Kyle ventures into the television wasteland to discuss the first season of Prime Video’s Fallout TV series. Joining him are colleagues Rotem Rusak and Michael Walsh, who reflect on the show’s many characters, what factions we could see next year, and why heading to New Vegas could be more surprising than we think!

This week, Kyle sits down with Marvel Comics writer Benjamin Percy to talk about the culmination of his tremendous 50-issue run writing X-Force, from how he picked who’d go on the team, to making Beast into a bad guy. And, of course, how many times he thinks Wolverine has died, canonically.

This week, Kyle once again welcomes Tai Gooden to the show to geek out about something very near and dear to both of them: the bygone era of TV theme songs. With lyrics! They test each other, sing a few, and discuss why they were such a big part of childhood for ‘90s kids.

Kyle still has giant monsters on the brain and so as an addendum to last week’s episode, he discusses some of his very favorites in the genre. Godzilla, sure, but also Gamera, Daimajin, Cloverfield, and more!

This week, Kyle lets out his inner kaiju as he sits down with monster expert Dr. Emily Zarka, creator and host of MONSTRUM on PBS’ Storied channel. Together they discuss why we’re so fascinated by giant monsters, their social implications, as well as why the likes of Godzilla, Kong, and Mothra hold such special place in our hearts.

This week, Kyle and returning champ Michael Walsh discuss the 40th anniversary of This Is Spinal Tap and count down their top 10 personal favorite comedy movies ever made to determine which is the very best.
