We're talking the Supergirl trailer in this week's bonus mini episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Supergirl's trailer has been out for a little while, and it looks like a lot of fun, but the online trolls have it out for the Kryptonian's adventure, and we check out why...

We're talking Tron: Ares in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. The film came and went in theaters, but Disney is hoping that it'll find a happy, second live on streaming. After watching it, the two Mikes have their doubts. But hey, the soundtrack is awesome...

We're talking the new Masters of the Universe trailer in this week's bonus mini episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. The first trailer for the new He-Man live action film recently dropped, and we check it out to see, above all, if it's better than the 1987 film... because it can't get much worse...

We're talking a few Taco Bell selections in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. With Ghoul Mike tasting live, we're sampling the Mini Taco Salad, the Steak and Garlic Nacho Fries, and the Chicken Nuggets, and giving our thoughts on all the good and bad things about each selection. It's spicy, it's garlicy, and it's fun for the whole meal.

We're talking the first James Bond film, Dr. No, in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. We're starting a series watch, going film by film, through the 007 films, and that means we have to start where it all began. The first James Bond. The first Sean Connery. The first time 007 went around, drank all the vodka, slept with anything that moved, and somehow came out on top. It's a gift, we guess...

We're talking Death Note in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Having recently gone through the anime series, the two Mikes discuss the highs and lows of the show, while also touching on the manga and the Netflix movie. No notebooks were harmed in the making of this episode.

We're doing our annual Superbowl Playoff Predictions in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. In this annual season premiere tradition, we boot up Tecmo Super Bowl, feed it the teams in an exhibition game, and let the Computer take the wheel as we enjoy three quick-fire furious football games. It's great fun, and then we can watch the real thing and see how well Tecmo predicted it. Come join the fun on the sidelines for this 2026 edition.

We're presenting our outtakes from the last season of content in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. With the season over (we'll see you all again in February of 2026) we've collected all the Shorts we've published during the season and put them all together here, for your ease of viewing. Enjoy, and we hope you have a great holiday season. Here's to next year!

We're talking the most expensive movies ever made in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. With a report that Disney spent upwards of $600 Mil on the ninth Star Wars, only to them make the most expensive cinematic flop ever made, we had to go and look at what other expensive films were made and whether or not they actually were worth the money spent. The results might surprise you.

We're talking Blade Runner and it's sequel in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Recently, both Mikes watched the Blade Runner duology, because most sci-fi cinephiles consider the first film to be an absolute classic of the genre, and, well, we left feeling unimpressed. At least about the first one. Blade Runner 2049 is actually pretty good. Not so good: Jared Leto. Come in and join the discussion.

We're talking Panda Express in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. A chance visit to the fast food Chinese restaurant spurred us on to discuss what works, and what doesn't, at this chain. The answers might surprise you.

We're talking Final Destination: Bloodlines, as well as touching upon the series as a whole, in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Bloodlines came along and injected new life (and a lot of gore) into the franchise. We discuss the highs and lows of the film, what works and what doesn't, and try to see just where the series can go from here.

We're talking the full first season of Alien: Earth in our promised follow-up discussion in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. With the season over, and time given for us to mull over the whole of the story and see where's it gone, we share our thoughts and say what worked, and what didn't, for Alien: Earth, while we hope it comes back for a second season.

We're talking The Long Walk in a special Mini-Episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. The recent Stephen King (or, if you want to be pedantic, Richard Bachman) adaptation came out, and we're finally discussing it... after recovering from how depressing the film really is. Come and join the chat.

We're talking the Popeyes x Hot Ones collab in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. With Popeyes and Hot Ones teaming up for a special, (supposedly) very spicy menu, we pick up our combos and check out just what this collab has to offer. The results were mixed at best.

We're talking A Goofy Movie in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. One of the two Mikes loves this movie while the other hadn't seen it, so it's nostalgia versus seeing a kid's movie as an adult as the two discuss.

We're talking the TV shows we always go back to in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. From Daria to Avatar: The Last Airbender, and a number of other shows we couldn't put down, we talk about what sucked us in and why we always come back...

We're talking the Snyder Bros in a special Mini-Episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Zack Snyder has a small but very vocal fan club online who tend to drown out much of the discourse around the new DC Comics films, so we discuss them, as well as the Snyder movies they seem to love so much.

We're talking KPop Demon Hunters in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Joined by a special guest, we talk all things demon hunting, from the music, to the characters, to whether Rumi is really Emperor's Palpatine's other grand-daughter. You don't wanna miss it.

We're talking Star Wars with a couple of Star Wars fans in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. We have Extended Universe fan JShydell on the 'cast, alongside Jedi fangirl (and wife of one of the Mikes), Bex, here to talk all things Star Wars. Come in and join!

We're talking the series premiere for Alien: Earth in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Going in for only the first two episodes (as the series hasn't finished it's season run yet), we take a look and see just how much this new show nails when it comes to Alien, and if there's hope the franchise is finally in the right hands...

We're talking new films and the lack of origin stories in a special Mini-Episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Both Fantastic Four: First Steps and Superman lacked proper origin stories, dropping us deep into the action and forcing us to adapt. Was it the right decision? We discuss...

We're talking the continued struggles of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Fantastic Four: First Steps failed to meet expectations at the Box Office, just like Thunderbolts* before it, and Captain America: Brave New World before that. Is this indicative of a trend? We think so, but come hear more about it...

We're talking Fantastic Four: First Steps in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Since anyone that wanted to see the film likely has by now, we get into the nitty gritty -- the plot, the action, the characters, the spoilers -- to really see what worked and what didn't. Mostly it didn't.

We're talking 2022's The Batman in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. One Mike didn't like the film, the other Mike loved it, so we watched the film again to see who was right and who was wrong. It's a battle for Gotham you won't want to miss!

We're talking Domino's Pizza in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Having heard that the Domino's of today is far better than it was twenty years ago (when either host was last willing to eat their food), the two Mikes give the pizza chain a second chance. The results were mixed...

We're talking Predator: Killer of Killers in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. This animated film from the mind of series lead Dan Trachtenberg gives us three heroes in three time periods taking on the Predators, and it's awesome. We discuss it all...

We're talking the new DCU Superman film in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. James Gunn just released the first film of the new DCU, and the two Mikes have thoughts. Come on in...

We're talking the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, and most specifically the Curse of the Black Pearl, in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. We made an effort to watch through the whole series of five films to discuss them, but got stymied but the considerable decrease in quality from one film to the next. The details might shiver your timbers...

We're talking the dining out in Charleston, WV, in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. After recently hosting the FFR Rando Marathon: Summer 2025 Live! in Charleston, the two Mike's discuss the places they ate, and where was worth going back, when the next event comes around...

We're talking the Terminator, and James Cameron's desire to make another film in the franchise, in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Cameron has the rights to his films, and far be it from us to argue with the billion dollar-making director, but do we really need another one of these so soon? We discuss...

We're talking Hardee's (aka Carl's Jr.) and their Duke's Gold Chicken Sandwich in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. The two Mikes hit their local Hardee's to see how the restaurants fare, both with this chicken sandwich and in general. The results might surprise you since they totally surprised us...

We're talking Thunderbolts*, Marvel's Phase V-ending crossover hero event, in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. This is probably the first good, true Marvel film we've had in years, but is it good enough to save the MCU? We discuss...

We're talking The Fly, the 1986 body horror masterpiece, in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Created by David Cronenberg, this film not only improves on the 1950s original, but is just a damn fine piece of horror cinema. We discuss it, and a lot more.

We're talking Arby's Quarter Pound Brisket Sandwich in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Done as a collaboration between Arby's and AC Barbeque, the sandwich was utterly disappointing, but the sauce... well... come in to find out.

We're talking Sinners, Ryan Coogler's 2025 Southern Black vampire film, in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Sinners came out a couple of months ago to rave reviews, and there's good reason for it too: the movie is incredible. We discuss it in detail...

We're talking the 2025 Wolf Man films in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Universal desperately wants to kick start their Monsters line for a modern era. This film is absolutely not the way to do it...

We're talking the Rambo films in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Sylvester Stallone had a winner with the first first Rambo film, First Blood, but every film since has managed to lose more and more of what made the character interesting...

We're talking Highlander 1 & 2 in a special Mini-Episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. These movies have a great concept but, between them, can't manage to tell a coherent narrative. And it only gets worse as the film series goes on.

We're talking the Amazon purchase of James Bond in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. EON Productions got paid a lot of money and now Amazon controls the 007 franchise. What does this mean for new movies, shows, and much more? We discuss...

We're talking the 1998 film Rounders in a special Mini-Episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. This fantastic movie came out nearly 30 years ago, and since both of us on the 'cast are fans, we wanted to talk about it for a bit. It's a great movie. Go watch it.

We're talking The Monkey in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. The new adaptation of a Stephen King work takes a number of big swerves from the source material, and from expectations, and we take a look at if it actually works (or not).

We're talking the two Nintendo Direct presentations to showcase the Nintendo Switch in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Nintendo showed off a lot of features, and a lot of games, but the biggest thing about the console may be its downfall: it's price. We discuss it all.

We're talking casting for Avengers: Doomsday in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Marvel released their cast list in the weirdest way possible, via a long video of empty chairs. But with list in hand we look at who is confirmed for the film, who isn't, and try to decide if we even care.

We're talking Heart Eyes in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. This Slasher / Rom-Com mashup came out in time for Valentine's Day but failed to impress audiences or critics. We take a look at why...

We're talking the Nintendo 64 in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. With a list supplied ("borrowed") from IGN, we take a look at a top 10 ranking of the best N64 games and see if we agree with the decisions made.

We're talking Mission: Impossible: The Final Reckoning in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. The trailer for the film came out, but with M:I's prospects looking bleak, we look back on this franchise and try to figure out if it even has a future at all.

We're talking Captain America: Brave New World in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. The new Cap movie came out, and what some hoped would be a big reset for the MCU ended up kind of a flop. So what happened, and why did it fail so hard? We discuss.

We're talking Alien Romulus in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. The interquel / reboot / side-story for the franchise came and went, doing decent numbers but getting lambasted by critics. We take a look back at it to see if it really was that bad. Spoilers: it was.

We're talking the Sega Genesis in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. With a list of the best games in hand, two Nintendo fanboys do their best to gush about the best games of the 16-bit Sega era. Also, bonus content: Sega Master System.

We're talking the Candyman in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Having finally watched the 2021 reboot/sequel, which is excellent, we discuss what the film does, how it relates to the original movie, and why the sequels are awful.
