UFC 203: It's Still Real to Me, Damnit!
Alex breaks down UFC 203, which basically felt like a weird old WCW PPV from the nWo era, with some help from his buddy William.
The article Alex wrote in which he was kinda wrong about CM Punk can be found here:

Stranger Things, Suicide Squad, and Nate Diaz vs. Conor McGregor
We talked about some of the good stuff we've been enjoying on Netflix and Amazon Prime lately, primarily Stranger Things. We talk about Suicide Squad, which was not a good movie. We did not hate it, however, and we attempt to explain out loud our mixed feelings on this disaster of a summer blockbuster. Finally, we come to grips with a world in which Nate Diaz has lost a fight to Conor McGregor.

Top Gun: When Misguided Hypermasculinity Goes Wrong
We watched the movie Top Gun from start to finish, and it was every bit as horrible as we thought that it would be. From the poorly constructed plot to the sex scene that looks like it was constructed from the imagination of a 13-year-old boy, this film was a master class in Cold War era propaganda and 1980s hypermasculine homoerotism. Join us as we discuss the finer points of Top Gun.
We also offer some Netflix/Amazon Prime suggestions, including the surprisingly good Mr. Robot.
Customer Reviews
Light-hearted and enjoyable podcast
The tag line for this podcast is pretty perfect. If you would say that you typically have more discerning taste, but you also have some pretty awful guilty pleasures, this is definitely right up your alley. They tackles various topics that include, but are not limited to movies, television, UFC, comic books, music, etc. Give it a listen and thank me later.
Great fun for almost everyone
These guys have the same conversations we all have but they take it one step further and broadcast it. Great show, a recommendation to just about everyone.
Some of the Most Fun You'll Ever Have With Your Ears
The great thing about this show is the sense you get as a listener that these are the type of conversations these people would have anyway - They just happen to have microphones in the room to record them.
You can tell that they're all good friends, and that feeling comes through in their product. They're bright, funny, energetic and (most importantly) VERY entertaining!
This show is truly a "must listen".
