Superfights!

This week on Superfights, Josiah finally reveals his true gamer self! He is joined by Chicago comedian, improviser, and writer (as well as fellow gamer) Tyler Malec, as they discuss characters near and dear to their hearts: Genji, the tragic cyborg ninja, vs. Link, the hero of time! Who would win if they fought?? Hot on the tail of E3 and Overwatch's one year anniversary, Josiah and Tyler put their true gamer hats on and discuss all things Overwatch and Legend of Zelda and also somehow get on the topic of anime and shipping just for a little bit! Come for the fights, stay for the shipping. Special thanks to Clare Austen-Smith for the Superfights artwork and to Casey and Janae Kreines for the Superfights theme music!

Wonder Woman has a movie coming out!!! In preparation and celebration for the first female led superhero movie, Josiah has actor, comedian, and cat enthusiast (and superhero in her own right)Alex Richmond on the podcast! Josiah and Alex talk about who would win if Wonder Woman and Iron Man fought and, no spoilers, but they come up with a preeeeetty sweet fan fiction about Wonder Woman, Iron Man, and Captain America as WWII...you know what, I said no spoilers. Just listen to the end to find out! Come for the punching, stay for the discussions on feminism and representation of minority groups in media and how important it is.

Josiah and his guest this week, Chicago improviser and comedian Mike Gospel, talk for a full 15 minutes before they even mention this week's matchup, because they are two huge nerds with the attention span of small rodents. The nerdy bar keeps getting raised this episode, as they come up with a strangely intriguing story for how a young Anakin Skywalker would meet a young Luke Skywalker, and who would win in the ensuing fight. Here's a hint: it involves clones. WHOA. Told you the nerdy bar just kept getting raised! Come for some "hot takes" on the prequels, stay for the stats of fictional space vehicles.

This matchup may not be made of rice, but it sure is a Chris P. treat! See, that's the joke Josiah, host of this ostensibly comedy podcast, COULD have made, but didn't. Josiah is joined this episode by his (possibly) old(est) friend and traveling musician and missionary, Ben Venable. They discuss who would win in a battle between Starlord and Captain Kirk, the Chris Pratt and Chris Pine versions, respectively. Come for the hunk off between the two hunkiest of space cowboys, and stay for the plethora of inside jokes that come from knowing someone for over a decade.

It's tragic backstory vs. tragic backstory this week on Superfights! Join your host Josiah and his dear pal and guest, the incomparably funny improviser and comedian Christine Wines, as they discuss who would win in a battle of untapped potential. Will David from FX's Legion win with his boundless power and multiple psyches? Or will Eleven from Stranger Things win with her childlike wonder and barely bridled rage? Tune in for our answer, as well as some hot takes on Tim Allen, that Justice League trailer, and Hulu's stupid ad policies.

Your intrepid host took a little vacation home this week. As such, Josiah is joined by a very special guest: his brother, Joel! This week in the arena, Josiah and Joel break down who would win in a battle of wits between the Tenth Doctor, armed only with his sonic screwdriver and accompanied only by his companion Donna, and Captain Jean-Luc Picard, with the entire starship Enterprise and crew at his command. Along the way, the boys come up with some really good fan fiction, Josiah debuts some terrible impressions, and together they devise the parameters for what might be the world's first battle of compassion!

The Black Ranger (Zack Taylor) vs. the Blue Ranger (Billy Cranston). Who would win? The nebbish but brilliant Billy has his work cut out for him against the always positive and ALWAYS dancing Zack in the Superfights Arena this week. Your host Josiah Robinson is joined by Chicago comedian Damon Royster as they pit the arts against the sciences in this fight to the finish. You might actually grow as a person this episode as well, as they get surprisingly deep into topics like race and sexuality. But they also talk about which Ranger would punch better, don't worry.
