A podcast about EVERYTHING... but mostly the stuff we like. Two friends talking about everything and anything that they’re interested in a that particular moment. From science fiction to sports, movies to music, books to Battlestar Galactica... we try to cover it all in our own, special, idiotic way.

The newest addition to the MCU arrived today in all of its mind-bending weirdness, and we're here to break down all the fan theories surround Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness for you before heading to the theater. Will there be mutants? Will there be celestials? Will Wong take America Chavez out for a cheeseburger and a heart to heart chat? Who knows, but we're putting our best guesses on the record for you!
Also... We go over our thoughts from the second-to-last episode of Moon Knight (we recorded before Wednesday so thoughts on the season finale to come next week), our impressions from the Thor: Love & Thunder trailer, news about the director for the upcoming Fantastic Four movie, and... unfortunately (from Uncle Todd's perspective anyways), a return to the Red Five Star Wars trivia segment.

Can you believe we've managed to keep this schtick going for 100 episodes without getting banished from the interwebs, arrested, or kicked out of our homes? Neither can we!
So we celebrated with a special episode where we talked about whatever the hell we wanted to, which means... you get another episode of Battlestar Galactica chatter. That's right, five episodes wasn't enough to contain our love for this show, so we're talking about the miniseries pilot and the series finale since those were left out of our brackets. Pour an ambrosia and light up a cigar, we're ready to... jump!
...AND ANOTHER THING:
The Man They Call Tim recommends seeing CODA, which was out in theaters back when we recorded this.
Uncle Todd thinks you oughta give Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. another watch on Disney+

Since we've been a little Star Wars heavy recently, we figured it was time to give equal time for equal geekery, so we're boldly going where we've never gone before AND getting an early jump on March Madness by tossing all the Star Trek movies into a bracket and seeing who comes out on top! And what better person to lend some expertise (as well as legitimacy) to our discussion than one of the hosts of Scruffy Looking Podcasters, Jimmy Dice!
The Man They Call Tim also updates us on how our Junior Division turned out from last week's The Real or The Jabroni debacle, the results of our Super Bowl picks, some further discussion on The Book Of Boba Fett finale with our guest Star Wars expert, and more Red Five trivia!

Before The Book Of Boba Fett premiered at the end of 2021, we scoured the interwebs for different fan theories about what would happen and ran them all down for you - the people - deciding which would be The Real (correct) and which would wind up as The Jabroni (not happening). As a special treat, we created a junior division with our kids to see how they'd fare as well. How did it all shake out? Find out in this episode!
What? You thought we'd give that away in the intro? We're not quite that idiotic...

Well, it's the day we frankly didn't think would ever come - Tom Brady is calling it a career. So what are a couple of lapsed Patriots fans to do except to celebrate the man, break down his jaw-dropping stats, and look back at his career with our final installment of what we've come to call Bradygeddon.
Want a little extra? Well, The Man They Call Tim has you covered with some talk about Chapter 6 of The Book Of Boba Fett, more Star Wars trivia much to Uncle Todd's chagrin, and a little sumthin-sumthin from a certain member of the Battlestar Galactica cast.
