Let's Talk About Stuff!

You know what the Oscars was missing? Apparently Outstanding Popular Film! We discuss that #hip appeal to millennials, Brent being #TeamJacob despite the name sounding incomplete, Quik Trip (the best convenience store in all the land) carrying RC Cola, and we beg Dr Pepper/Snapple Group to finally sponsor our RC love! Also, Steven watched Predator, Predator 2, and Predators all in anticipation of The Predator coming out soon (that’s a lot of Predator). Steven also recommends The Discovery on Netflix and The One I Love by the same director. Then Brent regales us with the lovely tale of Malibu Comics' Prime in another addition of Tales From the Quarter Bin with Prime Vol. 1: Prime Time! Finally, we continue our Marvel comics reading with the 2018 Free Comic Book Day issue of The Avengers and we also discuss Shazam Vol. 1 (2013), DC’s New 52 being mostly a bust, and why Shazam is no longer Captain Marvel!

The boys are back! Join Steven & Brent as they reunite to catch up on pop culture, discuss their vacations & pretend like the podcast is getting better!

We also talk about recent pop culture that we've consumed, including: The Bad Batch, The Big Chill, Edge of Seventeen, Castle Rock on Hulu, Luke Cage Season 2, Justice League/Power Rangers, MMPR: Pink, Legend of the Wu-Tang Clan: Greatest Hits & Kevin Smith's Hollyweed. Also discussed: Being placed on Standby at airports, pop-up protesting, Steven does The Jason Mantzoukas face-water test, Brent disagrees with Josh's "flawed premise" argument about cookies, Malibu Comics' Prime, Fat Godzilla, "Mowgli" getting downgraded from theatrical release to a Netflix release, Nicole Maines cast as the first transgender superhero on Supergirl, Dan Pfeiffer’s book “Yes We (Still) Can”

Aloha from Hawai’i on the first ever on location recording of LTAS! Steven is joined by guest hosts Amanda Fisher, Sarah Brindley, and Josh Whitmore for a meandering conversation that involves lots of editing (sorry for any abrupt changes) plus a revolving door of extra guests: Matt (35-40), Grant (6), Miles (4), Nolan (2), Shirley, and Dan! That’s the kind of craziness LTAS brings you from a family vacation of 16 people in two houses! First we revisit the epic showdown of Popkulture Kombat: Oreo VS Chips Ahoy as Amanda’s sprawling family dives into the fight with their favorites. Then we discuss some of the awesome adventures Hawai’i has to offer including the Disney Aulani resort and why every playground should have water, volcano talk with lava bombs, Josh reliving his glory days of living in Kona on the Big Island (shoutout to Lava Java), and older brothers still driving their 30-something siblings around in a minivan - look out Waikiki!

We live in an age of great superhero movies...but that wasn't always the case! Join Brent and guest host Ross Lickteig as they fall through the CGI hellscape of the 1997 Spawn film!
