Meathead Movies and Midlife Musings

This week, everyone's favorite podcast pals light one up and dive into the gloriously sweaty, post-apocalyptic fever dream that is Cyborg — the second entry in the “Meathead Movies” series, where they take the most protein-soaked, testosterone-dripping films of yesteryear and crack them open to reveal surprisingly tender truths about modern masculinity.

But before the cinematic deconstruction begins, you have front-row seats to the chaos: birthday shoutouts, Garth Brooks alter-egos, inexplicable tangents, and enough giggle fits to make you wonder if someone passed the other mic around. You know, the rolled up kind.

Then, once the haze clears (or thickens, depending on how you roll), they get into Cyborg — not just the plot, but the strange poetry of roundhouse kicks, the vulnerability hiding under all that sweat, and why even aging stoners can still learn something from a dude with a mullet and a mission. Or unlearn.

Come for the jokes, stay for the deep cuts… and maybe grab a snack first. You’re gonna get the munchies.
