There is No Such Thing as Hope: Obito Uchiha Character Study

And here we are with the finale to our Masked Villain Character Study, We are going over the character of Obito Uchiha aka Tobi aka “Madara Uchiha.” But before we do that, we HAD to discuss the Netflix Jake Paul v Mike Tyson “fight” (if we could even call it a fight) and air out our grievances against the streaming platform. Just know that this episode will be a chaotic one.

I Find Your Lack of Faith Disturbing: Darth Vader Character Study

Well we did it yall! We made it the the Big 100!!! One-hundred episodes of pure chaos and calamity! But we wouldn’t have it any other way. And to celebrate, we continue our Masked Villain Character Study Series with the greatest villain to grace the media: Darth Vader!

Venom The Last Dance Movie Review

Hello fellow Blerdizens! Yes, one Meech has survived the Ascension! We are here for yet another movie review. This time, it is the movie that we were both excited and scared for, considering how movies have shaped up this year. It is Venom: The Last Dance! We discuss the movie, what went right, what went wrong, and our thoughts on the Venom Trilogy overall. We also go into a What’s Hot with the news about a certain movie cancellation. Are you ready to have One Last Dance?

Aliens vs. Predators: Redemption

And here we are! To continue our spooky October month, we are doing a Deconstruction/Reconstruction of Alien vs Predator - Requiem. We discuss the problems that the movie had and decide to take a cue from Lord Beerus and hakai it from existence. From there, we build it back up from nothing. Remember, before creation comes destruction.

Cabin in the Woods Movie Review

Here we are dear listeners. To wash our mouths and eyes of what we saw last week, we have decided to start our Spooky October Movie Reviews with Cabin in the Woods. It may be a slightly older movie, but it is chocked full of fun and tropes that needed to be analyzed. You don’t want to miss it.

Joker: Folie a Deux Review

In a movie that will surely be a future Deconstruction/Reconstruction, we “recap” Joker: Folie a Deux. We get into what this movie attempted to do, give each other therapy sessions after our viewing experience, and discuss if the Elseworlds stories have a place in the new DC Universe.
