Can You Confirm That?

It's a new year and we have a new outlook (at least we did for the first 5 days). One of our favorite shows from last year, Cobra Kai, had its third season release on Netflix and we jumped right into it! Tune in to hear how much we loved or hated it - you'll have to listen to know, or sweep the leg! Enjoy our (mostly) spoiler-free review of Cobra Kai and whether you should invest your time in it or just let us tell you about it. 

Excuse the Bad Audio from 32:06-42:32 please - it gets better...it's a Cobra Kai curse.

Learn all about the history of Saint Nicholas of Baki, the Turkish Bishop that inspired our modern-day Santa Claus. This man who was born in 280 A.D. lived such an interesting life and who would notice if John embellished a little?!

Have you ever seen "Here Comes Santa Claus?" If you want to picture John in your head when he's speaking, picture that claymation Santa. The boys discuss their favourite Christmas Movies and family traditions, and end with the infamous ideal dinner party conversation. We hope you enjoy our Christmas Special and you and your loved ones have a wonderful holiday however you celebrate.

Well, Disney had its annual Investor's Day on December 10th hosted by Bob Chapele (CEO) and Bob Iger (Executive Chair/Chairman of the Board). They use this event as a way to speak to stakeholders about how the company is doing and upcoming projects including media line-up, television and theatrical releases and news. 

The boys chat about TV for Disney+ and theatrical releases under the LucasFilm, Disney and Marvel umbrellas. 

In other news, one of the most anticipated video games of the last decade was released to major challenges - hard to live up to the hype. That's why we're sneaking out these podcasts without any hype.

Then the boys get into a discussion about Aliens, and where they've been living (Atlantis) and how they can help unify us. They also try really hard to make this sound like something that QAnon wouldn't agree with because it is full of "facts"... Oh wait. We're part of the problem.

Moving through to the Marvel Podcasts relaunch and who they seem to be for.  John asks if anyone is watching Utopia and G wonders in his old age if it's too violent to be enjoyable? 

Then go on a ride to Gotham in your favourite Batmobile and listen to John cast the Batman movie of his dreams all the while G mocks him the whole to bring him back to reality. John takes it back to the 90's again and G goes on to explain why Trump wasn't a failure.
