In this idiocy-packed episode, we take a look at the sci-fi extravaganza known as Another Life, which is currently streaming on Netflix and stars everyone's favorite Viper jock, Katee Sackhoff. We go all the things we liked, what we didn't like, and what we really didn't like in order to give you ... da people ... our solid gold recommendation for the show.
All of that plus a Week In Geek covering how much Black Widow pirating cost Mickey MoMo & Co, the latest WWE firings, the Battlestar Galactica reboot news you've been waiting for, wrapping up the fantasy football season in true idiotic fashion, and the boys go head-to-head in some Star Wars trivia.

For our last episode of 2021, we take on all the fan theories surrounding The Book Of Boba Fett that have been swirling around the interwebs, break 'em down, and let you know which ones are The Real and which ones are The Jabroni. This time around, we've dragged our children into the mix to get their opinions as well in our first ever Free Range Idiocy Junior Division. Why? Because we are absolutely shameless, that's why!
All of that plus the YUGE numbers from Spider-Man: No Way Home opening weekend, the Battlestar Galactica reboot, the new raptor from the upcoming Jurassic World movie, and the anniversary of a beloved Star Wars movie.

This time around, Uncle Todd and The Man They Call Tim dive into all the fan theories swirling around the newest jewel in the MCU crown, Spider-Man: No Way Home. What's going to happen and what isn't? Who's gonna show up and who isn't? And most importantly... which of these idiots is going to have an edge to have bragging rights and a bottle of bourbon down the line? You can play the home game by listening before you hit the theater and keep track.
All this and our thoughts on fantasy football, the new trailer for Spider-Man: Across The Spiderverse, and the newest trailer for The Matrix Resurrections too!

If you've listened to any of our episodes before now, you probably saw this one coming... but we dove into Ghostbusters Afterlife feet-first and have lots to say about Jason Reitman's tribute to Harold Ramis, his father Ivan Reitman, a beloved movie from our childhood, and much more. Did we like it? Love it? Or are we jaunting off to Reno to elope with it? Find out!
All that with some talk about fantasy football (sorry), thoughts on Hawkeye, and a nice little wrestling rant from The Man They Call Tim.
LINKS OF INTEREST:
- Accompanying reference material for The Man They Call Tim's WWE rant
- Uncle Todd said it was Cultaholic where he saw the wrestling video, but then later said it might've been What Culture, but then thought is was Cultaholic... but is now realizing it was indeed What Culture. We just wish he'd make up his bloody mind...
- Surprise, surprise... but Uncle Todd was also wrong about that Baskin Robbins flavor from Ghostbusters Afterlife being the same one as from Ant-Man.
...AND ANOTHER THING:
The Man They Call Tim recommends listening to the new podcast from Guy Raz called Wisdom From The Top on NPR
Uncle Todd thinks watching the new Beatles documentary on Disney+ is a damn fine idea

Once again, the idiots have issued their album 1-on-1 challenge - to listen through an album of the other's choosing and report back with their findings. Will it be another lovefest or will reality intrude? It's anyone's guess with a couple of lesser-known albums from big-name bands - Aerosmith's Nine Lives and No. 4 from Stone Temple Pilots.
All that with some talk about the latest Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer, casting news from Ahsoka, and what's in the oven for Thanksgiving.
LINKS OF INTEREST:

- Here's the background on Stone Temple Pilot's 1999 album, No. 4
- Looks like Worf (or the chief security officer) would be fourth in command of the Enterprise on Star Trek: The Next Generation, thus making them "Number Four"
- No Uncle Todd, "Sour Girl" was not THE biggest single by STP - it was ONE of their biggest hits. It's right there in the above Wikipedia article
- Here's the video for "Sour Girl" starring Buffy... er... Sarah Michelle Gellar and Scott Weiland gyrating around without a shirt. As you did back in the late 90's.
- Here's the video for "Crazy" starring Alicia Silverstone and Liv Tyler, which manages to be creepier than STP's Teletubby-ish bunny rabbits because you have the daughter of the lead singer performing a striptease. Yikes.

The Man They Call Tim recommends watching Belfast from direction Kenneth Branagh in a theater near you
Uncle Todd thinks if you're thinking about hitting the gym, make an investment in yourself and hire a trainer

So, how right and how wrong were we in predicting what fan theories would make their way into Eternals? Thanks to The Man They Call Tim's math skills, we're now able to find out. Check out what happened and who takes home the coveted bottle and bragging rights... but mostly the bottle. Also, fantasy football smack talk, our thoughts on Disney+ Day, and good-by to Brother Cavill.
