We have returned!

Teebs is here. KidPhoenix is here, and this time, they've brought help in the form of some really amazing, talented, scholarly guests.

This week, Professor Mary Beth Ray, Ph.D (Plymouth State University) and Professor Carrie Teresa, Ph.D (Niagara University) join our hosts to discuss their project: The Adolescentia Project. The project is their baby. Their brain child. The Adolescentia Project was created as a way to share and celebrate the ways in which music has given people the courage to become who they became to be. It is -- as they describe -- "A love letter to their -- and your -- 14-year-old selves in navigating stress, uncertainty, and excitement of adolescence.

There is an amazing discussion of how the project came to be, plans for the future, and Teebs and KidPhoenix enter their submissions to the project. They also ponder whether or not this concept can be applied to other media such as television, movies, and comics.

Enjoy this amazing discussion ... before we go back to comics and fart jokes.

For more information about The Adolescentia Project, go to their website (adolescentiaproject.com), and if you would like to make a submission, check out the project's Instagram page (@adolescentia_)!

The Royster Brothers will be returning!

It's been a bit of a hiatus. Teebs and KidPhoenix had to get in the training room and work out some new ideas, some new combos, and some new equipment. (Seriously, Teebs got a new microphone, and it sounds amazing!)

The return is on! June 30, 2021. We're back with fresh content, fresh takes, and fresh opinions on almost everything inside the nerd lexicon!

Subscribe to the podcast if you haven't already. Follow your hosts on Twitter, and we'll be back in four weeks!

Special shout to Nestalgia for their "Punch Out - Training Theme (Metal Cover)" that is featured in this trailer.

It is the mid-season finale of Teebs and KidPhoenix VS!

The brothas are FLYING in off the top rope this week!

Teebs and KidPhoenix put on the singlets and the tights with some flair and have what they feel is a much needed discussion about professional wrestling -- some of its history, influences its had on their lives and upbringing, where it is now, and what they feel some of the problems that these companies have in 2021. Professional wrestling is still very popular in American culture, but T & KP think more can be done to make it better. They discuss all of that plus give you their personal favorites as far as wrestling theme music because they can make or break a wrestler's persona.

When you watch television ... When you watch movies ... When you watch anything in the pop culture realm, you want whatever race, creed, sexual orientation, etc., to be "validated" as Teebs says on this podcast. That's where representation comes in. On today's episode, Teebs and KidPhoenix discuss the concept of representation -- strictly from an African-American male point of view. (The explanation for why they chose go so narrow is explained in the podcast.) But the duo explain what representation means to them and how things have been in pop culture with regards to representation for African-American males in pop culture and entertainment.

Only two episodes to go until the mid-season finale!

**Trigger warning: Points about racism, sexual assault, homophobia, and transphobia will be made on this podcast as part of our discussion on this topic.**

"Sometimes, we just want to make sure people know we're not just clowns out here. We have serious discussions about serious things." - Teebs

Today's episode is one of those topics. The idea of cancel culture has been in the consciousness of everyone over the last several years. It permeates into everything of our lives including pop culture, entertainment, politics, and so much more. Everyone has their thoughts on the subject, and Teebs and KidPhoenix have theirs. The brothers discuss some of the aspects of cancel culture, its history, and wishes they have for how society can progress forward in this new era.

Today's intro and outro is by a favorite of Teebs and KidPhoenix: The Minibosses! 

Coronavirus. What can we say about it that hasn't been said, already? This pandemic sucks and continues to suck. It has fundamentally changed so many things about our way of life as it pertains to how we view new content. Netflix and Hulu have shown the ways to companies like Disney and TimeWarner, so Teebs and KidPhoenix discuss what the future of the movie industry could look like after we've reached that precious "herd immunity". What will the theater experience be? How much will streaming services play a part in the strategy for production companies in 2021 and beyond? It's all touched on in this podcast.

*The intro and outro for today's podcast is "With the Quickness" produced by A_Rival via OCR Remix.

"All this content coming out. Is it just empty calories?"

That's how Teebs starts out this podcast, and it's an interesting one. Teebs and KidPhoenix are talking about fan service. Lost of entertainment companies are pumping out content targeted at specific parts of "nerd culture", but how much of it is actually good versus the ones that are basically done half assed to cash in? The dynamic duo discusses how things are in the Star Wars Universe with the sequel trilogy vs. The Mandalorian as well as how Marvel and DC are doing in the same veins.

Today's intro and outro was done by DJ iPad (@8bitpimp). It is "Flash Fire" which can be found via OCR Remix.

It's time to get serious. Hopefully, that's not too much of a stretch for Teebs and KidPhoenix, but we'll see how this goes! Have you ever wondered about Black Cinema but have no idea how to go about it? What to watch? After the certified bona fides, what are those "deep cuts" that you never thought about? Well, that's the education Teebs and The Kid get into today. Each decade has its pieces of film that need to be recognized in order to get the full-ness of Black Cinema, and every decade is covered starting with the 1970s to the 2010s.

On this episode of "Teebs and KidPhoenix VS", your hosts with the most get into a very near and dear topic: video games. Video games are very influential to Teebs and KidPhoenix. They bred a sibling rivalry that was already pretty heated in the beginning, and it has kept growing ever since that first Ken vs. Ryu match in Street Fighter II. The pair discuss the Console Wars over the decades, where we've been, where we're at now, and most importantly ... what they consider (in their opinions) the best consoles they've ever gotten their hands and fingers on.

Special thanks and shouts to Joshua Morse (@JoshuaMorse) whose "Air Shooter" tune was used as the song for this episode.
