Scaramouche? Galileo? Beelzebub? We grapple with the disappointing Bohemian Rhapsody this week on the podcast and try to make sense of what went wrong and why this couldn’t have just been a movie about Freddie Mercury and Bowie creating “Under Pressure.” Special thanks to Elliot Campos for joining us this week and providing – once again – an excellent breakdown worthy of Queen itself.
We talk burnout, clinginess, one-sided friendships and even pizza in today’s episode. Enjoy!

This week on the glorious Venture Bros: A Venture Brothers Podcast Bryan Dressel, Nick “The Penguin” Friedemann, and Graham “Stargirl” Mason talk about HANDSOME RANSOM!! We’re introduced to Captain Sunshine and his arc with Hank, which in true Venture Bros fashion approaches that “offensive” line, and does a little jig on it. A very fun episode whose A-story and B-story don’t mesh nearly as well as they should.
You know what zombie films could use? Christmas and musical numbers. That’s what we’ve got with this week’s movie ANNA AND THE APOCALYPSE. Friend of the show Makaela Newsome joins us to talk about this fun, if flawed film. A good time all around, and one we have a heck of a time discussing. Come on by and give it a listen, but don’t forget your zombie-slaying implements.
“It’s time to jump the shark” with this week’s episode of Venture Bros. Bryan Dressel, Nicholas “Catwoman” Friedemann, Graham “Red Hood and the Outlaws” Mason, and Matt “Hellblazer” Dykes bring in the super nuts season four premiere.
This week on the podcast we take on Roma, Alfonso Cuaron’s Oscar contender (and winner for Best Director, Best Cinematography, and Best Foreign Language Film) that has us wondering if we even saw the same movie. Graham Mason joins us to go over why it wasn’t as impressive as the hype would lead you to believe. There are some great moments in here, but they’re hidden within many a baffling choice.
Toxic families, panic attacks, and soul mates have everyone hot and bothered this week. Take a listen to see what Sam and Middle Earth have to say!

Anyone who has ever listened to my podcast or read any of my work knows I’m very critical of Marvel. I feel that too many people grant them a pass on all their problems and grade on a curve. When movies like “Ant-Man and the Wasp” are getting 7s and 8s out of 10, I feel like I missed a round of kool-aid. Not saying that it was a bad film at all; it was a blast. Was it Captain Marvel? Absolutely not. Captain Marvel is exactly the movie I wanted and avoids nearly all the pitfalls I was afraid of. I haven’t been this impressed with a Marvel outing since the first Avengers.

Hi! You’ve reached the two-part finale of Venture Bros Season Three: The Family That Slays Together, Stays Together. And what a ride it has been! Bryan Dressel is joined on this jam-packed, extra long episode by Nicholas “Ackee” Friedemann, Graham “Mangosteen” Mason, and Matt “Miracle Fruit” Dykes. Stay tuned to the very end of the episode for a special appearance from Brok Holliday, who takes us through his thoughts on the finale as well. A great episode, but “yer not gonna like looking for the keys!”
Television as a medium has become the place to tell long-running stories and translate novels into a visual medium, but it wasn’t always that way. For the majority of its life, television was the place for simple, self-contained episodes that were easy to jump into at any point without knowing what happened before. There were several shows that broke new ground in the way television works, but none so game-changing as Babylon 5, a creation from the mind of J. Michael Straczynski that would change in how audiences watched TV.
