    EP 153 - The Future Belongs to Everyone

    "AND I'M TAKING IT BACK." Ever since My Adventures with Superman premiered three years ago, we at Boulder Punch have been undeniably hooked, with its second season especially being one of our favorite DC things in recent memory. The past two years waiting for Season 3 have been long, but now it's finally out! While there is plenty to love, including arguably the best episode of the entire show, there are some low points that leave quite a bit to be desired. But with an uncertain future looming, what do we really think of this season? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian go over recent news, as well as their spoiler-filled thoughts on MY ADVENTURES WITH SUPERMAN Season 3 -- alongside what the future holds!

    EP 152 - I Have Faith

    YAO MING ALMOST CRIED WHEN HE SAW THE CURRENT STATE OF X-MEN '97. After two and a half years alongside a creative shakeup, the second season of X-MEN '97 is finally here! While the season's had its fair share of highs, it's also had some pretty dizzying lows -- so much that people are worrying for the future of the show. So, what did we think of it? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian go over recent news (Paramount/WBD Merger, the state of DC, WOLVERINE gameplay, BEYOND THE SPIDER-VERSE updates, and casting for the X-MEN movie) alongside their spoiler-filled thoughts on X-MEN '97 Season 2!

    EP 151 - The One After Brand New Day

    NOW WHAT? With Brand New Day dominating the box office, it's time to take a look at all the news we missed and see what's coming next. The view is more mixed than we'd like it to be, but it must be scoped out nonetheless. So, tune in as Alec and Brian go over all the biggest bits from the past two weeks, including Marvel's SDCC panel, the new LANTERNS trailer, the cancellation of WONDER MAN, and the castings of Emma Frost and Cyclops in the upcoming X-MEN movie!

    EP 150 - Brand New Day (ft. HeyGuysItSpidey & @gwenstacying)

    "I'M BOTH." Happy Spider-Man Day! After four and a half years of trial and error, creative differences, versions tossed in the trash, and so, so much waiting, the next chapter in Peter Parker's live-action saga has finally arrived! The film is garnering mass amounts of praise and unforeseen financial success for the webhead, but what do we think of it? Tune in to find out as Alec, Brian, and guests Trey and Darby mark the 150th Episode of the show with their spoiler-filled thoughts on SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY!

    EP 148 - It's Over

    SOON WE WILL OWN NOTHING! Last week capping off with the second season of a bad adaptation and a bad entry in a cinematic universe seemed to bode badly for this week. A lot of things have happened, and while some of it's good, most is, uhh... concerning. So, tune in as Alec and Brian dive through all the big pop culture stuff of the past week, including more on NATLA Season 2, SUPERGIRL and the DCU, the PERSONA live action Netflix series, and the new awful updates from Xbox and PlayStation, including the latter's decision to end physical discs for good!

    EP 147 - Revenge is (Not) the Answer

    WHAT DOES LOBO EVEN DO? After Superman got the DCU off to a (debatably) good start, many were excited to see where Kara Zor-El's first cinematic outing in forty years would take things next. Her film being adapted from a singular critically-acclaimed comic seemed to be the perfect recipe for a surefire hit. Unfortunately, both critically and commercially, that has not seemed to pass. So, what happened? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian go all in on the spoilers and questionable choices behind the fourth chapter of the DCU -- SUPERGIRL!

    THE BRAVE AND THE DIRE. Oh boy, Alec and Brian had a main topic but got carried away with the news section! How exciting! Anyway, y'all know the drill. Tune in as Alec and Brian pre-game for their Supergirl discussion with big things from the past week, including the return of Elodie Yung as Elektra, MY ADVENTURES WITH GREEN LANTERN, the ABSOLUTE BATMAN animated series, and the long-dreaded NETFLIX AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER Season 2!

    EP 145 - Out with the Old, In with the Brand New

    "I'M LOSING MY MIND..." Another week brings another round of news, some big, some small that eventually spin out into broader conversations. Either way, our favorite web-head finally has a new trailer, so it's time to lock in. Tune in as Alec and Brian go over recent news, trailers, and thoughts, from the WB/Paramount merger, to Chris Evans returning in SECRET WARS, to Jessica Cruz in MY ADVENTURES WITH SUPERMAN Season 3, to the recent failures of films like THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU, and the highly-anticipated trailer for SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY!

    EP 144 - The Good News, The Bad News, & The Who News

    BRING ON THE WILDERNESS YEARS PART TWO! We planned on talking about Mandalorian and Grogu this episode, but too much happened in the past week for us to condense. Game showcases, leaks, and the official (for-now) sunsetting of the longest-running sci-fi show of all time didn't really leave us with much room to talk about a vapid movie. So, tune in as Alec and Brian go over the biggest bits from the past week, including RESIDENT EVIL: VERONICA, THE WOLF AMONG US 2, GODZILLA: DESTROY ALL MONSTERS MELEE REMASTERED, PERSONA 4 REVIVAL AND PERSONA 6, MY ADVENTURES WITH SUPERMAN SEASON 3, and of course -- the end of DOCTOR WHO for the foreseeable future!

So, tune in as Alec and Brian ring in the summer by going all in on the biggest bits from the past month, including the DEVIL MAY CRY series, the PUNISHER special, THE BOYS finale, THE BATMAN PART II's cast, trailers for LANTERNS and X-MEN '97 Season 2, new info and footage of MY ADVENTURES WITH SUPERMAN Season 3, new info on BRAND NEW DAY, and the latest State of Play featuring new looks at GOD OF WAR: LAUFEY and Marvel's WOLVERINE!

    EP 142 - Resist. Rebel. Rebuild.

    "BOO!" After the lukewarm to positive reception of its messier first season, the Man Without Fear's newest season left many hoping for something tighter, more focused, and closer in quality to its Netflix predecessor. What resulted was what many consider to be a massive step up that brings this new era to a head, while still struggling with some growing pains. So, what do we think? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian dive into the action, insanity, and spoilers of DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Season 2!

    EP 139 - Grace and Leon's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

    "I'M GONNA SIT RIGHT HERE WITH YOU..." After the emotional and shocking ending of Resident Evil Village, many wondered where the franchise would go next, even more so who it would revolve around. What many did not expect was a pivot back to Raccoon City and the T-Virus through the eyes of newcomer Grace Ashcroft and veteran Leon Kennedy. This entry -- celebrating the series' 30th anniversary -- has already been hailed as a GOTY contender, but what do the boys think? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian dive into the horror, action, drama, and hilarity of RESIDENT EVIL REQUIEM!

    EP 138 - Yeah Whatever Man (ft. @gwenstacying & @HeyGuysItSpidey)

    IT STARTS WITH "SORRY." Last November, the four of us gathered around to watch both seasons of one of the most popular adult animated shows currently running. We did not like it. We meant to talk about how we did not like it for the past three months. Also, Evangelion is back. Nothing works out the way you want it to, huh? Oh, well. Tune in as Alec, Brian, Darby, and Trey talk Yoko Taro's new NEON GENESIS EVANGELION series as well as their brutally honest thoughts on HAZBIN HOTEL!

    EP 136 - Don't Look, Kevin

    NOTHING TO SEE HERE. THIS IS ALL MADE UP. Another two weeks apart, another news episode! As we wrap up the year and look to the next one, a lot has dropped in our laps. From movie trailers, to game trailers, to scary-ass corporate mergers, to scary-ass leaks akin to sticks of dynamite, we got a lot to cover. So, tune in as Alec and Brian look back on the biggest December news, including SUPERGIRL, The Game Awards, John Cena's retirement, and definitely-not-trailer-leaks for AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY and SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY!

    EP 135 - That Bird That I Hate

    HONOR DIED ON THE GINGKO TREE. After over five years of waiting -- and the most obvious headache-inducing reactionary grifting -- Sucker Punch's sequel to Ghost of Tsushima has finally released. Atsu's tale of revenge has garnered mass amounts of praise for its characters, gameplay, and open world, but what do we think of it? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian discuss recent news from the past two weeks as well as their thoughts on PlayStation's new blockbuster -- GHOST OF YŌTEI!
