    Our Favorites of 2023

    We start with What We've Been Watching including Love Island (7:03) and Red Dead Redemption 2 (13:40) before getting into our main topic (23:37). This week, we take a look back at the best things we've watched/played/read in 2023.

    The Marvels

    We start with what we've been watching including Fall of the House of Usher (3:30), Memories of Murder (6:05), Nyad (10:48) and Best in Show (16:40) before launching into our main topic, The Marvels (23:48). The Marvels brings together three superheroes from Marvel's recent projects: Brie Larson as Captain Marvel, Iman Vellani as Ms. Marvel, and Teyonah Parris as Photon from WandaVision. When Captain Marvel and Photon touch a rift in space time, their powers are entangled, causing them to switch places any time they use them. They join forces to stop Dar-Benn, a Kree warlord, from destroying Earth (of course).   You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.

    Our Favorite Scary Movies

    It's spooky season! 👻 We start with what we've been watching including Russian Doll (1:46), Our Flag Means Death (4:31), Gen V (6:20), and Loki Season 2 (10:55) before launching into our main discussion (12:50). What makes a great scary movie? How is a horror movie different from a thriller? Can a movie be scary without being classified as horror, or still be considered horror without being particularly scary? Join us as we dive into these questions and share our personal favorite scary movies in this special Halloween themed episode! Igor, let's get in the Lab! 🧟‍♂️   You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.
