As the summer heat rises, so does the intensity on The Outcast Podcast. This week, your favorite trio—Gentry, Tomkat, and Memphis—take on everything from cinematic fireworks to real-world flare-ups. Whether you're here for the laughs, the headlines, or the heart, this episode brings it all together.
We kicked off with a Hollywood heavyweight segment—looking ahead to 2025’s biggest summer blockbusters and ranking the greatest summer movies of all time. From the upcoming Avengers spinoff and the next Mission: Impossible installment, to throwbacks like Independence Day, Jaws, The Dark Knight, and Top Gun: Maverick, the crew debated what makes a film truly iconic.
Which one had the best explosions? The most quotable lines? The summer anthem soundtrack? Tune in for our wild takes.
It wasn’t all Hollywood—each host opened up about their favorite summer memory. From Gentry’s family road trip with bad gas station snacks and better mixtapes, to Memphis’ legendary 4th of July block party (complete with firework mishaps), to Tomkat’s “unforgettable” summer crush at Bible camp, the nostalgia ran deep—and hilarious.
But this week wasn’t just fun and games. The guys tackled the escalating tension around the globe—with conflict hotspots brewing across continents.
It feels like the world is teetering—so how do we stay grounded? Is it time for diplomacy… or is humanity just addicted to conflict?
In one of the most disturbing stories this week, the Outcasts react to the shocking shooting of U.S. Senators by a gunman. The implications are massive: safety, stability, and how America processes violence in the halls of power. Emotions run high as the crew reflects on the deeper meaning behind political attacks.
Sean “Diddy” Combs is back in the headlines—and not in the way anyone wanted. This week we break down the latest developments in his ongoing trial, with updates involving witness testimony, damaging footage, and more media frenzy than an MTV spring break special.
Is this the fall of a music mogul? Or a case of trial by media?
In another twist from the prison pipeline, R. Kelly reportedly suffered an overdose—with whispers of a murder plot making waves through correctional circles. We get into the chaos, the conspiracies, and ask the tough questions: what happens when fame follows you behind bars?
Of course, we close out with the always-epic Tomkat’s News and Viral Videos of the Week. This week featured:
