It’s almost Halloween so you know the schedule is out of whack this week. Regardless, the boys are back in studio, and it’s a wild one from the jump. Ice gives away his blood for reasons unknown… and he’s ok with it? (Of course, when the alternative is a 12th Trunk Or Treat in a row, a little bloodshed doesn’t sound so bad.) The Chairman also reviews Agatha All Along series on Disney+, before joining the rest of the guys in reacting to the news about Tom Holland and Spider-Man 4. Of course, it ain’t a show without some gambling talk, as the guys offer their Week 8 NFL winners. Finally, the boys close with a ‘dusting’ of controversy on the local pizza front. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

The guys finally reach the end of a wild first season of X-Men ’97. Whether the finale lives up to the hype is another story. The boys provide a full recap of the final clash between Xavier’s X-Men, Mags, and Big Bad Bastion, while warily looking into the X-future. The fate of the mutants wasn’t the only MCU headline this week, as rumors about the Agatha Harkness show (specifically its title) began to circulate. There’s also a bit of pro basketball talk to whet your sports whistle. So put on your best draft day hat, summon the dark phoenix from within, and enjoy. (Just make sure your mom isn’t stuck researching spiders in the Amazon.) --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

For the first time in a long time, the boys are back in Studio A! On this momentous occasion, the Iceman and JJ brought snacks and beverages to sample on the show. Logically, the conversation devolves into a heated debate about proper expectations at fast casual restaurants. All three hosts finally get around to sharing their thoughts about XMen '97 (with a few spoilers sprinkled in along the way). And after all is said and done, AJ gives his final report on the Road to Wrestlemania, on the eve of the marathon weekend. Grab a sweet treat and have a listen…just not TOO SWEET. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

Wild one this week with Thanksgiving around the corner. The boys start the holiday feasting a little early. But before they can savor the flavor, Ice pays a hefty price for his most recent sins. Elsewhere, JJ conjures up a new hobby and a new gimmick to annoy us with. But just as the outrage hits its peak, the guys decide to challenge each other instead. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

AJ’s low energy this week, and Jack's Just Jack, but the Iceman has more than enough juice after his trip to the Big Apple. The way he describes it, there were more hits than misses, which is more than we can say about the Chairman’s football picks this year. Nonetheless, JJ gives a status update on all bets through four weeks, and the results are probably what you’d expect at this point. Speaking of sports, it’s a big weekend for combat sports and yet, the boys aren’t quite sure how jazzed they should be. Perhaps if they DO manage to lay eyes on Tyson-Paul or Jones-Miocic, the guys will be posting all about it on Bluesky. Assemble your crew, and listen responsibly. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

Amidst the political turmoil, the boys try to cope the best way they know how: with lightly carbonated booze and a look at the magic box. But first, Ice and AJ recap their unplanned night out, complete with cold pints of Guinness and bad karaoke. On Election Night, AJ and JJ took in some family-friendly TV, as they review Transformers One and Agatha All Along respectively. For some more mature fare, AJ gives his thoughts on The Substance, starring Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley. Once they’re out of shiny new things to enjoy, the guys try to reckon with the political abyss that awaits in the not too distant future. Finally, the boys close it out with some brief Commanders talk, as well as their Week 10 football picks that’ll surely test your bankroll (if not your patience). --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

Really fun, football-centric episode this week. But before the guys can get to all the sports, they have to mukbang the hell out of the viral mango ice cream popping up from coast to coast. From there, it's a full blown breakdown of Bears & Commanders, to include: the prelude (featuring online vitriol), to the viewing experience (not featuring JJ), "the play", and the SUBSTANTIAL aftermath. All that, plus more bad gambling tips from the middest bettors in the game. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

If it feels like it’s been a month of Sundays since the last BS mukbang, that’s because it has been. To that end, the guys take the new Chicken Big Mac for a spin (and their responses may surprise you). The boys also give the new Oreo Coke Zero a taste but the apparent lack of a full sugar version leaves the boys with more questions than answers. Elsewhere, there are more than few controversies popping up in NFL, and the guys are here for it. Lastly, the BS boys sink their teeth into the chaos surrounding Simu Liu and the ‘new and improved’ Bobba drink setting the internet ablaze. Get yourself a sugary mystery drink and have fun with one. It’s a doozy. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

On the heels of a collective no-show, the boys are back for another season… but just barely. Ice nurses his wounds Jinro-style, JJ counts down the minutes until he can go fishing again, and AJ battles the Florida flu (again). There’s still a LOT of positive energy around the Commanders, and the boys are not quite sure how to handle it. Fortunately, a certain Final Boss is back to keep the guys distracted, at least for a little while. Combine that with the fiery wreckage that is Joker Folie a Deux, sprinkle on a little New York Jets calamity, and you got ourselves a par-tay. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

This week, AJ returns while the Iceman barely hangs on. You'd think the excitement from a Commanders' Monday night win would be enough to reinvigorate him but in this instance, you'd be wrong. Nonetheless, the boys take the time to gush over an impressive (if unexpected) performance from JD5 & the 'Manders in Cincy. It's so enthralling that the boys begin kicking around the idea of a second tailgate at the revered NW Stadium. There's more wistful football conjecture outside of the pro realms as well (#GoDukes #marylandfootball). Elsewhere, the guys review the new Thunderbolts trailer before going hard at the new Vince McMahon documentary currently airing on Netflix. It's crazy enough to make you wanna toss out your old Airpods and start fresh with something (marginally) new. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

AJ is noticeably absent while JJ and the Iceman recap the group's long awaited outing at Northwest Stadium and watching the Washington Commanders. No LVPs were named but a new "That Guy" was annointed. The Iceman and JJ discuss Apple's Glowstick event and what this means for Apple and its devices moving forward. Finally, the boys discuss the entertainment happenings of the day and try to talk about Diddy's arrest but were adorably interrupted by JJ's dog. This episode is worth a listen if you can stomach interruptions and sports talk. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

It’s fortuitous that after last week’s unfortunate Beetlejuice reveal, Ice is on the shelf and AJ has a full blown review of the sequel to the 1988 classic. (It’s relatively spoiler free but there are tidbits so consider yourself warned.) The boys go down a pretty steep football rabbit hole but with all that happened in week 1 (i.e. arrests, debuts, and burner accounts), can you really blame them? From there, things take a bit of a somber turn, as the boys close with tributes to James Earl Jones and Frankie Beverly, and a few thoughts on the newly reconfigured Linkin Park. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

This one is a gong show from start to finish. AJ pays for his sins from last week, with a little assist from ol’ Uncle Phil. Ice tries to get defrauded on the internet (not once, not twice, but thrice). He also reaffirms his auspicious taste in film, as he reviews IT ENDS WITH US. Speaking of movies, JJ gives an update on his family’s journey through the Fast & Furious franchise, sparking a heated debate on where the movies rank from 10 to 1. There’s a little Topgolf and Keith Lee talk thrown in there as well but honestly, this might be a Mälort / Fast & Furious podcast now. Plan accordingly. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

AJ is obviously still on beach time, as he mangles the audio recording the same way the Iceman mangles his eggs. That aside, it’s a fun one, as the boys look back wistfully on the week that was in OBX. There’s a LOT of recapping on the booze that was drank and the booze that wasn’t. There’s a lot of idle talk about sobriety and very little follow through. Hell, there’s even the election of a beach MVP and a beach LVP. Of course, it’s all fun and games until the focus turns to the Fast & Furious films and the suddenly fledgling Star Wars Cinematic Universe. Have a drink, take a chill pill, and just keep stabbin’. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

BEACH SHOW! Featuring Olympic talk, a new gimmick for Jack, drinks in the morning, drinks on the links, and even more drinks. (Seriously, this one's a blur. Chase this episode with electrolytes.) --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

It’s a wild one as the boys gear up for their upcoming beach trip. While JJ and Ice plan for beach time fun, AJ just wants everyone out of handcuffs and away from calamity. Speaking of calamity, the boys chat about Elon Musk’s growing list of fledgling businesses. From a loss-leading Twitter platform with shadow bans to shoddily built EVs with phony mileage, the headlines are so bad even the Iceman is losing confidence. Somehow, even as the Paris Olympics wind down, the guys are still as invested as ever. They preview the track and field finals and ponder if Alexandria's Noah Lyles was ever a district rival. (Spoiler: he was not.) So pin a number on your chest, press play, and run until your torso crosses the tape. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

This week, AJ celebrates another year around the sun with some fried foods and funky wines. There's also a little discussion about a sports event emanating out of Paris this year. Somehow, all of that is overshadowed by the opening of Deadpool and Wolverine, and the boys giddily spoil it all. So brush up on your dance moves, put on your white pants, and nerd out with your pals. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

AJ is back from Germany, and he's loaded with gummy bears and jetlag. (Thanks Crowdstrike.) The boys look ahead to their upcoming trip to OBX and quickly realize they may be in over their heads. Of course, it ain't summer without the MCU so the guys lock in their plans for the Deadpool 3 premiere. But the fun movie talk quickly comes to a halt when Ice gives a status report of his infamous list of must-see movies. Don't lay an egg... have yourself a listen. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

With AJ off handling some serious biznaz, your dudes JJ (the New Moderator) and the Iceman have got you covered for the 300th episode. They dive into all things adulting—think family trips, lawn care disasters, and eye health updates that'll have you questioning your future. If that wasn’t enough, they spill the tea on Tiger Woods' latest drama, review Shogun, question Ingrid Andress' Star-Spangled Banner debacle, and dissect the red guy in the Captain America trailer.

Ice makes his triumphant return this week. But before he can take a victory lap, he's greeted with a Chicago Penalty Shot and a harsh dose of reality. After the Mälort wears off, Ice gives his review of the JT concert, along with a sneak peak at what the boys can expect when the Batcave 2.0 is unveiled. But just when you think it can't get worse, Ice makes a shocking admission about cinema that damn near stops the show cold (literally). There's some chatter about movie trailers and NBA rights deals but if you're a movie lover, you might want to listen to this one fully seated. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support
