The Wicked Theory Podcast

We're back to cover the year in pop, as we saw it! Some great, some not! And then we contemplate the future! Strange New Worlds, The Batman, Weird, Superman and Lois, Lalo drops by Saul, Barry, Black Adam, The 355, Obi-Wan, Secrets of Dumbledore, House of the dragon, The Bear, Andor, Severance, She-hulk, Moon knight, Tulsa king

What is this? An episode? How long has it been? Regardless, Bill and Ed talk about movies they recently saw but were not recently released, The Thing And G.I. Joe: The Movie. Want more? Let Bill know on twitter @wickedtheory

Ed O'Hare is my guest for episode 209 and we didn't make a single Robocop joke? Sorry to let you down with that, but I did get to the root of his war with dogs, he took a solid stance on kids working in factories, he helped me define "Plaxon", he also opened up about the horrors he endured as a Boy Scout and yes folks, he survived Lightning Round!

The rules still remain the same: no sport, no politics, no math. But some other things have changed, like, this is now a Guest Based show!? Yes. And Grant Markham is the first! You should know him from many podcasts, including Seven Days A Geek and The Stranger Conversations. Look, the whole point of this is You Don't Need To Know Him, You Have ME! But I'll introduce you, I guess. You'll learn about that hair on his face, how he handles my awkward questions, learn if he would sacrifice his limbs to save space aliens, find out how he defines SKURDLE, TWIZEN and TUNGLE, and of course, take witness as he gets struck by Lightning Round. Find Grant on Twitter @Insta_Grants2 Find me there too @WickedTheory

Just in time for the spooky season, this episode features our instant classic "A "Reading" Of The Raven"! And it also has the details about the NEW iteration of this podcast, launching November 11th! (New Format. Same Rules. More Fun.) So if you've heard our "The Raven" bit before you can skip it (but why would you want to?) and jump to 11:22 and get the info about the upcoming reboot!

We're back to play catch up and to talk about Joker! We cover some recent TV and movies and then get into reviewing JOKER! Is it a "Masterpiece"? Is it something less than great? We also get into a bunch of stuff about audience reactions and expectations, controversies and some other related stuff. There's ALWAYS other stuff. Jay was in it as a extra and gives a little peek into that experience! Joker review/discussion starts at 35:30

Agent Palmer joins Bill to talk about some things! We do some SDCC rundown, we talk some shows worth watching right now, and Bill asks some Awkward Questions! Will it be Poop or Parents?

Look who’s back! It’s “Uncle Jay”! Bill plays catch-up with the aspiring actor, movie obsessive, and recovering madman. After covering his recent projects they slip into news, reviews and previews, where they cover a lot of recent pop culture stuff rapid fire: Brightburn, Avengers: Endgame, Godzilla: King Of Monsters, The Inhumans, The Eternals, Rambo: Last Blood, Batman casting, Tarantino's Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Dark Tower, Star Wars, Shazam, Pet Sematary, and they wrap up with Game Of Thrones. There’s some spoiler-ish stuff for some of these things, with zero warnings in the moment. Sorry. It happens. Don’t hate us. Well, you can… but not for that. Surely there are better reasons. This is The Wicked Theory Podcast, and for that, we apologize. Follow the guys on twitter: Bill (@WickedTheory) Jay (@UncleJaysThing) and Provisional Remote Assistant Producer @AgentPalmer

Welcome to an evolving show! This time Bill is talking with his pal Agent Palmer who has never seen The Matrix - UNTIL NOW?! Well, they both watched it and breakdown his reactions and impressions of the twenty year old classic! They get into what does and doesn’t hold up, the impression it’s made on everything that came after it, and everything it lifts from? Plus, how did this movie even “slip by” him? This is The Wicked Theory Podcast, and for that, we apologize. But thanks for listening! Follow the guys on twitter: Bill (@WickedTheory) @AgentPalmer Still bored?

Bill is back and he brought Ed with him for an Avengers: Endgame Spoiler Review! The highs, the lows, who lives, who dies? Where does this leave The Marvel cinematic universe? Review starts around the 11 minute mark, before that Bill covers the future of this podcast!

This week we celebrate episode 200 with the long avoided ROAST OF BILL! The dais was filled by Jay, Bob, Ed plus Agent Palmer and Stef! Oh, and John Zombie was there too. The first half is a raucous good time patting ourselves on the back for reaching 200 and we get into the Roast Itself and around 41 minutes. But DON'T skip ahead because Palmer and Stef take what should be an easy nerd quiz in the beginning!
