  • Comics Crunch Episode 08: And Then He Walked Into The Ocean For 30 Years

    Originally released last month on our patreon.

    Hosted by a unicorn in disguise: Chris.

    When we get right down to it, what do any of us really know about unicorns?

    Today, we discuss one of the more unique instances of these majestic creatures in the form of a man with way more muscle than brains and an insatiable third eye for some reason.

    Advice to players: If you're going to walk to Russia from the U.S., you'd better take a real big breath.

  • Christmas 2022

    Merry Christmas!

    I have no idea how we got here. It's Beauty and the Beast: the Enchanted Christmas. Join us as we question exactly who's fault this is, discuss the juicy gossip about who might be involved with Mrs. Potts, and of course, point out the existential horror that the Beauty and the Beast universe has to offer. Then, stick around as we crunch Tim Curry as an organ: the octavio.

    Crunch begins around 53:30.

    We watch and outline the mind-bending sci-fi/horror film: Annihilation. Join us as we take a stroll in a living prism of a world, get a little bit personal, and of course, talk about a bear. Then, stick around as we crunch the infamous horror bear: Upsetting Bearform.

  • Episode 34: Jeepers Creepers (2001)

    Trigger warning for brief mentions of sexual abuse towards a minor.

    We watch and talk about the Labor Day weekend box-office smash of the early 00's: Jeepers Creepers. Join us as we try our hardest to not think of how much of a bad man the director is, puzzle (and complain) about the complete lack of forethought put into this flick, and wish we lived in the universe where this was a better movie. Then, stick around as we crunch the enigma that is the Blind Stalker.

    Crunch begins around 01:08:00.

  • Comics Crunch Episode 07: Just a Horrible Smoothie Made of the Worst Excesses of the ’90s

    Originally released last month on our patreon.

    Hosted by the very sanguine combustible, Chris.

    In this episode, we dive deep into a dark part of Scott Summers' family tree and bring back a monstrosity that only the 90's could create.

    Advice to players: don't get cut- he'll explode your blood.

  • Episode 33: Big Trouble in Little China (1986)

    We watch and talk about another John Carpenter joint: Big Trouble in Little China. Join us as Chris schools Matt in movie plots and stat blocks, gush over two prolific Chinese actors, and get caught up in the absolute madness that is Chinatown in the 1980's apparently. Then, stick around as we crunch an atomized sorcerer who is but a dream: the Cursed Immortal Sorcerer.

    Crunch begins around 01:10:15.

  • Thanksgiving 2022

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    Continuing our tradition of covering kid-friendly movies for Halloween followed by nobody-friendly movies for Thanksgiving, we watched Troma's Poultrygeist (2006). Join us as we endure the sleaziest humor the mid 00's had to offer, enjoy some really creative self-referential and generally great humor, and say a lot less of what this movie has to offer. Then, stick around as we crunch two creatures that are NOT werechickens: the Chickfector and the Chickfected.

    Crunch begins around 47:00.

  • Episode 32: Underwater (2020)

    We watch and talk about the last movie we saw in Theaters before the pandemic: Underwater (2020). Join us as we lament this movie's box-office takings, lament Kristin Stewart's bad rap, and lament T.J. Miller's existence. Then, stick around as we crunch a new member of the Beach Hunter family: the Deep Hunter.

    Crunch begins around 59:30.

  • Comics Crunch Episode 06: That One Time The Silver Surfer Fought a Cyborg Pirate Ghost to Get One Over On the Devil

    This episode features Mephisto, the Silver Surfer, and Galactus. We don't make stat blocks for any of them. Instead, we look at a pirate ghost cyborg who is evidentially the Silver Surfer's Achilles' heel.

    Advice to players: cry for me.

  • Halloween 2022

    Happy Halloween!

    It's that time of year again, and since we cover almost nothing but monster movies year-round, we have to reach in a slightly different direction for the 31st of October. And so, we watch and talk about the second Halloween special episode of the 90's hit show based off/inspired by Japanese super sentai: Power Rangers: Trick or Treat. Join us as we travel back to a time of radditude and goopy comic relief, raise many questions about America's most popular game show, and get down with our inner 90's family-friendly rap demons. Then, stick around as we crunch a completely baffling creature with the Rhyme-o-Lantern.

    Crunch begins around 59:30.
