  • Episode 52 - Wicked: For Good
    Nov 25 2025

    No good pod goes unpublished! Alex and Zach return to the mics for a return to Oz and the conclusion of the Broadway hit adaptation Wicked: For Good. They discuss how it lines up with the original stage production, how Act 2 compares to its Act 1 movie and stage predecessors and get in deep on the music and lore of Oz. Plus, they dive in on all of its possible awards chances and so, so, so much more.

  • Episode 50 - The Fantastic Four: First Steps
    Aug 6 2025

    "I herald his beginning. I herald your end." We herald the return of Alex and Zach to the MCU! We take our first steps into Phase Six with the return of Marvel's First Family to the big screen in THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS. We compare the 37th film in the MCU to the previous cinematic attempts at the Fantastic Four, examine if its retro-future style over substance and how this movie takes us towards the end of the Multiverse Saga and Avengers: Doomsday.
