This week, Alex is joined by a massive "Pod Party" of Marvel Snap creators to celebrate the launch of Draft Mode! Bynx, SuperTechGod, and itsGuestGaming are all here to break down the highly anticipated feature, discussing how it levels the playing field for free-to-play gamers and encourages wild, selfish deck-building with insane new Augments.The crew shares their favorite first-impression Draft combos—including Alex's completely broken 0-Cost Kitty Pryde generation loop—and they debate whether releasing Draft as a Limited Time Game Mode is a smart move by Second Dinner. Plus, STG pitches an incredible idea to fix Conquest Mode by adding "All-In" Turn 1 snaps and respawn tickets!Finally, the hosts review the newest card releases:Hellcow: Is this end-of-turn 0-Power destroyer a massive skip, or a sneaky combo piece for Nova, The Hood, and Clog decks?Red Hulk (Fractured Frontier): Why Bynx thinks this 3-Cost Quick Draw scaler is a 4.5-star powerhouse that will single-handedly make Doctor Octopus a meta staple.Join Alex Coccia and special guests Bynx, SuperTechGod, and itsGuestGaming as they chat about this and more on this episode of The Snap Chat—and catch Cozy and Alex every week as they discuss all things Marvel Snap.Have a question or comment for Cozy and Alex?

Send us Fan MailTo prepare for our next episode of Under the Silver Lake, we go back and revisit our discussion on It Follows. Still trash by the way....A monster that follows you forever is a killer premise. The problem is when the movie can't decide what its own rules are. We spend this whole chat arguing about *It Follows* like two people trapped in a car with the doors open, because once we start pulling on the thread, everything from the lighting to the pacing to the “timeless” props becomes part of the case for the prosecution and the defense.We walk through the story beat by beat: the opening beach nightmare, Jay's curse, the explanation scene, the cabin attempts, and the pool finale that tries to turn a supernatural threat into an electrical engineering project. Along the way we dig into horror movie logic, internal consistency, and why “always coming for you” stops being scary if the entity pauses to pose for cool shots. We also talk about how the film echoes classic slashers like *Halloween*, and why borrowing a vibe is not the same as earning tension.Then we hit the bigger question people love to debate: is *It Follows* an STD allegory, and if so, what is it actually asking you to do? If the only way to buy time is to pass it on, the story flirts with a moral problem it rarely confronts directly, and that's where we get stuck arguing. After the hate-watch, we cool down with what we're enjoying this week, including *The Sinner* and the game *Marvel Snap*, plus a quick rant detour into *Halloween Ends*. If you're into horror film analysis, funny movie reviews, and unfiltered takes, subscribe, share the episode, and leave a review. What rule in a horror movie matters most to you?Be our friend!Dan: @shakybaconTony: @tonydczechAnd follow the podcast on IG: @hatewatchingDAT

The hosts break down the insane skill expression, the power of Quick Draw triggers, and the incredible synergy with the newly buffed 3/6 Crystal.Jane Foster (Fractured Frontier): A powerhouse 3-Drop with a massive ceiling (3/12), but Binks vents about the frustrating RNG of her targeted buffs.Psylocke (Fractured Frontier): Why this high-ceiling cost-reducer is currently being jammed into the wrong decks, and how she could revolutionize Ramp and Combo archetypes.Red Wolf: Is this new 2/1 scaler the next Chamber?

Welcome back to New Dad Gaming! This week, Trevor and Jeff are surviving the wild energy of their kids—who are currently acting like Red Bull-fueled boars at a banquet. With the family adjusting to life down in Medellín, the guys discuss bribing the kids with $100 to learn Spanish on Duolingo and how this educational "loophole" is racking up screen time. We also dive into the beautiful peace of a post-Roblox household, which has led the kids right back to the classics like Pokémon Sword and EA FC. On the adult gaming front, Nintendo is testing our patience (and wallets) by charging a premium for retro Pokémon Fire Red ports, Trevor confesses to a slightly guilty relapse into Marvel Snap, Jeff returns to the Final Fantasy 14 grind, and we confront the terrifying reality of a 15-year-old pirating Balatro on school computers.
