October 9, 2025·1 hr 30 min·5 clips

The host says Pokemon was upset after ICE used its theme song in a deportation video.

1. A&R Geekly 221 centers on Landman, Tulsa King, collectibles, and a What I Learned segment about Pokemon and ICE. 2. Alvin hosts, Ice joins as co-host, and their back-and-forth drives the episode’s mix of show recommendations, toy talk, and jokes. 3. The episode asks whether Landman, the new Billy Bob Thornton series, is worth watching and what else has been worth attention this week. 4. Alvin says a friend tipped him off to Landman and that it stars Billy Bob Thornton in Texas oil country. 5. Ice compares the show to Tulsa King and asks whether it has the same field, while Alvin says Landman is a different type of beast. 6. Alvin describes the setting with “big trucks, Cowboys, big egos,” and later adds oil-company problems and cartels. 7. Alvin gives Landman a 9 out of 10 after watching the full season in two days. 8. He says Billy Bob Thornton’s one-liners are “some of the best ever,” especially when he walks away from scenes. 9. The hosts also mention Tulsa King season two and say Samuel L. Jackson is expected to appear. 10. Alvin says he watched Jujutsu Kaisen and Kaiju number eight and has also tried Demon Slayer. 11. Ice says he is two episodes behind on Kaiju number eight and only partway through Jujutsu Kaisen. 12. The episode includes a weekly dad joke about the German word for constipation: “See far from pooping.” 13. Alvin jokes that the line should earn a hashtag dad response, while Ice reacts by calling it a strange bit of humor. 14. In What I Learned, Alvin says Pokemon was upset because ICE used its theme song in a deportation video. 15. He adds that Theo Vaughn said his words were taken out of context and told people they know where to send the check. 16. Alvin also talks about tariffs, shipping costs, and collectors being overcharged by some stores and companies. 17. The tone shifts quickly between casual banter, toy-specific debate, and loud joking, with both hosts interrupting each other often. 18. The format is loose and conversational, with long digressions into figures, shipping fees, and the ethics of buying collectibles. 19. Collectors who follow Billy Bob Thornton shows and action figures will get the most out of it. 20. Viewers who want tight editing or a single focused topic may skip it.
