Initially was gonna be a 2 parter but I decided that because it's been....what...3 months to just drop the extended one. And just like that, there's even more to get into next episode. Anyways we hope you enjoy our multiple discussions and derails going from the current political insanity in America to gushing over the green and pink musical.

In this episode, we’re diving into the highs and lows of pop culture and politics. First up, we’re breaking down the poorly marketed family-film Transformers One—does it live up to the hype? Then, it’s Marvel mania (as usual) as we dissect the latest reveals about Phase 5 and 6 (including What If season 3, Eyes of Wakanda, Marvel Zombies and more).
Next, we’re all-in on The Penguin, the new Max series that’s turning heads and ruffling feathers in the best way possible. Finally, we tackle the elephant in the room: Donald Trump’s re-election. Join us for a raw and passionate conversation about what went wrong, the Democratic Party’s missteps, and what it all could mean for the future of America.

Would you believe after all the years of working on this pod we've never been able to record the show together? Well this year live from BLERDCON 2023 we finally accomplished that goal. We had a lot of fun being able to sit down and shoot the breeze about the biggest blockbusters and bombs since last episode as well as dive deep into some fun themes from some lesser discussed projects we enjoyed. So relax and tune in.
