This week we break down the new Masters of the Universe trailer and ask the big question: is this live-action He-Man faithful to the original, or loaded with modern changes?

Tyler throws out a very specific question about bathroom schedules, and we debate whether anyone actually has a set “toilet time.”

Shaun gives two updates on his dad as they continue an alternative approach to his cancer treatment. Meanwhile, much of the country froze, but Southeast Texas avoided the worst of the weather.

Shoky borrows Chad’s Bronco to haul equipment, which sparks a discussion about the annoyances of modern vehicles and Shoky’s terrible history with Ford. Are there cars some people just aren’t meant to own?

We also catch up on The Pitt, including a wild on-screen first involving a drained priapism. Chad’s viewing of The Wrecking Crew leads into a deep dive on Jason Momoa’s career, his background, and his frequent collaborations with Dave Bautista.

In entertainment news, Wicked: For Good gets snubbed at the Oscars, the Grammys bring out both classy and controversial moments, and Jelly Roll earns respect for his acceptance speech.

We also talk about Billie Eilish’s political comments and the unexpected backlash that followed.

Plus, a strange turn of events in Minneapolis as local officials shift course and agree to assist federal immigration enforcement.

SHOKY-

Jefe and Chad are both missing on this MLK day but we have Other Kevin joining for his first real show! With the 4 year anniversary of the show coming up, Shoky asks if anyone knows the name of the very first episode of NYMIA?

We discuss Shaun's dad's cancer and the alternate treatments he's seeking. Why is it that modern medicine only ever takes a single route? Chemo and Radiation. People are discovering workable methods that don't destroy your body.  But also we ask: "have you ever had just truly rude or dismissive doctors?"

Speaking of dad's in need: Rodney's dad needs assistance. Please donate anything you can to help out this family:

We hear Other Kevin's history of moving across the US as a civil engineer. How triangles are your friend and how some people are born to be engineers and some are born to be mechanics. Speaking of, Shoky tells of the struggles in what seemed to be a really simple brake job gone wrong. 

Once again we have to talk Emily in Paris and K POP Demon Hunters, because they are shows that middle aged men shouldn't be interested in, but for some reason they work! 

Another female lead show is on the way. We got the first look at Sophie Turner as Lara Croft in the upcoming Tomb Raider series on Amazon. She looks the part...mostly. But given that the show is directed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, people are extremely reticent that she won't ruin another great character like she did with James Bond and Indiana Jones. However, Lara is a female fusion of both of those characters. So maybe there is hope! 

Question though: are Lara Croft and Indiana Jones morally gray characters? They do steal things from foreign countries for fame or money.

Speaking of ruining franchises: Kathleen Kennedy is finally leaving Lucasfilm! The internet of Nerds rejoiced as though a great evil had left the galaxy. BUT, does she deserve all the hatred that has come her way the last decade or so? We look over her history in Hollywood and the movies and franchises she was a part of. 

Leading to rehashing the Star Wars sequels for the 19th time, and also pointing out plot holes in Back to the Future. Which one was your favorite movie featuring Marty and Doc Brown?

And finally the chaos in Minnesota is still increasing. Since Other Kevin lived there once he gives a little insight into the area.

We are back in 2026 with new look! Chad has a new hat to match the rest of us! Also, new seating positions and lighting. 

Tyler complains about self checkout lines at grocery stores. do you think if we use Self Checkout you should get a discount? Tyler also leads us into a discussion about boneless versus traditional wings. Some of us prefer our nuggets, thank you. 

He also gives a shitty movie recommendation to Jefe. "The Stuff"

Shaun asks us if we can recall the earliest memory of our fathers.

As it turns out, his dad was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

We get caught up on the finale of Stranger Things and the "secret episode" theory that swept the Internet last week. #conformitygate 

And of course we have to discuss everything happening in Minnesota. The city is becoming a war zone as anti-ICE protesters are leading to violence in the streets.

SHOKY-

Its the end of the year and we are all gathered at Chad's house to commiserate and rejoice at the passing of this oh so chaotic year. 

We talk about how we got here. Some of the best and worst things that happened to us. We have a couple guests join us: Candida returns for her yearly check in, and Rodney who is an old friend we are just reconnecting with after many years. 

Candid joins the offender late in the episode as well!

MERRY CHRISTMAS YALL

This week we are back with the big news that Netflix has purchased Warner Brothers, but Paramount chimes in with a much larger bid! Leaving people to wonder about the future of the DCU lead by James Gunn. Others see this as an opportunity to resurrect the previous "Snyderverse." But why do people put that the Cinematic Universe on such a high pedestal? Out of 12 (actually 16) movies 3 are arguably good or great. The rest are just okay or terrible. 

And in comparison the equal number of releases from Marvel seems to be the exact opposite. Far more hits than misses. 

On top of that "Welcome to Derry" tackles releases the evil entity into the world to cause fear and confusion to unite our county. A character stops the show just to rant about everything that is wrong with the country in 1962. But it oddly sounds like everything wrong with America in 2025. 

Shoky discusses the new movie "The Roses." A dark comedy about how fame and money can tear a family apart. Starring Benedict Comberbatch and Olivia Coleman. Often funny, but definitely an all too real depiction of real marriage when roles and priorities shift suddenly.

Another brand new movie in the "Five Nights at Freddy's" franchise just dropped and Shoky gives us his review. Did it hold up to the first movie or did it flop like a lifeless animatronic? 

Last in movies: 2 new trailers came in front of FNAF 2. Including "Anaconda," Silent Night, Deadly Night," and "The Bride" starring Lady Gaga and......some guy who played Batman for a few movies. Seriously we could not remember his name!

Random thought: if you created a new energy source that hasn't existed yet, would you be scared that it would be used for military purposes? That happened to a friend of mine. But I argued that a new potent form of energy would be used to power Data Centers and AI production instead. Did you know that there are fake neighborhoods created just to disguise data centers? Did you also know farmlands are being bought to run "energy corridors" though different states so they can have direct access for the growth of AI? 

Finally we discuss the mounting tensions in the political podcast sphere. Tim Pool and Candace Owens have been going back and forth. He has repeatedly called her out for her lies and manipulation of her audience as Youtube seems to prop up her show despite the her conduct going directly against policy. And shortly after a spicy Friday night show, a car pulled up to Timcast studios and opened fire on the building several times. We've reached a place in this country where people think it's okay to assassinate podcasters. Charlie Kirk was the first. Crowder has been assaulted. Tim has had tons of bomb threats and swattings.

How did we get here?

SHOKY-

We are back this week and FINALLY Jefe has watched the correct "IT" movie so we can start discussing Welcome to Derry properly. leading to the question: could Pennywise have an effect on Forest gump?

We also have 2 news articles proving our earlier discussion about AI being used by pedos. Lucky the state of Texas is taking it seriously.

Also we have our first meme of the week!

SHOKY-

This week we open up with some confusing signage. If you were in desperate need for a pee and you ran into these signs, which would you think applied to you? 

Shoky introduces the other guys the Baby Shark 50s Soul Version from Re:SOUL. A new favorite!

Shaun asks what is worse to have to fix for "old people": phones or TVs? I don't think Chad has ever spoke up so quickly before.

We discuss the normal movies and TV stuff we always do. 

And then Shoky goes on a rant about the future of this country and how it can feel totally hopeless at this point. Should a political party wield power when they have it, or sit back and feign righteousness until they inevitably lose?
