  • Jimmy ‘Superfly’ Snuka and the untimely death of Nancy Argentino.
    Mar 29 2026

    In this episode, we’re talking about Jimmy ‘Superfly’ Snuka and the untimely death of Nancy Argentino.

    We’ll be jumping into some sensitive themes here, including coconut-related ‘assault’. We’ll be talking about Jimmy’s life, Nancy Argentino, our beloved Rowdy Roddy Piper (Da Maniac) - and WWF’s complete failure in protecting women.

    Thanks to Irvin Muchnick’s investigative work on Nancy’s death, which helped shine a light on this upsetting case.

  • Worst X-Men Ever
    Mar 13 2026

    Oh my stars and garters, we’re talking about the worst X-Men mutants ever!


    In this episode we’re taking a lighter approach, as we discuss the lamest characters in X-Men history. You may be surprised by some opinions here, but Matt and Drew both managed a comic shop for years, so we’re technically correct.


    This is also your reminder to go read X-Statix already. Go support your local comic book store and pick up your damn pull list.

  • History of E3 - Part Four
    Feb 27 2026

    It’s finally here, our last episode on the entire history of E3! We’ve had booth babes, questionable presentations and jaw-dropping surprises. In this finale, we talk about E3’s last few years, and what the future holds for video game events.


    Huge thanks to all the gaming journalists that diligently archived all of their work over the years. We’ll be sitting here reminiscing over Reggie and our favourite eccentric Coffee Guy.
