Yes, it's already February and we're just now wrapping up 2022. But at least it's a fat episode for you all! Derek is joined by Robert Bexar ( A Toy Kinda Mood) and Burger Lord Greg Mucino to give their top picks of the small screen.

When the highest grossing film of all time makes a sequel it might as well be a requirement to record an episode about it! Derek and Bobby Bexar (A Toy Kinda Mood) take the trip to Pandora again and have quite a lenghty discussion to go over the three hour plus blockbuster.

Derek is joined by Bobby Bexar from A Toy Kinda Mood on the show to talk about the pop culture bonanza that was New York Comic Con 2022. The big reunion panels, new shows and movies, celebrities, cosplay, and that Massive Artist's Alley! It's a long episode but we tried to cover it all. Enjoy all you Fanboys and Fangirls!…

Wrapping up the Lumpia Movie series with Part 3: creator/writer/director/ Patricio Ginelsa! Pat takes us down the timeline of the birth of the Deep Fried Universe.

It's the second part of our Lumpia Movie Week (month) series! Derek sits down with artist Gerald Pilare to talk about being a storyboard artist for the film, working on the Lumpia comics, and his secret love of robots.

Lumpia with a Vengeance is the independant action film that has been created, written, and performed by an entire Filipino-American ensemble. In Part One of this series Derek sits down with father and son duo Lawrence & Diego Iriarte to discuss working on the film, their love of comic books/ film, and what it's like sharing the same goals of being …

It is summertime and that brings the heat plus Con Season. We made our trip back to the original mothership that is SDCC 2022! Derek is joined by Bobby Bexar from A Toy Kinda Mood and the Burger Lord, Greg Mucino to give their take on four (and a half) days of the Geektastic Wonderland. We dive into panels, offsites, signings, comics, toys, and emb…

With SDCC upon us what a perfect time to look back on all the fun we had at Wondercon 2022! Derek is joined by Ana Mendoza as they reminisce about all their favorite highlights from the convention and how great it was to be back in Anaheim. Plus we add a bonus segment of Derek and Ana's appearance on The Stuff & Junk Show. And if that's not quite e…

We've always been late with our DC film reviews so why would things change any in the P.M. era?! Derek is joined by three of Gotham City's finest: Ana Mendoza, Greg Mucino, and Jason Avalos to weigh in on the three hour epic movie.

We are BACK! This is the first show in the new time era of P.M. (Post-Myke) so I had to bring in some solid folks to begin our next phase of TGF. Ana Mendoza and Greg Mucino joined to share their thoughts on HBO's Euphoria Season 2. This is a spoiler filled review so if you haven't seen Euphoria stop at (23:40) but jump back in at (1:01:45). We tal…

A little over eight years to the day we started it is time to say goodbye to one half of the founding members of the podcast - it's Myke's last episode and all we do is reminsice about starting the podcast, our favorite memories and guests, and where Derek is going to go from here! Don't worry though, Myke will eventually come back as a guest - and…

Great friend of the pod Albert recently had Derek on The Stuff and Junk show to talk about this year's Comic Con Special Edition - featuring our other great friend Ana from PopPrismPower. Albert so graciously allowed us to cross-post the episode on this feed so our subscribers don't miss it! As always, listen to The Stuff and Junk show wherever you…

Yeesh, if you think the episode title was a mouthful, wait until you hear the episode! But in a good way! In Myke's penultimate episode we wanted to catch up with all our favorite guests who haven't been on in awhile and see what they've been watching, reading, and playing in general! It's a round robin conference call with people who've been with …

In honor of this year's Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month we had the honor of talking to TWO amazing Filipino artists in the fields of illustration, graphic design, and more! Since we can't go to Artist's Alley at SDCC, or any other con, for awhile - we decided to bring it to you! We sat down with Patrick Ballesteros to talk about his …

There couldn't be a more appropriate movie for the last DC Boys appearance on this version of the podcast than Zack Snyder's Justice League. DJ, James, and Gabe return to tackle The Snyder Cut in its full form, beat by beat, chapter by chapter. We actually go into so many tangents, there isn't really the threat of any real spoilers, not that you ha…

While Zack Snyder has just delivered his cut of 'Justice League' this weekend, we decided to spare ourselves 2 more hours (for now - we will be doing a ZS JL episode in the future) and check out Benedict Cumberbatch delivering film of his own - as a businessman turn spy in his new film 'The Courier'. We get into how this differs from a lot of other…

After our heroes' zany antics with the dastardly villain Thanos, Wanda and Vision find themselves in the most unlikely place - our television sets! Comic book fan, artist, writer, and old geek friend Guy Copes join us to recap the madcap antics of the soon to be Scarlet Witch. Listeners beware, spoilers abound as we break down how most of the fan t…

...or how to survive a pandemic as a geek. Even though we didn't get to see half of the movies promised to us in 2020, we did end up watching a lot of television! It wouldn't be a 2020 wrap up episode if we didn't get into the random binges that we got into during the pandemic, and whatever else we did to fill the time being stuck inside (more than…

Through an unprecedented rift in the major motion picture studio system, we were able to transport back into the DCEU during a global pandemic in order to catch up with Diana Prince in Wonder Woman 1984, which was mostly cool because it gave us a chance to reunite with our Metasquid Studios bros, the DC Boys! Gabe, DJ, and James return to navigate …

In an episode that was a long time coming, we finally get to sit down with the founders of the Pod Clubhouse, Paul Daley and Caroline Kupstas Daley to talk about meeting Derek at the ATX Festival, starting a podcast to save their family, and the television that really got them into television media. We hear about them raising children with special …

It's good to know that even a pandemic can't stop a certain Mandalorian from his quest to deliver a certain Child to the sorcerer's known as the Jedi, because it was almost a year without a Marvel and/or a Star War! Greg Mucino and Lance Paul return to show to talk about the adventures of Grogu and his metal dad! Most specifically we wax poetic abo…

What better way to distract yourself from the current events than by listening to us talk about the newest political courtroom drama from Aaron Sorkin, The Trial of the Chicago 7. In a movie that no way mirrors the exact issues we're going through right now, Robert Bexar joins us to talk about the themes of this newest effort from the guy who broug…

A real life pandemic was apparently not enough to derail the release of the sequel to the cult-favorite Korean horror-action zombie flick Train to Busan: Peninsula so we decided to brave the outbreak in order to watch another one! Not only that, but in preparation Derek and our guest watched the original Train to Busan for the first time (finally)!…

Although there isn't going to be a DC movie out for awhile (if those rumors about Wonder Woman being pushed back are to be believed), DC made a big enough splash in the news with their huge media event DC Fandome that happened a week after an unfortunate round of layoffs. It was a one two punch that made us reach out to our DC Boys from Metasquid S…

It's a Gareth Evans triple feature! Earlier this year the acclaimed action director made his television series showrunner and directorial debut with the hit Sky Atlantic show 'Gangs of London' (which will premiere in the US on October 1st) and Derek was hooked from the very beginning! After much prodding he finally got Myke to check out the show. I…
