. Outcast seeks to destory the ChunkRealm once and for all. Only the few remaining YumChunks remain to defend After the Credits from total annihilation. First they must train by watching a brutality of new TV shows like Shadow and Bone, The Bad Batch, and Invincible, then they must focus on a theatrical viewing of Demon Slayer, and finally they must achieve their arkana by having a baby. Only then will Ryan, Sean, and NetherRealm guest, Aaron, be able to achieve a perfectly executed Fatality in their discussion of the new film adapation of the classic video game fighting franchise mainstay, Mortal Kombat.
