This week on the MalloryBros. podcast the Bros are back to start the new year off VIRTUALLY as Terrell's son has come down with a small sickness. Nonetheless, the Bros kick it off with a Weekend Recap to recap how they brought in the New Year together with their fiancé's, free of the kids. A huge part of the podcast today was the recent between TDE Grammy Award winning Artist Doechii's brewing beef with popular Streamer Adin Ross. The Bros talk in detail about the history leading up to the alleged beef and how things have really gone overboard. The Bros don't agree with Adin Ross' disrespect and feel he's overstepping because he feels comfortable enough to do so. Next the Bros talk about Streaming and its future with Hip Hop as in recent hears it's been a platform within the community. Next the Bros talk about the Awards Season starting up with Critics Choice awards. They discuss some winners and moments and muddle over what exactly we can expect this Awards season. Lastly, the Bros finish by making picks for this years NFL Playoff's Picture and make their picks for who they think will take it far this years postseason.

With a lull between Ohio State games, we look at all the various trophies and awards Buckeye players piled up with their performances throughout the 2025 season. We dive into the various All-Big Ten teams as well. Who was deserving? Who got snubbed? How the hell did Julian Sayin end up fourth on the Heisman list with numbers comparable to or better than the winner (even in the head-to-head meeting)? And furthermore, how did a receiver win the Biletnikoff Award without even winning the award for being the best receiver in his conference? That's another snub for Jeremiah Smith (and an egregious one — I didn't see Makai Lemon's name in the top 10 in Heisman Trophy voting). Following our walk through the postseason awards, we turned our attention to the coaching carousel. Former Ohio State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles only worked at Penn State for one season and is now headed to Tennessee. It's a bit ironic that his last outing before being hired by Tennessee was to give up 500+ yards to Greg Schiano's Rutgers Scarlet Knights. After all, Schiano was supposed to become the Vols' head coach until the fanbase pushed back hard against the choice.Mike Jacobs, who played for Ohio State on the offensive line in the late 1990s and early 2000s is the new head coach at Toledo. I can honestly say I don't remember him as a Buckeye, but now he's back in the Buckeye State and has a solid job in the MAC.Finally, we discussed the bizarre case of Sherrone Moore and the ongoing issues at Michigan. While Moore's wife and kids never asked to be put in this position, here they are. It may not be fair to them, but it will probably be some time before this matter is put to rest. The University of Michigan is investigating its athletic department's response to previous school scandals, and there doesn't seem to be a way for Warde Manuel to keep his job (nor should there be). We discuss the matter without getting into the salacious details or diving into reports and speculation, and perhaps the best plan forward for Ohio State's rival is to cut all ties with the Jim Harbaugh era and start fresh.We're taking next week off, but we'll be back on Dec. 30 to preview Ohio State's next opponent in the College Football Playoff. We'll be watching the Miami-Texas A&M game with great interest.We would love to hear from you, so please reach out with your feedback and questions below in the comments section or send us an email at silverbulletspod@gmail.com.

Also, some Buckeyes may have been honored in ways that didn't quite make sense.20:26 - Knowles moves on to Rocky Top and Mike Jacobs returns home to northwest Ohio.28:05 - The Sherrone Moore saga is odd and fascinating and sad.

It's that time of year - we begin to reflect on 2025 and celebrate the games we've been playing. Many platforms send a wrap-up of the year, and Nintendo Music has followed suit. Which tunes did we love in 2025? Plus it's awards season, with the Games Awards airing last week. Nintendo had a few nominations, which categories did they win? Who won overall? Plus, there were a TON of announcements, and we go through them all. 2025 was great, and 2026 is shaping up to be pretty amazing, too! We also delve into the latest news and the games we're playing. Enjoy the show.

Cher's boyfriend update + Melissa McCarthy's SNL flop! Kate Winslet speaks out on GLP-1 drugs and celebs show up big for the NFL — so yes, we accidentally talk sports (blame Taylor Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs). Awards Season is officially here: the biggest movies, buzziest nominees, and Leonardo DiCaprio's forever-young girlfriends. Plus: a surprising review of Jay Kelly and Taylor Swift's wedding date revealed. Our book rec is the The Murder Show by Matt Goldman and Heated Rivalry is still the hottest must-watch on HBO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Who says Awards Season has to be a dreary time at the movies, full of biopics and downer dramas? A24 has just the antidote to the perennial prestige pity pictures: David Freyne's new romantic comedy, Eternity! In this film's version of the afterlife, recently departed souls have one week to decide which themed paradise they want to spend eternity in. Turns out Joan (Elizabeth Olsen) has another tough choice to make: which of her dead husbands does she pick to be her forever partner? Larry (Miles Teller) was her husband and father to her children for 65 years. But her first spouse, Luke (Callum Turner), a dreamy military man who died in the Korean War, has waited decades to be reunited with her.If this bizarre premise (which also includes afterlife advocates and a special hallway where the dead can look in on their previous lives) sounds familiar, it should: Eternity is a thruple version of Albert Brooks' 1991 film, Defending Your Life.For guest host Cati Glidewell, this is a welcome update of an all-time-great comedy. For Ian, it's a shabby and insulting imitation.

It's been a big first week of December with no less than five sets of critics groups announcing winners and nominations as we kick off the next three months of nonstop awards season. On episode 318 I am joined by AwardsWatch Executive Editor Ryan McQuade and Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello to break down the awards landscape and more. Before we get into that we have to talk about the other huge piece of news this week and that was yesterday's announcement that Netflix had won the battle to buy Warner Bros and all of its properties, which includes the DC Universe films and HBO/HBO Max. Unsurprisingly, there is no one on the podcast thinks this move is a good idea and sees the Netflix model as intentionally destructive of the theatrical model. Next we move the Critics Choice Awards nominations, announced this morning, where Sinners and One Battle After Another lead the way, where Sentimental Value and Hamnet made comebacks and where Wicked: For Good faltered. Then it's onto the AFI and NBR lists, the New York Film Critics and the Gotham Awards, where Sophia gives her in the room insight of the event. This podcast runs 1h 18m You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music, YouTube and more. Music: "Modern Fashion" from AShamaleuvmusic (intro), "B-3" from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).
Awards Season continues with MATERIALISTS, where romance, rationalism, and self-sabotage collide in a story that proves chemistry isn't always scientific. Find out why bad casting, subversive writing, and stoic performances make Celine Song's sophomore effort worthy of discussin–and poking holes.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Denzember 2 kicks off with a conversation about Spike Lee and Denzel Washington's first collaboration, 1990's Mo' Better Blues, a film about jazz, art-making, and the pursuit of greatness at the expense of personal relationships. The terrific Minnie Zondi is our guest! We discuss the film's tepid reception upon release, and how a (predominantly white) critical audience failed to understand the political dimensions of a film about Black music and its commercial and social appropriation. Then, we reflect on Spike Lee's career and his brilliant cohort of collaborators, including composer Terence Blanchard (making his first appearance on a Spike Lee soundtrack), cinematographer Ernest R. Dickerson, and the electric stylings of costume designer Ruth E. Carter. Finally, we reflect on the movie's complicated ending, and what we're to make of its reflections on artistry, family, and whether exceptional talents can hold the two in balance.

Carter's costume work for Ryan Coogler's Sinners.Get access to the whole Denzember experience, all of our premium episodes and bonus content, and an invite to the Hit Factory Discord by becoming a Hit Factory Patron for just $5/month.....Our Denzember Theme Song is "Funk" by Oppo

John talks about Trump's Gaza Peace deal. The details are still being worked out, but the Awards Season campaign to get Trump a Nobel Peace Prize has kicked into high gear across right-wing news media and the MAGAsphere. Also, John says revenge is a full time job in Pam Bondi's DOJ. A Grand Jury took the bait and has indicted NY Attorney General Letitia James on one count of mortgage fraud, the latest political indictment from "The Enemies List". Then, he speaks with Monte Mader. She's a culture critic, musician, podcaster, and fitness professional whose transformation from conservative fundamentalism to fearless truth-teller has made her a powerful voice for cultural change. Monte's early life was steeped in Christian fundamentalism and conservative politics. She pursued theological studies in Israel and was immersed in environments that emphasized obedience and traditional gender roles. However, personal experiences and critical reflection led her to question and eventually deconstruct these belief systems. Check out her podcast "Flipping the Table" and support her on Patreon at MonteMader. And then, John chats with listeners on Pope Leo condemning economies that marginalize the poor while the wealthy live in a bubble of luxury. Plus, they talk about the latest update on the Epstein files and John's appearance in Chicago for his "Separation of Church and Hate" tour.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
