Is that a Pym tech arrow flying by or just a glitch in the Matrix? Don't let the revelations or the resurrections of the past year slow you down as you make your way to the ball drop and the change of the year to 2022! Whether your life has been Encanto-fied or you need a new perspective, it's a whole new year waiting for you today!

So this is Christm... wait, no, we're past Christmas and ready for the ball to drop as the boys ring in 2022! The past year has both felt like its flown by AND been the longest three years ever, but that means that there is plenty of pop culture to dish about at our round table. Kicking the episode off is BeeJay's review of the new Disney animated film, Encanto! From its loveable characters (even the ones you don't talk about) to the melodious soundtrack by Lin Manuel Miranda to Alan Tudyk's role as a bird (because of course he's a bird), you'll find out what made this film so enchanting to our boys. From there the conversation turns to the digital when Erik changes his code and dives into The Wachowski's latest installment to The Matrix trilio... wait... there can't be four films in a trilogy... until NOW! The boys dish on The Matrix Resurrections and if it lives up to its predecessors, if it's worth the hype, and if the Catrix might have been a better fit. After that, Pat takes you to the planet Eternia for the Kevin Smith helmed continuation of Masters of the Universe: Revelations. Can a show where (spoiler alert!) He-Man is killed in the first episode live up to the expectations thrust upon it like the Sword of Power? Listen in to find out! After a brief pause for station identification, Bryan rounds out the month in pop culture with a deep dive into the world of Hawk Guy... nope, that can't be right. Oh, it's Hawkeye! Marvel TV is back with close out the year with another stellar outing and the boys are ready to see the resurrections of multiple characters from shows gone by (and maybe a reimagining that we didn't see coming!). To close out the show, the boys chat about their picks for some of the favorite pop culture items of 2021! It's been an amazing year and we thank you for being on this journey with us! Have a safe and happy new year everyone!

A Universe of Queens

Sashay, shante, panther on the runway! Grab your favorite cha cha heels, eyeshadow palette, and of course, a wig and get ready to dive into the worldwide - wait, no - UNIVERSE full of queens! From Canada, to The UK, to Italy, to the London stage for the first ever all drag queen singing competition, it's all covered here!

Hey girl, hey!! The boys have donned their best wigs and their highest heels because as this year comes to an end, they are ready to discuss and dish on the plethora of drag that has been bestowed upon the universe! From season three of RuPaul's Drag Race UK, to season two of Canada's Drag Race, to the sickening and sweet cast of RuPaul's Drag Race season 14 they've got opinions on it all. Have the international iterations hosted by the legendary RuPaul become too Americanized? Do the rotating hosts and presenters of the versions where Ru isn't involved change the tone too hectic? Did the right queen win their respective season? Is Vanessa L. Williams an absolute national treasure? (spoiler alert - yes, yes she is) These queens of the universe have shown that while drag is on almost every day of the week, it's true that the world has not his peak saturation and there is room for more fabulousness! The conversation ends with a look forward at the fourteen queens joining the kingdom on January 7th as we find out how a single candy bar can change a queen's fate!

Next Episode

No Way Home For Spiderman

Whether it's spinning webs with the greatest of ease, helping the citizens of New York City, or knowing that with great power also comes great responsibility, Spiderman always knows where his heart is. However, when the fabric of reality starts to tear apart, will our friendly neighborhood wall crawler find brotherhood in three of him, or will he find that for the first time there might actually be no way home?

It's the start of a brand new year and the boys have put on their sling rings and grabbed their geometry textbooks to navigate through the mirror dimension to converge at the round table to discuss the topic that was on everyone's lips at the end of 2021, Marvel and Sony's third entry into the Tom Holland trilogy, Spiderman: No Way Home! From Spidey's plea to the (former) Sorcerer Supreme Doctor Strange to his multiple costume changes, to the lack of storyline for Sandman and The Lizard, the boys will break down their favorite parts, and their less favorite parts, to give their hot takes on whether or not this film was worth the wait. They also throw out wild conjecture and speculation on whether there really is no way home for Peter after he makes the sacrifices he needs to in order to keep those he loves safe... or is it just a ploy to keep us hooked and waiting for more (ok, that one is easy... of course we'll be coming back for more)! To wrap up the episode the boys share their flame ratings!
