    16: “Godzilla vs Kong” Review: The Audience is the Real Winner

    After years of build-up and hype, “Godzilla vs Kong” finally stomped its way into our living rooms and theaters (and hearts) this past week to save us all from the pandemic! Hyperbole aside, we’re stoked to be talking about what’s bound to be the biggest film release of the year and the personal ways we each celebrated along the way. Should go without saying, but huge SPOILER ALERT for those of you that haven’t watched the film yet!

    15: “Resident Alien”: Who’s The Killer, And More Than One Alien?

    Who really killed Sam Hodges? Is Harry really the only alien walking amongst us? Why won’t they give Linda Hamilton more lines? We’re figuring that out on today’s podcast as “Resident Alien” quickly speeds towards its season one finale on Syfy! This show is living rent free in our heads at the moments, so it’s only fair we break down and broadcast some of our wild fan theories to try and answer these pressing questions. Needless to say, spoilers ahead!

    14: “WandaVision Finale”: The MCU does “Pet Sematary”

    Another week, another Disney+ finale that somehow came out of nowhere! You know we’re gabbing about “WandaVision” on today’s episode, and if you’ve been on TikTok at any point in the last 8 weeks, you also know there is PLENTY to talk about. Where do the characters go from here? How does the finale set up future shows and movies? Was it really Agatha all along? (*Spoiler alert, it was crippling grief and depression.) We also ask what’s perhaps the most important question of all: What are all those TikTokers going to post about now that their main source of content has reached it’s emotional conclusion? Oh right, “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.” Get ready for a thousand Chris Evans cameo theories!

    13: “Godzilla” Geek Out: The Showa Years

    What’s your favorite Godzilla movie? Who’s your favorite monster? Chances are you have a quick answer to these questions if you grew up with Godzilla, but what about those of us that are barely starting our radioactive journey? We answer this and more on today’s episode as we kick off our “Godzilla vs Kong” coverage with a good ol’ fashioned Godzilla geek out with new and old fans alike. So wherever you fall on the Godzilla spectrum, we invite you to tag along and talk Godzilla with us, and with nearly 70 years of Godzilla to catch up on, we’ve got plenty to chat about!

    12: “Resident Alien”: The Best New Show You’re Not Watching

    You ever plan on watching a new show, but for one reason or another, you put if off until you eventually forget to watch it altogether? Well, Brain Slug’s here to make sure Syfy’s new show “Resident Alien” isn’t one of them, because it really is one of the best shows out there right now! So boot up those DVRs, pick up the comics, and tag along as we discuss why this show resonates so deeply with us. We also question whether Alan Tudyk is actually an alien living among us or not… we’re pretty sure he is.

    11: “Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous”: We Need More Cartoons Like This

    What do you call a blind dinosaur? What do you call a blind dinosaur’s dog? If either of these iconic dad jokes took you back on some dino- nostalgia fueled trip through memory lane, you’re in luck because today we’re talking Netflix’s “Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous”, the first animated series set within the “Jurassic Park” Cinematic Universe (coining that phrase right now). Take a listen as we break down why we love this show and why we wish more “kid’s cartoons” were given the same level of care in the writing room.

    10: “Wandavision”: What the Heck is Going On? feat. Felipe Rosales

    We hope you like all things Marvel and MCU, because that’s all we’re talking about on this week’s podcast! Join us and returning guest Felipe Rosales as we try to process the gleeful strangeness and dread of “WandaVision” on Disney+, plus plenty of speculation on the overall direction the MCU may be heading post “Avengers: Endgame”.

    9: Air Force One: Why We Need It

    Welcome to a special Presidential Inauguration 2020 edition of The Brain Slug Podcast. With Trump out (thank god) and Joe Biden in, we thought we’d honor what’s sure to be an intense day in the United States by talking about 1997’s “Air Force One” one of our absolute favorite movies over here at Brain Slug, and easily the best presidential film out there. Harrison Ford kicking terrorist ass on a plane. What’s not to love? We hope this episode brings you a bit of levity today as we begin the process of moving past the trauma of the past 4 years and healing together as a country. You know, hopefully.
