The Brain Slug Podcast16: “Godzilla vs Kong” Review: The Audience is the Real WinnerAfter years of build-up and hype, “Godzilla vs Kong” finally stomped its way into our living rooms and theaters (and hearts) this past week to save us all from the pandemic! Hyperbole aside, we’re stoked to be talking about what’s bound to be the biggest film release of the year and the personal ways we each celebrated along the way. Should go without saying, but huge SPOILER ALERT for those of you that haven’t watched the film yet!2021-04-0959 minThe Brain Slug Podcast15: “Resident Alien”: Who’s The Killer, And More Than One Alien?Who really killed Sam Hodges? Is Harry really the only alien walking amongst us? Why won’t they give Linda Hamilton more lines? We’re figuring that out on today’s podcast as “Resident Alien” quickly speeds towards its season one finale on Syfy! This show is living rent free in our heads at the moments, so it’s only fair we break down and broadcast some of our wild fan theories to try and answer these pressing questions. Needless to say, spoilers ahead! 2021-03-2652 minThe Brain Slug Podcast14: “WandaVision Finale”: The MCU does “Pet Sematary”Another week, another Disney+ finale that somehow came out of nowhere! You know we’re gabbing about “WandaVision” on today’s episode, and if you’ve been on TikTok at any point in the last 8 weeks, you also know there is PLENTY to talk about. Where do the characters go from here? How does the finale set up future shows and movies? Was it really Agatha all along? (*Spoiler alert, it was crippling grief and depression.) We also ask what’s perhaps the most important question of all: What are all those TikTokers going to post about now that their main s...2021-03-121h 07The Brain Slug Podcast13: “Godzilla” Geek Out: The Showa YearsWhat’s your favorite Godzilla movie? Who’s your favorite monster? Chances are you have a quick answer to these questions if you grew up with Godzilla, but what about those of us that are barely starting our radioactive journey? We answer this and more on today’s episode as we kick off our “Godzilla vs Kong” coverage with a good ol’ fashioned Godzilla geek out with new and old fans alike. So wherever you fall on the Godzilla spectrum, we invite you to tag along and talk Godzilla with us, and with nearly 70 years of Godzilla to catch up on, we’ve...2021-03-051h 01The Brain Slug Podcast12: “Resident Alien”: The Best New Show You’re Not WatchingYou ever plan on watching a new show, but for one reason or another, you put if off until you eventually forget to watch it altogether? Well, Brain Slug’s here to make sure Syfy’s new show “Resident Alien” isn’t one of them, because it really is one of the best shows out there right now! So boot up those DVRs, pick up the comics, and tag along as we discuss why this show resonates so deeply with us. We also question whether Alan Tudyk is actually an alien living among us or not… we’re pretty sure he is. 2021-02-1951 minThe Brain Slug Podcast11: “Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous”: We Need More Cartoons Like ThisWhat do you call a blind dinosaur? What do you call a blind dinosaur’s dog? If either of these iconic dad jokes took you back on some dino- nostalgia fueled trip through memory lane, you’re in luck because today we’re talking Netflix’s “Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous”, the first animated series set within the “Jurassic Park” Cinematic Universe (coining that phrase right now). Take a listen as we break down why we love this show and why we wish more “kid’s cartoons” were given the same level of care in the writing room.2021-02-1246 minThe Brain Slug Podcast10: “Wandavision”: What the Heck is Going On? feat.

With Trump out (thank god) and Joe Biden in, we thought we’d honor what’s sure to be an intense day in the United States by talking about 1997’s “Air Force One” one of our absolute favorite movies over here at Brain Slug, and easily the best presidential film out there. Harrison Ford kicking terrorist ass on a plane. What’s not to love?

With Christmas and Patty Jenkin’s “Wonder Woman 1984” right around the corner (thanks HBO Max), we thought now would be the perfect opportunity to go back and revisit (or just plain visit in some cases) some of the earlier entries in the DCEU leading up to “Justice League”, focusing primarily on “Man of Steel” and “Batman v Superman.”2020-12-1852 minThe Brain Slug Podcast5: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: The Mandalorian Season 2 (so far)We’re halfway through season 2 of The Mandalorian on Disney+! That was fast, huh? Gotta love (or hate) that 2020 time. As such it was time for our planned mid-season review of everyone’s favorite single-space dad centered series, and of course we had thoughts (some louder than others). We discuss what we think is working, what isn’t, and brace ourselves for what’s bound to be a major moment in Star Wars history on this week’s coming episode. Everyone please try to have a pleasant Thanksgiving break (do as Mando does and wear a mask) and stay safe. Also...2020-11-251h 14The Brain Slug Podcast4: Film Scoring and Music feat.
