Imagine a world where today's top brands were dethroned by their competitors. WCW destroys WWE, Turbo Grafx 16 defeats Super Nintendo, Disney's The Black Hole dominates Lucas' Star Wars. Adam and Mike bring forth convincing arguments about why spin-off brands and competitors should be top tier items. All this is in the name of comedy, but long the way. you can learn about the more obscure products that faced off against the giants.

Adam and Mike spend a good hour of your time telling you why turkey is a gentle, humble, and loving meat, while ham is the reason our economy is in the gutter. We give some much-needed love to the iconic Thanksgiving food. Join us and laugh at our horrible holiday explanations.
Adam and I vent about the premature selling of Christmas and how Thanksgiving trumps the holiday. We shame Santa, glorify mash potatoes, and talk about that one kid who brags about his rich family Christmas.
In this wrestling show, we talk about WWE's favorite squash match wrestler and compare him to an underground/indy wrestler who dominates with martial arts and pure intensity. We get into WWE video games and Mike has so much heat to give. Sit down and grab a YES! YES! YES!
Do your games diagnose you with dementia when you lose? How about force you to read an encyclopedia to win? How about a game that is ruined by a mini-game? Adam and Mike talk about the ten games they believe should be heralded as good and yet frustratingly hard to play. Join us as we talk about Brain Age, Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego, and Nightmare Creatures-quite possibly reasons to hate video games.
The Umbrella Academy came on Netflix in 2019. It got 45 million watchers. Now we want to bring it against the granddaddy of all family team-ups--The X-Men. Adam and Mike explain the hit show and how it compares to the #1 superhero community of all time. We also come to the conclusion that you cannot own an old mansion without fighting the Soviets or Nazis. In this episode, we gush about Klaus and Number 5, while explaining that Magneto has a way better PR team than Xavier. Come join us.
Mike and Adam talk about the greatest cartoons of our childhood in an attempt to shed some light on good shows that don't involve a sponge. Whether it's Freakazoid or Danny Phantom, we talk about the animated classics that need just as much appreciation as the yellow square.
It's criminal that these songs have not been considered, but Adam and Mike make the best case adding these 10 songs to the next Guitar Hero or Rock Band game. Where does Weird Al fit into all of this and why is Death Cab for Cutie so underutilized? We answer those questions.
In our season 1 finale, Adam and Mike give fiery appeals as to why you should choose Marvel and/or DC. Mike defends Marvel with a childlike innocence, while Adam gives gritty reasons to follow DC. This is the definitive battle for every fanboy who has a preference. We look at the facts. Join us as we close this season with the ultimate battle.
Get your pokeballs and monster steaks because Adam and Mike are monster capturing. We look at Square Enix's Dragon Quest Monster series, which featured beautiful graphics and fighting. We look into Pokemon's 95 billion property and why it succeeds. Stick to the end because Fight Club's Tyler Durden gives a pep talk to Ash Ketchum.
Well...we didn't include Lois Lane or MJ, but the ten women/men we came up with prove that superheroes are nothing without these supporting side characters. They act as the moral compass, the comic relief, and the soul of our favorite characters. Enjoy or podcast as Mike and Adam explain comic's most underrated women (and one man). From Ninja Turtles to Full Metal Alchemist, we cover the greatest.
Caution: This podcast has little to do with the love of football and the stats that make it a great game. This podcast is...
1. Reasons Vince McMahon is insane
2. Some wild facts about XFL
3. A sport we invented that involves large quantities of mean and weapons

Almost 2 hours of talk on first-person shooters from the late 90s to early 2010s. Adam and I share our ten favorite sci-fi shooters that need to be on PS5 and Xbox X. Unfortunately, no one listens to us so that won't happen soon. We start the episode with a special clip from Master Chief's and Samus' blind date.

Sword and sorcery, might and magic, wizardry, and wands. J.K. Rowling made bank on all these things. BUT...in today's episode we tell you about 10 book series that you ABSOLUTELY need to read and love. These little literary gems are just as good. Here is the list:

Autobots roll out! Transformers is an icon of boyhood in the 80s. Hasbro has turned this goldmine into a comic, video game, and movie. Along comes Beast Wars, a spin-off series and we think it's just as good as the original toy. Join us as we shed light on the 1996 masterpiece which turned rock awesome animals into rock awesome robots. Also, what is up with those movies and why is Canada so important to this episode?

Our episode starts off with Adam and Mike in an alternate dimension where the Steam X 5 console has just come out.
Then Mike and Adam talk about ten overrated games that need some light and love shone on them. These games include

- Kerbal Space Program
- Rock of Ages
- Left 4 Dead 2
- The Deadly Tower of Monsters
- Star Wars Republic Commando

What if the Champion of Light, the Princess of Power, had more spotlight than her twin brother? Adam and Mike investigate why She-Ra is a better horse to back than He-Man.

Join Adam and Mike as we explore the 2003 underrated gem of LOEG, starring Sir Sean Connery. What would culture be like if this movie became Disney's universe? Also, Avengers borrows a few things from LOEG in their movie, thus proving that LOEG has more standing than anyone thought. Plus, there is a fun little sketch we do at the end where we envision an alternate world where LOEG is far better than Avengers. Join us.
