Pokemon.... and Digimon... and why one is better than the other kind of? Oh and Yu-gi-oh! and like... twitter etiquette? We're uh... back everybody! Woohoo!

Bray Wyatt is winning everything. Kofi's life story. NXT everywhere. A long, deep dive in to the road to WrestleMania and our feelings. Last stop before legit probably the actual biggest Mania ever. Lets freaking go.

Why do anything productive? Not like the academy is. Just listen to how wrong we were about the Oscars and how strongly Adam feels about Victorian era set pieces. Rami Malek is a tour de force surrounded by forced nonsense. If you take one thing away from this episode its this: The Onion always tells you actual facts.

"The Other Wonders" series continues with part 2 of the 1980s! Witness the most underrated black metal band in history, an unreasonably underage pop star, a band thats actually one whole person and Ska before ska was a thing. Lets play some of the hardest and biggest hits at this John Hughes prom.

Ending out Adam's journey through One Piece's East Blue Saga and loving every minute of it! Every. Minute. Of. It. New characters are super fun and payoff is all that matters. Plus a quick chat up at the end with an introspective about masculinity in the anime community. Go watch Hinomaru Sumo.

Recap of Takeover Phoenix and Royal Rumble and lots of confused and eager speculation talks as we kick of Wrestlemania Season and figure out what to do with the lull season of New Japan. Also Dean Ambrose is leaving WWE probably.... hard times man.

Its a very selfish episode and a happy birthday to Jesse! Find out all his awful taste in Sci-fi movies as he and Adam run through his favorite films of the decade in the genre. Picking apart more movies than others and mostly celebrating their existence for the sake of Jesse's existence. Hooray!

Rounding out the first set of the "Other Wonders" series with with a set of songs, quite possibly only on the list because these are mostly artists with 1 or 2 albums. The decade of the 2010s with so many musical streaming possibilities is the best to help prove the concept of "1-Hit Wonders" is all but dead and gone for plenty of people who seek out whole albums or get attached to certain smaller artists. Or unless you're like Adam and didnt even know some of the hits in the first place.

A year in review and a fun indulgent run down of what we loved over all and in the last half of the year 2018 in Music, Movies, Anime, Tv Shows, and Video Games. Hope 2019 will be a magnificent year for us and you!

Covering TLC and WrestleKingdom 13 and then discussing AEW. Plus predicting the future paths of the road to Wrestlemania. Adam struggles with what to watch priorities and Jesse cant stop being scared of The New (evil!) Daniel Bryan.
