Happy Holidays to all! Keeping with the #holidayspirit we would be amiss not to celebrate by diving into one of our favorite #Christmas movies, #HomeAlone and its titular leading man: @IncredibleCulk Being a young movie star is not an easy path to tread and we have grown up with him through our own childhood memories, musical parodies of @cheesedayz or @BunnyEarsWeb content creation. Despite following this very unique journey, when we really peel back the onion, he isn’t so different from you and me. While is amazing! Tune in to hear our thoughts!

We were both entertained and inspired seeing Jason Momoa doing the haka at the #Aquaman premiere so we had to do an episode on it. The roots of local culture in Hawaii run deep so seeing dramatic displays we can relate to in mainstream media is always a blast! From #Baywatch to #GoT, Jason has always brought Hawaiian flair to his roles and we will continue to cheer him on, along with all the other local boys and girls out there doing their thing! It’s just what we do. #pride

Video games, especially fighting games, have been a huge part of our lives for many years. So this week we want to share our experiences with fighting games while spotlighting one of the Fighting Game Community's (FGC) most polarizing celebrities, Dominique "SonicFox" McLean. Despite still being in college, he has been able to dominate professionally in multiple fighting games. He also simultaneously represents three distinct minority groups as a self-described “black, queer, furry” and serves as a tremendous inspiration to his many followers.

This week we took a detour from our normal content rotation because we had to share our thoughts on the legendary Stan Lee, who sadly passed away a couple of days ago. Truth be told, we had already recorded most of this episode previously but we didn't plan on releasing it for a little while. That being said, we decided to accelerate the schedule because we wouldn't be doing Stan justice by holding off any longer. We grew up through the comic book revival of the 90's and thus Stan Lee has been a huge inspiration throughout our lives. Through countless cameos and public appearances, he has consistently remained a recurring pop culture icon, even in his waning years. His legacy shall be everlasting through the amazing stories he has built and countless lives he has touched.

Episode 2: We are halfway through the 2018 National Football League (NFL) season so we thought we’d share a discussion on polarizing figures in American football this year: Pittsburgh Steelers star running back Le’Veon Bell and Seattle Seahawks star safety Earl Thomas. While simultaneously destroying fantasy football teams across the nation and making a huge statement on the economics of a multi-million dollar entertainment industry, Bell’s historic “hold out” shows either incredible resolve or misplaced futility depending on where you stand on the issue; while Thomas’ injury fuels the fire.

Happy Halloween! This week we’re celebrating Halloween by taking a look at someone who is in the “Halloween Spirit” (as we know it) all year long! By that, we mean “cosplay”, where people dress up in costumes portraying specific characters. And what better way to look into cosplay than highlighting one of the most popular cosplayers in the world, who fully embodies the spirit of respecting yourself through your characters, Jessica Nigri.
