The Weekly Substandard Expanded Universe

The boys have watched Netflix's new Bubble-movie, which would have scored higher on Rotten Tomatoes had it been the only movie ever released. We also review the Academy nominees' swag bags and give helpful advice in our frequently recurring advice column.

The boys are briefly joined by the fourth Beatle, Ben Parker at the beginning of the show before they descend into discussing the new, hot show that everyone is talking about: Downton Abbey. They also discuss its American twin, The Gilded Age.

Tim joined the episode to chat about Station 11, Euphoria, and a bunch of other things. Honestly, it is a must list listen.

This episode has two signature features. The first is the longest quiz ever produced by a human podcast. The second is Shannon Last's EXTENSIVE thoughts on the movie Encanto.

Chris and Thomas are joined by (now) frequent guest Jim Swift! They chat about grilling, take a sports quiz, and Chris' experience meeting working man America for the first time.

Ben and Ryan are back with another episode of Ryan, What Is This? Is this the episode where Ryan finally scores a point? Listen and find out!

The boys gathered around the microphones to celebrate Christmas with a game, apartment hunting in Dubai, hated actors and lady actors, Holiday in the Wild, Rob Lowe, and more!

The Beatles are reunited when Ben joins the boys to chat about Swedish Christmas traditions, Chinese Christmas restaurants, Succession, and to play a quizgame!

Two episodes in a week? Yes, we do believe in miracles here at the Standard Podcast. Some miracles happen while you are flat skiing and others when you are getting raped by a beast of a horse. That (and much more) on this week's episode.

The lads get together to chat about a bunch of movies they have recently watched (including the Hangover and Stillwater) as well as escape rooms, self-checkout (who would have guessed), and shoplifters!
