The Idiots discuss the Netflix comic book movie The Old Guard. Released in 2020, and starring Charlize Theron, Kiki Layne, and Matthias Schoenaerts, The Old Guard is based off the 2017 Image comic of the same name and follows a group of immortal soldiers and an organization that wants to capture them and use them for personal gain. It features a diverse cast, and a great mix of action, humor, and social commentary. Well worth the watch, if for no other reason that Charlize Theron with an axe.

The Idiots discuss gatekeeping, the issues with it, and the issues it causes in communities. We've all heard of it, most of us have seen it happen, some of us have participated in it (intentionally or not), and some of us have been victims of it. The act of keeping people out of a community or hobby because you don't think they belong. They're the wrong gender, the wrong skin color, the wrong sexuality, not enough of a fan. There's another kind of gatekeeping too though, one that's more widespread and more insidious. Note: Being excluded as a consequence of your actions is not gatekeeping. Second note: We get more political than we normally do in this episode, you have been warned.

The Idiots engage in MORTAL KOMBAT!! as they discuss this 2021 adaptation of the popular fighting game franchise. Released on HBO Max, with a cast of relative unknowns (Lewis Tan, Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Joe Taslim, and Mehcad Brooks make up the primary cast) and based off a video game, Mortal Kombat has all the makings of a complete dumpster fire of a movie. Somehow though, they got the right mix of serious and camp in the writing, and a cast who could pull it off and they made it work better than it ever should have, leading to the rare instance of a video game movie that's not a steaming pile of dung.

Zolgar reviews the action/horror indie comic Siege Town from Witching Hour Comics. Siege Town is written by Benjamin Ruffet, illustrated by Andrey Portilla, with colors by Cristian Ramirez. A brutal, bloody fight for survival from a team I'd love to see more from.  This comic was received free for the purposes of reviewing. I try not to let that influence my reviews, but I am always transparent about it. If you want to pick yourself up a copy, you can find it on Witching Hour's Etsy shop. -- https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/WitchingHourComics Be sure to check out One Mic: Black History -- https://www.onemichistory.com/ Like what we do and want to support us? -- https://www.Patreon.com/tiaadmedia -- https://www.ko-fi.com/tiaadmedia/shop Want to send Kaiju fanmail, or tell the Idiots how wrong their opinions are? -- [email protected] Find us on: -- https://www.podpage.com/tiaadmedia/ -- https://www.twitter.com/tiaadmedia -- https://www.facebook.com/tiaadmedia -- https://www.instagram.com/tiaadmedia Sign up for our mailing list for major news and updates.

We threatened to do it back in the first episode of Unleashed (Stupid Weapons in Media), this week we did it. We're talking about the weapons of RWBY. Originally releasing in 2013, RWBY (pronounced 'Ruby') is an anime-inspired American animated series, featuring stylistic art and a lot of focus on specific colors... and some of the most asinine weapons ever created for a media property. Cool, but asinine. Join us as we dive into some of these weapons and discuss how cool, and absolutely impossible and/or impractical they are. The episode sponsored by our friend AthanMortis. Go check out his fan fiction; I've heard it's not the worst thing on the internet. -- https://www.fanfiction.net/u/1547703/AthanMortis Be sure to also check out our friends over at The Gruesome Twosome Movie Reviewsome. -- https://open.spotify.com/show/7CJCWZG3ycZd4YN2oakzH9 Like what we do?

Netflix surprised us with Episode 11 of The Sandman, so of course the Idiots had to talk about it! Spoiler warning: If you have not watched episode 11 or read issues 17 and 18, there are spoilers contained herein. Lots of spoilers. There's several little side stories within The Sandman, some hint at bigger things to come, some are just cool little standalones, following season 1 which gave us the first two major arcs from the comics, they decided to stealth drop one more episode that contains two of these side stories. The Dream of 1000 Cats, an animated feature wherein we experience Dream and dreams from the perspective of a cat. Calliope, the story of a Muse enslaved by a mortal, forced to give him inspiration to make him a successful author. With some absolutely stellar casting in both. It definitely stands up to the rest of Sandman. Netflix, Season 2 when?

This week, Zolgar talks about the dark erotic supernatural mystery series Unnatural, written and illustrated by Mirka Andolfo and published by Image Comics. Unnatural is one of those books that is kind of all over the place, but it works so well. It's a solid, well written story that is sexy without relying solely on sex appeal to sell, especially since the main character isn't typical comic book sexy.

The Idiots decided to shake things up something fierce and discuss Sandman, both the Netflix series and to a lesser extent the comic. Spoiler warning: We give our general, spoiler free impressions of the show in the first 39 minutes. After 40 minutes, we go into full on spoiler discussion. We do give a warning with plenty of time to stop the episode though if you want to only listen to the spoiler free portion. We had been wanting to do an episode of what we dubbed Serial Idiocy for a while now, but it's a serious time investment, both to watch a show and record, and we just couldn't agree on a show that was strong enough to warrant that kind of work load. Enter Sandman (exit light, enter night....), the Netflix adaptation of Neil Gaiman's masterfully written, dark, twisted, and fantastical comic series which ran from 1989 to 1996. Production companies have been courting Gaiman trying to adapt Sandman for decades, and every time he has turned them down because the comic is his baby. It is widely considered to be one of the greatest comics ever written, and often considered one of the greatest things Gaiman has ever written (both of which are very high bars indeed). As an aside, if you want to be disgusted, go see if you can find some of the "adaptation" ideas that were shopped to Gaiman. This group though? They did something right, they got Gaiman to sign on, and in the years they spent producing the show, Neil has been excited about it, praising the set work, the casting, the writing, everything. It couldn't POSSIBLY live up to the comic, could it? It couldn't be that good, could it? Yes, yes it could. I could sing the praises of The Sandman for hours in the show notes, but then you wouldn't have a reason to listen to the episode. Again, a warning, if you're concerned about spoilers, stop the episode at around 39:30.

Zolgar returns to the works of the mad genius, Neil Gaiman, for Sandman Volume 2: The Doll's House. I wasn't originally that taken in by The Sandman when I read Volume 1, so I decided it was only fair that I give it a real chance. Does the series hook it's claws into me with the next 8 issues, or is it just not my cup of tea? You'll have to listen to find out. I hadn't planned on doing an episode on Sandman Volume 2 so soon, but with the show releasing I needed to read it before I watched the show. Also, I might be shamelessly chasing trends right now.

The Idiots decide to return to the universe of Star Wars to talk about just how screwed up the Clone Wars is. Two slave armies killing each other to further the aims of one man, literal children not only fighting in the war but put in command positions, and so much more. This horrific event shook the entire galaxy, killing millions, destroying homes, livelihoods, etc. sounds like great fare for a kids show! But, the Clone Wars is great, you should watch it if you haven't already. Be sure to check out our friends over at Chatsunami for more nerdy pop-culture nonsense. With a Scottish accent. *grumble* I want an accent that makes me sound cool, but no, I'm stuck with this Southwest accent. -- https://www.podpage.com/chatsunami/ Like what we do?
