  197. Better Than You Think Pt. 2 20.04.2026 53min

  Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we kick things off by recounting an AFI concert experience, diving into the highs, the unspoken rules of concert etiquette, and the ever-rising cost of seeing your favorite bands live—because apparently financial responsibility takes a night off when tickets drop. From there, we wrap things up by breaking down the final two episodes of Wonder Man, asking the big questions: do we finally get the answers we’ve been waiting for, and does the ending actually deli...

  195. Gutter 05.04.2026 48min

  Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we explore the consequences of trying to discuss movies and shows without actually keeping up with the required viewing—something that, admittedly, never backfires until it very much does—and make the case that anyone weighing in should probably have done their homework. We then shift into a critique of Star Wars, revisiting the shortcomings of the sequel trilogy while highlighting how some of the expanded universe books delivered far stronger storytelling an...

  193. Match Trailer Music 21.03.2026 52min

  Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we dive into the difference between average covers and truly great covers, and why some artists manage to reinvent a song while others just karaoke it with a bigger budget, before moving into the latest music news and a discussion about songs from movie soundtracks that ended up being better remembered than the films themselves. From there, we get into our hopes, expectations, and cautious optimism about the upcoming Street Fighter movie, including how it mig...

  192. Surprise Third 16.03.2026 49min

  Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we come to the sobering realization that our heavy-drinking era may have officially run its course—whether by wisdom, age, or simple survival instincts—and we explore what healthier (or at least slightly less reckless) options might replace it. From there, we dive into the second episode of Wonderman, comparing our earlier predictions and expectations with what actually made it to the screen and deciding where the show seems to be heading. We wrap things up w...

  191. Not our Doug 07.03.2026 43min

  Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we kick things off with a few happenings from the comedy world, debate the unspoken rules about “earning” your tattoos, and wander through a handful of other random topics before turning our attention to the latest MCU series, Wonderman. From there, we dig into how the show stacks up against its comic book roots and whether it even needs to follow them that closely in the first place. We also tackle a classic power-scaling argument—who actually comes out on t...

  190. Butlering 28.02.2026 44min

  Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we briefly dive into Wonder Man and how it connects to the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe, unpack the early concerns surrounding Scream 7, and question whether Underworld 6 is a sequel anyone truly asked for (though we’ll probably watch it anyway). We then wrap up with the season finale of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, reflecting on how our week-by-week viewing and discussion format shaped the experience—turns out patience can pay off, even if we occasion...

  189. Gray Matter 21.02.2026 51min

  Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we attempt to untangle the spectacle, surprises, and occasional confusion of the Super Bowl Halftime Show—yes, both of them—offering our completely reasonable and possibly overconfident analysis of what worked, what didn’t, and what we’re still trying to process. From there, we head back to Westeros to break down the latest episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, digging into the political tension, quiet character moments, and looming implications for the ...

  186. Master Blaster 30.01.2026 30min

  Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we dive into the first two episodes of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, unpacking what they could mean in the aftermath of House of the Dragon and the long shadow of Game of Thrones. Along the way, we theorize wildly, connect a few dots we’re pretty sure exist, and struggle just enough to recall character names and finer details to keep things interesting. It’s part analysis, part speculation, and part frantic mental gymnastics—exactly the kind of journey West...

  185. Effective As Eight 26.01.2026 50min

  Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we break down the Stranger Things season five finale and tackle the big questions: was it mind-blowing, underwhelming, or the rare finale that actually stuck the landing? We dig into the emotional payoffs, lingering mysteries, and whether Hawkins got the sendoff it deserved. If you’ve listened to us before, you can probably predict where we land—but half the fun is hearing how confidently we get there. Tune in for thoughtful analysis, a few hot takes, and jus...

  184. Adjacent 12.01.2026 58min

  Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we bounce through a wide range of topics, starting with our shared disdain for hackers, scammers, and the exhausting reality of living in a hyper-online digital age, before detouring into video games and the New Game Plus modes. As the chaos naturally builds, we sprinkle in plenty of off-the-rails tangents and questionable observations, eventually finding our way back to familiar territory where we’re at our best: horror movies. We dig into recent genre entri...

  Send us Fan Mail In Part 2 of our year-end episode, we bounce effortlessly (and occasionally recklessly) from Peacemaker Season 2 speculation to the latest celebrity gossip that somehow demanded our attention, before settling into a very long, very passionate discussion of the Mission: Impossible franchise and its increasingly unhinged commitment to practical stunts. Along the way, we briefly tip our hat to the Daniel Craig era of James Bond—because ignoring it entirely felt wrong—then spiral...

  182. Rage Bait Monkey Pt. 1 22.12.2025 41min

  Send us Fan Mail In this year-end episode, the YAI somehow achieve a mythical 100% completion rate, unlocking the rare ability to talk about everything without immediately derailing (mostly). The conversation veers through a rogues’ gallery of hack movie directors, unapologetic and highly questionable movie banter, and a full breakdown of Welcome to Derry, including how the season stacks up against its source material. It’s a loose, occasionally unhinged wrap-up that blends sharp opinions, po...

  181. 2.4 Million 08.12.2025 57min

  Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we bravely wade into the misery of winter, complain just enough to remind everyone we’re definitely not built for cold weather, and accidentally reveal a bit more about our ethnic backgrounds than we planned. We break down our questionable Black Friday hauls, proudly admit to still not watching the Avatar movies (and doubling down on avoiding certain directors’ future projects), and wrap it all up with a few AEW predictions that are almost guaranteed to age p...

  180. The Patchy Podcast 24.11.2025 1t 22min

  Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Bryan joins us in a rare attempt to create a podcast where everyone has actually seen the same movies and shows—an achievement that, frankly, deserves a medal. We dive into the film Weapons, explore TV series like Welcome to Derry, speculate about the upcoming The Dark Tower, and, of course, wade through our usual swamp of MCU rumors and nonsense. It’s chaotic, it’s questionable, but somehow it’s still entertaining—enjoy! Follow us on Instagram: https://www.i...
