ANR Geekly 206 - Two More Saiyans for the Shelf

August 3, 2025·1 hr 43 min·3 clips

The Tylenol Murders documentary reveals how cyanide-laced pills killed people—and how big pharma may have covered it up.

Unscripted casual discussion between Tav and Alvin on A&R Geekly, episode 206. Hosts discuss what they watched, got, and want in terms of action figures and entertainment. Key topics: (1) Dad joke segment with granola bar punchline; (2) The Last of Us season 2 criticism—Ellie's character direction problematic, actress Bella Ramsey wrong fit; (3) Video game releases (Doom Dark Ages) with mixed fan response; (4) Netflix's Tylenol Murders documentary—criminal case with possible corporate cover-up conspiracy; (5) Superman trailer reception—hosts prefer bright, happy Superman over dark/gritty tone; (6) Action figure collecting—Marvel Legends Maximum series divided reception, Figma imports vs. McFarlane alternatives, speculation on future re-releases. Hosts emphasize buying what you like rather than chasing hype, discuss various vendor retail locations, and reference their companion podcast 'Popcorn Chicken.'
