  • Great concept, great characters

    I love the simplistic greatness of the concept for this show. I was already a big fan of Ray from his “Knowing is Half the Podcast” show. Now I’m a big fan of this show too.

    Hey guys, I hope I have some better match ups this time, but what about John Wick versus Snake Eyes, The Last Ronin (TMNT) versus Master Chief, Din Djaren (Mandolorian) versus Master Chief, Superman versus One Punch Man, The Prowler versus Batman, She-Hulk versus She-Ra, and The Punisher versus Deadshot. I hope y’all like my ideas this time, I put a lot of thought into the , and I hope y’all keep making more episodes, and Ray keeps winning!
