This week, Kyle welcomes writer and journalist Jules Chin Greene to discuss all things Man Without Fear. From Daredevil comics to the original Netflix series up through the first season of Daredevil: Born Again. Is the Devil of Hell's Kitchen back and better than ever?

This week, Kyle looks back at the cartoons that debuted 30 years ago, in 1995. Among the winners are three Warner Brothers favorites, two legendary anime, and three different cartoons based on Jim Carrey movies. What a year!

Get ready to ride the movies when Kyle welcomes back author Amy Ratcliffe to talk about theme parks, as well as her brand new novel, Thrill Ride, a rom-com set in the world of themed attractions. 

Mikey Walsh returns to the show to talk with Kyle about the second season of Severance (ever heard of it?). How did it hold up against the first season? Did any of our theories come true, and what new questions to we need answers to? We did get more goats, so that's a big win.

Kyle was sick last week and ended up watching a lot of very weird, very disturbing media. So he wants to talk about it! Joining him is filmmaker Matthew Warren whose own weird movie Delicate Arch is currently streaming on Screambox. From Adult Swim to Andrei Tarkovsky, if it's weird, it belongs in this episode! 

This week, Kyle welcomes Head Over Feels co-founder Sage Young to discuss the first four seasons of, in their opinion, the best sci-fi/horror series of the 1990s, The X-Files. Why was it such a phenomenon? What were the best episodes? And were you a Golden Age Shipper?

This week, Kyle welcomes back Dan Casey to discuss the future of the Star Wars franchise with Andor season on the horizon and Kathleen Kennedy (very probably though not confirmed) stepping down as Lucasfilm head at the end of 2025. Who should take over? What kind of movies and shows do we hope to see? Therm Scissorpunch trilogy, maybe?
