2021-08-101h 04Fight With Mike!AlienIn space, no one can hear you scream...but in a crowded movie theater in 1979, pretty much everyone can hear an 11 year old boy wetting himself in terror.
Why was an 11 year old watching one of the most terrifying R-rated films of all time that would give him nightmares for years? Because parents didn’t actually care what the hell their kids were watching back then.
In this episode, Mike and Andy are joined once again by Adam to embark on another multipart journey through the Alien franchise, starting with one of the most beloved Sci...
2021-02-021h 46Fight With Mike!Star Trek: TOS Part 3It had to happen...our young Andy is back at school. But, he’s still making time to nerd out with Dad!
This week brings us 3 more classic Star Trek episodes to talk about, this time from Season 2:
Amok Time
Mirror, Mirror
The Doomsday Machine
Season 2 is probably the high bar of TOS, and these 3 episodes are the tip of that ice-cream-cone-of-death.
Also, Mike and Andy vent their feelings a bit on the recent coup attempt in the US Capitol, the first time the Capitol has been breached since the War of 1812.
2021-01-191h 32Fight With Mike!Batman v Superman: Dawn of JusticeThis week Mike and Andy must face the harsh and brutal reality of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), pitting father against son in a fight to the end. Facing the first live-action film representation of DC’s Holy Trinity required assembling, for the first time, the Fight With Mike Trinity! Yes, we lassoed our own Wonder Woman, the lovely Megan Cico, to help us bridge our divide and face down the disastrously epic film that attempted to launch the DCEU in one bold stroke. Unfortunately, that stroke whiffed, losing the bat into the crowd and causing some serious dama...
2021-01-051h 54Fight With Mike!Psychopass Season 1Fresh out of the Nerd Lab! Mike’s anime education continues with Psychopass (Season 1), a surprisingly (to Mike anyway) sophisticated piece of dystopian science fiction that incorporates threads from several inspirations in the genre. Also, they discuss the apparent inability in this future to fake eyelids on human-like cyborgs.
So far, Mike’s trip through anime has been a mixed bag. How will Psychopass hold up for old man Mike? And if it doesn’t, will Andy keep making him watch anime?
Also, news! More than you can shake a stick at, as Disney announces metric tons o...

2020-12-141h 43Fight With Mike!Round 13 - Star Trek: TOSThis week, Andy pulls the old switcheroo and takes the helm, as the boys beam Star Trek: TOS into the lab for dissection. It's young Ensign Andy's maiden voyage on the USS Enterprise, with Captain Mike to bring him along. From a far-too-long-list Andy settled on the following episodes as his first TOS experience:
Where No Man Has Gone Before
Balance of Terror
Tomorrow is Yesterday

2020-11-091h 48Fight With Mike!Round 11 - Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal SkullThis week Mike and Andy brace themselves to endure the last of the Indiana Jones films, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008). Yes, nearly 20 years after the final outing, the gang is back for the final-final outing to bring Indy into the modern era...of 1957.
Ugh….Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Hard to believe that the Indiana Jones series has to go out on such a low note.

2020-10-261h 29Fight With Mike!Round 9 - Indiana Jones and the Temple of DoomDo not adjust your set! Fight With Mike! is back in your ears after only a week! Will the fun ever start?
This week our magical journey through the Indiana Jones series continues, this time with the not-so-magical Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984), the film that gave us the PG-13 rating!
This movie has issues, people. Some serious, serious issues. But, Andy and Mike refuse to be cowed, so donning their leather jackets and Fedoras and grabbing their bullwhips, they dive headfirst into what is considered by many to be one of the wors...
2020-10-121h 23Fight With Mike!Round 8 - Raiders of the Lost ArkJoin us, as we jump on our vintage pontoon plane, the John Williams music swells, and the animated travel map sequence begins chronicling our journey through the Indiana Jones films, the first in a 4-part series!
This episode, Mike and Andy go back into the nerd lab and begin drafting their love letter to the first film in the Indiana Jones series, Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981). Mostly it goes exactly as expected, except for one minor detail. Actually, it’s a pretty deal, and begins to cast a shadow on the whole affair by the end.
2020-10-051h 22Fight With Mike!Round 7 - JoJo's Bizarre AdventureCan you teach an old nerd new tricks? In this week’s episode, we decide to experiment with that.
Mike and Andy go into the nerd lab and dissect JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, an anime series currently on Netflix based on the Japanese Manga comics/graphic novels. Andy is convinced that if Mike gives it a chance, JoJos will worm it’s way into his brain, despite Mike’s well known-aversion to subtitles and long, drawn out inner monologues.
Will Mike be turned?
Will Andy forgive him if he doesn’t?

2020-09-211h 36Fight With Mike!Round 6 - The Star Wars Trilogies Wrapup Spectacular!In true Fight With Mike fashion, we intended a quick wrap up episode, but once you get a few nerds in a room talking....
In this episode, Andy and Mike welcome in Andy's younger brother Adam to do a final wrap up of the Star Wars arc, ranking the movies and trilogies. We also spend a little time talking about the first season of the podcast Blockbuster, an amazing show which centers around the beginning of the careers of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, and their impact on all of our childhoods. And, sadly, we discuss the tr...
2020-09-082h 12Fight With Mike!Round 2 - Suicide SquadIn round 2, Mike and Andy get to the issue that originally sparked the idea of the podcast, the 2016 DCEU film Suicide Squad. Star-studded (sort of) cast, big effects budget, and more wacky characters than you can shake a stick at. I mean, seriously. Waaaaay too many.
Suicide Squad is not a good movie (spoiler alert). But, is Suicide Squad just a bad movie? Or one of the worst movies ever made? Only the Fight With Mike! podcast dares to ask this question.
So get ready for another round of pulse-pounding, hard-hitting discussion on Fight....with Mike!

On this episode, the gang discusses what they’ve been doing to keep themselves entertained during this difficult time. Between movies, TV, board games, video games, music, and other personal improvement projects, Katherine, Mike, Joe, Andy (and joined by Todd and Jim) lay bare how t...

In this inaugural episode of Fight With Mike! we talk about how we came up with the idea for the podcast, what we plan to talk about generally, and our hopes fo...

After their lives took them in different directions over the past couple years, Mike and Andy catch up on this podcast, talking everything from how Andy got into music, the different bands...
