It's THE DEVVIES!! This week, we look back on 2023 as a year of coulda's, woulda's, and shoulda's in movies, music, games, movies... Who will win, but more over, who already lost??
If you're going through the first week of football withdrawals, you're exactly who Vince McMahon and Dick Ebersol were looking to please with the ill-fated XFL. Listen in to learn about this absolute car crash of athletes, executives, and blimps - yes, blimps.

This episode we catch up with a wild summer of movies, the strike, and of course Krakens.
Troy Duffy, step aside, as we go on the journey of "bob's game" and its sole developer, Robert Pelloni. Release date delays, delusional egos, and Spike needing things explained to him. Yet another classic video game episode.
As a side note, buried in this episode description, written late at night: If you want to make something, do what you can to make it with friends, because doing things - big, small, dumb, serious, games, movies, music, podcasts - together, with whoever, and being nice about it, f#king rules.
Obsessive nerds, corrupt investors, Jack Kirby, and, of course, a 300-foot building with 1000 bowling lanes in it. Science Fiction Land could've had it all, but instead it crumbled, ruining (and literally saving!) lives along the way.
Our first repeat Development Hell director appears in the form of George Miller and his ill-fated 2009 attempt at "Justice League: Mortal". Richard takes us through the leaked script, the bonkers cast, and tries to get Kyle and Spike to calm down about "car jar".
We're kicking off 2023 with a series of unfinished and unreleased projects, starting with Roger Corman's "The Fantastic Four". Never seen it? That's on purpose.
"Little Italy" is a nightmare, but watching it 8 times in a day? A dream! Joined by "Cabin Boys" Mitch Holleman, JP Noda, and Jacob Borja, we dive into not just the horrifying 2018 film, but also why we'll unfortunately never forget a frame of it. TOPICS INCLUDE: favorite pizzas, prison reform, and Minions!!
The Jeddak of Zodanga means to quash Helium this very night, and if Helium falls, so does Barsoom. In today's episode we examine one of the oldest IPs we've looked at John Carter of Mars, and think about why it had such a bland 2012 adaptation. By Issus, this episode is a ton of fun! We ride for Zodanga!
Today we dive deep into the worst Brony convention of all time, las pegasus unicon, held in Las Vegas at the Riviera Casino! This episode is a wild ride, so get ready.

Speed: Racing hasn't changed, and it never will.
Racer X : It doesn't matter if racing never changes. What matters is if we let racing change us.
Think about that quote, but instead of racing it's about a podcast being on hiatus.

Today we cover the anime film from 2009, Redline. One of Madhouse's last efforts as an original IP feature, Redline contains over 140,000 frames of hand drawn animation, with no CGI being used. With a long, yet rewarding production cycle, Redline is an incredible achievement, yet wasn;t a financial success.
Today we race into the development hell behind, Redline.
The Man Who Killed Don Quixote is a 2018 adventure-comedy film directed by Terry Gilliam -- we explore the long and winding road this film took to completion.
