The Weekly Substandard Expanded Universe

The podcast storms back with an episode discussing the greatest Englishman who ever lived (Christopher Nolan). We also have time to chat a little about weddings from around the globe and learn about other cultures. Thomas has been on dating apps again while Apple is releasing a new watch and William Shatner has gone senile.

The boys delve back into a threesome of nonsense talk after their megathread guests last week. Plus Chris has watched Succession (mention Greg impression in some form). John Mayer - music and musicalistics.

We brought three members of the Megathread on the show to give us some of their rankings. What is the best state in the union? The answer might surprise you. Which Disney Channel Original movie is in the top 30 movies of all time? And who are the hosts of the Subbeacon/Substandard/SSEU Podcasts with the best opinions?

Draft Day? More like Daft Day! We have one question for Kevin Costner: Why? Are you in financial trouble? Listen to the boys discuss the way-too-long NFL promotional movie known as Draft Day (2014). Chris dives into a manhole, Ryan has thoughts about Adam Neumann and Thomas creates an awkward silence when he wants to discuss Odell Beckham Jr's attractiveness.

On this week's episode, Chris and Ryan gush over some space show that they have been watching. The boys also provide marriage advice although Thomas is concerned about how long those things can actually last. Chris and Ryan also get their NBA and movie skills tested in two separate quizzes.

Our own Matty joins us to chat about the 2021 film Me, You, Madness. We watched it so that you do not have to. Chris struggles to find a nice pair of shorts, we learn everything we need to know about Tysons Corner, and take a quiz on the escapades of conservative media so far this year.

JVL hops on the show to discuss the greatest dick joke of all time. We also have time for ladder porn, Flash's baseball career, and a quick preview of movies left to come out in 2021.

In this episode, we add another foreign accent to the SSEU menagerie. Shay Khatiri joins the show to chat a bit about Iran, Hungary, and his life in Phoenix/D.C. We also find out why the Bulwark editors hate him and hear Ryan trash the otherwise universally loved show Entourage.

Here is a new expansion in the ever extending SSEU extension universe. Lara, Tonya and Jan recorded the first ever Lady SSEU but never one to be upstaged Chris demanded to host.

In a first for the podcast, we are joined by an Aussie to discuss all things Vienna! Okay, maybe not. But we are joined by an Aussie. We chat about Aussie rules, disappearing prime ministers, Andrew Jackson, and how Kansas is actually just like the Gold Coast. Our guest also chose a movie starring Russell Crowe (we get a Crowe-ranking!) and Cate Blanchett to round off the episode.
