Orange Sweaty and Dumb
Hey guys! As you know, Jake decided that we were going to do what he kept calling Trucktember, where we'd watch all the Michael Bay Transformers movies. Well he regretted that decision basically immediately after watching just one of the franchise. Let this be a lesson to you. Always recognize when it's time to quit. So we discuss how no one is likable in this movie, every single person except for John Voigt is orange, sweaty, and dumb, Sam Witwicky is the fastest and most indestructible man alive, the Autobots SUCK at being stealthy for rob...

Gather near the fire, stranger! We've a final tale to tell about the knights of old... Well, we did it. We finished Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog with episode 50 "Banished."

We discuss the magic cars, how Torq really hates Lougad, A new old man shows up out of nowhere, Maeve develops some pokemon moves, and Lougad finally chooses a side... Thanks for listening and hanging out with us through another not great series and the world falling apart. "There is such a th...

17 What About Tom
This week we watch "the Release" of season 2 of Animorphs. We discuss the nutritional value of crickets for humans, Visser 3 is remarkably chill about stuff, and Jake is the worst at hiding his superpowers. http://popculturefailure.podomatic.com popculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus

16 Ax, You The Mandalite
This week we watch The Leader part 2 of Animorphs. If you can believe it, we found some flaws in the plot. We discuss the lack of OSHA standards in space, how Solo: a Star Wars Story is 100% about fuel, IRL Jake explains why the yeerks suck so hard, and Sky is super wrong about when Marco gets his rattlesnake morph. http://popculturefailure.podomatic.com popculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus
