The boys start with Invincible on Amazon Prime Video. Breaking down why the series works even when the “main hero shows up and wins” feels inevitable. Then we jump to Netflix for Peaky Blinders the movie! We talk about what the original series does best, why the movie lands as a solid but frustrating watch for us. After that, we discuss about one of our favorite topics: plot twists versus reveals. Last but not least BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: WBM Podcast is coming back to Comicpalooza 2026 at the George R. Brown Convention Center with a live episode on the show floor!

The boys are over the play on this one. They jump from Chicago travel stories to a Gundam shopping sprees, then they dive into a fast-paced, messy, and surprisingly thoughtful mix of TV, medicine, mindset, and musicals. We review HBO Max’s The Pit, break down flow state rituals, then take a dark ride through the plot of Sunset Boulevard the musical.

The year flew by, and somehow we packed it with platform drama, late-night queues, and more hot takes than a Reddit thread. We kick things off with the TikTok scare and a heartfelt moment for the legends we lost, then pivot into why League of Legends feels like 3D chess with strangers. Our pop culture tour doesn’t stop there. We weigh Stranger Things season five against sky-high expectations, question what counts as canon, and speculate on time-bending endings without spoiling the fun. Looking ahead, we share a curated watchlist for 2026, Black Clover, Slime, Solo Leveling, Shangri-La Frontier, and more. Plus which movies actually have us excited.
