Yike and Zak decide to watch the first episode of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and mostly just gush about their feelings on it and it helps them ascend - and then they talk about spooky Halloween movies, musicals, and film in general.

Zak finally gets his deepest, darkest wish: a guest comes on the podcast to talk comics! Alex Kempsell comes on the podcast to talk about his deep dive into recent Marvel comics, as well as others. Can Yike keep up? Tune in to find out!

Zak and Yike invite on two episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine as their X-Factor this week. Specifically, episodes 3 and 4 of Season 1 ("Past Prologue" and "A Man Alone"). The greatest Star Trek character is introduced, as well as a regular character who Zak decides is not good at his job.

Also discussed - Justice League (2017)

This week, Yike and Zak watch the 2009 Quentin Tarantino film "The Inglourious Basterds" - and then immediately launch into the podcast! Listen to their immediate reactions! Yike has never seen it. Also - Y and Z talk Spider-Man 3 and Spider-Man Far From Home!

It's been a busy summer, but finally, the stars (and our schedules) align so that Caitlin Safiran can finally make her appearance on the podcast! We talk about the various HBO shows that Caitlin has been obsessed with lately (Chernobyl, Years and Years), how Twin Peaks boggled our minds (and how Riverdale sometimes does as well), and then we get real with how improv can be odd. Plus, get ready to laugh, as we introduce the second installment of the Steve Israel Memorial Joke!

In this episode, Yike and Zak discuss Spider Man, recent MCU news, and Macbeth. Additionally, we touch upon Mahershala Ali, Zak's recent Maryland escapades (and resulting feud), and the new Steve Israel Memorial Joke!

In this installment of the XYZ Podcast, we go deep into a discussion of BBC's Hollow Crown production of Henry IV Pt 1. We also touch on lots of random other Shakespeare, as well as the always discussable Game of Thrones, plus a touch of Kurosawa! Discover the tragedy of Falstaff, the daddy issues of Prince Hal, and the kiddie issues of Henry IV!

Joined by guest Zach Gray, XYZ strolls through a winding conversation about diverse topics ranging from all kinds of history, classic Disney animation, to Star Wars. It's a lot. Of everything.

This week's X-Factor......Game of Thrones! Yike and Zak talk about the often slept-on, little known HBO fantasy series that, honestly, not enough people are talking about. They decompress about the latest season, the finale, and just the series in general. BUT FIRST, they've got to talk Avengers Endgame, Zak hypes up Detective Pikachu, and Yike hypes up the Netflix Punisher show.

This week's X-Factor, Jacinda Ratcliffe, talks to us about how people are good, actually. We also discuss Dance, immersive theater, class rankings, and the weird ways we like to make our Spotify playlists.

Also, we all might be hitting our quarter life crises - UH OH.
