We are back! After a bit of a summer hiatus we have returned with perhaps our most divisive topic yet, Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania. For our previous listeners it may not be much of a surprise that Nick and Ryan have very different opinions on this movie. However, this is perhaps the furthest apart we have ever been on an MCU property. Join us as we debate the tough questions like; is this joke funny? Is this movie actually two different Star Wars movies at the same time? What exactly is Bill Murray doing? And, of course.....Ants???

We're back with an all new episode! In this installment we're going to do things a little differently as we discuss all the recent news coming out of the world of Warner Bros. and their announcement that James Gunn and his creative partner Peter Safran will take over control of all DC related content.

Then, in the second half of the episode, Nick take us on a journey through his imagining of how he would construct his own DC universe including the films and characters he would highlight as well as the overarching narrative he would weave.

In this episode Nick and Ryan are joined by Ryan's wonderful wife, Liz, to discuss their two year analytical odyssey into the greatest sitcom of all time, Seinfeld.

On this episode Nick and Ryan discuss the most recent Disney+ Star Wars series, Andor. Spoiler alert: We loved it!! We'll discuss the series as a whole, what worked (everything!), what didn't (nothing), and where it ranks amongst the other Star Wars series thus far. We'll also give some of our theories about what we might expect from a potential second season. And, as will likely be the case whenever Star Wars is discussed, Ryan pushes once again for a Star Wars, West Wing style program. Andor: 100% less lightsabers, 100% more awesome!

On this week's episode Nick and Ryan have a rousing discussion about the most recent Disney+ Star Wars series, Obi-Wan Kenobi. It is fair to say that Nick and Ryan have decidedly different takes on the success of this series. We breakdown what each of us thinks works (Ewan!), what doesn't (Hayden!) and everything in between. We also try and answer the most difficult question about this series; did we need this? Other topics include the legend that is Jimmy Smits, the oddly prolific film career of The Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea and Ryan's pitch for a Star Wars West Wing.

In this week's episode Nick and Ryan discuss the finale of season one of Moon Knight. We'll check out how it all wraps up, what might be on tap for season two and, most importantly, the introduction of an amazing new superhero. And of course, it wouldn't be a discussion of Moon Knight if we didn't dote on Oscar Isaac just a little bit because, I mean, come on?
