On the gang's first commentary of the year, they are delighted to watch and talk over the Cannon Films classic, Enter the Ninja! Why is the big villain's office clearly in a hotel pool room? How many wardrobe changes does Franco Nero go through in this film? And what is with this hook-handed goblin?

On this super-sized, listener-requested episode of The Nexus, the gang, by the luck of the draw, is chatting about two consecutively aired episodes of TNG!
First up, it's the silly and sad return of the beloved Montgomery "Scotty" Scott as James Doohan guests on "Relics." Originally airing October 10, 1992, this episode has Scotty annoying Geordi at work, Picard getting...
On the stunning conclusion of The Snyder Sessions, the gang chats about the back nine of Zack Snyder's epic superhero rodeo, including Ma Kent making a "thirsty" joke, Cyborg's vision of a melted Lois Lane, the out-of-left-field addition of Martha Manhunter, Superman slicing and dicing Steppenwolf, and much more!
Thanks so much for supporting our Patreon endeavor. The Snyder...
On this month's listener-requested AD, the guys are chatting about an absolutely dreadful, completely incomprehensible episode of The Transformers, "Carnage in C-Minor." Originally airing October 14, 1986, this episode features a planet of elf-looking creatures that speak only while singing, a staggering amount of totally unknown Autobots and Decepticons, and one robot that wants to fo...

On the second part of our massive dissection of this cinematic superhero slobber-knocker, we're talking about it all, folks: Vulko being a super-creepy amateur pornographer, Bruce Wayne's cynical sense of humor being the only comedy that works in this movie, the absolutely wild Hot Dog/11 that happens during the Flash's intro, and we even pitch a new, totally awesome, J.K. Simmons-led, Commissi...

On the first part of our massive, three-part conversation on Zack Snyder's Justice League, the guys kick off what turned out to be a four-hour recording session! In Part 1, they address the toxicity and entitlement of The Fandom, what Darkseid's posse could've looked like, why villagers would sing a song to a sweater, Steppenwolf's new voice modulation sounding like a broken Wendy's dr...

On this month's listener-requested entry in the Gleep Glossary, Eric and the guys all learn about Hohass Ekwesh, an equestrian-leaning fighter pilot for the New Republic.

How on Earth does a person watch this start to finish and think the film glamorizes mob life? Is it possible to watch this movie without eating Italian food right before or immediately after? And what's everyone's fav...

On this month's trip into The Nexus the gang chats about a rad ep of TOS and a totally garbage clip show episode of TNG!
First up on TOS, it's "The Immunity Syndrome," which originally aired back on January 19, 1968. Was this supposed to be a Star Trek chamber drama? Is Bones getting the crew addicted to crank? And why did anyone think that d...

On the first trip into the Nexus of 2021, the gang is chatting about two pretty good episodes of Trek, but only one with tons of hilarious gangster slang!

On this month's WLM, the gang is chatting about one of their faves from 2020, Cathy Yan's Birds of Prey! How incredible are some of the visuals in this film—like that factory explosion?! How refreshing was it to watch a DCU that was fun again? And who wouldn't want a 5am taco run?! PLUS: InfoWars Conspiracy Peddler Alex Jones sounds off on Gotham City injustices!

OH MY GOD IT’S LISTENER REQUEST MONTH.
That’s right! It’s everyone’s favorite time of the year, except for Chris Cabin that is. And that’s because it’s the one time of the year you tell US what to watch and Chris Cabin is a fascist bully.

On this month's AD, the gang chats about the Disney+ original, The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special! Was this thing crafted to specifically appeal to all these stuck-in-the-past Star Wars fans? Why couldn't they throw some more lines to Billy Dee? And is this better or worse than Robot Chicken? PLUS: The biggest problem is obviously taking out all the cocaine-related energy from the orig...
