The Boys Series Finale Was DISAPPOINTING?? + Backrooms Movie & The Odyssey Casting Drama | Ep. 23

Toy Story 5 Full Review, the Pixar Theory Deep Dive, and Why Our Faith Is Not Up for Debate |  Ep. 27

Alex and Brandon open with a response to a military friend who felt alienated by how faith-heavy the last episode's alien debate was. The guys get real about what their platform means to them, why they will never quiet their faith to grow an audience, and what Christianity is actually supposed to look like vs. what it often looks like in practice. Brandon shares how meeting Alex in the military reading a Bible sparked the friendship that became this podcast. Then it's full-on Toy Story mode. The guys saw Toy Story 5 and they did not agree. Brandon liked it, Alex was emotionally checked out from start to finish. They break down why Jessie had to become the leader, what the Army of Buzz Lightyears scene did for the movie, and whether the AI and devices theme landed. The Jessie and Buzz first kiss gets its long-overdue celebration. The Pixar Theory gets a serious deep dive: when exactly does a toy come alive, what does Forky being a fork have to do with it, how do tech devices like Lily Pad fit, and what happens to Woody when Andy dies? Then the real debate kicks off: should Toy Story have stopped at three, or can this franchise keep going?

We Ranked ALL 3 YouTuber Movies (Iron Lung, Obsession & Backrooms) | Ep. 25

The nerds are back and we are going into three different universes that have taken Hollywood by storm — Iron Lung, Obsession, and Backrooms. All three directed by YouTubers. All three made for a fraction of what major studios spend. All three crushing at the box office. We give our honest ratings on each, debate which one actually wins, and talk about what this means for the film industry going forward.We break down why Iron Lung's cosmic horror concept works on paper but may not land for everyone, deep dive into everything that makes Obsession one of the best horror movies in years, and revisit Backrooms with fresh eyes. Then we close it out with a review of Masters of the Universe — a movie that deserves more attention than it's getting right now.

The Boys Series Finale Was DISAPPOINTING?? + Backrooms Movie & The Odyssey Casting Drama | Ep. 23

The nerds are back for Episode 23! We kick things off with a Spurs playoff update before diving deep into the series finale of The Boys — was Homelander's death satisfying? Did Butcher deserve his ending? And why did the final season leave so many plot holes? We break it all down. Then we shift to upcoming movies everyone's talking about: Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey and whether the casting controversies are worth the rage, plus who really qualifies as a TRUE movie star in Hollywood today — Timothy Chalamet, Zendaya, Christian Bale, and more are up for debate. We also get into the Backrooms movie directed by Kane Parsons — what the backrooms lore is all about, liminal spaces, and why this could be the next massive universe for nerds everywhere. Plus a quick review of Passenger before we wrap up!
