Don’t judge an episode by its title because this is a wholesome one, we swear! We start with some Lego Game Boy talk and revisited Chainsaw Man impressions before ping-ponging between a whole host of movies and TV shows: Predator: Badlands, IT: Welcome to Derry, Pluribus, Good Fortune, and Pixar’s Win or Lose. Then, we turn to Nintendo with hands-on impressions of Kirby Air Riders and a dive into the company’s latest financials and how Switch 2 is still breaking records. See? Wholesome — and maybe a bit gory.

The year, 2025. The boys, Angel and Kevin. The third host, lost in Europe with no way home. So they did what they had to do and recorded one without their lost brother. What do they talk about? I honestly don’t remember, but they had to censor it a bit.
