Do you like robot mechs? Do you like deus ex magic powers? Do you like dramatic flowing capes? Do you like not-so-thinly-veiled imperialism? If you said "yes" to any of the above, then you're going to love this breakdown of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion.

Do you remember the way things used to be? Simpler times in the early 2000s, before that kid from the Brat Pack who played Charlie Chaplain was Iron Man, before you had to know the difference between 15 different Chris-es, before the Mouse owned every superhero. Today we reminisce about the pre-MCU Superhero movies and try to decide on which non-Marvel/DC Supe belongs in the Avengers. Also, we are contractually obligated to tell you that we are in no way sponsored by the International Movie

"On today's episode, Kyle, Matt, and Todd pass down their fatherly wisdom to their collective son, Andrew, to help him fight off his schoolyard bully with the help of extraplanar demigods from the Final Fantasy series." was something that we said in the shownotes of an episode almost a year ago! Well Bad Dad, Rad Dad and Sad Dad are back to introduce their squishy son boy to a new friend.

Art imitates life. That is the same with comic books. Over the last few decades of storylines featuring our favorite comic book heroes, there have been plenty of problematic storylines, events, and characters that mirror the same cultural issues we have faced in America. The Comics Code Authority, culturally insensitive propaganda, and the fact that white comic book writers have likely unwittingly ruined a whole bunch of storylines featuring underrepresented populations are just a few entries in

It's been just under one month since we tried to make an NPC a protagonist, and now we're kicking off June by making us an NPC! What's a Tuesday without a little bit of escapism, am I right? Is it a sex-cult, is it WeWork, who knows! We're relocating to our favorite video game worlds to live out our day as non-player characters.

A good, good anime boy finds a magic talking book, and embarks on a journey to save his sister with the help of a lovable pair of colorful outcasts. Now, this might sound like your typical JRPG fare on the surface, but Yoko Taro's NieR franchise is anything but typical. Coming off the heels of three playthroughs of NieR: Replicant ver.1.22474487139, Andrew takes us on our own coming-of-age journey to learn the story and lore behind NieR.

An artificial life form created to perform menial labor one day becomes sentient and embarks on a journey to free themselves from their oppression. To do so, they must do the impossible: Escape to the surface world and become human. Only then will they be completely free. You may think to yourself: Why are we talking about the plot to 2018's Detroit: Become Human? And our response to you would be, oh no this isn't Quantic Dream's cinematic masterpiece...this is Bomberman, baby! Image gallery from

Oh boy, here come those dang investors again. They just won't STOP asking us to pitch them new mashups of old videogames. And it's like their asks are getting more and more hacky and uninspired each time...like, this week they just screamed "Make NPCs a protagonist!" and then sat there, nearly frozen in place. So we had no other choice than to pitch a series of titles diving in on extremely problematic premises like cryptocurrency, fast fashion, and the gig economy! Interested in the new MCU content

The suits at Discovery Ploose were so jealous that we were the only podcast talking about the Disney+ shows that they approached us to record an exclusive videogame-themed episode of History Channel's Forged in Fire. Don't ask them, just trust us. It's totally legit and definitely part of the FiF canon. Definitely. Speaking of premium streaming services, how about those MCU shows?

The writers over at the Star Wars Extended Universe had a dilemma. They needed to create an entire race of people based off of one side character in the original movies who barely spoke as whose most defining personality was "jetpack." So, they had created this cool tribe full of warrior-nomads who all lived by their own defined code and called them "Mandalorians." And then the writers must have taken a holiday, because when it was time to name the planet someone just copy+pasted "Mandalorian." And

To all of our surprise, Todd started his own superhero advertising agency during the pandemic and just informed us that we would be "pitching to him" a PR solution. After being told that they're completely different things, he just kind of shrugged and did that weird Ashlee Simpson SNL dance. So, for some reason, the rest of us are here pitching a complete public relations strategy for a particular DC superhero.

Much like trying to fit a stick figure zombie in a cage, we try and stretch premises like "shoot kitten from cannon" into a long-form TV series centered on the complex father/daughter relationship between an ambitious prodigy and a brilliant scientist who's fallen from grace as a result of his search for the truth.

Last year, Supergiant blew the gaming world away with their near-perfect and also very thirsty roguelike, Hades. We certainly could have spent this time talking all about how the gameplay is expertly crafted to make you feel like every run is forward progress, or how the characters are all incredibly unique and likable in their own way, or how the music and sound design helps to build an engaging world that constantly makes you crave just...one...more...attempt. Instead, we took the high road and
