This week, Barry and Movie Guy Rob Pete head to the theater for Supergirl, one of the most talked-about superhero movies of the year.

With expectations high and box office numbers falling short, the question is simple: did audiences get this one wrong?

The guys discuss the film's biggest surprises, Jason Momoa's debut as Lobo, Krypto's scene-stealing moments, how closely the movie follows Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, and whether this new chapter in DC Studios points to a brighter future.

Plus, Jason asks the questions every casual movie fan is thinking, leading to another fun, spoiler-light conversation about the latest superhero blockbuster.

Barry takes us inside his very first FIFA World Cup match, and it's an experience he'll never forget.

From joining thousands of German supporters marching through downtown Toronto to navigating the excitement, nerves, and unforgettable atmosphere inside the stadium, this episode captures what makes the World Cup unlike any other sporting event.

Along the way, Jason asks the questions every non-soccer fan is thinking, Barry relives Germany's dramatic late victory over Ivory Coast, and together they explore why the World Cup is about so much more than ninety minutes on the pitch.

Whether you're a lifelong football supporter or someone who's never watched a match, this episode is about the joy of live events, shared experiences, and why the Beautiful Game earns its name.

Movie Guy Rob Peets returns for a packed episode featuring reviews of two very different films.

First, we head into the unsettling world of Backrooms, the internet phenomenon transformed into a surprisingly effective horror movie by teenage creator Kane Parsons.

Then we dive into Disclosure Day, Steven Spielberg's latest sci-fi outing involving alien secrets, government conspiracies, and a message that may divide audiences.

Along the way, we debate Spielberg's legacy, discuss the evolution of internet storytelling, and somehow end up talking about frightened turtles and discount furniture stores.

Grab some popcorn. It's a double feature.

Barry heads to Meridian Hall for an evening with Penn & Teller and comes away thoroughly entertained.

We talk about the comedy, the audience participation, and the magic tricks that left us completely baffled. Along the way, we get into the psychology of aisle seats, navigating Toronto's packed Do West Festival, and the growing excitement surrounding the World Cup.

From mind-reading and mystery to soccer and street festivals, this episode covers a little bit of everything while reminding us that sometimes it's okay not to know how the trick works.

The World Cup is almost here, and Barry is preparing for a front-row seat to the action as Toronto gets ready to welcome fans from around the globe.

We talk about what it's like living in the middle of a host city, attending a World Cup match, the quirks of soccer's rules, and why this tournament captures the attention of billions of people every four years.

From special access passes to Germany vs. Ivory Coast, this episode is all about the excitement, anticipation, and spectacle of the world's biggest sporting event.

Barry and Movie Guy Rob Peets head to the theatre for The Mandalorian & Grogu and break down whether Star Wars’ return to the big screen was worth the wait.

We get into the IMAX 3D experience, the action, Grogu’s role in the story, some surprising new characters, and whether this felt like a true movie… or just an extended version of the series.

Plus a few hot takes along the way.

This episode covers a little bit of everything.

We talk Star Trek trilogies hidden inside larger franchises, supporting our friend Laurie Carruthers at her sold-out Toronto theatre show, and the unique experience of sitting front row in a very intimate venue.

From there, the conversation drifts into Star Wars, home gyms, pre-workout drinks, getting older, and trying to stay in shape without completely losing the plot.

One of those episodes where the conversation just keeps evolving.

We start with Spotify’s all-time listening stats—how long we’ve really been on the platform, what we keep coming back to, and how the AI DJ actually holds up.

Then it’s into 4K Corner, where Welcome to Derry delivers a full-on immersive experience, from visuals to sound.

We also get into a risky 4K purchase debate (Blue Thunder), a couple of final shots, and the usual back-and-forth along the way.

One of those episodes that covers more ground than expected.

This one is just pure fun.

From a trip to Casa Loma and movie scenes filmed in Toronto, to a strange headline about magic mushrooms and behavior change, the conversation goes in all kinds of directions.

We also touch on a few updates, some movie talk, and just let things unfold.

One of those episodes you just roll with.
