This wasn’t on my bingo card for 2026. The first live-action Spider-Man TV series since the 1970s stars 62-year-old Nicolas Cage in 1930s New York, doing a Humphrey Bogart impression. The show is available in both black-and-white and color, and it kicks off with “Step Into My Office,” introducing Ben Reilly as a down-on-his-luck private investigator who has retired his superhero identity, The Spider, after his fiancée’s passing. Naturally, the series doesn’t plan on letting him stay retired for long. On the podcast, we break down the pilot, discuss our favorite and least favorite parts, decide whether black-and-white or color is the way to go, and land on our ultimate rating. Tune in.

I get this is a comedy, but what's up with all the clickbait titles? Physical, Still-Up, Maximum Pleasure... Lesson's in Chemistry, Yeah! I count that too, Apple. This show stars Tatiana Maslany hulking mad when she’s blackmailed, harassed, and humiliated in the middle of a messy divorce. On the podcast, we discuss the first two episodes, “Magnets” and “YABA (You’re a Bad Ass… Harry Potter)" as well as the characters, comparisons, reception, and rating. How feasible is this thriller? Is Jake Johnson still funny? Can a child survive on sugar alone? These are some of the questions we cover. Tune in and enjoy. Welcome to Today’s Episode!

No one knows if animation is thriving or dying. Smiling Friends cancelled itself, Stranger Things '85 wasn't great. For every Invincible, there's a Kevin. If only there were a way for these poor networks like Cartoon Network to pick up a series they knew audiences would like.

Introducing Regular Show: The Lost Tapes. Three episodes are out right now! Cartoon Network decided, in all their wisdom, to do something utterly unheard of... bring a show back. We know, it's crazy. Hopefully no one steals this genius idea.

On this podcast, we take a look at the revival of J. G. Quintel's Regular Show. We see if it still holds up. We talk some trivia. We talk about the reception. Tune in to hear our rating and whether this comeback deserves to land among the best or worst shows of 2026.

Is this even technically a TV show? Eh, specials count. When Jon Bernthal isn't cooking on The Bear, he's cooking down the streets of Gotham... I mean Hell's Kitchen, right? I feel like Jon Bernthal is from, like, Long Island... Wait, just checked... California. Weird. Must be the angriest Californian I've ever met.

Anyways, on this podcast we talk about him mowing down criminals, probably going back in time to save his pet dog or something. Idk, you'll have to tune in to hear our explanation, our comparisons, and whether people liked it (they probably did).

So many people complained about the wait between Stranger Things seasons that Netflix made sure there was no way to escape its most valuable franchise, even after the main show ended.

Completing the Hangover saga, Zach Galifianakis is at it again: interviewing kids, learning about vegetables, and sneaking between ferns in a campaign to find out if he can follow the likes of Nick Offerman and Jeremy Clarkson into the world of agriculture.

Denzel Washington is 71, Scott Glenn is 87, and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is 39. Add them together and you get 197, a prime number. Coincidence? No way.

The pilot reintroduces Creasy in a different type story than we've seen before.

Half Man is like A24’s 21 Jump Street. Richard Gadd’s latest kicks off its six-episode run with a queasy coming-of-age story. Episode 1 sets up two timelines, focusing on the relationship between a brother-esque duo as they navigate dysfunctional authority figures, warped bullying power dynamics, and the psychosexual chaos of adolescence. On the pod, we unpack, in lighthearted conversation, what this dark comedy-drama has in store: standout moments, performances, comparisons, and our thoughts on Gadd and his previous series, Baby Reindeer, plus what the reception has been so far.
