This week, we get real. We talk about various forms of art and their power over both the consumer and the artist. We talk about how growth and change can mean abandoning a certain definition of yourself. We talk about Wolf Quest again. Important questions: What constitutes a masterpiece? Should you abandon important things for other important things? Will we ever stop talking about other people's podcasts? Keep an ear out for Andy getting deep and philosophical while Tony talks about the mermaid he saw. Our outro music is Theme from Penguins on Parade by Lee Rosevere. Find us on twitter! Andy is @royalty_valens Tony is @theaterbats
Batman and the McElroy brothers are our most common talking points, possibly behind Star Wars and casual racism. So this will be, if nothing else, a comfortably familiar episode for our listeners. Important questions: Is Batman too damn emo? Should you watch Batman Forever? Can you call the Knights Templar? Keep and ear out for Andy and Tony both subtly angling to become Lin Manuel Miranda's best friend. Our outro music is Theme from Penguins on Parade by Lee Rosevere. Find us on twitter!

Join your hosts as they hastily record a podcast episode in the middle of the night, with spotty Internet, one of them from a car. This is the glamorous world of podcasting. Important questions: What does a poorly run pet hotel look like? How do you burn some bridges? How does Andy record his half of the podcast? Keep an ear out for Tony actually adding something in post while Andy slowly freezes to death. Our outro music is Theme from Penguins on Parade by Lee Rosevere. Find us on twitter!

Remember last week, when Tony got really unnecessarily worked up about bears? WELL NOW YOU'LL KNOW WHY. Join us as we venture into the deep past, to a time when the mammoths still roamed these lands, to hear a the completely boring and pretty pointless pair of stories. Woo. Important Questions: How many older Disney movies did these films straight-up steal from? How gross is it to watch a woman and a bear fall in love? Are dogs like small bears? Keep and ear out for Tony railing into some wedding scenes while Andy laughs at a sitcom joke. Our outro music is Theme from Penguins on Parade by Lee Rosevere. Find us on twitter!

In our first review of a non-Disney movie, we fall into the pit of despair and misrepresentation that is Balto and Balto 2. On the other hand, that does mean we have a podcast episode titled "Wolf Quest," so that's pretty cool. Important questions: Why do we talk about race relations so often? Why did they make Balto half wolf? Why do bears keep popping up in these movies? Who is Wolf Jesus? Keep an ear out for Andy and Tony aging rapidly as the result of having to watch and review a bad, bad movie. Our outro music is Theme from Penguins on Parade by Lee Rosevere. Find us on twitter!

We can only assume that if you're still listening to this podcast then you really love hearing us talk about race and Star Wars. Well DO WE HAVE AN EPISODE FOR YOU! Important questions: How removed is the wizarding community from their non-magical counterparts? How do you write a story that people like without knowing why? Who Finn gon' fuck? Keep an ear out for Tony almost but not quite bursting into song while Andy refrains from talking about his fan theories.
That's enough controversial opinions on Batman movies. This week, we talk about how bad Suicide Squad was, which leads to us talking about video game portrayals versus movies, and then historical figures because why not. Important questions: What city did the original Assassin's Creed game take place in? What was the last decent portrayal of Harley Quinn? Are there too many white guys in video games? Keep an ear out for Andy disparaging sexist censorship in video games while Tony gets overwhelmed by his pronunciation of "Quebec."
We all remember when Andy decided he wanted the wrath of the Internet to rain down on him by claiming The Prisoner of Azkaban was the best Harry Potter Movie. Well now it's Tony's turn, as he rants ad nauseum about Nolan's Batman trilogy. Important questions: What does everyone know about Batman? Why was Batman v Superman so bad? How do you pronounce "Ra's al Ghul?" Keep an ear out for Andy sighing loudly whenever Tony says he doesn't like The Dark Knight, while Tony is quietly surprised about stuff Andy's been mad about for months.

That's enough double-length Rogue One talk for us! Time to get down to the nitty gritty! Time for that REAL TALK that you all listen for. Important questions: Is Disney beginning a new Renaissance? What are Tony and Andy's eating habits? What is art? Keep an ear out for Andy disliking Frozen for some reason while Tony enjoys five seconds of silence.

Hello, Internet! We have STAR WARS OPINIONS. That's right. Everybody sit down, prepare for some serious spoilers, and listen to us argue about whether or not puns are good characterization. Important questions: Why is Alan Tudyk in every episode of this podcast now? Is the force a religion? Why isn't this a regular Direct to Video episode? Keep an ear out for Andy getting the heebie-jeebies from a dead actor's face while Tony not-so-subtly references Hamilton again. Our outro music is Theme from Penguins on Parade by Lee Rosevere.
