EP 139 - Grace and Leon's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

3/14/2026
"I'M GONNA SIT RIGHT HERE WITH YOU..." After the emotional and shocking ending of Resident Evil Village, many wondered where the franchise would go next, even more so who it would revolve around. What many did not expect was a pivot back to Raccoon City and the T-Virus through the eyes of newcomer Grace Ashcroft and veteran Leon Kennedy. This entry -- celebrating the series' 30th anniversary -- has already been hailed as a GOTY contender, but what do the boys think? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian dive into the horror, action, drama, and hilarity of RESIDENT EVIL REQUIEM!

EP 138 - Yeah Whatever Man (ft. @gwenstacying & @HeyGuysItSpidey)

3/1/2026
IT STARTS WITH "SORRY." Last November, the four of us gathered around to watch both seasons of one of the most popular adult animated shows currently running. We did not like it. We meant to talk about how we did not like it for the past three months. Also, Evangelion is back. Nothing works out the way you want it to, huh? Oh, well. Tune in as Alec, Brian, Darby, and Trey talk Yoko Taro's new NEON GENESIS EVANGELION series as well as their brutally honest thoughts on HAZBIN HOTEL!

NOTHING TO SEE HERE. THIS IS ALL MADE UP. Another two weeks apart, another news episode! As we wrap up the year and look to the next one, a lot has dropped in our laps.

So, tune in as Alec and Brian look back on the biggest December news, including SUPERGIRL, The Game Awards, John Cena's retirement, and definitely-not-trailer-leaks for AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY and SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY!

EP 135 - That Bird That I Hate

12/6/2025
HONOR DIED ON THE GINGKO TREE. After over five years of waiting -- and the most obvious headache-inducing reactionary grifting -- Sucker Punch's sequel to Ghost of Tsushima has finally released.

EP 132 - Congratulations (ft. @gwenstacying)

10/4/2025
"WHAT IS YOUR HEART FOR?" Thirty years ago today, a new anime premiered on television in Japan. One that seemed standard fare for the time, giant robots fighting giant monsters, etc. What no one really knew was that it would end up becoming one of the cornerstones of all of modern pop culture as we know it, one that's still analyzed to this day in its storytelling, themes, and artistry. Many people have taken their cracks at discussing it, and now it's our turn. So, tune in as Alec, Brian, and special guest Darby (@gwenstacying) celebrate the thirty year anniversary of NEON GENESIS EVANGELION by looking back on the series, The End of Evangelion, all the manga spinoffs, and even the rebuilds, and discussing what they all mean to them!

EP 130 - The Past and Present Spider-Man

8/30/2025
2008 ISN'T COMING BACK. A big growing sentiment in recent years has been the overall idea that Spider-Man as an IP is wrong nowadays and that whatever's going on currently is an invalid fad that doesn't matter and will fade away. We have thoughts on that. Tune in as Brian and Alec discuss recent news and the current state of the Web-Head -- and why he has changed drastically and permanently.

EP 124 - #DidTheGunnJam?

7/11/2025
"MAYBE THAT'S THE REAL PUNK ROCK." Well, guys, the promised day is here. After twelve years, numerous false starts, and the studio nearly washing its hands clean of the character altogether, we finally have a new movie about the man of tomorrow. James Gunn's first (let's be honest, genuine) foray into the new DCU has had a whole lot riding on it these past two and a half years since its announcement, and it's seemingly paid off thus far. However, as two fans of the big blue boy scout, what do we think about it? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian go all-in on characters, spoilers, and more as they discuss the movie Warner Bros. has bet everything on -- DC Studios' and James Gunn's SUPERMAN!

EP 123 - I Love You, Wife

7/5/2025
"YOU MADE ME HAPPY..." Silent Hill 2 is one of the crowning achievements of survival horror and video game storytelling, alongside being one of Brian's favorite games of all time. When it was first leaked and announced that a remake would be developed by Bloober Team, he, Alec, and many others feared the worst for the next two years. What nobody could've predicted was the game turning out as well as it did, reinvigorating interest in the franchise. So, all these years later, how does the tragedy of James and Mary Sunderland still hold up? Tune in to find out as Brian and Alec dive into recent news and their experiences playing what many call the best horror game of all time -- SILENT HILL 2!
