Brainwaves is two GenX guys who never quite let go of the good stuff. Jason Reilly and Barry Nixon take the movies, comics, TV shows and cartoons that raised them and drag them, kicking and screaming, into middle age, one pointless debate at a time. How you watch a movie. What's worth owning. The stuff you loved at twelve that you're weirdly still defending at fifty. It's about 20 minutes, it settles nothing, and you'll leave with a laugh, a hot take, and something to argue about. If you grew up on the good stuff and you're still holding onto it, you're home.

    Buyer's Remorse: Our Worst 4K Purchases

    Ever bought a Blu-ray you instantly regretted? Barry and Jason come clean about their worst physical media purchases, the 4K discs, steelbooks, and Arrow releases they should have left on the shelf. Jason confesses to the Spawn Arrow release (a near-unwatchable movie with no disc swag), the Last of Us steelbook he'll never rewatch, and $750 worth of giant collectible Marvel comic reprints too big to even fit on a shelf. Barry owns up to the Welcome to Derry steelbook, Shin Godzilla (all shin, no Godzilla), an $18 clam chowder gone wrong, and a bottle of Johnnie Walker Double Black that smelled like a burning campfire. Plus the golden rule they're swearing by: never buy a TV series in 4K (with two Star Trek exceptions), and never, ever buy anything sight unseen. What's the purchase you regret most? Brainwaves with Jason and Barry. Two guys figuring out midlife one pointless debate at a time. New episodes weekly.

    Ranking Every Star Trek Series at 60

    Star Trek turns 60, and two lifelong Trekkies celebrate the only way they know how: ranking the series, defending their favorites, and arguing about where it all went wrong. Barry and Jason go deep on The Next Generation (their shared number one), Deep Space Nine and the Dominion War, and why Strange New Worlds lost the plot with the Muppet and musical episodes. Plus the deep cuts only real fans remember, Wrath of Khan vs Star Trek VI, Christopher Plummer's all-time great villain, why there's still no Next Generation in 4K, the Enterprise theme song debate, and a Star Trek comics rabbit hole. From Spock to Picard to Captain Pike, 60 years of Trek in one very nerdy conversation. What's your favorite Star Trek series? Brainwaves with Jason and Barry.

    Open Mic Nightmare

    Two improv guys talk comedy, the shows that shaped them, and the one terrifying night Jason tried stand-up. Barry and Jason break down what makes a perfect Seinfeld episode, the comics they've seen live (Tim Dillon, Shane Gillis, Jerry Seinfeld), and the foul-mouthed Dr. Phil act from Adam Ray that Barry's about to see in person. Then Jason tells the story of his one and only open mic in the 90s: calling a voicemail to find out if he made the lineup, hearing his name, and the five terrifying minutes that sent him running to improv instead, which is where these two eventually met. Plus the dream comics they'd still pay to see: Dave Chappelle, Bill Burr, Chris Rock, and a Dane Cook arena story for the ages. Who's the best comedian you've ever seen live?

    Everything's Rigged at the Carnival

    Are carnival games actually rigged? Barry and Jason take apart the whole midway: the basketball hoop that's a hair too small, the balloons nobody can pop, and Barry's one secret for actually winning (hint: don't play the house). Along the way, Jason's genius trick for scoring free eclipse glasses, the endless hunt for the elusive "freaky food," why every ride feels one bolt away from disaster, and a surprise He-Man Blu-ray unboxing that kicks the whole thing off. Plus, Greg the Hammer Valentine is wrestling at 70. Two GenX guys closing out summer at the CNE, one pointless debate at a time. Brainwaves with Jason and Barry. New episodes weekly.

    Dressed to the Nines vs Dressed by Accident

    Jason has a fashion problem. Barry does not. When these two hung out last weekend, Barry showed up looking like the father of the bride while Jason looked, by his own admission, like he came to fix the dishwasher. Then a coworker told him, kindly, that she hates his shirt. Something broke. So Jason submits to a full fashion intervention. Barry's rules, Jason's baffling new plan to match his shirt to his chair, and a conversation that somehow ends up at what you'd want to be buried in. Are you a Barry or a Jason?

    Coasts: East Vs West

    West Coast or East Coast, which one actually wins? Jason makes his case for the West: Vancouver, the mountains, and those Pacific sunsets that drop right into the ocean. Barry rides recency bias straight to the East after a lobster-fueled trip to Halifax. Along the way: the laid-back coastal state of mind, the Rocky Mountaineer, the hotel that may have inspired The Shining, Jason's surprising love affair with edamame, and a lobster roll debate that gets far more heated than two grown men should allow. East or West, where do you land? Brainwaves with Jason and Barry. Two GenX guys figuring out midlife one pointless debate at a time. New episodes weekly.

    Franchise Fever or Fatigue

    We put every franchise we love on trial. Which ones deserve to die, which ones need saving, and which will we defend forever even when they don't deserve it? It starts with the new Masters of the Universe (Barry's one-word review: betrayal) and spirals out into Mission Impossible, Batman, Star Trek, Doctor Who, and the one Jason's secretly tired of that might surprise you. We even try to guess each other's all-time favorite along the way. Nobody wins. Everybody has opinions. You'll leave with a hot take you didn't have before.

    Format Vs Comfort

    Is it better to experience something in the best possible format, or the most possible comfort? That's the debate that kicks off episode one of Brainwaves. The Odyssey is being called a must-see IMAX event, with screenings sold out for months, and neither of us managed to see it that way. Barry fought for the format and settled for Ultra AVX. Jason went straight for the VIP recliner and never looked back. From there we get into it: IMAX vs comfort, 4K discs vs streaming, owning movies vs long-term renting, and whether upgrading to a lie-flat pod on a 14-hour flight is worth every penny. Brainwaves is the show where we take pop culture and whatever debate we can't let go of and hash it out in about 20 minutes. Hosted by Jason Reilly and Barry Nixon. New episodes weekly.
