465: WrestleMania 39 Preview

3/27/2023
It’s that time of the year, where once again, WWE takes over a city, and a week-long pro wrestling mecca is formed. This time, WrestleMania Goes Hollywood, as WWE invades Los Angeles! WrestleMania 39 seems to be set for an amazing post-pandemic / post-VKM comeback for WWE. Sure, not every match on the show seems like it will be a banger. But one thing is for sure – The Bloodline stories are set to dominate the weekend. As the main event, we have quintessential sports entertainer Cody Rhodes, making his big push for the big title against the Head of the Table, Roman Reigns. Some were skeptical after the Royal Rumble wins, but the booking and promos in recent months have cemented this feud as one for the history books. Will Cody do it? The other big match intertwined in this story is The Usos defending their tag team championships against Kevin Owens and former Honorary Uce, Sami Zayn. Will KO and SZ’s friendship prove to be the stronger force, or is there something nefarious looming, as has been known to happen to those two over the years? Join us on this episode as we break down those matches, and the rest of the card, as well as recap the night we had at the final RAW before Mania in Phoenix, Arizona! Featuring: ‘The Mayor of Reseda’ Derek (@cap_kaveman), ‘Uncle Beek’ Jeremey (@jaimsvanderbeek), ‘Super Jew’ Jared (@SuperJew75), G1 (@G1ToTheRescue), Rok (@Roknowledge), and ‘The Beast from the East Valley’ Darrell Johnson (@zazzumplop).

UNT 146: Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania

3/12/2023
That’s right, we have returned! Okay, it’s not from the Quantum Realm, but UNT is back to review Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania (brother). If you were wondering what S.U.P.E.R.J.E.W. stood for, why Cassie looks different or just how many holes we have, look no further as we dive ooze-first into our latest podcast, where we discuss the latest installment of the MCU. Was this movie as disappointing as the critics say? Or is it building to something with a rarely-seen nuance and subtlety not often present in the MCU? Will Kevin finally stop calling Bill Murray, and is Michelle Pfeiffer still white gold? To find out, kick back and exile yourself with us and the Dynasty of UNTs (no we didn’t leave out a letter). Hosted by: ‘Captain Boomerang’ Greig Tansley (@GreigT13).

464: Royal Rumble 2023 Preview

1/24/2023
The 2023 Royal Rumble is this Saturday… Join us as we preview the card! No matter the state of things in the world and WWE, the Rumble always delivers a fun time. Who do you have walking away with the WrestleMania title shot? Cody Rhodes? Jey Uso? The Rock? And on the women’s side, can anyone stop Rhea Ripley? And what sort of fun surprises are in store? Take some notes, make some prop bets, and crack a few beers this Saturday as it all goes down live on the ‘cock. On a more somber note, the wrestling world recently lost a prominent figure when Jay Briscoe suddenly passed away in a car accident last week. We do our part to remember him, just as AEW did this week on Dynamite. RIP, Jamin Pugh.

Just in time for the Holiday Season, we caught up with two recent additions to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Black Panther: Wakanda Forever & The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special!

UNT 144: She-Hulk: Attorney At Law

Get ready to smash through courtrooms and the fourth wall with our review of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. How does a single woman navigate life in the MCU as a courtroom lawyer, while dealing with her new Hulk powers? These are the questions raised by the latest Marvel show, that dared to be a little too comic book accurate for some folks. But also... Is it as bad as they say it is? Has it “ruined” the MCU? How much fourth wall breaking is too much? And which cameo was your favorite? Find out the answers to these (and many more) questions as we embark on our own mustard-and-ketchup walk of shame to review ­She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.

463: He's OUR Asshole

9/8/2022
Who the hell starts a press conference like that, anyway? YOU know what we're talking about. Man, a LOT has gone down since the last time we put out an episode. From the ousting of the old regime at WWE to AEW burning maybe a little too hot as of late. It really is a good time to be a wrestling fan, whether or not you're fully plugged into the behind-the-scenes nonsense that's been going on. We break down the mess that is CM Punk, Tony Khan's mixed bag of leadership, THE face of AEW (it's Mox), and the mega-return of mega-heel MJF. And so so much more. Bust out the muffins, y'all. It's podcasting time!

3/22/2022
We’re in that in-between space from AEW Revolution to WWE WrestleMania. AEW put on a heck of a show. WWE’s gonna do what they do. Overall, we’re still having fun, especially watching the likes of CM Punk, Bryan Danielson/Mox/Regal, Thunder Rosa, and Kevin Owens as they do their things. But with the fun, comes the real stuff too. We had to say goodbye to a childhood favorite in Scott Hall. And we saw a tragic accident occur with the beloved Big E (Langston.. we still put some respect on the name!). Join us as we find ourselves on the Road to WrestleMania (watch party, not the actual thing). RIP WrestleMania Road Trip. Long live the WrestleMania Road Trip!
