And just like that, there's a new podcast episode.
This week Steve and Chris take a look at another sequel series. Sequel series have been sort of a backbone of this podcast. They keep evolving, with the latest being one no one thought would ever happen. And it's good?
Also while she couldn't be on the pod, Chris's wife, a long time Sex and the City fan gives her thoughts to Chris.
All this plus 30 second pitches and crossovers!
They did it again. They stole Steve's mind! Rogers the musical was his idea dammit!
Eventually Steve and Chris put that aside and offer to write the X-Men into the MCU... and also review Episode one of Hawkeye.
Did this show solve Comic Book burnout? or just make it worse?
All this plus 30 second pitches and crossovers!
Anime and Comics, how much more Episode One can you get?
This week Steve and Chris take a look at the Live Action Remake of the classic Anime, Cowboy Bebop. Is it a live action Adaptation that works?
We also look at a rarity, a comic book character neither Steve nor Chris are very familiar with, Hit-Monkey. This is the last of the non MCU Marvel tv adaptations, at this point we've done them all. I think it ends on a bang!
Plus we talk about comics burnout, anime in general, a bunch of other random stuff, and as always, 30 second pitches and cross overs!
To be clear, these are two different shows... Fairfax on Amazon Prime, 4400 on CW.
So we have a trend. Shows named after streets Steve lives by. Hollywood might be getting lazier... but hey we can roll with it.
4400 is a remake of a show Chris sort of liked, sort of hated back in the Aughts. Now it's been updated for the new decade and is on the CW instead of USA. (also the changed the name from "The 4400" to "4400" but yet it's on "The" CW. Interesting.
Fairfax is a spoof on modern tween culture... and it's fun!
All this plus crossovers and 30 second pitches!
Steve is live on the scene of the sinkhole. As we discuss the latest network "event" show, La Brea. imagining a world where LA has a non earthquake related disaster, and maybe there's time travel?
I have to to admit, this show is a bit of a mess, but is it so bad it's good? Let's talk..
We also get distracted by DC Fandome news, most notably the Black Adam teaser. All this plus crossovers and 30 second pitches.
This week we watch two shows with a lot more in common than you'd think.
Despite one being base don a true story, and one based on the iconic indie comic series. Both tap into Politics, the power dynamics between Men and Women, and both are associated with Hulu.
Steve and Chris discuss their memories living through the Impeachment of Bill Clinton and their knowledge of the Y: The Last Man Comic series.
All this, plus Crossovers and 30 second pitches.
Standing Tall!...
So excited for this reboot of Perfect strangers, is Nicole Kidman Balki???
Oh, it's not? Well it's a pretty great miniseries, brought to us by the team of David E. Kelley and Nicole Kidman who did Big Little Lies on HBO.
Watch it, lsiten to us chat. We also discuss The Chair, in a new sponsorship with Ikea we aim to...
Oh, no, it's a show? Sandra Oh? Not Killing Steve? Cool. We discuss this Dramedy about higher education in the modern age.
All this, plus a new game "Will it stay a mini series or get a season two?"
It's finally time, the prophecy fulfilled. We watched Titans, once it was not on the DC Universe app. We predicted it wouldn't work, we predicted HBO Max would supplant it, Swamp Thing fell first, then Stargirl, Doom Patrol, and now Titans.
We also check out the latest MCU show, What If. and a really cool show from Taiki Waititi, Reservation dogs. As a person of Indigenous ancestry, Steve was excited for the representation, but also it's a great show. a 30 minute dramedy about 4 Native American teenagers living on a Reservation in Oklahoma, with dreams of moving to California, check it out on FX on Hulu.
All this plus Crossovers and 30 second pitches.

This week we're going with a little bit of "Now and Then". No not that movie (love you Christina Ricci). We're doing 2 reboots/sequel series and a sort of satire/parody/reimagining?
iCarly is back! (26:00) originally a mid aughts nickelodeon show, it gets the reboot treatment that Hilary Duff failed to get with Lizzie McGuire. Does it succeed, or do we find out why the Lizzie show never happened?
Gossip Girl is back! (47:50) Does it live up to the original? Does it fulfill Steve's cravings for another pretty little liars? Does it inspire Chris to finally finish the original series? Is it still relevant today?
Kevin can F**k himself (4:20) Not so much a now and then, but an inventive dark comedy that takes some influence from the various tropes in Kevin James sitcoms (Kevin can Wait, King of Queens) and some similar sitcoms. It's great and we could have spent an hour talking about it. Just go watch it.
All this and 30 second pitches, cross overs and a long long pod!!!
