Chops TV

This week, we explore 'Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness' and go galaxy-brain with the implications of multiple realities and warring groups of ultra-intelligent cabals in the MCU, going forward. Plus, two guys named 'Benedict' in the same film? Madness.

This week, we invite Superfan Sean Brugger back to the show to discuss Disney+'s latest entry into the MCU, "Moon Knight." We get an in-depth history on the comic book protagonist and how he (they?) translated to the screen. Plus, Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke doing mushrooms?!

This week, we enter the bizarro-verse while discussing Judd Apatow's Netflix original film, 'The Bubble.' Marc laments the fall of a filmmaking great? Daniel endorses a comedy film? WHAT'S GOING ON?!

This week, we play a lightning round, of sorts, on the variety of topics we've been wanting to talk about: the Lakers docu-drama, 'Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2,' the latest Judd Apatow flick, the hype about 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' and more. It's good to be back...

This week, we welcome pro-gamer and video game expert Tyler Trollinger to the podcast to discuss 'LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.' Is this the rare game that has lived up to the anticipation that preceded it? Or does our discussion about it amount to a bunch of Mumble Mode?

This week, we welcome special guest Jennifer Lopez to discuss Matt Reeves' "The Batman." Reviews hail this film as one of the first true detective movies for the Detective Comics hero, but does it scratch the crime thriller or superhero itch particularly well?

This week, we welcome back J.D. "T-Bone" Smith to reflect on 'The Book of Boba Fett' on Disney+. We examine the highs and lows of what could've been dubbed 'The Mandalorian Season 2.5' and wrestle with whether the deep-cut characters and the return of [spoiler] and [spoiler] helped or hurt this series.

This week, we continue our discussion of the Lord of the Rings novels and their modern film adaptations. Daniel gets too deep into the lore (as if that's a surprise) and Chops reveals that his wife has asked him unsuccessfully to watch the films for more than six years.

This week, we begin our discussion on the Lord of the Rings novels by J.R.R. Tolkien and the film adaptations by Peter Jackson, the first of which recently turned 20 years old. What treasure troves of hidden lore are nestled in-and-amongst the story we know from page and screen? And what did a relative first-timer struggle with, on first viewing?

This week, we return to our discussion of the series of books and movies concerning The Boy Who Lived. In Part 2, we discuss 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix' and all the books and movies that followed, as well as HBO's 20th Anniversary Reunion Special and how the tarnished reputation of J.K. Rowling impacts the appreciation of her novels.
