Crapathon 2022 rolls on with another gem of the Jon Peters oeuvre, 1999's steampunk western Wild Wild West. It's the one with the giant spider! Also this week, we pay tribute to the life of the one true Batman, Kevin Conroy, give our usual plaudits to Andor, and talk about what else we've been checking out, including Wakanda Forever, Paddington, Shetland, Tales from the Territories and more.

November Crapathon 2022 is here! We're kicking it off with a forgotten fever dream from the end of the Me Decade, 1989's Tango & Cash. Do you love when one movie tries to be all movies? You're in for a treat. Also this ep! Sandman gets renewed, we're troubled by Hercules, Henry Cavill delights and everything we've been checking out including Wendell & Wild, Derry Girls, Neko Golf and more.

Spoopy Season 2022 comes to a close with a new adaptation of something very near and dear to Cait's heart, the modern classic of vampiric fiction, Anne Rice's Interview With the Vampire.

Cinematic September wraps in October with the multiversal martial arts epic Everything Everywhere All At Once.

Caitlin takes the wheel for this week's Cinematic September outing, and once again unearths a gem Jordan never knew existed, the dark teen romance Spontaneous. At least we think it's a teen romance? Maybe a comedy? An alleghory? We'll get into it. Also this ep! The dust-up at Crunchyroll over voice actor pay, a handful of future things we're excited for and we celebrate how Andor proves there is room for all kinds of stories in a galaxy far, far away.

Cinematic September arrives and Jordan insisted on watching an 80s cable classic, the noir comedy "Throw Momma From the Train." Because apparently he doesn't care about keeping our subscriber numbers up. Also this ep! Chuds gonna chud, Caitlin is confused by Hollywood's priorities, a lot of talk about fried chicken and all the things we've been checking out including your usuals (She-Hulk, LotR, Attorney Woo) and a couple new additions like a return engagement from the Kids in the Hall and the standup of Mo Amer and Sheng Wang. Happy birthday, Cait.

This is now how we thought we'd wrap up August WatchOrama for the year, friends, but the disco demanded it of us and we are powerless to resist its sway, so we're setting sail for Westeros again to check out HBO's big swing, the Game of Thrones prequel series 'House of the Dragon.' Woof. We also talk about the meltdown of All Elite Wrestling, LotR getting review bombed, the irritating emergence of horror fishing as a gaming genre, and everything we've been checking out including McDonald & Dodds, Vera, She-Hulk, Junji Ito's latest, Extraordinary Attorney Woo and more.

This week on August WatchOrama we check out the Amazon adaptation of "Paper Girls," a comic we both enjoyed when we read it but never returned to finish. The show seems to be lost in the content seas this summer, should it move up your watchlist? Also this ep! Lots of talk about Neil Gaiman's media junket for Sandman, Black Mirror returns, Spy x Family is crushing the publishing industry, and updates to what we've been enjoying including She-Hulk, Lightyear, Lower Decks, Owl House S2, Yakuza: Like a Dragon and Bluey continues to change lives.

It's hard to believe in nearly five years we've never talked about a core Star Trek show on this podcast, so August WacthOrama seemed like an ideal time to look at what some are calling a return to everything that makes the franchise great, Strange New Worlds. We also talk about the seismic shifts happening in wrestling and D&D, fanboys review bombing She-Hulk, as well as everything we've been checking out including Arcane, wrapping Ms Marvel and Sandman, Penance, the Woodstock '99 doc Trainwreck and more.

Back on the scene, crispy and clean, your new BFFs return to the disco to kick off August WatchORama in the only that feels appropriate: with the 2022 adaptation of beloved graphic novel series The Sandman. We also chat about our summer break, the seismic changes at World Wrestling Entertainment, and some of the things we enjoyed during hiatus including Prey, Immortal Hulk, The Boys, Loot and more.

Opportune June comes to a close with another reco revist, this time of Amazon's space opera The Expanse and the stylish horror adventure-comedy Blood Blockade Battlefront. Spoilers: we loved these the first time, we still love them, but we'll tell you why. Also this ep: Last week's Miles Morales as Thor debacle from Marvel Comics, Obi-Wan limps to its conclusion, and all the things we've been checking out including some recently wrapped anime, Coffee & Vanilla, Star Trek Brave New Worlds and more.

After an unexpected hiatus your new BFFs return to kick off Opportune June the only way they know how: talking about the same thing for the fifth consecutive year. Have Utena and Avatar wiggled their way into their once-resistant hearts? Was fifth time the charm? We shall see. Also this ep! Jord and Cait have picked the weirdest year to attend a wrestling event, updates on everything we checked out including Ms. Marvel, Stranger Things, Kids in the Hall and more, and we finally get these Obi-Wan takes off of our spirits.

Caitlin wanted to take the week off and go get Cuban food, leaving Jordan to remind her there are no days off when you're doing it for the disco. Besides that entire month they take off in the summer. So since we had no time to check out any of the major releases this week, we kept it free form! Topics included but not limited to our upcoming field trip, Cait's twice delayed marital celebration, a survey of the state of Star Trek and more. Opportune June starts next month, the same way it always does, with the fifth instalment of Utena and Avatar.

A rare return to Korean drama as Jordan and Cait check out the recent hit "Business Proposal." Did it scratch that very specific itch that only Kdramas can?

This week your new BFFs do it like they used to, you know the vibes, beefy bubble bois only, with two similarly-named Netflix offerings: "The Bubble," a "comedy" from Judd Apatow; and "Bubble," a kinetic sci-fi love story from the people who brought you Attack on Titan, Madoka Magica and Death Note.
