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!

Plus, is the collectibles bubble about to Pop? Funko admits their days may be numbered lower than a Comic-Con exclusive. And, the Power Ranges and Godzilla team up for what may be the most logical crossover since Alien vs. Predator. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

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.

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.
