In this episode, Doolin and Keith dive deep into the Terminator franchise to figure out where it all went right… and where it went catastrophically wrong.From the legendary heights of T1 and Judgment Day, to the… let’s call them “creative choices” of the later films, the guys break down every timeline twist, reboot attempt, and metallic meltdown the series has thrown at us.

In today’s episode of Zumundo, Doolin is joined by special guest co-host Matt from That’s Fair Podcasting for a deep dive into one of the greatest video games ever made: Baldur’s Gate 3.From the moment Larian Studios dropped this masterpiece onto our PCs and consoles, it completely rewired our brains. Romances, questionable moral choices, exploding barrels, and more accidental party wipes than either of us want to admit.#dungeonsanddragons #dnd #baldursgate3 #bg3

Today, Doolin is joined by special guest co-host Matthew Cotts from That’s Fair Podcasting to dive into the frosty, dragon-shouting, cheese-wheel-hoarding world of Skyrim, one of the greatest video games ever made.They’re diving into the mods; the glorious, chaotic, game-breaking, game-saving mods that have kept Skyrim alive for over a decade. From stunning graphical overhauls to Thomas the Tank Engine dragons (why does that exist??), Doolin and Matt swap stories about the tweaks, hacks, and downloads that turned their adventures into pure, unforgettable madness.If you’ve ever spent more time modding Skyrim than actually playing Skyrim, this episode is for you.

Superhero movies used to be the biggest event in pop culture. It was a cultural "you-had-to-be-there" cinematic holiday we all marked on our calendars. In the 2010s, getting your friends and heading off the see the latest MCU installment, sitting through the end credits was a vibe. But somewhere between the endless multiverses, the rotating Batmen, and the post-credit scenes that tease yet another Phase, the magic started to… fade.This week on Zumundo!, Doolin and Keith dive into the growing cultural burnout surrounding superhero films. Are we finally hitting the saturation point? Are studios recycling the same stories? Or have audiences simply changed?Together, this dynamic duo of cinema talk about what was great, and why it just isn't working anymore.

In which Doolin & Keith do a deep dive into the movies everyone loves that we can’t stand… and the ones everyone hates that we’ll go down defending.No popular opinion is safe. Come at us, bro. Tune in, get mad, or maybe agree (we doubt it). 

In today’s episode of Zumundo, Keith and Doolin dive deep into the critically successful, culturally unstoppable world of Dungeons & Dragons! From its humble beginnings in the 1970s to its explosive mainstream comeback, D&D has gone from being the misunderstood pastime of basement dwellers to the creative cornerstone of modern geekdom.The guys explore how this once-niche tabletop game grew into a global phenomenon, inspiring smash hits like Critical Role, Baldur’s Gate 3, and even the big screen adventure Honor Among Thieves. Along the way, they roll back the clock to the ’90s to share stories from their own days of AD&D, character sheets, pizza fueled marathons, and dice superstitions that still live on today.

He’s baaaack! Keith returns to Zumundo! and slides right back into the co-host chair with Doolin to talk about the great extinction of physical media. Together, they ask the burning question: how did we go from Friday night video rentals to endless scrolling on streaming apps?The duo rewinds time to the golden age of Blockbuster, shelves full of DVDs and game cartridges, and the magic of blowing into a Nintendo cartridge to make it work. Then, they fast-forward to the streaming wars, subscription fatigue, and the strange new world of “owning nothing but watching everything.”Grab your popcorn, adjust your tracking, and settle in for a nostalgia trip that’s part history lesson, part therapy session, and all Zumundo.

In which Doolin and Greg venture into the foggy forests and murky waters of cryptid lore to share their favorite mysterious creatures. But beyond the footprints and folklore, they ask the deeper question: why do these creatures fascinate us so much? Do they represent something we’ve lost? A connection to the unknown, or to nature itself? Along the way, Greg confronts his eight-legged fears head-on, proving that sometimes the real monsters are the ones with too many eyes.Because believing in cryptids isn’t just about chasing myths… it’s about finding the wonder that still hides in the dark.

In which Doolin and Greg dive into the newly released trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu, and they’re not pulling any punches. What exactly is Lucasfilm doing here? The duo debates whether the galaxy far, far away has lost its magic, how the franchise has strayed from its roots, and why this upcoming movie might not be the redemption story the franchise is hoping for. It's corporate course corrections and creative confusion. It’s a good, hard look at the current state of Star Wars.Because when it comes to that galaxy far far away, this just isn’t the way.
