We are back! After a bit of a summer hiatus we have returned with perhaps our most divisive topic yet, Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania. For our previous listeners it may not be much of a surprise that Nick and Ryan have very different opinions on this movie. However, this is perhaps the furthest apart we have ever been on an MCU property. Join us as we debate the tough questions like; is this joke funny? Is this movie actually two different Star Wars movies at the same time? What exactly is Bill Murray doing? And, of course.....Ants??? 

Happy Mothers Day! On this episode Nick and Ryan pay tribute to some of their favorite TV and movie mothers throughout the years in honor of this special day. Topics include best moms in the MCU, kick ass 80's and 90's sitcom moms and, for once, Nick and Ryan are in total agreement on the greatest mom in movie history. 

Happy Star Wars Day! On this episode Nick and Ryan will do a deep dive into season 3 of The Mandalorian. We'll discuss all the ups and downs, what worked and what didn't and where we think it's all going from here. May the 4th be with you!

We're back with an all new episode! In this installment we're going to do things a little differently as we discuss all the recent news coming out of the world of Warner Bros. and their announcement that James Gunn and his creative partner Peter Safran will take over control of all DC related content. In the first half of the episode Nick and Ryan will discuss their thoughts on what this means for the future of DC, the projects that have been announced thus far, and the reception to some of Safran and Gunn's initial comments since the announcement. Then, in the second half of the episode, Nick take us on a journey through his imagining of how he would construct his own DC universe including the films and characters he would highlight as well as the overarching narrative he would weave. 

As was once famously said in Monty Python, "and now for something completely different." In this episode Nick and Ryan are joined by Ryan's wonderful wife, Liz, to discuss their two year analytical odyssey into the greatest sitcom of all time, Seinfeld. Liz and Ryan discuss what led them to conduct this experiment, how they chose the metrics and then test Nick's skills at guessing the results. If you're a fan of Seinfeld or statistics this is an episode you won't want to miss!

On this episode Nick and Ryan discuss the most recent Disney+ Star Wars series, Andor. Spoiler alert: We loved it!! We'll discuss the series as a whole, what worked (everything!), what didn't (nothing), and where it ranks amongst the other Star Wars series thus far. We'll also give some of our theories about what we might expect from a potential second season.  And, as will likely be the case whenever Star Wars is discussed, Ryan pushes once again for a Star Wars, West Wing style program.  Andor: 100% less lightsabers, 100% more awesome!

We're back with part 2 of our deep dive into the state of MCU Phase 4. In this episode Nick and Ryan continue the Phase 4 discussion by focusing primarily on the mess created by Eternals. Other topics in this episode include; The Incredible Hulk, the audacity of Thor: Love and Thunder and the overall success of Phase 4 so far. Also, as this episode was recorded prior to the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, we give our theories on what to expect from that film. Come check out what we got right and where we missed the mark. Hint: we were right about the first hour!

This week, in the lead up to Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Nick and Ryan are providing a little state of the union of the MCU Phase 4 thus far. In this episode we will focus our discussion primarily on the Phase 4 Disney+ shows or what we affectionally refer to as the MCUDP. We'll discuss their individual success as well as their overall impact, or lack there of, on the future of the MCU. Phase 4 is almost complete, how's it going so far? Let's find out...

On this week's episode Nick and Ryan have a rousing discussion about the most recent Disney+ Star Wars series, Obi-Wan Kenobi. It is fair to say that Nick and Ryan have decidedly different takes on the success of this series. We  breakdown what each of us thinks works (Ewan!), what doesn't (Hayden!) and everything in between. We also try and answer the most difficult question about this series; did we need this? Other topics include the legend that is Jimmy Smits, the oddly prolific film career of The Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea and Ryan's pitch for a Star Wars West Wing.

In this week's episode Nick and Ryan discuss the finale of season one of Moon Knight. We'll check out how it all wraps up, what might be on tap for season two and, most importantly, the introduction of an amazing new superhero. And of course, it wouldn't be a discussion of Moon Knight if we didn't dote on Oscar Isaac just a little bit because, I mean, come on?
