A podcast hosted by two guys who grew up as geeks in the 1990s. Each week, we reminisce about our geeky childhoods over a couple of beers.
Frank and Tim's Superhero Slapback lands on Dolph Lundgren's The Punisher (1989), a movie too embarrassed to put a skull on Frank Castle's chest but happy to carve one into his throwing knives. Cheers!

Frank and Tim pour a drink and break down every reveal, theory, and Easter egg buried in the trailer for Avengers: Doomsday. Cheers!
We get into:
Tim and Frank take on a deceptively simple question: is Spider-Man actually a street-level superhero? What starts as a debate about subgenres turns into a much bigger conversation — about tone, stakes, and whether the label helps or hurts a character when your hero is literally swinging above the street.

Frank and Tim grab a couple of citrus wheat ales and head to the theater for Supergirl, the DCU's next step after Superman. The verdict: liked it, didn't love it — an earnest, surprisingly un-cynical B-movie with a great cast, gorgeous practical aliens, and a message clearly aimed at kids it's frankly too dark to show them. Along the way: the Casablanca clue, Lobo done right, and a genuinely unhinged detour into Augustine vs....
Frank and Tim return to the galaxy far, far away to talk through The Mandalorian and Grogu, a Star Wars movie that knows exactly what it is: a fun, self-contained, Saturday-morning adventure with space western vibes, Indiana Jones structure, James Bond mission energy, and some very mobile Hutts. Cheers!

Frank and Tim crack open some drinks and attempt the noble, impossible task of ranking sci-fi franchises without accidentally starting six different side conversations. Star Wars and Star Trek go straight into S-tier, Dune gets surprisingly close to sacred-text status, and Tim is reminded that he watched Tron: Legacy for the podcast nine years ago and fully forgot.

Frank, Tim, and returning guest Vactor crack open some very different drinks and dive into DC K.O., DC’s latest big event comic. They dig into Superman as the emotional center of the event, whether the story had more substance than people gave it credit for, how the tie-ins held up, and whether this was just a flashy event or something more lasting.
