Description
The Reluctant Adult Podcast is your weekly reminder that growing up is optional, but buying toys as an adult is mandatory. Hosts Paul and Bill tackle the weird, wonderful world of pop culture, collectibles, and childhood obsessions that somehow got more expensive with age. From action figures to comic cons, they cover it all with the enthusiasm of kids and the disposable income of adults (barely). If your idea of “adulting” is deciding whether to open the box, this show is for you. New episodes drop every week. Follow along and remember—we don’t wanna grow up, but we already did!

Role playing is more fun with Playmates! Finally, a way to play Power Rangers without being one-shotted by a 12-year-old in Fortnite. Plus, Premium NDA. Toy companies are always ready to charge us for pre-orders, but when it comes to shipping updates, suddenly it’s radio silence. Is there time to save Hasbro’s Star Wars Haslab or has that ship already sailed? It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

Mattel’s anaconda don't want none unless you got funds, hun. The Mattel Creations Snake Lair campaign stretches on for another week. Plus, Doop, there it is! Maximum Marvel Legends Deadpool gives collectors the finger! All 50 of’em! And, go ninja, go ninja, go go Power Rangers! The Ninja Kidz kick back with a new official Power Rangers web series.

Haslab, will travel. Hasbro's Star Wars team is hitting the road, touring the nation with their Republic Gunship crowdfunder in tow. Plus, pass the lasagna! Garfield never turns down a meal… or a merch deal. But will these toy companies ship to Abu Dhabi? And Target tears He-Man a new one! Flip-Or’s not going to like this.

Walmart wants to “Spark Your Collection” by flaunting toys you can’t own. Hey, that sounds like every Walmart pre-order! Plus, funding is half the battle. With the G.I. Joe HasLab officially backed, all LAAT/i’s turn to Star Wars collectors. Power Rangers fans are spending V-Bucks as if translating cash into a fictional in-game currency somehow erases the concept of real-world value. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

San Diego’s hottest Hasbro exclusives came and went—leaving collectors with carts as empty as their souls. Plus, can you still call it crowdfunding if no one shows up? The Snow CAT and Republic Gunship are doing their best to dodge a date with Cookie Monster and the Rancor in HasLab limbo. I choo-choo-choose to believe NECA’s Turtles train has gone off the tracks.

With San Diego in the rearview, we break down the winners and losers of Comic Con. Plus, who’s the big guy with the muscles cosplaying as an Autobot? He-Man. He-Man. And, what has four legs and works with a file? Mondo’s Real Ghostbusters Janine, of course! It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

Marvel Legends collectors are collectively crashing out over this new Target exclusive. Turns out the real "Endgame" was surviving retail. This GamerVerse two‑pack has us deep in conspiracy mode: can jet fuel melt Adamantium, and where the hell was Wolverine on 9/11? If Hasbro’s Real Ghostbusters exclusive sparked your Ecto Glow addiction, this toy maker just broke the containment unit wide open. It's The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

The Power Rangers are back and this time, it’s your turn to morph. Forget teenagers with attitude, Disney’s casting for middle-aged and mediocre. Plus, Holey shit! New in-box photos of Playmates’ TMNT 1984 Remastered 6-pack have leaked and trypophobiacs are breathing a sigh of relief. And Todd McFarlane’s dogs are barking! For a guy with a foot fetish so strong it would make Quentin Tarantino blush, McFarlane Toys really fumbled the basic shape of a dog. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

Hasbro’s new Savage Land Marvel Legends Rogue is oddly familiar. Collectors say the sculpt looks less “X-Men” and more “red carpet,” sparking debate over which celebrity just accidentally became an X-Man. Plus, Snow Joe! Hasbro’s hoping their frosty new HasLab, the G.I. Joe Snow Cat, doesn’t put their crowdfunding hot streak on ice. And Jazwares is turning Comic-Con upside down with their exclusive 6-inch Demogorgon action figure from the new Stranger Things line. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

Mattel’s Jurassic World exclusive is already feeling the effects of inflation. And this time, it’s not about the price! Plus, The Simpsons just killed off Marge. That’s horrible! Especially since I had Maggie in the death pool. Tiny Chef canceled and you won’t believe the words that came out of that tiny mouth of his. Also, the police officer vanishes from Hasbro’s G.I. Joe Classified lineup. Let’s see how they like it. And Mattel seems hell-bent on proving fans can see John Cena… by releasing every imaginable version of him as an action figure.

Sun’s out, funds out! TMNT collectors hoping to snag NECA’S SDCC exclusive get burned by extra charges. ROSS Dress for Less wears out its welcome with collectors by charging more than retail for toys we didn’t want in the first place. Super7 repaints G.I. Joes in Tiger Force camo, but they still can’t hide from the clearance aisle. Mattel is teaming up with OpenAI to bring Artificial Intelligence to kids’ toys. Proving once and for all that no one at Mattel has seen Small Soldiers. Long Furby culture is being appropriated for mass consumption and I still can’t buy a Room Guardian at Target. JAKKS helps Simpsons fans scratch that figure itch with new soft and squishy Itchy & Scratchy figures. Not that kind of ‘Squishy’.

Hasbro’s Halloween Star Wars reveal has collectors scratching their heads like, “What is this, Shiz?” Plus, McFarlane Toys is giving ROSS an exclusive Superman figure. Basically the toy equivalent of tipping your garbage man. And Hasbro is Sauron over California with this Comic-Con exclusive Savage Land 3-Pack. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

Hasbro lit up Ghostbusters Day with a tease of more Ecto Glow Ghostbusters, proving once again that when it comes to nostalgia, Hasbro ain’t afraid of no fan service. Plus, AMC is tempting moviegoers with a 17-inch Galactus popcorn bucket. Because if you’re lining up for Fantastic Four, that might be the only head you’re getting. And NECA’s Comic-Con exclusive has the Turtles ready to hang 10. But at this point, maybe it’s time to just hang it up. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

Hasbro’s new Fantastic Four Marvel Legends wants you to stretch your imagination far enough to believe this Mr. Fantastic toy is supposed to look like Pedro Pascal. Plus, if bathing with a space alien isn’t your cup of E.T., then maybe Sydney Sweeney can convince you to grab your rubber ducky and take the plunge. And, Funko unveils a new Ghostbusters 2 Pop! assortment, but will we ever get to splash mommy? It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

You thought the AMC Dune bucket was crazy? Wait until you see what Jurassic World cooked up for their popcorn. Plus, Disney just changed the ending to their live-action Lilo & Stitch—and yep, we’re definitely in the bad place. And E.T. wants to phone home? Nah, he wants to chill in your tub. Lush just made it happen. To alcohol! The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

Son of a Bix. Andor left us craving and-more… but all we’re getting are these silly Jedi… [laughs in Huttese] Plus, Fortnite honors James Earl Jones with an AI Darth Vader—and the internet handles it exactly how you'd expect. If the toys are accurate, James Gunn’s Superman is about to throw down with a yeti like he wandered onto the wrong Christmas special. There is no emoticon for what I am feeling!

This week, we honor the real heroes of Mother’s Day: moms who didn’t throw out our toys when they really, really wanted to. Plus, Andor is back! Because nothing says "fun space adventure" like a 12-episode anxiety attack. And AI is designing new Power Rangers now, which explains why the Red Ranger has three helmets and a toaster for a chest. I learned that beneath my goody two-shoes lie some very dark socks. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

Saying goodbye. Only a few Andor episodes remain, and we’re already mourning the end. Plus, it doesn’t seem real. Mattel’s Jurassic World toys give us our best look yet at the “D-Rex”—and it’s basically a genetic turducken in reptile form. And, our hearts are broken. Just like the hollow chest cavity on Hasbro’s Fire Convoy HasLab. A girl should have her own private diary. I had to share mine with my uncle. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

More fan channel retailers are revealing their master plans for surviving tariffs — and by “master plans” we mean... uh, hey, what's that behind you? Plus, Transformers and the NFL are a perfect fit — no squishy brains to scramble, no problem! And Andor is back, because apparently even our escapism has to remind us how thoroughly we ruined everything. My head full of long, luxurious hippie hair. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.
