In this podcast, Mr. Richardson and Mr. G sit down with the valedictorian and salutatorian of the Riverhead High School Class of 2025—Gianna and Selhvin.

Now, we all know these two have the grades, the brains, and the college plans to match—but today’s episode isn’t just about report cards and GPAs. We’re diving deeper: into the challenges they faced, the advice they would give, the pop culture they clung to, and even who would play them in the movie version of their lives.

Whether you’re a student looking for inspiration, a parent who wants a peek behind the curtain, or just someone who loves a good underdog-overcomes-all story (with a few Marvel and LEGO references thrown in), this one’s for you.

Class is back in session!!

On today’s podcast, we’re breaking it all down PTI-style as the Academy pulls a shocker—members must now actually watch Oscar-nominated films before voting (and yes, Big Brother is watching).

We debate if Predator: Badlands is turning monsters into heroes, whether Andor’s hype could spark backlash, and if Sinners is heading for Oscar glory.

Marvel's Fantastic Four: First Steps brings retro flair and the Silver Surfer, but does it change our excitement? We also tackle the return of I Know What You Did Last Summer, Disney’s undead commitment to ZOMBIES 4, the comeback of Wednesday, an action comedy with Idris Elba and John Cena, and a 4K Brat Pack classic.

And yes—the original Star Wars is back in theaters. Will we see it again? Spoilers: 1/3 of us will!

Join us as class is back in session.

🎙️Welcome back, class! Sharpen those pencils, hide your emotional trauma, and maybe keep a tissue box nearby—because today, we’re diving headfirst into Invincible Season 3, the most gloriously violent, gut-punching animated series to ever make you question superhero ethics and your own feelings.

Mr. Richardson, Eddie, the Man of a Thousand Shows™, and Mr. Richardson's 14-year-old daughter Brynn, who, yes, is technically not old enough to watch Invincible, but let's just say… she audited the class under protest and with parental guidance.

In today’s lesson plan, we’ll be assigning grades to a star student (spoiler: it’s probably not Oliver), handing out detention slips to the most irritating characters, solving the mystery of “What Just Happened?” for the moments that made zero sense, and processing some truly shocking plot twists. Oh—and of course, we’re putting Immortal on blast for once again proving he's spectacularly bad at doing his job.

So grab your notebooks and avoid any portals created by vengeful multiversal maniacs—class is officially in session!
