Allan Ungar is the filmmaker behind the Uncharted fan film that the internet went wild for… the one where Nathan played Nathan Drake. It all began with a soft float, which is apparently a Canadian thing, and a chain of events so unlikely it had to st... more
Nathan cannot seem to visit Paris without ending up underground. Last time it was the basement of the Eiffel Tower; this time, the catacombs, where one prisoner's story pulled his attention off the other six million skeletons.
Back above ground, Nat... more
Jim Rash will insist the Groundlings is not a cult, and he is mostly right. The improv troupe turned him into a gifted actor, though he insists his deep well of characters is closer to a kiddie pool. He waves off his writing talents too, which is har... more
Alan was once cast as Robot #4, but his trailer door now says Gary. The upgrade was not an accident. Checking in from the Atlanta set of the Superman sequel, Alan makes the case that a little conviction can turn a number into a name. Nathan knows a t... more

Love this show! Love hearing Alan and Nathan together again! Nathan is wonderful, and Alan is hilarious! It's a shame that they both still associate with Adam "gamergate" Baldwin, a man who brought so much hate not only into the world, but into women's lives, as if they don't have enough to deal with. Thankfully, he's not part of this show, so I'll keep enjoying it 👍
Also, both hosts wash their legs, which is wonderful to hear.
I have to say I enjoy every episode. My favorite was finding out the Nathan, Alan, and I all turn 55 this year. I hear you both tell similar stories to mine. Looking forward to some Patreon gifts in the mailbox. Hint. Wink. Nod. 🫶🏻
They come across as genuine, but the sound effects are awful on headphones and then there's Alan's cringey intro monologue
New to podcasts, but not new to the impressive body of work of Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk. I’ve rewatched so many times, unusual for me. It’s my go to. I honestly don’t know how I was introduced to the universe, may be Netflix? I just know I loved it. I know that I’ve continued to watch each of the ensemble cast actors in anything they do and while each one is great individually when they were together in Firefly they were awesome. Who on earth cancelled it? What an idiot…
I'm so used to podcasts where every episode is an interview, but here an hour will pass and I'm so captivated I don't even realize I'm just listening to two buddies dropping endless stories.
I also really like all the "radio" sound effects and segment intros, utilize the medium!
