As some of you long-time listeners might know, this podcast was born (some would say inflicted but those negative nellies can go suck an egg) into this world tangentially related to New England sports teams. Rather than only calling each other after championships, we decided to start this podcast as a more effective means of staying in touch. Which…

Your humble idiotic servants dig into the cinema of the year 1985! And since this was when we but wee young lil' idiots, don't be expecting some of the more cultural elements to sneak through. No no no. We're dealing with blockbusters and flicks for the masses! Also, we talk Joker 2, Creed 4, Doc Brown, fake football, and more in this episode's Wee…

After a 20 year hiatus, WWE decided it was about time to resurrect the Bad Blood pay per view, just with one less D because… you know… shrinkflation. It was a fairly stacked card featuring Hell In A Cell returning home to the event that spawned the dastardly contraption meant to settle all family business. So, would Trips and Company continue their…

As is our wont from time to time, we’re going to dive into a pair of albums and give you our thoughts, opinions, and recommendations. This time around, we’re matching up two iconic bands who defied the odds to hold together through drugs and drama before coming out the other side with comeback albums in their middle aged dad eras. It’s Glimmer Twin…

It's that time again, folks. The Man They Call Tim has taken control of the ship, which means it's time for another one of our action-packed The Week In Geek Supershows! We talk through the latest in wrestling, Star Wars, and Marvel... along with our own special blend of ballyhoo and idiocy. Join us! FULL VIDEO EPISODES! That's right folks, you can…

After Uncle Todd finally got around to watching "Ted Lasso" and loving it (just like The Man They Called Tim said he would), it's time for us to sit down and talk through all three seasons of what amounts to a terrific, nearly-perfect three seasons of television. Want to know what we loved the most and thought about the twists and turns? Listen up!…

We review the aftermath of the least-beloved Star Wars streaming show to air on Disney+, "The Acolyte". Why did this one fall flat on its face? Why did "Andor" get more love while seemingly rated about the same? And why did The Mouse give this one the heave-ho while "Andor" lives to fight another day? We get into all! Also, we talk about fantasy fo…

We hadn't planned to recap Bash In Berlin, but since WWE brought the thunder with this one (and we both had a chance to watch it over the weekend), we figured it was our duty as fans of the squared circle to recap the PLE and give the world our thoughts! Also, we talk about fantasy football, the "Skeleton Crew" trailer, and other pop culture detriu…

We made some bold (and somewhat idiotic) predictions about what was going to happen with Deadpool & Wolverine. A few weeks (and a billion dollars in worldwide gross) later, we're here to tally up the score and see which one of us got this thing right... oh, let's be honest... less wrong. Come with us on this adventure of foolishness, won't you? Als…

The 37th annual WWE SummerSlam is in the books and we're ready to tally up the results of our idiotic predictions. Who won? Who lost? How good or bad were the matches? And, most importantly, who takes home the bottle of (reasonably priced) bourbon for being closest (or least wrong) in their predictions? We'll find out! Also, we talk about Dune 3, A…

Once again, we are approaching one of the high holy days of the professional wrasslin’ calendar. And no, it’s not the anniversary of that time Andre The Giant let out a 25 second fart in an elevator and damn near gassed Mean Gene Okerland and Lord Alfred Hayes to death – it’s time for Summer Slam! What’s happening, who’s gonna win, and what will it…

The premier of "Deadpool & Wolverine" is right around the corner and there's plenty of rumors about what will happen in Marvel's single movie release for 2024. Who will show up? What will happen? Damned if we know, but it's not going to stop us from wildly speculating on all the rumors we could find (or make up)! Also, we go deep on some of the seg…

Your humble idiotic servants recap a rather interesting Money In The Bank PLE, RAW the following night, and also get into The Man They Call Tim's thoughts on his first time EVER watching "Deadpool" and "Deadpool 2" in preparation for "Deadpool & Wolverine" coming later this month. Yeah, we've got a lotta stuff going on in this episode... Also, we c…

WWE's annual Money In The Bank event is coming up this weekend and we're here to preview all the possible happenings. Who's gonna walk out with an open contract for a title shot? Will we get some new champs crowned? Who will show up unexpectedly? We run it all down for you! Also, MCU news, Doctor Strange theories, and historical discussions in this…

For folks of a certain age, Van Halen is the audio equivalent of comfort food - the soothing sounds that harken back to a simpler time in our lives. Of course, it's also a fertile battleground that's been waging the Dave versus Sammy war for a couple decades. In this episode, we dive into two classics of the VH catalog with "1984" and "For Unlawful…

Honestly folks, we didn't think we'd be talking about wrestling this much in 2024, but as it turns out, the "Paul Levesque Era" of WWE kinda has us hooked. So rather than do a quick mention of Clash At The Castle, we wound up watching the whole thing and giving you our thoughts on the whole shebang. Enjoy! Also, a couple swipes at AEW, an 80's movi…

Lots of people had LOTS of thoughts and feelings about the new Star Wars show, "The Acolyte" when the first two episodes dropped. Never ones to sit around and wait for all the info to come in and settle on a reasonable, balanced opinion, we jumped right in and spewed our judgements right away! Also, Trinity packs up the fam for New England, a new M…

We dig into one of our favorite things as we get close to the 20th anniversary of the debut of "33" - the pilot episode of Ron Moore's "Battlestar Galactica" reboot. Why is this a damn near perfect episode of television? We break it down in our own idiotic way and share it with you... the people. Also, we take a look at the new Venom trailer and a …

There's a whole lotta nerdy news floating around the interwebs, and when the stories start to pile up, it's time for The Man They Call Tim to annex the entirety of the show in order to cover everything. So enjoy this wide-ranging and nerd-packed Week In Geek! FULL VIDEO EPISODES! That's right folks, you can see our bright smiling idiotic faces in f…

For the first time in forever, we the people are only getting a single Marvel movie this calendar year. That leaves us 33 flicks currently residing in the MCU, which means we are duty bound to rank our top ten in honor Larry Legend. Don't ask, it's a New England thing... Also, we have some follow up on our last episode, an interesting BSG theory, a…

Word on the interwebs is that we'll be getting a fifth movie in The Matrix franchise, so we decided to dive into some criticism from Neo and Trinity's last movie as well as expounding upon our thoughts on why movie franchises, by and large, kinda suck. Also, we offer up some thoughts on WWE Backlash from Lyon, France last weekend, some great news f…

Who doesn't love to spend a little time discussing movies? Well, besides John McTiernan in a director's commentary? We sure do! Your humble idiotic popcorn munchers take some time to comb through all the movies released in 2002 and come up with our favorites, surprises, and hand out some awards! Also, we talk about a certain curmudgeonly actor and …

It's been a little while since we talked music, so your humble idiotic hosts dive into the world of hard rock legends AC/DC with an album one-on-one featuring one from Bon Scott and one from Brian Johnson. The Man They Call Tim will leave you Thunderstuck with his thoughts on "The Razor's Edge" and if you want blood, Uncle Todd's got it with exposi…

Wrestlemania XL is in the books and... we have thoughts. How did the first Wrestlemania of the Paul Levesque Era turn out? How'd we feel about the end of Cody's story? Will The Man They Call Tim coat himself in steak sauce as a celebration? Find out! FULL VIDEO EPISODES! That's right folks, you can see our bright smiling idiotic faces in full color…

We officially enter the Final Four of our March Madness Star Wars character brackets. Who will be our choices for the most iconic character in a galaxy far, far away? Only one way to find out... Also, we talk about a movie marathon for May the 4th, Ahsoka's new Jedi power, and a trip to Culinary Corner in this episode's Week In Geek! FULL VIDEO EPI…

We knew things would change up when we recorded our Wrestlemania 40 preview with a full two weeks of WWE television left to go, and boy howdy have things changed up a bit and escalated! Your humble idiotic servants go through the changes, new matches, and the additional heat for the main events in this mini (for us at least) episode! FULL VIDEO EPI…

Wrestlemania 40 is shaping up to be an all-time great. Will Cody complete his story? Will Reigns & Rock versus Rhodes & Rollins REALLY be the biggest tag match in WWE history? And what about Rhea versus Lynch, Bayley versus Sky, and... well, you get the point. We run down the full card (as we knew it recording March 24th) and give you our picks alo…

Who is the most iconic character from the animated Star Wars universe? We're back with the fourth region of our Star Wars bracket with characters from the live action streaming shows - The Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, and Kenobi. Who makes it out of this very competitive bracket and who goes to become one with the Force? You'll have to l…

Who is the most iconic character from the animated Star Wars universe? We're back with the third region of our Star Wars character bracket, from Rebels, Clone Wars, and Bad Batch. Who makes it out of this very competitive bracket and who goes to become one with the Force? You'll have to watch... Also, we share all of our thoughts about Dune Part Tw…

We're back with the second region of our Star Wars character bracket, this time focusing on space folks from Episodes 7-9 as well as Rogue One and Solo. Who's going to make it outta this?! Never tell us the odds... Also, we talk about the second season of Ahsoka, Bad Batch season 3, and cloning Palpatine in this episode's The Week In Geek! FULL VID…

We're diving into March Madness by setting up our own bracket of Star Wars characters from all the movies as well as live action and animated streaming shows to find who our picks for the most iconic of them all! Also, we debrief Uncle Todd's vacay to Disney World, talk about the budget for The Mandalorian & Grogu, and the Fantastic Four cast in th…

For the first time in decades, Bill Belichick will not (barring some strange set of events) be prowling the sidelines of NFL games next season. We dive into his 24 years in New England and discuss his legacy as well as his future. Inevitably, we couldn't talk football without getting into Super Bowl LVIII as well. Also, we get into the fallout from…

Last week, we lost one of the titans of Hollywood. He was the perfect foil for the ultimate underdog, an action star, delivered dramatic gravitas, and had comedic timing to boot. He was an acting five tool player - with a million dollar smile. In this episode, we go back over some highlights from his career and pay tribute in our own idiotic way. A…

We are officially within the High Holy Days of the WWE calendar as the Royal Rumble marks the on-ramp to Wrestlemania. Who's gonna win? Who's gonna get got? Will any legends come waddling down the aisle for one last pop? We break it all down and give your thoughts! Also, The Man They Call Tim rehashes a couple points from our previous episode, we h…

It's been damn near five years since news first broke that Sam Esmail would be rebooting Battlestar Galactica as the centerpiece of the new Peacock streaming service. All these years later, and the only thing Sammy has managed to do is go through two showrunners and say they have a vague outline. We find this unacceptable. So we're stepping in to g…

With all the hubbub surrounding the return of CM Punk to WWE, we decided to use it as a good excuse to watch one of The Man They Call Tim's favorite all-time wrestling matches - CM Punk versus John Cena from Money in the Bank 2011. Don't worry, we know the connection is tenuous... sort of like our grip on reality. Also, we get yet another update on…

Your humble idiotic servants catch up on the latest WWE PLV to see what all the hubbub was about. And boy howdy, was there ever some stuff a-happening! We run it all down for you in our official review! Also, we get yet another update on The Man They Call Tim's fake football team, how our respective Thanksgivings went, Dave Filoni news, and Netflix…

There was a whole lotta hoopla and waiting for Loki season 2. Did it live up to the hype? Did the god of mischief manage to save all of time and space? Did Sylvie keep the 1980's mullet for the entire season? And most importantly... which idiot prevailed in our preseason predictions?! Also, we get yet another update on The Man They Call Tim's fake …

The world of professional rasslin' has been one helluva ride over the last year, especially if you've been following the behind-the-curtain stuff over at WWE. Now that the ink has dried on the merger of WWE with UFC to form TKO (because ya can't have too many three letter abbreviations can ya?), it appears that the rollercoaster of "Who's In Charge…

We tally up the results from our Ahsoka edition of The Real & The Jabroni to find out who was wrong and who was right... or, in this case, who was wrong and who was wrongest. Either way, there's a bottle of moderately priced bourbon on the line, so it's time to get out the abacus and see who made it over the finish line first! Also, we get an updat…

We don't usually center an entire episode around one slice of a streaming series, but when you've read six books waiting for a character's live action debut, it's easy to get a little excited. We look at the sixth episode of Ahsoka and breakdown the first appearance of Grand Admiral Thrawn along with that other guy who hitched a ride with the space…

Loki season two will be here before you know it, so your humble idiotic servants have delved into all the rumors and theories swirling about the interwebs in order to give you - da people - our official, lead-pipe-cinch verdict on what will definitely be happening (The Real) and what won't (The Jabroni). Also, we drop some hot takes on Ahsoka episo…

One of the rarest tricks to pull in professional wrestling is the double turn - somehow making the good guy into the bad guy and the bad guy into the good guy. That's tough enough, but doing it in a single match? The most successful execution of this that we can think about is "Stone Cold" Steve Austin versus Bret "The Hitman" Hart from Wrestlemani…

It's been just about a year since we took a deep dive into a single year in movie history to give you our expert opinion on the best of what was. This time around, we take a look at 2004 and all the flicks that became part of our lives - our favorites, also rans, surprises, and awards! Also, we talk about the first couple episodes of Ahsoka and say…

It's been ages (it seems) since we've had any new Star Wars releases to talk about, but here we are now with something we've been waiting for since Dave Filoni decided to tip it outta his cowboy hat. Ahsoka is here! What's going to happen? Well, we dive into all the rumors and theories swirling about the interwebs and let you know what we think wil…

In case you hadn't noticed, one of the high holy days of the wrasslin' calendar happened last weekend with WWE rolling out SummerSlam from Detroit. We didn't get a chance to watch the whole thing, but far be it for a lack of prep to keep us from having an opinion! We talk about the two matches that were intriguing to us - Lesnar/Rhodes and Reigns/U…

Uncle Todd finally... finally... got The Man They Call Tim to catch up on a Disney+ show that didn't involve space magic so it could be talked about on the podcast. Unfortunately, he also recommended Secret Invasion after the fifth episode before the whole thing fell apart like a 1986 Yugo going over a large speed bump. What did we think? Can Uncle…

It's been nearly 8 months since Bob Iger took the reigns back as CEO of Disney, and overall... things have been good. Until the last couple weeks. Not only did he manage to make MCU and Star Wars fans nervous, he stepped all over his Donald Duck when it came to the strike currently stirring the pot in Hollywood. We dive into all of it right here! A…

It's been 25 years since Mankind and Undertaker stepped through the curtain for one of most iconic professional wrestling matches of all time - Hell In A Cell at 1998's King of the Ring PPV. To commemorate this occasion, we're going to be rewatching the match and providing our own commentary to what has become an indelible part of each man's career…

Yeah, we took a little more time getting to this episode than we would've liked, but here it is in all its glory as we catch up on some more entertainment items (sports and otherwise) that have been happening around us including the return of CM Punk to AEW, reflections on the finish of the latest WrestleMania, the sinking of yet another DC movie, …
