Trevor Catalano & TJ Patrick

Two millenials with way too much time on their hands. Hosts TJ Patrick and Trevor Catalano take a dive into their binge watching and deep nerd musings. Also shouting at each other over Zoom is better than shouting into the void. From major franchises to coveted cult classics, from artsy cinema to binge-able TV shows, here at The Red Team Podcast, we"re after fun and surprisingly insightful takes on your favorites, but maybe also introducing you to something new. Join us weekly, as we explore the

Bah Humbug, listeners - it's time for a Christmas Carol round up. Out of the litany of options, we chose to meet our Muppet quota with The Muppet Christmas Carol, and then scratch our heads through the Netflix pop-ified animated remake of the 1970s movie musical Scrooge (yes, all of those words are necessary to describe this), and the absolute turducken of a movie that is Will Ferrell & Ryan Reynold's Spirited. We then proceeded to pitch every other possible better adaptation. Join us for Muppet

Listen. We were having a good run with this segment, watching some shows, bopping along, doing a fan survey every week. But then, Danny McBride happened. As Danny McBride often does. But still, we thought "Maybe we will be pleasantly surprised. It won't happen, but maybe." All of this to say that this week TJ and Trevor destroy the hopes of a dear friend by reviewing the first season of HBO's The Righteous Gemstones. I would normally note that it won’t be pretty, but it’s a Danny McBride project,

FIRE! FIRE! EVERYONE GETS PAID TO SHOUT FIRE! Welcome to our little shoehorned edition of Dissin' Franchise, where we're looking at the masterpiece-turned-Johnny Depp-circle-jerk that is the Pirates of the Caribbean original trilogy. Despite a good run, Trevor's attempts of emulating Luis from Ant-Man are about to go downhill very quickly.

Welcome back to the final episode of our X-cursion, where we find out how two men who regularly go to therapy react to the patriarchal shitstorm that are the solo “Wolverine” “films” (and we use those terms loosely). Ya know, the one where Hugh Jackman shows us Logan’s origin by… Skipping the actual origin. Or the one where Hugh Jackman punches a Japanese guy for… Speaking Japanese. Or the one where Hugh Jackman donates sperm. Join us for nice fridgable families, According to Jim flashbacks, sexy

Welcome back to the X-Men movie tour, where the characters are randomly plucked and the timelines don't matter. We're taking a look at the reboot-sequel trilogy (yes, there are only three, shush) because we're just so darn fascinated with that thing that happened between Professor X and Magneto during the Cold War. And how they never seem to age… Join us for the start of lovely fridge-able families, Charles "Erik No!" Xavier, Erik "Fuck Mystique" Lensherr, and my sister-friend Raven from skül. And

The Hollywood executives are on their coke bender again. Welcome to another ill-advised superhero three episode arc where TJ and Trevor first tackle the original X-Men trilogy of the early 2000s. Cue the trenchcoats and black leather jumpsuits. It's hard to tell who is the protagonist, but then again our beloved characters are hardly recognisable anyway, especially when they make everyone American and way too tall. Join us for Magneto's action figures (I mean minions), Charles "Not All Men" Xavier,

Yeah yeah yeah, so we ran into a little scheduling problem and now we're doing Reject or Renew early. We’re fine! Everything is fine. Don’t worry about it. Returning to the task at hand, we dive back into the nocturnal misadventures of the no-parents batboy, by finishing off the first mondo sized season of Batman: The Animated Series. The sheer number of episodes, the BBC is shaking. Join us for fall girlies, washed up old men, and head-cannon endings that you can’t take away from us, it’s better

Who you gonna call? A new screenwriter. It's week two of October and we're taking on the bafflingly still relevant Ghostbusters franchise with the 1984 original, the SNL saturated 2016 "reboot", and the surprisingly enjoyable Ghostbusters: Afterlife. At the end of the day, at least they didn't give it to Joss Whedon. Join us for topical Olivia Wilde, Paul Rudd's stock in Basken-Robbins, the blessing that is Kate McKinnon, and the real hero of the story: the EPA.

It's October, which means it's all about the spooky - but it's also aboutfamily. We're kicking off the month with the wholesome Addams Family live action movies (there was definitely not a third...), and the excessively less wholesome Beetledeuce. Beagleflutes? Beezelgoose. Trevor cannot pronounce it anyway. Join us for spooky non-binary children, Trevor's lack of a uterus, "Christian Halloween", and a strong distrust of young Alec Baldwin. Or really any Alec Baldwin, for that matter. Check out our

It's the epic conclusion of Spider-Month, and we're not doing the Sony Villain-verse unless you're paying us! Yes, you're about to hear how well two men who love puzzles, actually, pivot when they realize they've made a mistake: today we take a precedented detour by discussing the narrative of the 2018 Insomniac Spider-Man video game, as well as the very real winner of June’s Reject or Renew draft, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. (Listen, mistakes were made, and Coupling would have been one.)

When we said a month, we meant a MONTH, damnit. They say that a hero can save us, and that's evident as we round out our mainline entries with the two best** spider movies to date: Spider-Man: No Way Home and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse. There is quite literally not a single Spider-Person in film who does not cameo in this episode, for better or worse. And also Adam West for some reason. Join us for shock-jockey sound bites, fans‘ inability to keep a damn secret, and Jamie Foxx building Lego

Our spiders are men and our poops are regular - it's week two of Spider-Month. This episode we start the three (admittedly six, counting crossovers) movie arc of Tom Holland's Peter Parker with Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Far From Home, and boy is there just too much corporate fuckery from Disney and Sony to unpack. Join us for Trevor calling for people to be bullied, Shocker's reliable lack of personality, and accepting that the MCU is reproducing faster than a small rodent. Follow us on

Welcome to the first entry of what is sure to be a long and storied Spider-Month, where we're cranking out all the cinematic Spider-content our Spider-hearts Spider-desire. And what other way to start than getting this reactionary take on Spidey out of the way by covering the Amazing Spider-Man films. Ya know, the films wherein Andrew Garfield can absolutely play Peter Parker. He just doesn't get to.

None of you are going to have any idea what we're talking about in this episode -- and we're just fine with that! Welcome to the second half of our Reject or Renew double header, where we psychoanalyze TJ through through recapping all of the random lines and references he’s been spewing in his everyday life from the 2004 anime Sgt. Frog. You will never listen to this show the same way again, but the Ribbit March is still cute and catchy. Join us for anime simps, Tamama's elusive gender, calling out

Get ready to trespass through some flesh walls, we're starting our two week RoR double feature with the first season of the 2016 instant Netflix success, Stranger Things! It's a big old batch of 80's nostalgia full of nosebleeds, awful parenting, and 6th graders gaslighting their new friends for information.

In case you didn't get enough of it on TikTok, welcome back to the endless Marvel discourse. It's evident we're not the same Thor we were four years ago as we finish (mostly) our coverage of the Infinity Saga with the one two punch of Trevor's babies, Infinity War and Endgame. Everyone's hot, no one is sexy, and we ask the real questions, like whether they should recast Star Lord with Joe Keery.

Time to punch some Nazis, you f#@king egg. This week (and like, three weeks late, sorry) we're heading back to the land of kiwis and hobbits to honor the Pacific Islander part of AAPI Heritage Month by taking a look at the currently thriving career of Jewish-Maori director Taika Waititi. Cue the Michael Jackson haka, we're tackling one of Taika's debut projects with Boy, the New Zealand cult classic What We Do In The Shadows, and the Oscar winning Jojo Rabbit.

Well folks, the day has arrived at long last. The day TJ has been dreading ever since we first covered A New Hope. The movie that pulled a Babu Frik and erased TJ's brain. And of course. We had to do it to him on his birthday. Threepio won't have to give us the odds on how this episode will go. Between the two of us, we have more notes than an organic chemistry exam, which means JJ and Chris Terrio will have to see us after class.

Okay 3, 2, 1, SOME- Welcome back to another Reject or Renew, where plans were made and plans were not adhered to: this week we cover the iconic late 90's anime, Cowboy Bebop, and if you're hoping we also tacked on the live action from last year... Just know we tried. Much like how we tried with Kung Fu Hustle. More on that in the episode itself. Join us this week for bounty hunters who never catch anyone, character selection
