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

May the Fourth be with you. And also with you having some. But let’s change it to trick John! May the cold medicine flow like the canonical midichlorians that are factually in your veins right now. Trevor's all hopped up on acetaminophen! For the first time in our *checks notes* second year of the show (stop it, passage of time, you STOP it now) May 4th actually lines up with our release schedule, and thus… We chose violence. We decided to take on the hoards of Star Wars fans in order to shout

What do we say after a month of Tolkien? NOT TODAY. Where we're headed, there is no "back again". Welcome to the medieval month of fantasy's Reject or Renew, where we tackle the first season of the behemoth who famously crapped the bed, Game of Thrones. Join us for brats with swords, Iron Fist's punchable face, oddly specific White Castle analogies, and the clear need for some characters to JUST DIE ALREADY! Btw, we're still waiting on that Arya solo series, HBO. Follow us on IG and Twitter

Get ready for an episode that isnearlyas long as the movie itself! Join us as we round out our LOTR coverage with Return of the King, featuring the return of our real life Eowyn, Julienne Bailey. We ride into battle one last time in defense of Faramir, female character development, and the rightful contributions of women Tolkein scholars! Join us for weird pre-corruption Smeagol, Saur-Instagram, Gandalf's love of big heckin' tiddies, and violating the rules of silent reading time. And... *sigh*

Much like Sam and Frodo, we're walking in circles around an Isengard's worth of Tolkein analysis as part of our LOTR month! And if you can't understand that sentence, turn back now. We're joined again by friend of the pod Ginnie Lee House to milk a whole bunch of religious parallels out of The Two Towers (though at the end of the day, we simply have to throw our hands up and say it's a musical). Join us for Trevor's misguided rants about the author, battle fatigue, the question of lobster mortality,

Aw yeah. We're going there and back again with champagne in a bag. Welcome to Lord of the Rings month, where we're finally going to put in the ground and cover with stone the iconic early 2000’s trilogy of fantasy's OG daddy. And it’s gonna give us several climaxes. Like. As in the movie has multiple peaks in the story arc. Why, what did you think we meant?All month we'll be bringing in LOTR superfans like the lovely Catherine Clarke Patterson so that TJ doesn't have to speak his unspeakable

Thank you for being a friend, listener. And because your heart is true, you'll be a pal and a confidant, right? Because this episode may be hazardous to your health. But especially your opinion. But ESPECIALLY Bart. We close out Women's History month with justice for Twilight stars and Trevor's complicated relationship with senior citizens by covering the Oscar-nominated Spencer and this months Reject or Renew of The Golden Girls: Season One. We'd include more Princess Diana references but John

What makes an animated movie the best of them all? And why do so many of those values overlap with Shrek? We're back for the raucous part two of our 2022 March Madness tournament, jumping back in with the Sweet 16, to determine a new champion of champions! Our guests return to have their hopes and dreams flogged like Miguel and Tulio from The Road to El Dorado, as these heavy hitters go head to head. Join us for the exciting conclusion, where everything will be decidedly not Awesome, as we say

Let's GO!!! Get your brackets ready, because we're back on our March Madness bullshit, this time with a tournament that TREVOR pitched! Though TJ still made the bracket, with his now-trademark cruel intentions firmly intact. This time around, we have a worlds colliding brawl between animated movies *not* made by the House of Mouse (or Ghibli, because like... it just wouldn't be fair). We've got movies repping studios far and wide, from heavy hitters like DreamWorks, to the now defunct Blue Sky, to

IT'S A PER-FECT DAYYYY (even though we missed International Women's Day by one day). This episode we're covering two classic 2000's comedies that showcase incredible performances by women, as well as confront our own personal childhood trauma: Legally Blonde and Mean Girls. Join us for analysis of Disney Channel character dating dynamics, Florence Pugh reboot requests, Maya Rudolph's standard two-episode sitcom arcs, and Trevor making fun of his high school principal.

Trevor apologizes in advance for his audio sounding like General Grievous. Anyway - we're back to finish what we started, except instead of George, we're going after JJ. This week we embark on the long journey through the sequels and spinoffs with Rogue One and The Force Awakens, two movies that (if you're not a shithead) make you look comparatively at all 70s movies and go, "Oh yeah. They were all kinda bad back then". Join us for the return of 3-4 Casablancas and his new Dutch friend Jan Catalan,

One thing is for certain: Trevor and TJ sure don't like schadenfreude. We're bringing this year’s Black History Month coverage to an unfortunate close with Eddie Murphy's comedy classic Coming to America, followed by a Reject or Renew of the first season of the HBO series Insecure (and frankly, if we said anything more, it would be a spoiler). Join us for TJ explaining away his mental illness, a deep need to subvert archetypes, questioning if Trevor stumbled into a Jheri curl, and Darth Vader

Wakanda Forever means Wakanda *forever.* It's been a long time coming (not helped by TJ forgetting to actually send the episode audio, whoops), but today's episode is another spotlight, this time on an artist taken from us far too soon: the king of black biopics, the incredible and impactful Chadwick Boseman. After much deliberation, where mistakes were surely made, we've selected three films to touch on this man's talent with his intense physical work in Get On Up, his effortless regality in Black

The central premise of this episode is that we're watching rom-coms. Alas, it is the week before that dreaded day of St. Valentine, which means it's time for morbid humor, and men just... just really needing therapy. This week we're going big, weird, and new with the classic When Harry Met Sally, the very-2000s "nice guy" film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and the new kid on the block, 2020's Palm Springs. Join us as we discuss the degradation of friendships, the underutilization of Cristin

It's the start of our FOURTH SEASON and it's Black History Month, which means it's time to cue LaKeith Stanfield (if Trevor can remember his name correctly that is)! Today we're zooming out of the typical Black history movies and focusing on the surging genre bending trends of contemporary Black artist: the new Netflix western The Harder They Fall, and the biting economic satire of Sorry to Bother You. After all this Black excellence, you'll never watch a boring white people western or an Adam McKay

You know it's a near 20 year old reboot when an aging character shows up just to say Facebook = Bad, blah blah blah, Millennials ruin everything. Welcome to the final episode of 2021, just before our winter break, as we jack in to the desert of the real one last time with The Matrix Resurrections, and a kinda sorta [spoiler] with The Good Place teed up for their first season on Reject or Renew. It's about to get real meta and self referential in here, and we're not just talking about another Mulaney

Happy Holidays! Thanks for listening to the podcast. You're our #1 customer! This year Trevor got a hankering for some Turboman, so we decided to dive into the absurd world of Christmas comedies. Somehow we ended up with these three nostalgia picks and watched them going "Oh yeah, that was pretty crazy, huh?" TJ puts his good ole Grinch cap on for his favorite holiday, as we usher in the season where leftist ideology and consumerism somehow go hand in hand. Join us for even more Adam Driver (now

That's right! It's time for a mega media corporation to create copyright holds on classic stories! It's a pre-holiday doozy as Cat Patterson joins us to rank the Disney Renaissance Movies: (almost) everything from The Little Mermaid to Tarzan. Join us for Trevor's continued fascination with Adam Driver, unexpected 80s synth, that 20% of Hunchback that's just unnecessary, and giving due respect to Alan Menken.

Welp, we better grab an antacid, because we're having a hard time digesting all these convoluted story elements. Yes, we are nearly finished with our foray into the early aughts juggernaut that is The Matrix by finishing the original trilogy. To set the scene for you, Trevor had to look up the synopses to understand what the hell they *apparently* were doing all along. Which is a surefire way to succeed in sci-fi. The chaos of this episode is genuinely more entertaining than the entirety of Neo and

You know where it goes… Or, you take the Red Pill Reviews podcast, and we show you just how deep the reference hole goes.

Yes, it's yet another full episode Reject or Renew, where we tackle the bizarre medical growth found deep with the bowels (literally) of the first season of Scrubs.
