  • No news

    If there’s no news, there’s no need for a show. 45 minutes of vamping is overkill. The tapes aren’t bad when there’s news.

  • Not here for science

    It’s cool to get the occasional fun fact but one of the hosts is getting off way too hard on informing the audience that he knows cool whacky science facts. It’s clearly a big part of how he wants to express himself but it just gets boring.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Scarlett Johannson as Gilda Dent? Doomsday Trailer When? And More Headlines!
Q: What do you think is the most interesting angle for Scarlett Johansson in The Batman Part 2?
The panel suggests she could bring a complex, high-stakes dynamic as Gilda Dent, potentially enriching Harvey Dent's backstory and family arc, which could set up a compelling shift toward more intense, personal villainy within Gotham.

Q: What would be your dream Mario movie after Galaxy, unconstrained by the trailer?
We brainstormed expansive spinoff concepts—from Luigi's Mansion styled horror to a Mario Kart adventure—and discussed giving the universe room to breathe with multiple genre takes and potential crossovers, including the idea of a separate, self-contained series of films.
We answer your hardest hitting questions | BR AMA
Q: Is mayonnaise an instrument?
We explore the idea philosophically, noting that while mayonnaise is not literally an instrument, anything could be an instrument if used creatively, and we even joke about various artists who might make music from unconventional samples.
We Answer Your BIGGEST MCU Questions | BR Q&A
Q: Will we see a Midnight Suns movie that teams up the various characters?
It could happen, although it may be called something like 'Ghost Rider' instead of 'Midnight Suns' due to Marvel's branding preferences.
We Answer Your BIGGEST MCU Questions | BR Q&A
Q: If they do make a Midnight Suns movie, do you have an ideal roster to be part of the Midnight Suns?
The ideal roster would absolutely need Ghost Rider, and possibly Blade, Moon Knight, and other mystical characters.
