This week Cian and Darragh pit DC and Marvel’s biggest 2025 releases against each other with Superman and Fantastic Four. Darragh explains why he “passionately hates Superman” and why the character only works when his humanity is tested rather than his powers. The hosts explore what makes for a good Superman story from All-Star Superman to Red Son and critique why most movie versions miss the point.

On the Marvel side they celebrate the Fantastic Four’s legacy as the comic that launched the Silver Age praise Jack Kirby’s influence and spotlight Doctor Doom as one of the greatest villains ever created. They discuss how the team’s real strength lies in their scientific minds and cosmic problem solving rather than monster brawls.

The episode wraps with a question for listeners: which film will have the bigger impact and can either franchise find its lasting spark?

In this special tribute episode, the team reflects on the life and career of Sabu following his recent passing. The discussion begins with the news itself and the wrestling world’s reaction, before moving into the controversy surrounding Joey Janela’s comments about allegedly giving Sabu drugs before his retirement match — a topic the hosts address with both sensitivity and honesty.

The heart of the show is a nostalgic deep dive into a playlist of Sabu’s TNA matches from 2005–2007, which the hosts fondly call the “golden age of TNA.” They deliver a detailed breakdown of a standout ladder match between Sabu and Malice from the early TNA weekly pay-per-views, highlighting the brutality, athleticism, and chaos that defined his style.

One host also shares a personal story of meeting Sabu in Cork, Ireland, recalling his humble, friendly nature and the positive experience of interacting with one of wrestling’s most unique performers. The episode closes with a discussion of how Sabu’s silhouette, ring gear, and signature hand gesture became truly iconic in wrestling history.

In this episode, the team travels back to February 16, 1997 for a full review of WWF In Your House 13: Final Four from Chattanooga, Tennessee. They kick things off by covering the dark match between The Godwinns and The Headbangers before diving into the night’s headline drama — Shawn Michaels’ infamous “lost my smile” promo and sudden vacation of the WWF Championship. Was it genuine heartbreak or a clever dodge to avoid dropping the belt to Bret Hart at WrestleMania? The hosts dig deep into the speculation.

Along the way, they revisit the state of the WWF in 1996–1997, comparing it to WCW’s dominant NWO era and drawing parallels to the later rise of AEW. Match-by-match reviews include Marc Mero vs. Leif Cassidy (a.k.a. Al Snow) and The Nation of Domination vs. Bart Gunn, Flash Funk & Goldust, with added discussion on the origins of the Nation stable and Al Snow’s unique career path.

This week, Cian and Kev take a nostalgic (and slightly overheated) deep dive into Star Trek: Enterprise — the oft-forgotten fifth Trek series.

Plus: gripes about streaming services, ads on paid subscriptions, and the peril of eating too much Chinese food before recording.
