Part two of our Other Wonders series. In a post-Nirvana world what *does* sex and candy smell like? We travel through some of the best bangers of the 90s, the lackluster followups that didn't make a splash, take a pit stop or two along the way to the *checks notes* Digimon Movie? And end with the grandaddy of them all.

Time to look all the way back towards All In, wondering what the hell the Hell in a Cell ending was, realizing the Mae Young Classic may be cursed, and hard selling two of the best matches of the year out of NXT and NJPW.

The second part of our films by popular and great directors. Our favorites from Scorsese, Coens, Tarantino, Spielberg, and more. Remember, there are no wrong answers…. Except Swept Away by Guy Ritchie. Just. No.

Have a lot to say about a director’s “weaker” movies? Are we the only people you’ve met who don’t like a popular work of Kubrick, Scorsese, Spielberg, or Tarantino? Listen to us shamelessly run through popular films of great directors that we just can’t seem to enjoy. Remember, there’s no correct answers here. We’re not long for disliking them, and you’re not wrong if you love them. Hopefully you hear an opinion that vindicates you… or you end up yelling at your phone. Either way, win win.

Can’t stop rambling about movies? Neither can we! Join us as we struggle to scram as many sci-fi films from 2010-2012 in a limited amount of time because fate and the frailty of the human body has decided we can’t podcast and we will fight fate! We will fight mortality! We will fight the oppressive machines! Until we can’t...

We bring you a new musical mini series called The Other Wonders. Looking back at 15 one hit wonders and hearing the second highest charting song behind that monster hit to see if it compares and what made us not too interested in making them more than the wonders they are. Join us as we listen to the disappointing second children after hit such as “Heat of the Moment,” “Whip It,” “You Spin Me Round,” “Electric Avenue,” “Safety Dance,” “Take on Me,” and more!

There’s a whole lot of wrestling going on! July and August were host to a 20 man 20 night tournament in New Japan Pro Wrestling, Impact Wrestling’s Slammiversary PPV, NXT Takeover Brooklyn 4, and WWE Summerslam! One of the ensest 50 days in wrestling in 2018 resulting in some of the most predictable outcomes, and yet, the most uncertain future of wrestling for the next 6 months! Even if you don’t know what’s going on, give it a try. There may be something you like stuffed in our extra-long monthly wrestling spectacular.

Going backwards in time it’s part 1 of our great Marvel Cinematic Universe discussion. Starting with the 2018 films; Ant-Man and the Wasp, Infinity War, and Black Panther. Including discussion about where the universe is headed and how Captain Marvel and the conclusion of the Thanos saga will play out.

An episode of music! 8 favorite albums of a persnickety metalhead who looks for lush layers and masterful anthemic choruses! Also including an aggressive optimist who wants to take you to the far away past of fall 2017 and reinfect you with 8 alt pop hits you couldn't escape then and can't escape now. Including a catch-up news segment of Comic-Con trailers and digital card games we still addictively play for some reason.
