Episode 259: It's A Brand New Day (Yes It Is)!

Aug 14, 2026

1 hr 16 min

Well kids, it’s safe to say that Marvel has righted their ship for the moment and seem to be steaming in a rather healthy and profitable direction. It’s made more than $1.67 billion dollars globally after two weeks and is now the fourth biggest movie in the MCU behind Endgame, Infinity War, and Spider-Man: No Way Home. Which is all well and good if you own Disney stock, but for hoi polloi like us, it’s all about whether the flick was any good and did we manage to get any of our predictions correct? Well, let’s find out together in this, episode 259, It’s A Brand New Day (Yes It Is)!

The dust has settled on the first ever two-night SummerSlam, and it seems that… by some miracle… reviews have been mostly positive for WWE’s first daliance into trying to duplicate the gate of WrestleMania. Aside from a moonsault that went awry and a whole bunch of tarped seats in the upper levels, things seem to be pretty good. So before we can collectively regain our senses, let’s dive in and see how our predictions worked out and how we felt about the event in this, episode 258, Going Out On Their Shield – SummerSlam Review!

2 hr 14 min

Well folks, here we are at the final week of Ted Lasso… until the beginning of August, when we get season four! But in the meantime, we’re digging into the final season of what will probably wind up being referred to as the original trilogy or something equally lame. At any rate, as Trent Crimm would say, this is the culmination of all the moments and lessons learned from Ted’s time at AFC Richmond. Will the Greyhounds win the whole effing thing? Will everyone find true happiness? Will Roy embrace his emotions? Will we just be openly weeping by the end of this episode? Find out in this, episode 256, The Road To Redemption!

Episode 255: The Roy Kent Effect!

Jul 17, 2026

2 hr 17 min

In an odd sort of way, the first season of Ted Lasso is more Empire Strikes Back. Most everyone agrees that it’s a solid banger all the way through and in spite of ending on a downer, there’s still the hope of what’s to come. So as we head into season two this week, I suppose this is either A New Hope or perhaps Revenge of the Sith, depending on where you stand with regards to the prominence of Nate the Great to the overall plot. Either way, we’re set to examine the second season of Ted Lasso in this, episode 255, The Roy Kent Effect!
