Episode 80: Eternals Real Or Jabroni

Like the changing of seasons, each new Marvel movie can be counted on to bring a fresh crop of fan theories and otherwise ludicrous ideas about what will happen. So, we decided to dive into what folks were saying about Eternals the week before its premier and see if we couldn't get a few of these things right. We also talk about a possible Dune sequel and a certain underworld from a certain galaxy far, far away.

Episode 78:Free Range Idiocy Trailer Park - Dune, The Eternals, Hawkeye, & The Matrix!

After a slow start, the movie biz is cranking up nicely towards the end of 2021 with a whole bunch of new releases coming down the pike - with most of them actually hitting theaters! So we figured it was our honor-bound duty to pause from our normal idiocy and take some time to appreciate a few of the flicks coming up based on their trailers. Dig it!

Todd thinks you should watch all of Parks and Recreation if you haven't already, and watch it again if you have.

Episode 77: Bradygeddon Part 4 - The Return of the GOAT

We thought our time talking about Tom Brady and the New England Patriots was at an end... but how wrong we were. When the Bucs made a stop in Foxborough, it was time for us to dust off this subject one more time and reflect on the game itself, Mac Jones, and the legacies of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick for the last time. Or is it....?

Programming note - This was recorded the evening after that game, but our editing has been slowed the last couple of weeks. We're hoping to get back on track this week barring any setbacks from Patrick burning down the office or squirting Cheez Whiz into a USB port.

LINKS OF INTEREST:

- Here's the No Time To Die trailer in case you haven't seen it already. And since we're horribly late getting to this, Uncle Todd's already been out to see the flick and gives it a hearty thumbs up (for what that's worth)

- A little more information on how the ScarJo - MickeyMoMo dust-up has been settled, giving us peace in our time... for now

Episode 76: Everybody Shang Chi Tonight!

We finally get around to talking about the newest Marvel movie - the 25th in the ever-expanding MCU - Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings! We'll talk about everything we liked and what didn't and whether we'd recommend it to others like the good little Marvel shills that we are. Also, we talk about that photo with Kevin Feige that Hugh Jackman posted awhile back on social media, some happenings in AEW, some random ideas we have for Disney+ shows, and fantasy football.

Episode 75: Clearly Canadian Album 1-on-1 - Rush Versus Barenaked Ladies

As you might've noticed by some of our previous episodes, we dig on some music from time to time. So, we decided to take this to the next level by assigning each other a favorite album and then reporting back here so all of the interwebs could hear the results. Through pure coincidence, we both chose some of Canada's favorite sons with Todd being given Moving Pictures by Rush to listen to and Tim getting Gordon by Barenaked Ladies. How will it turn out? Give it a listen!

Oh, and we had some thoughts on Marvel's What If...? at about the halfway mark of its first season and the return of football as well.

LINKS OF INTEREST:

- It was Annette Benning who played Mar-Vel / The Supreme Intelligence in Captain Marvel

- Here's the music video for "Tom Sawyer" by Rush in all it's early 1980's glory

- Check out the crazy of Rush playing "YYZ" in Rio back in the day

- As noted during the edit, Barenaked Ladies were banned from playing a park in Toronto, not Halifax. However, since they wrote "Hello City" about their disastrous few shows in Halifax, Uncle Todd is claiming half credit

- And here's Barenaked Ladies reunited with Steven Page and Andy Creegan at the 2018 Juno Awards after they were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame

...AND ANOTHER THING:

Episode 74: Spidey Mucks The Multiverse! - Spider-Man: No Way Home Trailer Reaction & Theories

Just when we think the world is a futile pile of rocks hurtling to disaster, Marvel gives us a little bit of hope that maybe it's worth living a little bit longer. Or, maybe we're just shallow people in need of medication. Either way, we got the new Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer and just had to talk about it!

Episode 73: Stream Versus Screen - The Idiot‘s Court & Scar-Jo Takes On Disney

One would think that having an veritable money-making machine would keep a person or company from being a d-bag, but apparently not! Disney managed to get one of their stars ticked off enough to file a lawsuit and then doubled down on their douchebaggery with some harsh comments.

Episode 72: Who Ya Gonna Call? - Ghostbusters Afterlife Trailer Reaction

Call it fate, call it luck, call it karma... but we believe that everything happens for a reason. So when the new trailer for Ghostbusters Afterlife dropped in our laps a little over a week ago, we knew it'd end up being a topic of conversation. So here you go - a couple of 80's kids all growed up and discussing the new flick from Jason Reitman coming our way in November. We think.
