After the Credits

We made it to 100! Can you believe it?! Cause we can't! In this very special episode of After the Credits, the boys spill all their chunks. It's a Summer catch up extravaganza. All the movies, tv, and video games that have been piling up over the last few months finally get discussed. We have mini discussions of The Northman, Barry, Men, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, The Pentaverate, The Secrets of Dumbledore, The Lost City, 12 Minutes, The Outer Wilds, Lightyear, The Tainted Grail, and more! And Ryan takes us on an adventure across Europe, from London to Barcelona, Amsterdam to Paris, the food, the culture, the Sonic 2! Plus a chance to listen back at some of our treasured memories throughout the years as the boys select their favorite clips from past episodes (we're so so sorry). It's a trip down memory lane as we hit this major milestone. And to top it all off, we empty our mailbag with a few special foreign correspondances. 100 episodes of this? How did this happen?! You have only yourselves to blame.

We want to thank each and every one of you who have listened to our silly ramblings. We can't believe we've actually done 100 of these. We can't wait to discover what the next 100 have in store! Keep listening and we love you all! 

A dumb "podcast", huh? OK, try to imagine yourself in the Chunk Period. You get your first listen of this "movie review podcast" as you listen to the episode. It sounds like a podcast, lightly, bobbing along. And that's when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the side, from the other two chunks you didn't even know were there. Because the YumChunks are pack casters, you see, they use coordinated attack patterns and they are out in force today. And they slash at you with this...A six-decible recording, like a razor, in your ear. The point is, you are alive when they start to ramble at you. So you know, try to show a little respect...  in this episode of After the Credits! Ryan, Sean, and Chewie mess with things they shouldn't as they talk about airline cinema, catch up on all the new Star Trek from 2022, and splice a mini review of Top Gun: Maverick into this megolithic episode. But how do they fair when faced with giants locusts, clones, feather dinosaurs, a clown car of characters that don't get eaten by dinosaurs in this dinosaur movie, and the ultimate cinematic hubris of man, Jurassic World: Dominion? Will they survive the colossal mess that is the latest in the Jurassic franchise? Can they avoid a critical hate spiral? Will this film eat them alive? Eh, they just have to put their hands up, they'll be fine. They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should. And they really really shouldn't have.

Welcome to the Chunkverse. Hopping between podcasts, you will eventually end up here. It's a strange universe indeed, full of discussions about Stranger Things season 4, Tunic, robot book The New Breed, and American Crime Story. And Ryan is back from his voyages just in time to talk about Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness! Does Sam Raimi succeed at branding this dark, insane, MCU adventure with his own style? Jump into this corner of the multiverse to find out!

We got our chili dogs, we got our power sneakers, we've been rolling around at the speed of sound... YumChunks is ready! But wait, Ryan is still away and we need him- what are the guys to do? Don't worry, cause Sam Stovold from The Young Jedi Knights Club podcast is here to lift Chewie and Sean up just in the nick of time! In After the Credits Zone, Act I, they make sure the chunkfire is burning bright with some Trek talk, some mini reviews of Ambulance, The Adam Project, Lynch's '84 Dune, Everything, Everywhere, All at Once, and the latest Kirby game, Kirby and the Forgotten Land. In Act II, they navigate the highs and lows, the good the bad, and the fast and the slow of Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Does this kids' movie deliver on the best of the Sonic video games? Does it also include a weird wedding subplot with no relation to Sonic or his friends? Well, don't blink or you'll miss it. And congratulations- you found a bonus email stage! What crazy dimension is this?

YumChunks! (But imagine it's being sung like the Sega logo)

We want to suck your blooood. Cause we're vampires. Living vampires! Look at us fly around, with bats, and monster faces, and sharp teeth. OOoooOOOooo, YumChunks! About as much thought went into this intro as did the subject of this After the Credits episode. Sorry. But Sean and Matt are doing their best while being down a member of the YumChunks crew this week as Ryan is off galavanting around Europe. They warm themselves as best they can with some synthetic chunks around the fire as they discuss a few recent films from the last couple months, Death on the Nile, The Lost City, and Windfall, as well as some TV talk with Archive 81, and Our Flag Means Death. But that's not why you're here, you want that authentic stuff, the real blood. And don't worry, it's a feeding frenzy, as the boys pick apart the latest Sony Spider-verse-(sans Spider-man)-Venom-verse entry, Morbius. Were they able to find anything worth the effort in this empty vessel? Listen in to find out. And make sure you stay after the discussion for some more juicy listener email. Dr. YumChunks, at your service.

Fear is a tool. When the Chunk hits the net, it's not just a cast. It's a warning. For them. And for you, listeners. Cause in this episode of After the Credits, the guys are here to cleanse the streets of Castville with Justice. They won't back down from the corruption of their many enemies as they brawl with American Horror Story, investigate competitive reality TV, Is It Cake?, stalk our quick takes on Uncharted, and offer our hottest roundup of the 2022 Oscars. But they'll realize they need to become a symbol for hope as they dive into the latest big screen incarnation of the caped crusader, Matt Reeve's The Batman. Does this yet another Batman reboot offer anything new to the Gotham landscape? But wait- if you thought that was it, stick around for their greatest foe yet, as they discuss feedback in a monstrous listener email. Tune in and solve the riddle...

What's black and blue and dead all over?

YumChunks. The answer's YumChunks. Na na na na na na na na na, YUMCHUNKS!

We've been good all year, we made it home for the holidays, we've opened all our gifts, and now YumChunks gets to sit back and enjoy in the latest episode of After the Credits. In a very special Chunkfire, the boys share all their presents: shirts, books, barbecues, suitcases, returned VR headsets, duplicate copies of video games, water picks, sunglasses, gift cards, meat, and so much more! But the greatest gift of all, is the latest Marvel show on Disney+, Hawkeye. Does this six episode series deliver the fun, action, drama, AND Holiday cheer? Make those New Year's resolutions and tune in to find out. Cause we could do this all day!

Thank you for making 2021 an amazing year for After the Credits! Catch you in 2022! And don't forget to jump on over to our The Matrix Resurrections episode out now too! It's an end of 2021 ATC extravaganza!

We know why you're here, why you can't sleep, why you sit by your phone. You're looking for them. We know, because we were once looking for the same thing. But what you're really looking for is an answer. It's the question that drives us. What is YumChunks? Free your mind as After the Credits awakens you to the truth. The truth about The Witcher Season 2, about the Link's Awakening remake on the Switch, about the Jack Box Party Pack 8. But mostly about the return to the beloved groundbreaking action, sci-fi franchise in The Matrix Resurrections. Does this much later sequel come equipped with style and kung fu; do it's ideas, premises, and meta elements come through and make any sense? You'll have to take the red pill and follow us down this cast to find out. Because you can't be told what YumChunks is. You must experience it for yourself.

And don't forget to jump on over to our Hawkeye episode out now too! It's an end of 2021 ATC extravaganza! 

Twas the night before Christmas, as we finish up edits, the YumChunks are casting, on the latest After the Credits! Dancing in their heads were visions of Mario Sunshine and the OLED Switch, Licorice Pizza, Pen15, and Saturday Morning All Star Hits! But then what to their wondering eyes did appear, but Spider-Man: No Way Home at their local theatre! So listen in on the cheery festival of lights as the guys sing its praises for almost two and half hours. They dabble in some criticisms and questions, but ultimately, it's the gift that keeps on giving. They got exactly what they wanted! So hear us exclaim, as the podcast fades out, Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
