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

The oven is done cooking, the sheets are out of the dryer, and TJ has done a bang up job digesting and excreting the contents of Part 1 into a satisfying meal of an X-Franchise. Last week, Trevor talked a whole bunch about things that feel true to making a better X-Men movie or TV franchise, and now he gets to be silly again as he sits back and listens to the musings of an almost-screenwriter. And that's when Pedro Pascal's acting comes in. Join us for too many damn characters, a

Yes friends here we are with more strike content - because even though we’re not Drew Barrymore, we still know what it means to not be a scab. That said, if some mouse-based mega corporation likes our ideas, we should be paid for them. This week and next week, Trevor and TJ will be doing a deep dive into X-Men comics history to pitch a better live action adaptation. Today, we begin with Trevor’s super-fan interpretation of plots, characters, and key points to cover, so that TJ can get to cooking for

It finally happened, gang. Trevor has completed his debt to TJ (per last December’s Reject or Renew Survivor Series) to complete the Mass Effect video game trilogy. And now TJ finally has a friend. As a bonus, we don’t have to be scabs because this is video game content! Join us for an extra long, extra special episode featuring: our space dad, our space raptor best friend, and our space conservative side chick, discovering those sweet sweet robot yams, hand tongs for space stations, misgendering

Wow. This anime sure is anime-ing. You know, the anime called One Piece? It's an anime called One Piece. It's about Pirates. Wowee! Pirates! Did we mention it's about Pirates? Not the Cypher Chief, but Pirates! I once encountered pirates... (proceeds to talk about it for nine episodes). Welcome to May's Reject or Renew where we finally dig into the first four arcs of the seminal anime One Piece. And we're not gonna pull a Zoro and take a nap during all the action until our cue is

A white woman? NO! And he falls in love with her? TYPICAL! Welcome back to AAPI Heritage month where we finally take a crack at movies representing that big ole Indian subcontinent with Tollywood’s smash hit, RRR, and the Pakistani slugfest, Polite Society. This is the week we learn that if you don’t have anything to say to a woman that isn’t about her womb, just don’t say anything at all. We’re even gonna weigh in on politics we know very little about, hot dog! Join us for being 20 (woof), our

Are straight people okay? Clearly not, since we're launching into unprompted Star Wars rants in the middle of AAPI Heritage Month. Welcome to a big heckin negative review episode as TJ and Trevor chime in about a genre that is very much not for them: the erotic thriller! Featuring 2007's Lust, Caution, 2022's Decision to Leave, and very much not any Marvel movies, why would you even think that? We take this opportunity to acknowledge why Sandra Oh should be in more things, and that you

We’ve hired the Cypher Chief to jack into your brains for yet another episode of classic anime franchises. This week’s slate is Ghost in the Shell (not the whitewashed one, we promise) and Lupin III: The First (Yeah, that one. No, the other one. No, the *other* other one. Look, just type in 2018 when you search for it, it’s the one with the CG). Tune in for what basically amounts to a pretty intelligible discussion of irl AI and the limitations of archeology, and… Not much else, tbh. Join us for

This episode is somehow simultaneously a warm bowl of soup and an absolute roller coaster ride - that's just the combination you get when you put us together to talk about Studio Ghibli movies. We return to the promised land that Hayao Miyazaki built in a cave with a box of scraps, by diving into the oft-overlooked film The Cat Returns, the classic growing pains of Kiki's Delivery Service, and the environmentalist juggernaut that is Princess Mononoke.

They’re not creepy, they’re not kooky, they’re altogether… disappointing. Welcome to this month’s Reject or Renew where TJ and Trevor cover the Riverdale-ification of yet another franchise with season one of Netflix’s Wednesday. We give flowers where due to Jenna Ortega as we wrestle with this wendigo of a mystery plot. Or is it a chupacabra? At any rate, join us for turning gay by moonlight, questionable characters named Rowan, the hot button topic that is Tyler’s mom, and aggressively playing the

Welcome back to another Reject or Renew where everything’s made up and the numbering of episodes doesn’t matter.This episode is kinda like if Trevor half heartedly played the keep-the-balloon-in-the-air game, and TJ had a knife (insert Vine reference here). Today we cover the Big Mouth of DC properties, the Harley Quinn animated series to close out our Ladies Who Punch series.

While it is not the month of his people, Trevor still manages to eke out yet another Marvel episode. He can’t keep getting away with this. In any case, welcome back to our second week of Women's Comic Movie History Month! TJ continues to fawn over our guests, Julienne Bailey (said guest) continues to fawn over women (who can blame her) and we all fawn over Florence Pugh (who can blame us). This time around, we tackle the two women-led solo MCU entries: Captain Marvel & Black Widow. The wounds

It's Women's History Month, and we're doing something very unusual for us and spotlighting ladies who punch. I’m shocked we never thought to do this before. Please welcome the return of our perennial stage manager Julienne Bailey as we dive deep into 2017's Wonder Woman and 2020's Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey (or is it the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn?

Welcome to another exciting artist spotlight, this time around for a man who can go from noble to crazy in 30 seconds: Denzel Washington. Moving past his award-winning performance in Malcolm X (see episode 24!), this week we are looking at a pair of films that are emblematic of the smooth-talking, cop-adjacent, Magneto-like gravitas that Denzel so effortlessly exudes: Inside Man & The Tragedy of Macbeth.

Equality will be a pleasantfeeling, as you tune in to hear our thoughts on 2019's Portrait of a Lady On Fire, and you'll wonder if you've woken up in another body as we discuss the 2016 anime film, Your Name.
