Episodes
EP 157 - Homie, It is Intact
"YEAH! VIDEO GAME!"After many years of bad films, many years of good games, and many moons of unbearable accuracy discourse, the first good Resident Evil movie has finally been released! So, what do the boys think of it? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian discuss recent news (including Born Again Season 3, Star Wars Episode X, and the unforeseen Clone Saga show), as well as their spoiler-filled thoughts on Zach Cregger's RESIDENT EVIL!
EP 156 - Hawkcock: A Wolverine Story
"SHE'S LIKE A PHOENIX, THAT WOMAN!" When Wolverine was first revealed five years ago, nobody could predict the tumultuous saga it would face in the coming years. Insomniac's reputation declining amidst dissatisfied fan reception to Spider-Man 2, an unprecedented cyberattack resulting in hours of footage and an entire story outline leaked, pressure from no further updates for nearly two years, being caught in the crossfire amidst culture wars and PlayStation's (and the industry's) worst year in ages, it's been a long, windy road to release that would've made it all worth it if the game stuck the landing. Well, it kinda did, and kinda didn't, but in what ways? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian go all-in on the spoiler-filled insanity that is Insomniac's most fascinating and divisive Marvel game to date -- MARVEL'S WOLVERINE!
EP 155 - It's a Calling
"ACTING IS THE SUM OF EVERYTHING YOU'VE EXPERIENCED." If you guys have been following us throughout the year, you know Brian's been trying to get Alec to watch Wonder Man for the past eight months. Because he didn't, the show got cancelled. Now he has worked to make amends by finally watching the eight episodes he was told were made for him. He was told the truth. He is sorry. So, tune in as Alec and Brian talk all about Marvel's surprise television hit of the year (and the show they cancelled after renewing) -- WONDER MAN!
EP 154 - The News of the Game(s)
YAO MING ALMOST CRIED WHEN HE SAW THE STATE OF PLAYS. As we near the final quarter of 2026, video game news and releases are starting to heat up. Between all the games trying to launch without being impacted by GTAVI, and all the footage making its way from hacked hard drives to the internet, you'd think actual showcases would have more to, well, show. Oh well, we still got a few things to ramble about. So, tune in as Alec and Brian go over all the news from the last couple weeks, including new looks at GRAND THEFT AUTO VI and WOLVERINE, as well as the leaked trailer for Motive's IRON MAN game!
EP 153 - The Future Belongs to Everyone
"AND I'M TAKING IT BACK." Ever since My Adventures with Superman premiered three years ago, we at Boulder Punch have been undeniably hooked, with its second season especially being one of our favorite DC things in recent memory. The past two years waiting for Season 3 have been long, but now it's finally out! While there is plenty to love, including arguably the best episode of the entire show, there are some low points that leave quite a bit to be desired. But with an uncertain future looming, what do we really think of this season? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian go over recent news, as well as their spoiler-filled thoughts on MY ADVENTURES WITH SUPERMAN Season 3 -- alongside what the future holds!
EP 152 - I Have Faith
YAO MING ALMOST CRIED WHEN HE SAW THE CURRENT STATE OF X-MEN '97. After two and a half years alongside a creative shakeup, the second season of X-MEN '97 is finally here! While the season's had its fair share of highs, it's also had some pretty dizzying lows -- so much that people are worrying for the future of the show. So, what did we think of it? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian go over recent news (Paramount/WBD Merger, the state of DC, WOLVERINE gameplay, BEYOND THE SPIDER-VERSE updates, and casting for the X-MEN movie) alongside their spoiler-filled thoughts on X-MEN '97 Season 2!
EP 151 - The One After Brand New Day
NOW WHAT? With Brand New Day dominating the box office, it's time to take a look at all the news we missed and see what's coming next. The view is more mixed than we'd like it to be, but it must be scoped out nonetheless. So, tune in as Alec and Brian go over all the biggest bits from the past two weeks, including Marvel's SDCC panel, the new LANTERNS trailer, the cancellation of WONDER MAN, and the castings of Emma Frost and Cyclops in the upcoming X-MEN movie!
EP 150 - Brand New Day (ft. HeyGuysItSpidey & @gwenstacying)
"I'M BOTH." Happy Spider-Man Day! After four and a half years of trial and error, creative differences, versions tossed in the trash, and so, so much waiting, the next chapter in Peter Parker's live-action saga has finally arrived! The film is garnering mass amounts of praise and unforeseen financial success for the webhead, but what do we think of it? Tune in to find out as Alec, Brian, and guests Trey and Darby mark the 150th Episode of the show with their spoiler-filled thoughts on SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY!
EP 149 - The One Before Brand New Day
ONE LAST LOOK BEFORE THE DAWN BREAKS. Had a little hiatus again. Oopsie daisy! Time to recap. Before Brand New Day releases in a few days, come join Alec and Brian as they round up as much news from the past few weeks as they can, from Marvel's new EIC and the latest at DC all the way to trailers for AVATAR AANG: THE LAST AIRBENDER, AVATAR: SEVEN HAVENS, Marvel's WOLVERINE, CLAYFACE, RESIDENT EVIL, and AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY!
EP 148 - It's Over
SOON WE WILL OWN NOTHING! Last week capping off with the second season of a bad adaptation and a bad entry in a cinematic universe seemed to bode badly for this week. A lot of things have happened, and while some of it's good, most is, uhh... concerning. So, tune in as Alec and Brian dive through all the big pop culture stuff of the past week, including more on NATLA Season 2, SUPERGIRL and the DCU, the PERSONA live action Netflix series, and the new awful updates from Xbox and PlayStation, including the latter's decision to end physical discs for good!
EP 147 - Revenge is (Not) the Answer
WHAT DOES LOBO EVEN DO? After Superman got the DCU off to a (debatably) good start, many were excited to see where Kara Zor-El's first cinematic outing in forty years would take things next. Her film being adapted from a singular critically-acclaimed comic seemed to be the perfect recipe for a surefire hit. Unfortunately, both critically and commercially, that has not seemed to pass. So, what happened? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian go all in on the spoilers and questionable choices behind the fourth chapter of the DCU -- SUPERGIRL!
EP 146 - Absolute News
THE BRAVE AND THE DIRE. Oh boy, Alec and Brian had a main topic but got carried away with the news section! How exciting! Anyway, y'all know the drill. Tune in as Alec and Brian pre-game for their Supergirl discussion with big things from the past week, including the return of Elodie Yung as Elektra, MY ADVENTURES WITH GREEN LANTERN, the ABSOLUTE BATMAN animated series, and the long-dreaded NETFLIX AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER Season 2!
EP 145 - Out with the Old, In with the Brand New
"I'M LOSING MY MIND..." Another week brings another round of news, some big, some small that eventually spin out into broader conversations. Either way, our favorite web-head finally has a new trailer, so it's time to lock in. Tune in as Alec and Brian go over recent news, trailers, and thoughts, from the WB/Paramount merger, to Chris Evans returning in SECRET WARS, to Jessica Cruz in MY ADVENTURES WITH SUPERMAN Season 3, to the recent failures of films like THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU, and the highly-anticipated trailer for SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY!
EP 144 - The Good News, The Bad News, & The Who News
BRING ON THE WILDERNESS YEARS PART TWO! We planned on talking about Mandalorian and Grogu this episode, but too much happened in the past week for us to condense. Game showcases, leaks, and the official (for-now) sunsetting of the longest-running sci-fi show of all time didn't really leave us with much room to talk about a vapid movie. So, tune in as Alec and Brian go over the biggest bits from the past week, including RESIDENT EVIL: VERONICA, THE WOLF AMONG US 2, GODZILLA: DESTROY ALL MONSTERS MELEE REMASTERED, PERSONA 4 REVIVAL AND PERSONA 6, MY ADVENTURES WITH SUPERMAN SEASON 3, and of course -- the end of DOCTOR WHO for the foreseeable future!
EP 143 - Drowning in News
LET'S RECAP, SHALL WE? Alec is finally free from his two-year stint in grad school, and it's time to get back into the swing of things. So much has happened the past four weeks that it's enough to make our heads spin, but we will dive into it all nonetheless. So, tune in as Alec and Brian ring in the summer by going all in on the biggest bits from the past month, including the DEVIL MAY CRY series, the PUNISHER special, THE BOYS finale, THE BATMAN PART II's cast, trailers for LANTERNS and X-MEN '97 Season 2, new info and footage of MY ADVENTURES WITH SUPERMAN Season 3, new info on BRAND NEW DAY, and the latest State of Play featuring new looks at GOD OF WAR: LAUFEY and Marvel's WOLVERINE!
EP 142 - Resist. Rebel. Rebuild.
"BOO!" After the lukewarm to positive reception of its messier first season, the Man Without Fear's newest season left many hoping for something tighter, more focused, and closer in quality to its Netflix predecessor. What resulted was what many consider to be a massive step up that brings this new era to a head, while still struggling with some growing pains. So, what do we think? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian dive into the action, insanity, and spoilers of DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Season 2!
EP 141 - Devil's News Cake
WE HAVE OUR JOY BACK. Been a bit! In the time we've been gone, a whole lot's happened. Some good, some bad, some giving us the joy we've awaited so long. Let's dig in. Come tune in as Alec and Brian go over some of the news and trailers from the past several weeks, including CLAYFACE, SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY, MY ADVENTURES WITH SUPERMAN Season 3, and Zach Cregger's RESIDENT EVIL!
EP 140 - Brand New News
"IT AMOUNTS TO A KIND OF... REBIRTH." It's been four weeks since we last covered any kind of news, and boy oh boy has everything happened since then. From leaks, to awful business decisions, to monumental trailers, it's been a doozy. So, what do the boys have to say about it? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian talk all the news from the past few weeks, including new looks at AVATAR: AANG - THE LAST AIRBENDER, LANTERNS, DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN, DUNE: PART THREE, and the long-awaited trailer for SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY!
EP 139 - Grace and Leon's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
"I'M GONNA SIT RIGHT HERE WITH YOU..." After the emotional and shocking ending of Resident Evil Village, many wondered where the franchise would go next, even more so who it would revolve around. What many did not expect was a pivot back to Raccoon City and the T-Virus through the eyes of newcomer Grace Ashcroft and veteran Leon Kennedy. This entry -- celebrating the series' 30th anniversary -- has already been hailed as a GOTY contender, but what do the boys think? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian dive into the horror, action, drama, and hilarity of RESIDENT EVIL REQUIEM!
EP 138 - Yeah Whatever Man (ft. @gwenstacying & @HeyGuysItSpidey)
IT STARTS WITH "SORRY." Last November, the four of us gathered around to watch both seasons of one of the most popular adult animated shows currently running. We did not like it. We meant to talk about how we did not like it for the past three months. Also, Evangelion is back. Nothing works out the way you want it to, huh? Oh, well. Tune in as Alec, Brian, Darby, and Trey talk Yoko Taro's new NEON GENESIS EVANGELION series as well as their brutally honest thoughts on HAZBIN HOTEL!
EP 137 - Your Sons Have Returned
DID YOU MISS US? The boys are back from their longest hiatus yet, and are now tasked with covering two months' worth of news in a reasonable amount of time. God help them. Anywho, tune in as Alec and Brian dive into the biggest pop culture rumblings, including Brainiac's casting, the trailers for DOOMSDAY and SPIDER-NOIR, Sony's latest State of Play, and everything in between!
EP 136 - Don't Look, Kevin
NOTHING TO SEE HERE. THIS IS ALL MADE UP. Another two weeks apart, another news episode! As we wrap up the year and look to the next one, a lot has dropped in our laps. From movie trailers, to game trailers, to scary-ass corporate mergers, to scary-ass leaks akin to sticks of dynamite, we got a lot to cover. So, tune in as Alec and Brian look back on the biggest December news, including SUPERGIRL, The Game Awards, John Cena's retirement, and definitely-not-trailer-leaks for AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY and SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY!
EP 135 - That Bird That I Hate
HONOR DIED ON THE GINGKO TREE. After over five years of waiting -- and the most obvious headache-inducing reactionary grifting -- Sucker Punch's sequel to Ghost of Tsushima has finally released. Atsu's tale of revenge has garnered mass amounts of praise for its characters, gameplay, and open world, but what do we think of it? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian discuss recent news from the past two weeks as well as their thoughts on PlayStation's new blockbuster -- GHOST OF YŌTEI!
EP 134 - Looks Like News is Back On the Menu, Boys
WHERE ARE WE? Oh hey, guys. A month goes by fast doesn't it? You know what doesn't go by fast? All the news we have to sift through. Oh boy oh boy. Tune in as Alec and Brian return from hiatus with yet another news episode covering all the big things from the past month, including THE HUNT FOR BEN SOLO, the return of DOCTOR WHO, Brainiac in MAN OF TOMORROW, and more!
EP 133 - I Feel Liberated
OVERMEDICATED!We struggled for theming on this one beyond yet another news episode. We've been gone. Things happened. Tale as old as time. Tune in as Alec and Brian sift through the biggest entertainment news from the past few weeks, including the future of the DCU, new Avatar: Seven Havens rumors, the fall of TRON, and a lot of new stuff from NYCC -- including DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Season 2!
EP 132 - Congratulations (ft. @gwenstacying)
"WHAT IS YOUR HEART FOR?" Thirty years ago today, a new anime premiered on television in Japan. One that seemed standard fare for the time, giant robots fighting giant monsters, etc. What no one really knew was that it would end up becoming one of the cornerstones of all of modern pop culture as we know it, one that's still analyzed to this day in its storytelling, themes, and artistry. Many people have taken their cracks at discussing it, and now it's our turn. So, tune in as Alec, Brian, and special guest Darby (@gwenstacying) celebrate the thirty year anniversary of NEON GENESIS EVANGELION by looking back on the series, The End of Evangelion, all the manga spinoffs, and even the rebuilds, and discussing what they all mean to them!
EP 131 - Daddy's Home
WE'RE BACK, BABY! What was supposed to be a short hiatus stretched out over the course of a month. A lot's happened, including things we've waited four years for, so let's get to it. Tune in as Alec and Brian return to Boulder Punch and discuss recent news, such as MAN OF TOMORROW, KNIGHTS OF GUINEVERE, Krondon as Tombstone in SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY, and the four-years-in-the-making first gameplay trailer for Insomniac Games' WOLVERINE!
EP 130 - The Past and Present Spider-Man
2008 ISN'T COMING BACK. A big growing sentiment in recent years has been the overall idea that Spider-Man as an IP is wrong nowadays and that whatever's going on currently is an invalid fad that doesn't matter and will fade away. We have thoughts on that. Tune in as Brian and Alec discuss recent news and the current state of the Web-Head -- and why he has changed drastically and permanently.
EP 129 - Welcome to the Endgame, Kevin
OR MAYBE NOT WE'LL PROBABLY DO MORE.It's been a year since our Phase 5 pitches. It's time to bring it all home... until we end up doing Phase 7 next year. Come join Brian and Alec as they return to Boulder Pitch with the third chapters of their takes on Post-Endgame MCU, PHASE 6!
EP 128 - What's the News?
Y'ALL KNOW THE DRILL. A tale as old as time. Alec and Brian cover a main topic that's gonna take a while. Alec decides to add a news section anyway. They record for nearly six hours. Splitsies time. Tune in as Alec and Brian take a look at news from past two weeks, including updates on Zach Cregger's RESIDENT EVIL, MY ADVENTURES WITH GREEN LANTERN, LEGO BATMAN, SUPERMAN 2, and SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY!
EP 127 - That's Crazy, I Didn't Know He Was Real
HE'S BACK. It's been a couple weeks, and everything (of course) decided to happen in that stretch of time. The main thing, however, is a film we've been waiting for something concrete on for a very long time. Lock in, guys. Tune in as Alec and Brian go over as much news as they can from the past few weeks, including Ultimate Spider-Man ending, Peacemaker S2's trailer, All-New Venom's long overdue development, and our first official and set photo looks at Spider-Man: Brand New Day!
EP 126 - As a Family
FOURTH TIME'S THE CHARM!We've all been waiting for a good Fantastic Four film since we've been born. After many years, Marvel seemed to finally lock it in. So, what do we think of it? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian go over recent news and dive into the world, heart, and spoilers of Marvel Studios' THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS!
EP 125 - The Aftermath
NOW WHAT? It's been a week since Superman premiered and introduced the world to the DCU, and despite some reservations, the film has been a moderate success. In the days since, a lot of stuff is lining up for the future of this new universe, if there even will be one. So, tune in as Alec and Brian go over recent news from the past few weeks, including new Ghost of Yōtei gameplay, new trailers for cursed movies, and all the beans Jimmy Gunn has spilled on what's next for the DCU!
EP 124 - #DidTheGunnJam?
"MAYBE THAT'S THE REAL PUNK ROCK."Well, guys, the promised day is here. After twelve years, numerous false starts, and the studio nearly washing its hands clean of the character altogether, we finally have a new movie about the man of tomorrow. James Gunn's first (let's be honest, genuine) foray into the new DCU has had a whole lot riding on it these past two and a half years since its announcement, and it's seemingly paid off thus far. However, as two fans of the big blue boy scout, what do we think about it? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian go all-in on characters, spoilers, and more as they discuss the movie Warner Bros. has bet everything on -- DC Studios' and James Gunn's SUPERMAN!
EP 123 - I Love You, Wife
"YOU MADE ME HAPPY..." Silent Hill 2 is one of the crowning achievements of survival horror and video game storytelling, alongside being one of Brian's favorite games of all time. When it was first leaked and announced that a remake would be developed by Bloober Team, he, Alec, and many others feared the worst for the next two years. What nobody could've predicted was the game turning out as well as it did, reinvigorating interest in the franchise. So, all these years later, how does the tragedy of James and Mary Sunderland still hold up? Tune in to find out as Brian and Alec dive into recent news and their experiences playing what many call the best horror game of all time -- SILENT HILL 2!
EP 122 - M'ask You Somethin
THEY DID IT! THEY CHOSE A CHARACTER WHO STARTED IN SPIDER-MAN! Yet another news episode coming at y'all! A lot's happened in the past two weeks, so tune in as Alec and Brian discuss as much of it as they can -- including new DCU news from James Gunn, Clayface's casting, Spider-Man: The Animated Series getting an official comic conclusion, the final Fantastic Four trailer, and the Punisher's return in Spider-Man: Brand New Day!
EP 121 - Requiem for a Nightmare
REQUIEM FOR THE DEAD. SUPERMAN FOR THE LIVING. A lot has happened in the past week. Some good. Some bad. Some utterly nothing. Y'all know the drill. Tune in as Alec and birthday boy Brian take a look at recent news and trailers, including SummerGameFest, the Xbox Showcase, Resident Evil Requiem, and Superman!
EP 120 - Why Is He Like This?
CHRISTOPHER ECCLESTON WAS RIGHT. The second season of Doctor Who has reached its end. So has, shockingly, the era of Ncuti Gatwa. People were stunned to see the Fifteenth Doctor regenerate after so little time compared to others, and even more so when he regenerated into Billie Piper. The show's future is hanging by a thread, its showrunner has made baffling decisions in the name of content, and we're not confident in things getting better. So, tune in as Alec and Brian discuss recent news -- including new trailers (Wake Up Dead Man, Frankenstein, Fantastic Four, and Alien: Earth), new rumors (Resident Evil 9), Sony's State of Play, and the breakup of Elon and Trump -- as well as the implosion of the current era of Doctor Who!
EP 119 - It's Dire
BRIAN WON. It's been two weeks. Things have happened. Bad things. Some of which will remain til next week. Oh, god. Tune in as Alec and Brian go over news and developments from the past two weeks, including the implosion of Bungie and Marathon, the Lilo & Stitch remake, the cancelled Black Panther game, and the bizarre cowardice of The Last of Us Season 2!
EP 118 - Eyes Up Here
TRAILERS, TRAILERS, & MORE TRAILERS! We figured a news episode would be a nice buffer after the past few episodes. Unfortunately, everything under the sun decided to happen in the past week. Break out the popcorn, we're gonna be here for a bit again. Tune in as Alec and Brian go over recent news (including the return of Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones), and all the trailers from the past week -- including PEACEMAKER Season 2, SPIDER-NOIR, IRONHEART, and SUPERMAN!
EP 117 - *The New Boulders (ft. @gwenstacying & @HeyGuysItSpidey)
"WE OWN YOU NOW." Back in 2022, it was announced that Phase 5 of the MCU would wrap up with an adaptation of Thunderbolts, seeming to be Marvel's answer to Suicide Squad. Very quickly, the team lineup left a lot to be desired, and as production kicked off, not many had faith in it reigniting the MCU. Several months of trailers and an entire movie later, it's safe to say a lot of us ate our words. The most unlikely group of anti-heroes have assembled to pull Marvel from the brink on the big screen, telling a beautifully painful story about loneliness and mental health, and we're here to delve into it all. So, tune in as Alec, Brian, and special guests Darby (@gwenstacying) and Trey (@HeyGuysItSpidey) dive into recent news and the biggest surprise hit Marvel's had in ages -- THUNDERBOLTS* (aka THE NEW AVENGERS)!
EP 116 - The Gay Witching Hour (ft. @gwenstacying)
"THE ONLY THING I'VE EVER REALLY WANTED... WAS TO BE UNDERSTOOD." After working on Gravity Falls, writer and artist Dana Terrace looked to produce her own off-the-wall animated series about the supernatural. After many revisions, the show would finally premiere in 2020 -- quite literally changing the game for animated kids' shows and queer/neurodivergent rep (much to the chagrin of Disney). While it didn't get to end the way it wanted to, thanks to certain suits who didn't believe the data that it was successful, it still managed to end with a bang. Two out of three people today watched it along the way. One of them just finished it three weeks ago. Time to yap. Tune in as Alec, Brian, and special guest Darby (@gwenstacying) talk about one of their favorite animated shows of all time -- THE OWL HOUSE!
EP 115 - Trust (ft. @gwenstacying)
WE DID IT AGAIN. Once again, we are doing an episode with one of our friends. And once again, we have to split the news section into its own episode. Tale as old as time, etc. Tune in as Alec, Brian, and special guest Darby (@gwenstacying) go over recent news from the past week, from Star Wars Celebration, to WrestleMania, to trailers for Doom: The Dark Ages, Ghost of Yōtei, and Predator: Badlands!
EP 114 - Born Again
"WE ARE THE CITY WITHOUT FEAR." In 2021, three years after the final season and cancellation of Daredevil, Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio returned as Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk. In 2022, four years after said season and cancellation, a new revival series was announced. In 2023, five years after, the crash and burn of the original production ensued, causing a complete creative overhaul not just for the series itself, but the whole of Marvel Television. And now, nearly seven years on from A New Napkin and over three years on from Hawkeye and No Way Home, a new season of the Man Without Fear is here. So, did it come out of the cutting room unscathed? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian discuss recent news (such as the new Fantastic Four trailer) and dive into a massive spoiler-filled discussion of DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN - Season One!
EP 113 - Let the Devil Out
"YOU DON'T GET TO DESTROY WHO I AM." After the Devil of Hell's Kitchen's second season released, the Netflix corner of the MCU was on a bit of a downturn. While there were fan-favorite highlights such as Luke Cage Season Two and The Punisher Season One, others such as the former's first season, Jessica Jones Season Two, all of Iron Fist, and -- arguably most disappointing of all -- The Defenders, it seemed like this side of the MCU was doomed to fizzle entirely. When the Man Without Fear's third season was set to come out, many worried it would suffer that same fate. Probably why it was all the more surprising that it not only turned out to be the best season of the show, but arguably the best season of live action comic book television overall. So, how does it hold up? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian take a look at the third and (technically not, thank god) final season of Marvel's DAREDEVIL!
EP 112 - Dealt a Bad Hand
"YOU KNOW YOU'RE ONLY ONE BAD DAY AWAY FROM BEING ME..." After the monumental success of Season One changed the game for comic book and streaming television, the Man Without Fear was immediately fast-tracked for a second. This one aimed to be even bigger and better, with the Punisher, Elektra, and the Hand being brought in as the major storylines, with the latter further setting up the eventual Defenders crossover. What resulted was that same fantastic show we knew and loved battling against an unbalanced story, bizarre pacing, and most baffling of all -- an executive producer's bigoted knee-capping of the very story he pushed to set up. So, tune in as Alec and Brian look back on the good, the bad, and the Loebly of Marvel's DAREDEVIL: Season Two!
EP 111 - Into the Ring
"THIS IS MY CITY. MY FAMILY." Back in 2013, streaming-exclusive shows were slowly beginning to take off, and Marvel wanted in on the potential boom. A deal was struck, and Netflix was contracted to make shows about a few select street level characters that would later have their own low-scale crossover event. First up was the man without fear, Daredevil. After his failed cinematic outing in 2003, not many people knew what to expect from this show. What we got on April 10th, 2015 was the beginning of what could very well be considered the greatest live action comic adaptation of all time. So, how does it hold up? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian discuss recent news and begin their retrospective of the Devil of Hell's Kitchen with DAREDEVIL: SEASON ONE!
EP 110 - Give Up
"F#$% THEM KIDS." - JOHN CENA, 2025. It's been about a month since we last recorded an episode of the main show, and a whole lot of things have happened since then. Some utterly predictable, some we never saw coming, and some that prove that Hell can indeed freeze over. So, tune in as Alec and Brian talk about as much pop culture news as they can in under five hours, including the announcements of Starfire! and My Adventures with Green Lantern, the Punisher special presentation, the new Doctor Who and Devil May Cry trailers, John Cena's infamous heel turn, and our thoughts on the first four episodes of Daredevil: Born Again!
EP 109 - If This Be My Destiny (ft. @gwenstacying & @HeyGuysItSpidey)
HERE WE GO AGAIN! Just over three years ago, Marvel announced an all-new show about Spider-Man adjacent to the MCU. After creative shifts, numerous layoffs, a slashed animation division, a CEO ousting, a restarted production, a title change, and one empty-headed f#@$ing dumbf#@$ nearly derailing it all a day before its premiere, the first season is finally out in its entirety. So, what do we think? Tune in to find out as Alec, Brian, Darby (@gwenstacying), and Trey (@HeyGuysItSpidey) go all-in on Season 1 of YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD SPIDER-MAN, as well as what's in store for Season 2!
EP 108 - (Mostly) Fantastic News (ft. @gwenstacying & @HeyGuysItSpidey)
WARNING: EXCESSIVE YAPPING! We had planned on doing one episode covering both recent news and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, but alas, double the hosts double the fun. So, tune in as Alec, Brian, Darby (@gwenstacying), and Trey (@HeyGuysItSpidey) discuss recent news such as trailers for THE FANTASTIC FOUR and THUNDERBOLTS*, as well as announcements such as the new Gwenpool and AVATAR: SEVEN HAVENS!
