·56 min·5 clips
Tim returns from Comic-Con fired up, while Roger fumes over missing a Dexter panel that might not even exist.
The episode opens with hosts Nick Scarpino, Tim Gettys, Blessing Adioye Jr., and Andy Cortez catching up. Tim shares his experience at San Diego Comic-Con, describing a renewed energy he hadn't felt since 2016, partly fueled by the success of 'Pokemon Go' that year. He recounts a funny misunderstanding where their colleague Roger thought there was a major Dexter panel due to sponsored lanyards. Tim details attending the Fandom party at the Hard Rock Hotel rooftop, where he saw celebrities like Jon Favreau and Simon Pegg mingling freely and enjoyed an All American Rejects concert, noting the band's recent resurgence through free house shows. The conversation shifts to recent superhero films. Nick reveals that both 'Superman' and 'Fantastic Four' have Rotten Tomatoes scores in the 80s, with 'Fantastic Four' at 87%. The hosts compare their viewings, with Tim having seen each movie three times. They debate which film they prefer, with Tim leaning towards 'Superman' for its surprise factor, while Blessing prefers the weightier tone of 'Fantastic Four'. The discussion touches on the films' third acts and the broader state of superhero cinema. A tangent leads to awkward stories about watching sexual content with parents, highlighted by Blessing's story about '1923'. Later, the group discusses viral pop culture moments, including the Coldplay concert scandal where Gwyneth Paltrow was involved in a marketing stunt for the band Astronomer, leading to widespread memes. They also talk about the new 'Avatar' trailer playing before 'Fantastic Four' and the trend of 'jet to holiday' sounds on TikTok. The episode wraps with casual banter about social media habits and upcoming content.
