Two life-long nerdy friends (Monty Eich and Robb Blum) argue the philosophical questions of pop culture.
We hear great thinks about that show/movie... We probably would love it but for some reason we haven't watched it. This episode will no doubt be maddening to you.
There was a TV show. They can make a TV out of anything. Anyway we talk about the best of the best.
Looking to cash in on an already developed IP with a loyal fan base? What to see the same characters you grew up with unshackled by language or budgets? Why not turn that Television Show into a Movie?

Look everybody needs to eat, so everybody has to make a living doing something- but some super heroes have the most ridiculous jobs. Sure there are more than a few rich orphans, but there's also a few blue collar schmoes too!
They cast that guy as him? Wait what, how can that gal play her? They were just not right... We talk Miscasts, the wrong actor for the role. Spoilers: we shit on Batman and Robin.
We look at 2 of the most loved swingers in all of comics. Each the face of their prospective companies. But who really has the better franchise here?
You know the old yarn, Hollywood takes something from your childhood, fills it full of Tequila and then makes it do awful, terrible things. He look some times an update is great, (looking at you, the Office) but this episode are about the greenish chunks in Hollywoods Regurgitation.
Robb surprises Monty with an ask: Who is your Stand-Up Comedy heroes? The Mt. Rushmore of Stand-Ups according to one, silly man.
Look sometimes you like one thing and you like another and you want them both at the same time. Like a show about Luke Skywalker train reluctant Jedis, AND a show kinda about Boba Fett. It's a crossover baby! The Disney channel does so why cant we?
The inventor of the Summer Blockbuster? One of the most culturally relevant auteur in film? Guy who roasts Nazis? Little Stevey Spielberg gets his own tournament, and boy howdy do we get almost everything wrong.
A very special holiday episode! Movies, Episodes and Specials- its our favorite Holiday-themed things to watch! On Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Richard Donner, Wolf Blitzer, Dot Comet and OKCupid!
Robb and Monty are joined by Tim to create some super hero mash ups! It's a lot of BAD puns!
To celebrate 69 episodes, because Robb is a 12yr old, we are doing about 30 micro debates and hot takes on subjects. Will you like this or will you just want to move on to the main event because it's uncomfortable and you can't breathe?
Ever really get into a show, get invested, care about the characters or can't wait to unravel the plot and then hear some D-bag exec from Fox has pulled the plug? Yeah us too.
Remember in the first episode when we debated if the droids in Star Wars were Alive? Well in this one we look at our favorite Robots from pop culture... and we leave some big names off the list!

He or she may be the one literally in front singing, or they may be the biggest personality or performer on the stage. This is the leader of the band, but for sure a part of a band.
Listener suggested! We cross the goal line and score a home dunk with this triple crown winner of a match! Nothing is left on the pitch and we sink the 9 ball in the corner basket!
He we did a Facebook live discussion about those black clad assassins from Japan. We tossed the shurikens around before throwing down a pepper filled egg shell and made our escape.
Look sometime we need to show that our hero is training, making progress or that time is passing and growth is occurring... other time we need to show that the house is being painted or that the concert is being set up. A small series of clips set to music. We talk about them.
Did you spend a couple of days watching the Snyder Cut of Justice League? Robb and Monty did and they are ready to say what they liked and disliked about the prodigal director's return!
Car chases? Fight scenes? Dogfights? Acrobatic Swashbuckling? The action sequence is the heart of the popcorn movie and Robb and Monty break down their favorites!
Hey have you been stuck inside because of the cold, the snow or the global health crisis? Maybe it's time to pull out a board game and roll some dice or pop a bubble or spin spinner-- you get the idea!
SPOILER We talk about the end of Mandalorian Season 2, so watch that first. We talk about Disney's plans for the future.
We each give our top five favorite Cartoon theme Songs! Now we left out Transformers, GI Joe and He-Man and those without words... so maybe this isn't you won't like the top choice but hey its better that what we had for the last 4 years... wait... Cartoons. Its cartoon themes. COPYRIGHTS held by their OWNERS.
From 64, to 32, to 16 to 8 and Now 4, 2 and 1! We crown our Champion! Will it be Marvel or DC? Will it be a classic from our youth? A mainstream success? An Oscar winner? A new take on a western or a Cultural touchstone?
We tear through the sweet 16, making tough choices and no doubt raising more ire with the listeners. Will DC be shut out of the final 4? Will we manage to piss everyone else off? Is Wakanda forever?
Tough rounds last time, but we continue with our next round- 32 movies battle it out out, when its over only 16 will remain! Grab your popcorn and prepare to argue with yourself as you listen at work while you look over a spreadsheet!

First of all, get out and vote! Second of all, since we've been living in a satire of our country for 4 years we thought we'd look at Fictional Presidents.
Okay. Obscure is a relative term, but these characters haven't seen much mainstream love, and we'd like to give them the BIG MOVIE or the Hot New Series treatment.
The only thing good about 2020 has been the Mandalorian at the start and the second Season coming in mere weeks. Since Disney wants our money, Robb and Monty talk about what would make us spend it.
Let me tell you something brother, this episode will take you off the turnbuckle into a suplex and body slam you off the top rope. We talk our favorite Babies and Heels from the golden age of pro-wrestling the 80's and 90's. We talk our favorite characters and gimmicks!
Look, Kermit and Piggy steal all the spotlight- what about the rest? What Muppet is the sleeper- the one that brings the most joy without getting the most love? We shove our fists into this question and go elbow deep... wow that got real weird.
Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong, Burger Time, Dig-Dug... sure these are all good- but what about our favorites? Spoiler Robb is right this time because he agrees with Monty!
We talked dous, great teams, now it's rivals. From frenemies to actual enemies, from comic books and pop culture to the world of sports we look at diametrically opposed individuals!
The Buffoon and the straight man, the brains and the brawn, the strategist and the hot-head, the fastidious one and the slob. We talk duos and delve into the archetypes of great pairing in this one.
Dick Grayson, orphaned Circus owner and former policeman. Steven Rogers, Army reject and comic book artist. Both these characters have lead Superhero teams, Nightwing as leader of the Teen Titans, and Captan America leading the Avengers. But which one of these legendary heroes is the better leader?
We talk seminal superhero movies... Christopher Reeve and Michael Keaton... Donner and Burton... We battle this one out, which movie is better? Which movie holds up? Turns out both of them were executive produced by Martha.

"I'll be back." "Never tell me the odds." "Here's looking at you kid." Sometimes they come after a grizzly death, sometimes they are a comic release in a tense moment. And sometimes they replace awkward moments between to old friends.
You know we love the toys, but now thanks to Hasbro releasing the entirety of the beloved 80s cartoon on YouTube we are talking about our favorite episodes! We talk funny ones, serious ones and a lot about Sgt. Effing Slaughter.
Look y'all its like we're living in a sci-fi movie right now- we're all quarantined --- ITS CRAZY. So Robb and MOnty talk Plagues from movies, books and comics. Which one are we in right now?
Last week time we explored jumping characters into the future, now were talking properties that have done it! And yes, OF COURSE we talk Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century... (duh).
It's more than a sequel, it's a revisit of a character with new perspective (one brought by age.) Monty & Robb talk TV shows or characters that deserve that revisit. So get ready for rusty protagonists, paradigm shifts and darker takes.
Creators- weather they be writers, directors or artists develop strong fandoms and followings. Some deserve and some don't. In this episode we bounce around a few names of folks that have a lot of fans, but in our minds they aint that great.
