A new month means a new theme here at The Occasionalists. We are now into Appreciation April!

This month we will be taking a closer, detailed look at things in pop culture that we are really into.

First up this month, the HBO Max series Raised By Wolves. We take a long look at the themes, metaphors, production and performances from one the best and most unique pieces of sci fi entertainment to come around in a long time.

But first, how about a joke?

An android, a serpent and an atheist walk into a bar...

Our final minisode installment for March has arrived and we are flipping the script on yesterday's episode. 

We are tackling the other side of comic book adaptation industry and are attempting to lighten up the general cloud of angst, depression and darkness that hangs over much of the DCEU.

Put simply, DC needs to cut loose and stop being so serious. Sometimes.

We'll show you what movies and shows already figured out how to be less sad and uptight, plus how we would alter certain properties could be more fun given the right touch.

While Marvel Studios is undoubtedly an entertainment juggernaut the likes of which Hollywood has never seen before, one thing has eluded comic book hitmaker since the days of Howard The Duck and Blade: Legitimacy.

Whether the movies are bashed as formulaic carnival attractions or they miss out on the major awards, Marvel still has a few hills left to climb.

To that end, we humbly offer our services to Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios, for a nominal fee of course, to help get him those big awards and make the MCU a little more legit.

In The March of Minisodes rolls on, this time to a very simple premise: What is making us happy?

We discuss some great things in both pop culture and our personal lives and share some recommendations for everyone out there.

Let's get happy!

What's cracking knuckle heads? In The March of Minisodes rolls on with a brand new sports talk show, Over The Line!

Smoke and The Big Freeze are here and ready to take your calls on all things sports.

Wanna talk about Baker Mayfield? College football? Gambling? 

We're here to talk all of that and more as we take you...Over The Line!

Hello there Screamin' Firehawks!

We are back with another minisode as we tackle the recently concluded (for now) SyFy/Amazon series The Expanse.

Is it the best sci-fi tv property in the last 20 or so years? Well duh, but why?

We dive into those reasons, talk about some slight tonal shifts and budgetary changes from SyFy to Amazon, and of course...talk about who is getting it on!

Check it out!

Donkey Balls.

Our next minisode is live as we take on the HBO Max show Peacemaker. 

We breakdown a critical scene in the series and discuss how it was shot, how it impacts the series, the best lines and so much more.

Did I mention there's a riveting acting performance? Because there is!

Check it out now!

Our first minisode of March has arrived and with it, a few complaints.

We air out our problems with young people, the gym and the internet because we're grumpy elder millennials.

Up next, feats of strength! 

We are back to complete The Last Faction Heroes trilogy for Factual February.

This time, we're doing battle with The Misinformation Machine.

We try to pinpoint who is responsible for the vast amount of misinformation readily available through all sorts of media outlets. We profile those most likely to share false info (spoiler alert: it's you!) and even give some examples of some egregiously bad information that gets digested by both mainstream and fringe audiences alike.

Is this the magic bullet for misinformation? Of course not, but it's a start. 

Part two of our action movie falsehoods is live!

We take aim at some classic action movie scenes (explosions, car chases, etc.) and break them down to determine where the truth was stretched for the sake of movie magic.

We also discuss the most egregiously inaccurate action movie of all time: Armageddon.
