The boys are back in town for the holidays. Yes, we've been gone awhile but it wouldn't be Christmas without a last minute podcast about Tucker making everyone upset. Big things are coming next year but for now sit back, have a glass of warm eggnog, and do whatever it is you do while this is on in the background. Have a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and spectacular New Year!

So much is talked about on this episode that it just had to be longer than Lawrence of Arabia! Another season has come to an end. Changes are on the horizon. What's next for the show, for us, for you? Who knows! It would be scary if it wasn't also so exciting. It's still pretty scary though. I'm scared. Hold me.

Comic Con brought with it a slew of new announcements from The Boys, Marvel, and more. Most "importantly", Robert Downey Jr. is coming back to the MCU as Doctor Doom in a desperate attempt to distract from the fact that Marvel accidentally hired a man who committed assault to play their most important character. Apparently their backup plan was to hire a felon instead. Genius! Speaking of genius, Michael Bay is also making a movie or something out of Skibidi Toilet. If you just asked yourself "What is a Skibidi Toilet?", congratulations! There's still hope for you yet! Click away while you still can. Okay, that's it for this week. I'm so tired. We've been doing this for four full years now. Wow time sure does fly. Are you better off than four years ago? Maybe. Maybe not. Myself, I'm not quite sure. Objective progress is hard to measure in life. The only thing we can accurately quantify is the number of people we consider friends, not really the value of the experiences we've had, at least not through any definite variable. Time inches on. Movies continue to get made. The world changes. Hold your loved ones close. You never know where you'll be tomorrow much less in four years. Shoutout to everyone who ever came on the podcast. You're a real one. Nobody in their right mind should waste their time doing this. To most, this is pointless and doesn't matter however, I like to think the truth of life is that anything can have meaning if we decide that it does. This matters. It's stupid but it matters. If you're reading this, you matter cause I said so. Change is coming, it always does. Just remember that you decide what's important to you, not anyone else. Oh good the pizza is here. Hooray for Papa John's!

Did you guys know that there's a Marvel character called Asbestos Lady?

BACK TO THE SWAMP BABY!!!

Despite the wishes of the entire global population, The McDoncast is back baby! We talk about set photos from Superman (2025), more endless discussion on the Blade movie that will never get made, HBO doing dumb garbage, and a surprisingly substantive Nintendo Direct. News never stops coming here in internet land. Come join the fun and subscribe or something. If you want. Nobodies making you. Trust me. Don't feel pressured at all. Just do it. Stop questioning it. Just do it. Press the button. Your family will finally love you if you hit subscribe. Do it. Stop delaying and do it. Now. NOW! DO IT NOW! please

ehold fellow adventurers! We have reached the epic climax of our journey through out of date news stories. Finally we will see the epic conclusion of our heroes futile quest! Will Sam and Tucker succumb to the impending feeling of despair and loneliness that comes with knowing too much about Kit Fisto's contributions to lightsaber development? If not now, soon. Trust me, read actual books with useful information. Everything in our brains is disposable. No one will ever need to know that canonically pink kryptonite turns Superman into a homosexual. Or that the sound effect for blasters in the original star wars was created by hitting a metal cord with a wrench. These facts are meaningless. Having too many of them in your brain will lead to a never ending spiral into madness. See Exhibit A, this description or any of the other podcast descriptions for that matter. I've wasted precious years of my youth. Thousands of dollars into movie tickets that should have gone to a qualified psychologist. Should I be writing this at 2:30 in the morning while sleep deprived? Probably not. But no one reads these anyway. I could air thousands of my petty personal grievances and no one would know. Writing these things is like someone trying to keep an up to date MySpace page. Just yelling words into a large empty space with no one there to hear it. Is Dead Internet Theory true? Most likely. The Internet is not reality. Everyone's opinion you've ever heard on here is someone either parroting the opinions of someone else or the opinions of corporations that seek to market their products to the masses in a manner in which they won't even notice they are being marketed to. Wow I sure have covered a lot here. Next episode we'll touch on the upcoming election. What fun! I need serious mental help.

The end times have come for the entertainment industry so forces from throughout the land of dreams have united to unleash every news story physically possible. Join our lone warriors Sam and Tucker as the venture forth from their beds to their armchairs to discuss news from Summer Game Fest, Annecy Festival, and the infinite brigade of nonchalant Twitter announcements. Will our heroes survive their fateful quest? No.

Happy Summer Vacation everybody! I hope your plans did not involve going to the movies because that and the video game industry seem to be in a state of sheer collapse and panic. That's what we talk about mostly on this episode as we slowly journey forward in our endless podcasting quest to watch all our beloved childhood media franchises slowly bleed out at the behest of desperate corporate executives trying to feed the endless cycle of growth required by the late stage globalization of capitalism. Cookouts and the beach are fun Summer activities!

Wow! Another Summer is on the horizon meaning there's a bunch of overbudget, overlong big blockbuster movies stumbling into theaters! On this episode, we predict which of these big movies will barely eek out a profit, saving their multibillion dollar corporations from bankruptcy. It's such a fun time for entertainment. Movies are cool. Has anyone seen my wallet?
