In this episode, we kick things off by recounting an AFI concert experience, diving into the highs, the unspoken rules of concert etiquette, and the ever-rising cost of seeing your favorite bands live—because apparently financial responsibility takes a night off when tickets drop. From there, we wrap things up by breaking down the final two episodes of Wonder Man, asking the big questions: do we finally get the answers we’ve been waiting for, and does the ending actually deliver? Our discussion may not solve everything (shocking, I know), but it just might help you decide if the payoff was worth the ride.

In this episode, we dive into the latest installment of Wonder Man, once again clinging to the hope that long-awaited answers are just around the corner—though our track record for patience may suggest otherwise. Tune in to find out whether clarity finally arrives. The discussion also features an unfiltered rant on the state of comedy (minus the mysteriously missing ten minutes) and wraps up with a spirited conversation about Portland Trail Blazers basketball, celebrating the pride and passion of Rip City.

In this episode, we explore the consequences of trying to discuss movies and shows without actually keeping up with the required viewing—something that, admittedly, never backfires until it very much does—and make the case that anyone weighing in should probably have done their homework. We then shift into a critique of Star Wars, revisiting the shortcomings of the sequel trilogy while highlighting how some of the expanded universe books delivered far stronger storytelling and represented major missed opportunities for adaptation. Finally, we turn our attention to the latest episode of Wonder Man, cautiously optimistic that it might start answering lingering questions, though history suggests we may be getting ahead of ourselves just a bit.

In this episode, we kick things off with a hefty dose of pro wrestling talk, diving into recent happenings in All Elite Wrestling and even entertaining the possibility—however unlikely—that someone from the company might stumble across our ongoing banter. From there, we shift gears to discuss the latest episode of Wonder Man, breaking down developments and debating whether any of our lingering questions are finally getting answered, or if we’re just getting better at asking them while still missing the obvious.

In this episode, we dive into the difference between average covers and truly great covers, and why some artists manage to reinvent a song while others just karaoke it with a bigger budget, before moving into the latest music news and a discussion about songs from movie soundtracks that ended up being better remembered than the films themselves. From there, we get into our hopes, expectations, and cautious optimism about the upcoming Street Fighter movie, including how it might improve on—or at least learn from—the 1994 version, which set a bar that is, depending on your perspective, either historically bad or weirdly entertaining. To wrap things up, we preview the next episode of WonderMan and where we think the story is heading, which will probably prove that our predictions are once again only accidentally correct at best.

53 min - 192. Surprise Third
Send us Fan Mail
In this episode, we come to the sobering realization that our heavy-drinking era may have officially run its course—whether by wisdom, age, or simple survival instincts—and we explore what healthier (or at least slightly less reckless) options might replace it. From there, we dive into the second episode of Wonderman, comparing our earlier predictions and expectations with what actually made it to the screen and deciding where the show seems to be heading. We wrap things up with a quick preview of AEW Revolution, running through what we’re looking forward to and what could steal the show—while also acknowledging that, like most of our predictions, there’s a decent chance we’ll be hilariously wrong by next week.

50 min - 191. Not our Doug
Send us Fan Mail
In this episode, we kick things off with a few happenings from the comedy world, debate the unspoken rules about “earning” your tattoos, and wander through a handful of other random topics before turning our attention to the latest MCU series, Wonderman. From there, we dig into how the show stacks up against its comic book roots and whether it even needs to follow them that closely in the first place. We also tackle a classic power-scaling argument—who actually comes out on top between Sentry and Thor—while trying to sound at least somewhat authoritative about it. Whether we succeed or just confidently guess is, of course, part of the fun.
