Robb surprises Monty with an ask: Who is your Stand-Up Comedy heroes? The Mt. Rushmore of Stand-Ups according to one, silly man.

The inventor of the Summer Blockbuster? One of the most culturally relevant auteur in film? Guy who roasts Nazis? Little Stevey Spielberg gets his own tournament, and boy howdy do we get almost everything wrong.

Listener suggested! We cross the goal line and score a home dunk with this triple crown winner of a match! Nothing is left on the pitch and we sink the 9 ball in the corner basket!
He we did a Facebook live discussion about those black clad assassins from Japan. We tossed the shurikens around before throwing down a pepper filled egg shell and made our escape.

We tear through the sweet 16, making tough choices and no doubt raising more ire with the listeners. Will DC be shut out of the final 4? Will we manage to piss everyone else off? Is Wakanda forever?

First of all, get out and vote! Second of all, since we've been living in a satire of our country for 4 years we thought we'd look at Fictional Presidents.

Creators- weather they be writers, directors or artists develop strong fandoms and followings. Some deserve and some don't. In this episode we bounce around a few names of folks that have a lot of fans, but in our minds they aint that great.
So in the comics, Superman is revealing his Secret Identity... It's a big deal...or is it? Are Secret Identities more trouble than they're worth? Should we even care? Who has a secret Identity that even matters anymore?
Robb, thinks Springing Saturday Night Live on Monty is a good idea. Monty has no preparation, just 44 years of die hard fandom. There is a lot of talk about thing that make the show great and the newer shows harder than the older ones.

Big beefy slabs of man meat or furries... that's what we're debating today. The 80s were a hey day of Action-figure and we're talking about which toy-line was better- He-Man and the Masters of the Universe or the Thundercats. Monty didn't really play with either, leas none he owned, so Robb might have a chance. Also Monty nearly chokes to death and eats a pizza this is a BIG episode!

Wowza, this is a big one- we look back at the Marvel Way and debate who had the biggest hand in creation of those classic 60s stories. Is it the writer or the artist? We're using the legends Stan Lee and Jack Kirby as our pinnacles to debate this one.
Remember when Reagan was in the White House, Heroes never got hurt, and they never ran out of bullets? The 80's were a magical time, filled with one-liners and oiled biceps. When a thick German Accent meant you were America's top Commando and Arm-wrestling Truck Drivers could fight for custody through a Las Vegas Championship. On this one we argue who was the best of the 80's Action heroes. Schwarzenegger or Stallone.
