Episode 115 - Captain Marvel!

March 5, 2019

We hope you’re as excited as we are to see the MCU’s upcoming Captain Marvel !!! Coming out this Friday, March 8th in theaters everywhere! So, for this episode, we take you through the history of the character, and the name “Captain Marvel” itself. It’s had a long history of changing companies, and changing the characters that used that name! So join us for all the info you need before you jump in the theater this weekend.

But that’s not all! We also cover tons of movie news, talk about other famous female superheroes, give some Radical Recommends, and review trailers for the upcoming Dark Phoenix and the Elton John bio-pic, Rocketman.

Episode 102 - Get to the Choppa!

September 20, 2018

In “honor” of the new film “The Predator” releasing in theaters, we bring you our in depth review of the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger classic, Predator! We’ll take you through every gunshot, explosion and cheesy one liner. We’ll also go over the timeline of the entire Predator film franchise. It’s a doozy.

For Nerdy News we cover the progress lab grown meat has made in the last couple of years, and the future of The Walking Dead franchise.

Then enjoy a short history lesson of a real hunter/predator from American history, Buffalo Bill!

We even made time for Would You Rather, Radical Recommends and Trailer Reviews of the horror comedy Killer Kate and the much anticipated Marvel flick, Captain Marvel!

Episode 61 - The Dark Crystal and Zero Charisma

June 7, 2016

This week we introduce a brand new feature segment to the podcast: Retro Retrospective! Both Steve and Jarman pick one of their favorite movies that the other has not seen, and then they join up on the podcast to review them with each other. In future iterations of this segment they will surely not agree on why each movie should be a favorite, but this time around, they do! For this episode we review one of Steve's favorites, The Dark Crystal, from the genius mind of Jim Henson; and for one of Jarman's favorites, we review Zero Charisma, a film all about a misfit who runs some serious games of Dungeons and Dragons. Let us know what you think of the new segment!

For Nerdy News Steve tells us of 99 million year old ants and why human babies are so useless, and Jarman regales us with news of possible Captain Marvel casting in the MCU and how Elon Musk thinks we are definitely living in a computer simulation.

For Trailer Reviews we have the new and improved Star Trek Beyond trailer and the Mark Strong lonesome in space flick, Exploring the Unknown.
