This documentary takes a light touch towards Satanic Temple founder Lucien Greaves and his collaborators as they navigate religious freedom cases and the spectacle of protest. John, Merritt, and Danielle went in on the filmmaking in the piece itself, the philosophy behind the Satanic Temple’s activism, and the use of particularly eye-catching iconography to make its points.

Horse crimes abound in this latest episode of Fanwidth. After that, though, the gang is ready to discuss some of the big news today: from the NFL license to Sega and VR games. Eventually we find the time to sneak in discussion of plenty of games, too! It's truly a jam packed episode as we all distract ourselves from the latest round of votes in the Democratic primary. But there's no distracting us from that horse... Seriously, that thing is messed up. Find out why on Fanwidth Episode 54!

We've got a lot to say about Nioh 2 on this special episode... That's because it's our Nioh 2 review! John and Steven sit down to discuss the Souls-like prequel by Team Ninja. What does the game do different than its predecessor? What does it do the same? And is this a good jumping on point for the genre, or just junk food for existing fans? Find out in our Nioh 2 review podcast!

Welcome again to the Fanfyte podcast, where MMA fan (and Fanbyte Senior Editor) and Pro Wrestling aficionado (and Fanfyte section head) LB Hunktears come together. This week, LB brought Darby Allin vs. Sammy Guevara, which resulted in so many shattered tables. Then, Danielle brought LB a real heartbreaker of a fight in UFC 245’s Uriah Faber vs. Petr Yan, spoiling some of the California Kid’s forward momentum in his “un-retirement.”

We have a very special treat this week. Thanks to John and Niki’s exposure to Playing with Fire on a cross-country flight after PAX, the crew decided to go ahead and do an episode on it. Join us for a discussion of this goofy, buck wild ride with John Cena as a Smoke Jumper (not your everyday firefighter!), and his buddies (including Keegan Michael Key and John Leguizamo) at a remote fire outpost. There are adorable moppets, there’s poop, there’s fire, and there are a whole lot of John Cena beefcake s

Danielle Riendeau and Nicholas Grayson sat down to chat about their time with Animal Crossing: New Horizons at PAX East 2020! The pair talks about new features, their hopes and dreams, and they ask a big question: What if Tim was one of us?

Your regular Fanwidth podcast crew is back again this week after a very, very long trip to PAX East. It's a short and pretty relaxed episode this week, as we let our brains recover from the absolute hell we put them through during the Boston show. As such, we talk about the ways in which we all decompress after a long business trip, the games we played, pets, and other things that make us happy! And we'll be back again next week with even more. Thanks for listening!

While Fanbyte Features and Trending Editor merritt k and Chief Liturgical Correspondent Eric Thurm did not have a guest today, they do have a ton to talk about in their recap of an action-packed episode of The New Pope. Lenny is back, baby, making for some major confusion at the Vatican. Fan favorite Gutierrez has a wonderful moment, and Voiello tells a certain someone off for their “uneasy somersaults” in one of the wildest moments of the season. 

Steven Strom sat down with John Warren to discuss Final Fantasy VII Remake, which John got to play for over three hours at a recent press event. This near-final build of the game has a lot the general public hasn't seen yet, so let's dive in!
