"I'M DONE SAVING YOU."
Despite its origins lying in the medium, there was only ever one Transformers animated movie, and it was made nearly forty years ago. After many years of more-bad-than-good live action films, Paramount and Hasbro finally announced in 2023 that the Autobots and Decepticons would return to the realm of big-screen animation - this time, in a completely new origin story about how Optimus and Megatron went from best friends to sworn enemies. So, after all this time, did they stick the landing? Tune in to find out as Brian and Alec dive into their rambling spoiler-filled thoughts on TRANSFORMERS ONE!

"I DO SEE A WAY. THERE IS A NARROW WAY THROUGH."
Despite us expecting a much shorter episode due to the smaller amount of news, the density of the topics of discussion today are far greater than we imagined. From Spider-Man 4 finally receiving a director, to concerning directions for it in light of rumors and the new trailer for Venom: The Last Dance, and PlayStation's new upgraded console being the laughingstock of the internet -- Sony's had a lot of eyes on it this week, positive and negative. So, tune in as Alec and Brian delve into it all, doompost about the state of things, and try to guess what the plan could truly be amongst the scattered concepts!

"I DON'T NEED A GUITAR... I AM A ROCKSTAR!"
Back in 2023, Xbox and Bethesda shadowdropped a game from Tango Gameworks that they were more than likely certain would fail. Instead, it became an overnight sensation, making its way to other consoles, and surviving a baffling and frustrating shutdown -- along with its studio. To celebrate the revival of Tango and their instant-hit, we figured it was high (fi) time to go all in on what we loved about it, and what we hope to see in the thankfully-still-happening sequel. So, tune in as Alec and Brian discuss one of the most acclaimed games in recent years that managed to rise from the ashes of Xbox's fumbling -- HI-FI RUSH!

NEW BOULDER PITCH COMING IN HOT!
After the Comic Con panel that can be charitably described as divisive, many fans are worrying about the direction the MCU is heading in as the Multiverse Saga reaches its crescendo, and for good reason. The boys are amongst that crowd, and they figured it was high time to make a follow-up to their Phase 4 pitches. So, tune in as Brian and Alec go in-depth on their own outlines and synopses for how they'd approach the MCU's Phase 5!

"I KNOW WE'LL MEET AGAIN SOME SUNNY DAY..."
After the monumental finale of Season One, fans of the Pines family's shenanigans were left hanging for a full calendar year before Season Two finally started in 2014. What many were unaware of, however, was that it would not only take nearly two years for all the episodes to release, but that this would also be the show's final season. Season Two of Alex Hirsch's semi-kinda-sorta-autobiographical summer tale is a rollercoaster of mystery, scares, adventure, and overwhelming love, and it's time for us to go all-in. So, come join Alec and Brian as they bid farewell (for now) to one of their favorite shows of all time as they dive into Season Two of GRAVITY FALLS!
-
"BUT HER AIM IS GETTING BETTER!"
With The Book of Bill and its ARG site sparking a resurgence of a show thought to be long gone, we figured it was high time to lace up our boots, head out into the woods, and find what mystery and weirdness await us. Born from the mind and childhood of Alex Hirsch, Gravity Falls is widely considered to be one of the greatest cartoons of all time, at the very least of the last twenty-five years. So, as two big fans who grew up with it look back on it, does that still ring true? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian return to the forests of Oregon and dive into Season One of GRAVITY FALLS!

"WOOIMBOUTTAMAKEANAMEFORMYSELFERE!"
After six long years, the Merc with the Mouth has finally returned to the big screen -- and this time, he's not alone. Wade and Logan's big buddy-comedy roadtrip has been the subject of debate since it was announced nearly two years ago, and the discourse has only heated up with every update leading to its release. Many people bat for it while accusing people of switching up, while others believe this is the mark of the beast on the art form of filmmaking. But is the movie really that extreme one way or the other? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian dive into recent news and the newest summer slop to hit the theaters -- DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE!

VICTOR VON DOOM USED TO EAT CHEESEBURGERS.
Another year, another Comic-Con down the hatch! After last year's convention was downscaled due to studios insisting on not paying actors and writers, this year's SDCC promised to be even bigger. Between so many major panels, announcements, and showcases, how could anything go wrong? It's not like that RDJ Dr. Doom rumor we joked about two weeks ago would actually come true right? Tune in as Alec and Brian face the music of San Diego Comic-Con 2024, discuss exciting reveals like My Adventures with Superman Season 3 and the Fantastic Four: First Steps trailer, and dive into the announcement that broke the internet in all the ways it didn't intend -- Robert Downey Jr.'s casting as Doctor Doom!

"YOU WILL COMPLY (AND LISTEN)..."
After the amazing first season last summer, the boys were beyond excited to see what was in store for Adult Swim's (now Toonami's) amazing new takes on Clark, Lois, and Jimmy in Season 2. Between mysteries surrounding Krypton, Amanda Waller and Task Force X, Brainiac, Kara Zor-El, and relationship drama, this new season delivered on absolutely everything we were hoping for and then some. How? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian dive in and discuss the amazing second season of MY ADVENTURES WITH SUPERMAN -- as well as what they hope to see in the future!

BABY'S FIRST YANDERE
Over eighty episodes in, we have never done an episode centering around a certain anime or manga. That changes today, for better and for worse (mostly for worse). One show that Alec watched in his youth was a popular horror-action series called The Future Diary (AKA Mirai Nikki), and upon revisiting it with a friend a couple years ago, he realized just how terrible it was... and how Brian needed to watch it one day so they could make a podcast episode about it. Today is that day. Pray for them (mostly Brian). Tune in as the boys, alongside special guest Trey (@HeyGuysItSpidey), dive into the tasteless shock and baffling storytelling of one of the most popular and divisive anime of the early 2010's -- THE FUTURE DIARY (MIRAI NIKKI)!
-
THE LAST TIME IS NOW!
Since we've missed out on the past couple weeks, we figured it was high time for another news episode, and we certainly have a lot to talk about. Between more Superman set photos and theories, a new look at the Dead Rising remaster/make, Absolute Comics gearing up for a full reveal, and the legendary John Cena announcing his retirement from WWE, we have a lot to cover, so tune in as Alec and Brian dive into all of it and more!
-
WELCOME TO GAME NIGHT!
It was the week of the Fourth of July. The boys needed an episode for the week and did not have enough time to find a topic of discussion. Brian had a suggestion. A test of will. Of strength. Of weakness. Of pride. Of humility. Of what you would do for one million dollars. Tune in as Brian and Alec have their first game night of the show with a game of Rooster Teeth's "Million Dollars, But..."!

"I THOUGHT THAT WAS NON-DIEGETIC."
After the divisive 60th Anniversary Specials from last fall, Doctor Who had a clean slate with Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor, an iteration that fans immediately latched onto in his first apearanced in The Giggle and The Church on Ruby Road. Hopes were high for his first full (yet short) season, although there were plenty of doubts going in. Could Russell T Davies come back swinging with something wholly fresh, new, and exciting? Or would it be more of the same? The answer, as you'd guess, is far more complicated than either, and we're not keeping the lock on this mystery box any longer. So, tune in as Alec and Brian look back and discuss the highs, the lows, and everything between of Ncuti Gatwa's first season of Doctor Who!

"ISN'T IT OBVIOUS? YOU'RE SPIDER-MAN."
One of the hottest books on the shelves right now, so much so that it's outsold its 616 counterpart, is none other than Hickman and Checchetto's Ultimate Spider-Man. This fresh new take on Peter Parker's story has brought in an enormous amount of readers, both new and old, and it definitely doesn't seem to be losing any steam going forward. We touched on it a bit back in January when its first issue dropped, but now that the first "arc" has wrapped up in the first six issues, how exactly is this book shaping up -- and is there anything that could be improved on? Tune in to find out as Brian and Alec jump back into the new Ultimate Universe to analyze, discuss, and theorize about Jonathan Hickman and Marco Checchetto's Ultimate Spider-Man!

MAYBE NOT EVERYTHING HAS TO BE ACCURATE...
With Season 4 finally out, and with Season 5 confirmed to be the end of the show, the boys (not THOSE boys) decided it was high time to look back on the first three seasons that started it all. When people heard Amazon was adapting Garth Ennis's poor-taste satire of superhero comics, many were perplexed and doubtful. The original book was so mean-spirited and callous on its own, how could that translate to a successful TV series? The answer is a LOT of reworking, retooling, and a whopping plate of gumption. The show's been a massive success to mostly widespread acclaim, but over the years, people have critiqued it for running out of steam and going in circles. Is that truly the case? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian look back at the first three seasons of one of Jeff Bezos' two shows about how Superman is the real bad guy seriously don't trust him -- The Boys!

AND FOR THE MAIN EVENT, BRIAN RANTS ABOUT SILENT HILL 2 AGAIN!
Since focusing on our Spider-Pitches, we've missed out on a lot from the past few weeks. Between news, comics, trailers, and more, there's a whole lot to cover and way too much time on our hands to do it, And one of those things is a game that has haunted Brian for the past two years. Oh boy. In this jam-packed episode, tune in as Brian and Alec discuss as much news from the past three weeks as possible, from new trailers like Venom: The Last Dance and Alien: Romulus, to new shows like The Acolyte and My Adventures with Superman Season 2, and of course, another roast of Bloober Team's Silent Hill 2 Remake!

MOM SAID IT'S BRIAN'S TURN TO PITCH!
After Alec's Ultimate Spider-Man pitch went way longer than expected last week, Brian has taken extra time to gear up for his own. While Alec went in a more 00's TV-14 teen drama route, Brian's taking a stab at his own take on the wall-crawler in an animated kids' show format, a la The Animated Series and Spectacular. Between master planners, Sinister Sixes, and more, Brian's pitch for the webhead has it all, so tune in as he presents to Alec his ideas and roadmap for a new Spidey show -- THE SENSATIONAL SPIDER-MAN!

ALEC'S LONGEST YAP SESSION EVER!
It's time for yet another session of everyone's favorite sub-series of the show: Boulder Pitch! This time, the boys have something so big that they can't fit it in one episode, let alone one week -- their pitches, concepts, and ideas for their own takes on Spider-Man! Tune into part one this week as Alec presents to Brian (and all of you) something he's been formulating for over a decade -- a full adaptation of Bendis and Bagley's Ultimate Spider-Man!

"I CAN'T FEEL YOU."
Anyone who was a Marvel fan as a kid in the 90's, 00's, even 10's probably remembers watching X-Men: The Animated Series, whether it be during syndication or reruns. It was one of the most popular shows of the 90's and put Marvel on an equal playing field with DC's heavy-hitters like Batman: The Animated Series. So, when the continuation was announced in late 2021, many people were excited, but didn't know what to expect. How do you make a continuation to the one show that had an actual ending from that time period and make it relevant today? This is the answer. Tune in as Alec and Brian dive into Marvel's most acclaimed adaptation in years -- X-MEN '97!

XBOX: THE OUROBOROS OF THE GAMES INDUSTRY.
We were planning for this week's topic to be of a much lighter nature, but the one we picked instead was too big and too infuriating to ignore. Xbox/Microsoft has been the poster child for bad business decisions ever since the reveal of the Xbox One eleven years ago, and they've only gotten bafflingly worse. From layoffs, to cancellations, to near-100 Billion dollar acquisitions of megacorps setting worrisome precedents, they've been notoriously bad at being a game company, but the news from the past few days has taken the cake. Xbox announced they were immediately shutting down four of Bethesda's Studios for the most infuriating and baffling of reasons, and we have a lot to say about it and the man at the head of it all. So, tune in as Alec and Brian dig into Microsoft, their issues, the fallout, and what needs to change before they fall apart entirely.
