A talking raccoon and a sentient tree?!

When Marvel's 'Guardians of the Galaxy' hit theatres in 2014, it faced doubts from all angles, from Kree and Xandarians alike. However, James Gunn's injection of humour, colour and the right amount of irreverence quickly made the film an instant fan-favourite. 12 years later, it's made it to Number 7 on our MCU 12 list. Some are saying that's really the most important part of its legacy.

They've gone and done it now, haven't they? They pissed off the Dragon Queen. And for that, heads WILL roll.

For the second episode of 'House of the Dragon' Season 3, Ebube, Afam and Soonen dissect the aftermath of the Battle of the Gullet, note the subtle and not-so-subtle differences between Aemond and Daemon, and rave about Emma D'Arcy's incredible acting.

They talk about the incredible loses incurred by Corlys, Alicent's brazen plans, Mysaria's place in Rhaenyra and Daemon's marriage, and the fact that Alys will definitely have a bigger role to play in what's to come. They also briefly comment on Ironrod's idiocy and try to decide whether such scenes are truly necessary in modern fiction.

THIS is what happens. Still.

Ebube and Emmanuel reunite for a deep dive into the surprisingly quick return of Apple TV's 'Your Friends & Neighbours', and they bring Angel along for the ride. The trio gets into everything from Tori's ingratitude (7:33) to Mel's unhinged seasonal arc and Coop's penchant for doing the worst possible thing at any given moment. They talk about the influence of Coop's father in his life, as well as Barney's decisions and Elena's woes.

They of course also review the tentpole addition to the cast for the new season — James Marsden as Owen Ashe — as well as all its repercussions. Hop in, the Hamptons are fun.

HBO's 'House of the Dragon' is FINALLY back for its third season! But at what cost?

Ebube summons Afam and Soonen for a deep dive into a truly pyrrhic victory, dealt at the most pivotal naval battle the realm has ever known, and brace for the inevitable as they evaluate the legacy of Jacaerys Velaryon, as well as take stock of the confusion across the entire board.

They discuss the audacity of Alicent's offer and the problems she faces now that her rug's been pulled (6:55), including her relationship with Aemond (12:10) and the schemes of the Hightowers as a whole (44:49). They also talk about the significance of mother-son relationships in the episode (30:28); the insanity of Rhaena's current situation in addition to its potential repercussions (7:45); and the true cost of the Battle of the Gullet (52:14), all before finally introducing Ebube's brand new device: the Adaptometer® (1:15:20).

R.I.P to a real one yet again.

The TLDR here is simple: 'BEEF' Is the Best Show on Netflix right now.

But hop in anyway because Ebube's summoned AJ and Soonen for a union that's decidedly NOT fueled by road rage or deteriorating romance. The trio get into everything from who's actually in the right this season, to what the show has to say about the systems that feed the human condition

They talk about how this season is as much about class warfare as individual conflicts (4:27), in line with what this season of the show is truly about (6:31); as well as the richness of the performances (9:49), Josh and Lindsay's delusion (19:49), how power changes people (23:35) and why it's important for young men to have solid role models (30:02).

Art does mirror life after all.

With great podcast power comes the great responsibility to discuss the full season of Prime Video's 'Spider-Noir'. Bankole & TMT grab their fedoras and coats and head back to the 1930s to examine Nic Cage's first TV role, what made this show so exciting and the constant allure of a period crime mystery.

Welp. Here we are. The show with the endlessly cynical take on superheroes has finally come to a close, and Ebube and Oseghale have thoughts. Let's make one thing clear, everyone got what they deserved. Well... Almost everyone. The guys try to make sense of the show's final chapter and address the internet's thoughts on what will go down as one of the most divisive series finales in pop culture.

As they figure out if the show truly stuck its landing, they get into the potential hubris of cinematic universes (8:23); Antony Starr's career-defining performance (18:26); Butcher's alternate future (32:02); the current media literacy crisis (42:06), and of course narrative responsibility and the GenV-shaped hole in the plot.

The end was entertaining, but undeniably diabolical.
