Episode 01. Welcome to a new era! The Whatnauts is a pop culture gabfest with a decade of history behind it. Your hosts Kyle and Melissa kick off the new podcast with context on our past shows, traditions, trends, and running jokes, and how this new show is the same conversations in one more streamlined package. New mask, same task! We discuss our favorite media from 2025, talk about our story trope bingo sheets for 2026, catch up on movie trailers and casting news, review a new M&Ms flavor, and begin a multi-year project to predict obscure Marvel characters who will appear in either Doomsday or Secret Wars.

We're celebrating 10 years of The Whatnauts with an end of the year "grand prix" because you can call anything a grand prix, there's no rules stopping you! Two people talking about pizza can be a grand prix!! Kyle sees a chicken. Melissa sees a big glove. Between the two of us, we've seen Tenet 3.5 times and Interstellar 1 time and we're going to try to understand both. We also give out the yearly Review Show superlatives, recap the F1 season finale and the Game of the Year awards, imagine a Scrabble game that takes up your whole house, and talk about cow cinema.

Starting in 2026 we are smashing all our podcasts into one. A single show. A single RSS feed. We are still going to be doing the same kinds of things we have done on other podcasts in the past, but now all on one show. This is just a "zero" episode to get our RSS feed up and running as well as provide a little more context as to what we are doing and why. So go subscribe, and we will see you on the first episode coming soon.
