  • 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.

  • Hoo, it’s going to be another long one isn’t it?

    Another great couple of episodes and another long review! Daredevil vs Killer Croc surpassed my expectations and a mutant vs a video game character is always a solid episode.

Despite this like G... more

  • (Koopa Troopa like in Mario, this time just a different name)

    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!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bishop vs Albert Wesker
Q: What is Wesker's strongest counter to Bishop?
Wesker relies on superior speed, precise marksmanship, and the ability to inflict rapid, lethal damage before Bishop can fully absorb sufficient energy, leveraging his gun-fu and tentacled capabilities to overwhelm Bishop.
Bishop vs Albert Wesker
Q: What is Bishop's most decisive edge in this matchup?
Bishop's primary edge is his energy-absorption and redirection, which can amplify his already superhuman strength and durability as the fight progresses, potentially turning the tide if Wesker cannot prevent energy buildup.
Nova vs Guy Gardner
Q: Welcome. How are you doing tonight?
I'm doing great, Sam. Representing Green Lantern Guy Gardner with pride, and I'm excited for the matchup.
