    160. Zorroary: The Mask of Zorro (1998), feat. Ibrahim Moustafa

    Bienvenidos luchadores. Zorroary, our month-long deep dive into the various adaptations and adventures of Zorro, begins. We kick things off with 1998 blockbuster The Mask of Zorro. And who better to join us than fellow Zorro buff, and comics creator Ibrahim Moustafa. We also briefly look at a few other Zorro adaptations and our exposure to those versions; somehow Keigen never saw a Zorro before this movie. Stay tuned for the rest of the month, we’ll be looking at Zorro’s very first adventure, as well as a few other noteworthy Zorro outings.

    159: 2025 Pickup - Everything in-between

    We've reached the end of our 2025 catch-up, and we decided to throw everything but the kitchen sink at this last round of things to catch up on. We did movies, shows, and comics already, so we rounded it out with anime (which doesn't count as a show, I swear), a YouTube series (which doesn't count as a show, I swear), and music. Join us as we finally say goodbye to 2025 and start our new 11-month year! Want to support the show and get exclusive bonuses?

    We're picking up the stuff we missed from 2025! Lan, Keigen, and Salt have each given each other homework to read, watch, and engage with, and we sit down to discuss our thoughts.

    155. Ultimate Ride Along: Endgame Pre-Game

    We couldn't let 2025 go without one last episode to round things out. With Marvel's Ultimate Endgame #1 dropping today, Lan and Keigen went through the trials and tribulations of reading every Ultimate Marvel comic released since Ultimate Universe #1 (2023). We cover Ultimate Wolverine, Ultimate X-Men, Ultimate Black Panther, Ultimate Spider-Man, the Ultimates, and even Ultimate Spider-Man: Incursion. Every single issue of all these books released to date. It's no surprise this episode ended up as long as it did. Thank you for a wild 2025, and we look forward to bringing you more Midnight Grappler Animals in 2026! Happy New Year! Want to support the show and get exclusive bonuses?
