We are BACK after an unplanned week off to catch up on all the news and then a thorough rundown of last night's Dynamite as we cruise into Dynasty weekend!

The Elite Beat Plugs of the Week

Megan: The Girls on the Boys (Anatomy of a Scream podcast feed)

Andy: The Trish and Sarah Wrestling Podcast

We go LONG this week, as there is so much non-AEW stuff to chat about: will Megan ever buy another video game console? Does being a dad give you a perpetual Peter Pan pass? Will Megan watch Wrestlemania based on her surprising amount of interest in the lineup? All this, plus analysis of the AEW releases, Ortiz' successful pec surgery, CM Punk on Ariel Helwani, and yes, perhaps the worst AEW match of all time. It's all here!

We're finally at the (maybe) end of the Christian/Copeland program, and Megan and Andy are here to talk all about it. That, a full rundown of this week's Dynamite and Rampage supershow that ONE of us watched, and much more! But first, we kick things off with a deep dive into the Quiet on Set documentary and some childhood Nickelodeon musings.

We go over Dynamite top to bottom, and also take a little time near the top to discuss what's been going on with the show over the past month. Always a blast with Justin, hope you enjoy it!
