Free Range Idiocy

Free Range Idiocy

A podcast about EVERYTHING... but mostly the stuff we like. Two friends talking about everything and anything that they're interested in a that particular moment. From science fiction to sports, movies to music, books to Battlestar Galactica... we try to cover it all in our own, special, idiotic way.

There was a whole lotta hoopla and waiting for Loki season 2. Did it live up to the hype? Did the god of mischief manage to save all of time and space? Did Sylvie keep the 1980's mullet for the entire season? And most importantly... which idiot prevailed in our preseason predictions?! Also, we get yet another update on The Man They Call Tim's fake football team, some thoughts on Dune Part 2, some news on The Mandalorian, and the t...

The world of professional rasslin' has been one helluva ride over the last year, especially if you've been following the behind-the-curtain stuff over at WWE. Now that the ink has dried on the merger of WWE with UFC to form TKO (because ya can't have too many three letter abbreviations can ya?), it appears that the rollercoaster of "Who's In Charge Around Here?!" is finally over with Triple H officially having complete creative con...

We tally up the results from our Ahsoka edition of The Real & The Jabroni to find out who was wrong and who was right... or, in this case, who was wrong and who was wrongest. Either way, there's a bottle of moderately priced bourbon on the line, so it's time to get out the abacus and see who made it over the finish line first! Also, we get an update on The Man They Call Tim's fake football team, Adam Copeland in AEW, a tidbit ...

We don't usually center an entire episode around one slice of a streaming series, but when you've read six books waiting for a character's live action debut, it's easy to get a little excited. We look at the sixth episode of Ahsoka and breakdown the first appearance of Grand Admiral Thrawn along with that other guy who hitched a ride with the space whales. Also, we get an update on The Man They Call Tim's fake football team, wheth...

Loki season two will be here before you know it, so your humble idiotic servants have delved into all the rumors and theories swirling about the interwebs in order to give you - da people - our official, lead-pipe-cinch verdict on what will definitely be happening (The Real) and what won't (The Jabroni).

One of the rarest tricks to pull in professional wrestling is the double turn - somehow making the good guy into the bad guy and the bad guy into the good guy. That's tough enough, but doing it in a single match? The most successful execution of this that we can think about is "Stone Cold" Steve Austin versus Bret "The Hitman" Hart from Wrestlemania 13... and we're gonna watch it all and drop some commentary as well!

Also, we dive ...

In case you hadn't noticed, one of the high holy days of the wrasslin' calendar happened last weekend with WWE rolling out SummerSlam from Detroit. We didn't get a chance to watch the whole thing, but far be it for a lack of prep to keep us from having an opinion! We talk about the two matches that were intriguing to us - Lesnar/Rhodes and Reigns/Uso - and provide some commentary for both matches!

Uncle Todd finally... finally... got The Man They Call Tim to catch up on a Disney+ show that didn't involve space magic so it could be talked about on the podcast. Unfortunately, he also recommended Secret Invasion after the fifth episode before the whole thing fell apart like a 1986 Yugo going over a large speed bump. What did we think? Can Uncle Todd ever be trusted again? Find out!

It's been nearly 8 months since Bob Iger took the reigns back as CEO of Disney, and overall... things have been good. Until the last couple weeks.

We’ve had a little bit to digest the series finale of Star Trek Picard, and to say the least, we have thoughts. Did they manage to land the plane when it came to all the nefarious ne-r do wells they had lined up? Did more characters get thrown over the side when the writers had no idea what to do with them? Did Worf wind up killing a guy with a trident? We go over all the happenings and feels from a final goodbye to our generation’...
