397 Year 9: Start

397 Year 9: Start

397 Year 9: Start Doom Scrolling Intro The Foos celebrate 8 years of the FOOBAR Show (and quietly admit that simply mentioning it is basically the anniversary special). They catch up on the last couple weeks: staying busy, missing an episode, and committing to keeping the show going whenever life allows. Florida stays undefeated: a man gets arrested outside a Taco Bell after allegedly exposing himself — and deputies find a live betta fish in his backpack. The fish gets handed off safely, then promptly earns the only correct name possible: Baja Blast. Geeking Out starts with The Boys sticking the landing. The finale brings the chaos and the gore, but also more emotional closure than expected — and the Foos talk through the big swings, the character wrap-ups, and why a hopeful ending still felt on-brand even if some people are nitpicking plot holes. Next up: Spider-Man Noir premieres with Nicolas Cage as an older, worn-down private investigator version of Spider-Man in 1930s New York — and the coolest part is you can watch it in true black-and-white or in a stylized color version. The Foos are watching it in black-and-white for maximum noir vibes and it’s hitting like a detective story first, superhero story second. Then the X-Men ’97 Season 2 trailer finally drops, confirming the return date and teasing time-scattered X-Men, Apocalypse energy, and a bigger multi-season plan. The Foos dig into the hype, the tone, and what they hope stays consistent from the first season. They also recap seeing The Mandalorian and Grogu in ScreenX and break down what that format actually is: one main screen with projected side-wall visuals that kick in during big action and flight sequences. The verdict: it’s basically a long, fun standalone Mandalorian episode — and that’s exactly why it works. Steph closes Geeking Out with a heads-up for the Pokémon die-hards: Pokémon XP — the first fan convention hosted by The Pokémon Company International — is coming to San Francisco in August alongside the Pokémon Championships. There’s a single-day pass interest list window and it’s basically a lottery, so if you want in, get on it. Here’s What I Would Do includes a follow-up victory lap from Alyssa (Costa Mesa) who turned off location sharing, survived, and refused to turn it back on even when her boyfriend got lost — plus a new letter from Brian (Temecula) whose wife keeps volunteering him for random community service missions without asking first.

396 Mortal Kombat 2 Invincible Finale Boys Backlash Flight of the Conchords

396 Mortal Kombat 2 Invincible Finale Boys Backlash Flight of the Conchords Doom Scrolling Intro Steph kicks things off with a Tip Top canned cocktail (Jungle Bird) while the Foos recap a packed weekend: Joe’s work family-day picnic vibes, notes for next year (more trucks, coffee cart dreams, boba cart fantasies), and a throwback hang with old band friends at Richie’s birthday — the same house where they used to throw teenage ragers. Joe lands a darkly perfect joke: the only time people call you “young” at 40 is at your funeral. Then Florida delivers, as always: a homeless man allegedly catches a felony after throwing an open ketchup packet at a Good Samaritan who checked on him — with the real story being the drugs they reportedly found afterward. Florida stays undefeated. Geeking Out is stacked: the Foos review Mortal Kombat 2 (May 8) and declare it’s basically a full-on Johnny Cage movie — bigger scale, more classic characters, more fan service, and fight scenes that feel like the game’s arenas brought to life. They roast a friend for making it halfway through the movie before realizing he thought he was watching Street Fighter. They also hit the Invincible season 4 finale fallout: Mark’s trauma, Thragg stepping up as the looming big threat, Viltrumite chaos, and the internet’s meme machine going into overdrive (mustaches included). Then it’s The Boys discourse: the newest episode getting the lowest rating of the series, pacing complaints, and the show flirting with burnout — plus the wild release idea of the series finale in 4DX one day early… and the local showings basically selling out instantly. From there it’s rapid-fire: Green Day’s upcoming comedy movie Nimrods (Legion M involvement), the Swatch x Audemars Piguet “Royal Pop” collab causing real-world chaos (lines, cops, pepper spray) over a watch you can’t even buy online, and a Mortal Kombat trivia quiz where Steph nearly goes perfect… until the razor-hat question exposes the Kung Lao/Liu Kang mix-up. Here’s What I Would Do wraps with two dilemmas: Tori (Burbank) thinks a married coworker is crossing the line with “work spouse” energy and wants to shut it down without workplace fallout. Alyssa (Costa Mesa) agreed to location sharing with her boyfriend and now feels watched — and the Foos call it what it is: modern convenience turning into surveillance real fast. Before the outro, they shout out the Flight of the Conchords show at the Greek (their first time in years), with surprise moments and guests — and plenty of “Netflix is a joke” energy.

395 Clayface Horror Movie Maul Shadow Lord AniMay Free Comic Book Day

395 Clayface Horror Movie Maul Shadow Lord AniMay Free Comic Book Day Doom Scrolling Intro Steph opens with a wild work moment: getting called a “fat bitch” by a frustrated patient during physical therapy — and somehow holding it together professionally while dying laughing internally. The Foos ease into the weekend recap with drinks (Steph’s whiskey-limoncello highball, Joe’s Michelob Ultra “carb watch” era), a Shoelace Express show at Pro5 in Upland, and Joe accidentally driving to the wrong Eureka because he didn’t realize there’s more than one. Then the Florida chaos arrives: a woman allegedly trashes a Subway over peppers on her mobile order — knocking equipment around, throwing trays, and earning herself an arrest for criminal mischief. Florida, never change. Geeking Out starts with DC going full horror: Clayface is getting a biological horror-thriller treatment, leaning hard into the actor-turned-monster origin and the “this is not a superhero movie” vibe. They talk why Batman villains can be more interesting when Batman isn’t even in the story, and take a quick shot at Sony’s villain-movie track record (with Venom being the best of the bunch). Star Wars Maul Shadow Lord continues heating up, with episodes dropping in pairs and the finale landing on May 4 for Star Wars Day. The Foos debate Maul vs Vader, who’s scarier vs who’s more interesting to watch, and even who has the better skincare routine (spoiler: Vader’s face is not winning any awards). Then anime gets its own month: Crunchyroll turns May into AniMay with watch parties, award tie-ins, theater events, and big headliners like Chainsaw Man the Movie and Re:Zero content — followed by the eternal question: who has a Crunchyroll login they can borrow? They also dig into a Magic: The Gathering resurgence (Vegas buy/sell events, collabs like Spider-Man and Avengers, and whether they should start playing again), plus hype for the new Mortal Kombat movie and favorite characters. Before signing off, Steph drops a genuinely useful heads-up: Free Comic Book Day is Saturday, May 2 — 24 free titles across publishers, perfect for newcomers to sample different vibes. She highlights a few standouts and brings up AWA’s Telepaths — which is getting an Apple adaptation called Liminal starring Vanessa Kirby and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. Sports makes a brief, chaotic comeback too: MLB glove break-in methods, including steaming… and one player straight-up microwaving his glove for two minutes.

394 Ontario Tower Buzzards Endgame Rerelease Superman Day Errands Spiral

394 Ontario Tower Buzzards Endgame Rerelease Superman Day Errands Spiral Doom Scrolling Intro The Foos recap their first trip to an Ontario Tower Buzzards game — the new Dodgers affiliate — and break down why minor league baseball rules: cheap tickets, great sightlines everywhere in the stadium, room to roam, and an overall vibe that feels worth what the city spent building it. They talk pre-gaming in the car, grabbing jerseys and hats, and how Ontario’s growing into a legit local sports hub alongside the Reign. Geeking Out turns into a mini rant about Disney’s latest money move: re-releasing Avengers Endgame with added scenes to “bridge” into Avengers Doomsday — plus the rollout of Infinity Vision, Disney’s premium large-format branding meant to compete with IMAX. They also touch on the chaos of closed-door Doomsday trailers, fake AI trailers spreading online, and why Marvel feels more fragmented than ever. Then it’s all about Superman Day (April 18): LA pop-ups, photo ops, limited edition art board facsimiles, and the never-ending temptation of collector merch. Steph’s especially hyped for the new Supergirl and loves the emotional angle of her Krypton story — and why that pain might explain her red-sun partying habits. Here’s What I Would Do features two very relatable workaday dilemmas: Kevin (Pomona) accidentally becomes “Safety Net” at work and wants to kill the nickname before it becomes his entire job description. Tara (Upland) can’t run a single errand without it turning into a 3-stop spiral that eats two hours and a piece of her soul — and the Foos confirm this is basically adulthood now.

393 Kit Kat Heist Darth Maul Punisher Special Ontario Tower Buzzards

393 Kit Kat Heist Darth Maul Punisher Special Ontario Tower Buzzards Doom Scrolling Intro Steph shows off her Universal Studios Japan 25th Anniversary Pikachu headgear and the Foos talk about how Japan does theme-park merch the right way: nobody’s “too cool,” and the fluffier the headwear, the better. Then Joe brings a bizarre real-world mystery: a shipment of 12 metric tons of Kit Kat bars vanishing in transit from Italy to Poland — and how brands immediately turned it into a full-on social media roast fest. There’s even a tracker that lets you check lot numbers to see if your Kit Kat came from the stolen shipment. Geeking Out kicks off with Euphoria Season 3 premiering at Coachella (April 12) before hitting streaming — and a quick reality check on why Coachella is a young person’s sport (and why “camping” at festival prices is basically just paying to roleplay homelessness). From there it’s straight into the nerd pipeline: Star Wars Maul Shadow Lord drops on Disney+ (Darth Maul rebuilding his criminal empire post–Clone Wars), plus a Marvel street-level shot of adrenaline — The Punisher One Last Kill arriving May 12 with Jon Bernthal back as Frank Castle. They also hit rapid-fire updates: Paradise is officially locked in for a third and final season, The Boys returns (final season, allegedly the most brutal yet), Invincible Season 4 is out with the finale coming soon, and the Foos keep chipping away at The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel while talking about Lenny Bruce, comedy history, and how the show’s jokes evolve season to season. Here’s What I Would Do stays light and funny: Luis (Ontario) gets emotionally abandoned by his longtime barber and spirals into bad-haircut distrust. Danielle (Chino Hills) is losing her mind because nobody respects RSVP deadlines anymore, and the Foos break down the only correct approach: deadline = yes/no, no “maybe.” Before they bounce, they give Ontario some love: the new minor league baseball team Ontario Tower Buzzards, why minor league games are underrated, and how it’s just nice having affordable local sports nearby.
