"ACTING IS THE SUM OF EVERYTHING YOU'VE EXPERIENCED." If you guys have been following us throughout the year, you know Brian's been trying to get Alec to watch Wonder Man for the past eight months.

EP 154 - The News of the Game(s)
YAO MING ALMOST CRIED WHEN HE SAW THE STATE OF PLAYS. As we near the final quarter of 2026, video game news and releases are starting to heat up. Between all the games trying to launch without being impacted by GTAVI, and all the footage making its way from hacked hard drives to the internet…

EP 153 - The Future Belongs to Everyone
"AND I'M TAKING IT BACK." Ever since My Adventures with Superman premiered three years ago, we at Boulder Punch have been undeniably hooked, with its second season especially being one of our favorite DC things in recent memory. The past two years waiting for Season 3 have been long, but now it's...
-
EP 152 - I Have Faith
YAO MING ALMOST CRIED WHEN HE SAW THE CURRENT STATE OF X-MEN '97. After two and a half years alongside a creative shakeup, the second season of X-MEN '97 is finally here! While the season's had its fair share of highs, it's also had some pretty dizzying lows -- so much that people are worrying…

EP 151 - The One After Brand New Day
NOW WHAT? With Brand New Day dominating the box office, it's time to take a look at all the news we missed and see what's coming next. The view is more mixed than we'd like it to be, but it must be scoped out nonetheless. So, tune in as Alec and Brian go over all the biggest bits from the past…

EP 150 - Brand New Day (ft. HeyGuysItSpidey & @gwenstacying)

-
EP 148 - It's Over
SOON WE WILL OWN NOTHING! Last week capping off with the second season of a bad adaptation and a bad entry in a cinematic universe seemed to bode badly for this week. A lot of things have happened, and while some of it's good, most is, uhh... concerning. So, tune in as Alec and Brian dive through...
-
EP 147 - Revenge is (Not) the Answer
WHAT DOES LOBO EVEN DO? After Superman got the DCU off to a (debatably) good start, many were excited to see where Kara Zor-El's first cinematic outing in forty years would take things next. Her film being adapted from a singular critically-acclaimed comic seemed to be the perfect recipe for a...

EP 146 - Absolute News
THE BRAVE AND THE DIRE. Oh boy, Alec and Brian had a main topic but got carried away with the news section! How exciting! Anyway, y'all know the drill. Tune in as Alec and Brian pre-game for their Supergirl discussion with big things from the past week, including the return of Elodie Yung as...

-
EP 144 - The Good News, The Bad News, & The Who News
BRING ON THE WILDERNESS YEARS PART TWO! We planned on talking about Mandalorian and Grogu this episode, but too much happened in the past week for us to condense. Game showcases, leaks, and the official (for-now) sunsetting of the longest-running sci-fi show of all time didn't really leave us…
more -
EP 143 - Drowning in News
LET'S RECAP, SHALL WE? Alec is finally free from his two-year stint in grad school, and it's time to get back into the swing of things. So much has happened the past four weeks that it's enough to make our heads spin, but we will dive into it all nonetheless. So, tune in as Alec and Brian ring in...
-
EP 142 - Resist. Rebel. Rebuild.
"BOO!" After the lukewarm to positive reception of its messier first season, the Man Without Fear's newest season left many hoping for something tighter, more focused, and closer in quality to its Netflix predecessor. What resulted was what many consider to be a massive step up that brings this…

EP 139 - Grace and Leon's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
"I'M GONNA SIT RIGHT HERE WITH YOU..." After the emotional and shocking ending of Resident Evil Village, many wondered where the franchise would go next, even more so who it would revolve around. What many did not expect was a pivot back to Raccoon City and the T-Virus through the eyes of…
more -
EP 138 - Yeah Whatever Man (ft. @gwenstacying & @HeyGuysItSpidey)
IT STARTS WITH "SORRY." Last November, the four of us gathered around to watch both seasons of one of the most popular adult animated shows currently running. We did not like it. We meant to talk about how we did not like it for the past three months. Also, Evangelion is back. Nothing works out…
more -
EP 137 - Your Sons Have Returned
DID YOU MISS US? The boys are back from their longest hiatus yet, and are now tasked with covering two months' worth of news in a reasonable amount of time. God help them.

-
EP 132 - Congratulations (ft. @gwenstacying)
"WHAT IS YOUR HEART FOR?" Thirty years ago today, a new anime premiered on television in Japan. One that seemed standard fare for the time, giant robots fighting giant monsters, etc. What no one really knew was that it would end up becoming one of the cornerstones of all of modern pop culture as…

-
EP 130 - The Past and Present Spider-Man
2008 ISN'T COMING BACK. A big growing sentiment in recent years has been the overall idea that Spider-Man as an IP is wrong nowadays and that whatever's going on currently is an invalid fad that doesn't matter and will fade away. We have thoughts on that. Tune in as Brian and Alec discuss recent...
-

EP 125 - The Aftermath

EP 124 - #DidTheGunnJam?
"MAYBE THAT'S THE REAL PUNK ROCK." Well, guys, the promised day is here.

-
EP 123 - I Love You, Wife
"YOU MADE ME HAPPY..." Silent Hill 2 is one of the crowning achievements of survival horror and video game storytelling, alongside being one of Brian's favorite games of all time. When it was first leaked and announced that a remake would be developed by Bloober Team, he, Alec, and many others...

-
EP 120 - Why Is He Like This?
CHRISTOPHER ECCLESTON WAS RIGHT. The second season of Doctor Who has reached its end. So has, shockingly, the era of Ncuti Gatwa. People were stunned to see the Fifteenth Doctor regenerate after so little time compared to others, and even more so when he regenerated into Billie Piper. The show's...

"WE OWN YOU NOW." Back in 2022, it was announced that Phase 5 of the MCU would wrap up with an adaptation of Thunderbolts, seeming to be Marvel's answer to Suicide Squad. Very quickly, the team lineup left a lot to be desired, and as production kicked off, not many had faith in it reigniting the...

-
EP 113 - Let the Devil Out
"YOU DON'T GET TO DESTROY WHO I AM." After the Devil of Hell's Kitchen's second season released, the Netflix corner of the MCU was on a bit of a downturn. While there were fan-favorite highlights such as Luke Cage Season Two and The Punisher Season One, others such as the former's first season,...

-
EP 110 - Give Up
"F#$% THEM KIDS." - JOHN CENA, 2025. It's been about a month since we last recorded an episode of the main show, and a whole lot of things have happened since then. Some utterly predictable, some we never saw coming, and some that prove that Hell can indeed freeze over. So, tune in as Alec and...
-
EP 109 - If This Be My Destiny (ft. @gwenstacying & @HeyGuysItSpidey)
HERE WE GO AGAIN! Just over three years ago, Marvel announced an all-new show about Spider-Man adjacent to the MCU. After creative shifts, numerous layoffs, a slashed animation division, a CEO ousting, a restarted production, a title change, and one empty-headed f#@$ing dumbf#@$ nearly derailing…
