Thumb War

New Patreon episode is up, and this one goes fully off the rails.

Subscribe to our Patreon account for the full episode!  http://bit.ly/44Mo8xU

We start with Jason’s new life as a five-milligram gummy guy, somehow turn rehab into a vacation fantasy, revisit Rachel’s hospital bed-rest era, and then get into a bunch of quick recommendations: Toy Story 5, Sisu: Road to Revenge, Widow’s Bay, The Death of Robin Hood, and the Russell Crowe Robin Hood that might deserve another look.

Then it’s Patreon AMA time, featuring 90s celebrity crushes, Angelina Jolie in Hackers, Sporty Spice, Valerie Perrine, a very heated ranking of 90s hotties, and Rachel’s extremely firm stance that greeting cards are basically garbage.

Bonus chaos, extra movie talk, and questionable life advice — now on Patreon.

SPOILER WARNING

The new Supergirl movie had everything we wanted on paper: Milly Alcock as a more broken, bitter Kara Zor-El, a fresh contrast to Superman’s optimism, Krypto the Superdog, Jason Momoa as Lobo, and a chance to keep the new DC Universe momentum going after James Gunn’s Superman.

Unfortunately… we did not love this one.

In this spoiler-heavy Supergirl movie review, we break down why the movie felt more like DC’s Babysitters Club than a bold new superhero adventure, why Kara’s “punk rock” attitude never quite lands, why the Ruthie revenge plot feels weirdly underwritten, and why the movie’s feminist ideas feel more like random ingredients thrown into a blender than an actual story.

We also get into the Krypto problem, the Jason Momoa/Lobo cameo, the discourse around whether Supergirl is bombing because of misogyny, the bizarre ending, the comparisons to Guardians of the Galaxy, Mad Max: Fury Road, and Superman, and whether this movie hurts our excitement for the future of the DCU.

Did Supergirl deserve better? Absolutely.
Did this movie deliver? Not for us.

Spoilers, obviously. Dragons, definitely. Sensible decisions? Not so much.

House of the Dragon Season 3, Episode 2 gave us grief, dragons, snot, Shakespearean drama, Aemond chaos, Daemon’s terrible management style, and ravens apparently running on 5G.

We’re breaking down the whole episode — Rhaenyra’s spiral, Aemond at Harrenhal, Larys and Aegon, Alice Rivers, Corlys’ family mess, and whether the show is pushing Rhaenyra toward full Mad Queen territory.

Watch/listen now.

Jason and Rachel are back in Westeros for a spoiler-filled recap and review of House of the Dragon Season 3, Episode 1.

The premiere picks up with the Dance of Dragons fully igniting: the Battle of the Gullet, Jace making reckless choices, Rhaenyra being sidelined, Baela and Rhaena facing dragon-sized consequences, Criston Cole seeing the true horror of the war, Aegon and Larys fleeing King’s Landing, and Aemond becoming even more unsettling.

We talk Team Black, Team Green, Winter Wolves, Sheepstealer, Alicent, Daemon, the Hightowers, Targaryen dysfunction, and why this episode’s main lesson is that young people should maybe not be allowed to make war decisions.

Spoilers for Disclosure Day.

Jason and Rachel review Disclosure Day, Steven Spielberg’s new alien movie starring Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colman Domingo, Colin Firth, and Wyatt Russell.

There are things to like here: Emily Blunt is great, Colman Domingo remains a human weighted blanket, and a few sequences feel like vintage Spielberg. But the movie’s big alien reveal, TV station climax, confusing character logic, and “world peace / just listen” ending left us deeply frustrated.

We talk Close Encounters comparisons, little green men, thumb drives, World War III, invisible fire trucks, AI-era skepticism, David Koepp, Spielberg nostalgia, and why Disclosure Day ends up as a disappointed thumbs down.
