Previous Episode

Hot Topics: What If ...? Thor ONLY Son- LIVE WATCH
What If...KMac and Yek wanted a reason to drink beer and watch comic book TV shows. Well, no need to ponder that question any more when you can listen as we slams some good brews while doing a live riff watch of What If... Thor Were an Only Child? (Which totally should’ve been “Thor Only Son”, Hey Disney! DM us to get access to this kind of talent). Why doesn’t rotoscoped Natalie Portman look like Natalie Portman? Why is Volstagg so less Voluminous? Can you spot all the random Marvel refs as well as the inebriated double funking duo of KMac and Yek? Probably. But, we do have way more fun than trading a car for a dead deer head. And as always with live watches, stay tuned to compete in The Gauntlet!
Beers:
KMac: Double Thunder Funk, Bent Water Brewing, Lynn, MA
Style: DIPA, 9.2% ABV
Rating: What If...T’Challa became Starlord? Well, this is interesting...Mmmm I like this.... And the fun time continues.
Yek: Festbier, Tucher Nuremberg and Fürth, Bavaria, Germany
Style: Festbier, 5.8% ABV
Rating: What If...Captain Carter were the first Avenger? It’ll entertain you for 30 minutes.
