Teebs and KidPhoenix VS

A long time ago (1977) on a planet far far away (maybe not... it's just Earth), George Lucas created a movie that sparked a phenomenon. Star Wars is a cultural backbone of many nerds (enthusiasts) around the world.

Teebs and KidPhoenix tackle the impossible duty of going through the entire Star Wars filmography. (They mean no disrespect to those who are fans of the TV shows, but they don't have that cache to discuss them aside from The Mandalorian. That's their bad.) The movies have plenty of topics and subjects to cover. Adding the TV shows would possibly turn this into a three-hour podcast. Maybe some would enjoy that, but for now, we're covering episodes I-IX. From Lucas to (sigh) Abrams. May the force be with all who listen!

It's time to nuke this podcast from orbit!

42 years ago, Ridley Scott took an idea imagined by H.R. Giger and created a great science fiction/horror thriller known as "Alien". 35 years ago, James Cameron expanded on that idea to include his own fingerprints of science fiction, noir and action to create "Aliens". The rest is history. A great movie franchise was born, and it has spawned two other sequels, a pair of prequels ("Prometheus" and "Alien: Covenant"), a pair of spin off movies featuring another iconic movie alien (Alien vs. Predator), several video games including the new "Alien: Fireteam" game due at the end of this month, merchandise and a loyal fan base including your hosts Teebs and KidPhoenix.

The brothers enlist the mind and voice of another Alien franchise fanatic, Mr. Cory Slaton. The trio discuss the franchise, what makes it great three decades later and reminisce about their times and opinions on one of the greatest science fiction franchises in cinema.

Sometimes, it works when a previously made piece of media (movie/television) gets remade or rebooted in some way. Is that all that studios are capable of these days? Maybe. Maybe not. Your hosts Teebs and KidPhoenix discuss the direction that film and media studios have been trending over the last two decades or so. Why is this the new direction and what has led to it versus how it was back in the day (i.e. the 1970s/80s)? Is it a good thing to have new ideas or re-imagining of previous media? What's a good thing to reboot or remake versus what is a bad thing? The pair gets into all of that this week!

Remember that feeling of heading down to your local comic book shop, the newspaper stand close-by, or in Teebs's case -- the 7-Eleven (that is now an A-plus) at the corner of Farragut and Walnut Streets in Philadelphia -- to get that sweet super hero goodness?

That's what Teebs and KidPhoenix are talking about today. For many people, comic books are the first foray into super heroes and the ensuing nerd-dom that follows. Times have changed a lot since those days. The internet has made everything accessible to all, but there are still some issues with the comic book industry that your favorite nerdy pair of brothers that could fix that would make the experience that much better for everyone: buyers, sellers, artists, writers, etc. It is a very spirited discussion on the comic book industry as the duo sees it today.

If there is one movie that our beloved hosts, Teebs and KidPhoenix, hold on a pedestal more than any movie in the entirety of cinema, it's Ghostbusters. Ghostbusters is a classic. It has aged incredibly well since its release in July of 1984. It spawned a sequel in 1989, a remake/reboot in 2016, a three-season animated cartoon, millions of dollars in merchandising and a cult following that very few films from that era have assembled.

Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis (RIP), and Ernie Hudson were brought together via the mind of Aykroyd and Ramis under the direction of Ivan Reitman, and the rest is history. Teebs and KidPhoenix get into that history with a mutual friend of theirs, Heidi Bollard, and reminisce about the feelings they had watching the movie for the first time. There's also a deep discussion about the franchise as a whole and what they liked most about this absolute perfect movie. It's 90 minutes talking about ghosts and ghostbusting. Don't cross those streams!

If our calculations are correct ... when you hit "play" on this podcast ... you're gonna hear some serious s&*!

That's right! Teebs and KidPhoenix are having an in-depth talk about time travel plots and stories in popular media. From "Back to the Future" to the new Disney+ series "Loki" and everything in between, your favorite pair of brothers are talking about everything that makes going back in time (or into the future) fun for those who read and watch stories with time travel elements.

Hop in the Delorean. Jump into a phone booth with Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves. However you choose, we gotcha covered!

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.
