🎬 64 FRANCHISES. 4 REGIONS. ONE FINAL FOUR.

Tonight on Canon Fodder, Jeff and Stephen enter the most dangerous kind of tournament: one where everyone thinks their favorite franchise deserves to survive.

Movies. TV. Games. Superheroes. Sci-fi. Horror. Comedy. Giant cultural institutions that have absolutely no business being compared to each other… which is exactly why we’re doing it.

We’ve built a 64-franchise bracket, and we’re working through all four regions LIVE, matchup by matchup, until only the Final Four remain.

Expect impossible choices, passionate arguments, questionable logic, painful eliminations, and at least one matchup that may have been created specifically to cause emotional distress.

And if Jeff and Stephen can’t agree? We have a tiebreaker.

No ultimate champion tonight. We stop when we reach the Final Four — because some arguments deserve their own episode.

Join us live, make your picks in the chat, and tell us exactly how wrong we are.

We are back, and this time...there's more.  Beginning with episode sixteen, your Canon Fodder crew will be streaming each episode live on YouTube (despite all of Jeff's many misgivings). We will still post each episode weekly on your favorite podcast feed, but...if you, for some reason, also want to see and interact with us, here's how: https://www.youtube.com/@therealcanonfodder

A quick apology, in this episode, due to some technical difficulties the first few minutes have a slight reverb which is fairly quickly fixed. Be prepared to hear twice the Jeff as usual for one or two minutes.

Speaking of this episode, we touch on everything scary. Stephen is not a horror fan, Jeff is. The two of them decide what works, what doesn't, and play America's favorite game: Canon or Fodder.

Welcome back for a special episode with a real live rock star! On this episode, Jeff welcomes Craig Banister (The Lasting Hope, Quarantined) to the discussion on Stephen King and his impact on the world of literature. The highlight, of course, is the rousing game of "Would you rather...now what would you do," as we place Craig in the heart of some of the most iconic Stephen King stories.

This episode is so packed, it's led to our first ever two-parter! I'll pause, while you cheer. *brief pause* Thank you. We are back, and we are LOOKING back to our childhoods to talk nostalgia. In part one, we get into cartoons, TV, movies, and video games, plus, as always, current events. Part two will drop next week, as we pick up the topic of nostalgia by looking at the best (and worst) of remakes and reboots.

With Summerslam just around the corner, Jeff and Stephen discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly of the current era of WWE. But wait...there's more. From there, they give their Summerslam predictions, favorite all-time matches, and...they create the perfect wrestler. Don't worry, non-wrestling fans, as always, they hit current events up top!

Stephen is back! The world is once again right on its axis, as Stephen returns to co-host our Genre discussion with Jeff Ackenback. At the top, we discuss some current events, then break into an educational smorgasbord about the four genres most important to us. Things wrap up with a very well-planned-out and not at all strange Genre Draft.

Stephen is (almost) back. Keep looking for (and especially bothering) him, anywhere and everywhere you can! In the meantime, we have (hopefully) one more solo episode with Jeff Ackenback to fill the aching gap. This week, Jeff reviews a fairly new book, Dead but Dreaming of Electric Sheep by Paul Tremblay. No spoilers, so no worries. If you have books, movies, TV shows, or video games you'd like to hear reviewed...or you have literally anything else to share, ask, or scream...e-mail us at [email protected].

P.S. New podcasting software, better sound...but same voice.
