Stuff About The Batman | Season 2 | Episode 18
Monday Apr 18, 2022
Monday Apr 18, 2022
Spoiler Alert!!
In this episode, Dad and Aiyanah do their standalone episode without Aurieanah. Don't worry, she'll be back in the next one. Anyway, this is the episode where we learn that Dad has been watching some form of Batman most of his life and because of this, he thinks he's a philosophical expert on the plight of Gotham City. Also, Aiyanah may or may not have had the beginning stages of a cold and makes sniffle noises throughout. Feel free to make a game out of it, similar to her bird noises in the Hawkeye episode. We also learned that Dad watched the Twilight movies in his downtime on deployment in 2011. Lastly, some strange feedback happens at about the 15:30 mark. Don't worry, it's not too distracting but it may be the kick in the pants Dad needs to buy a new podcast recording kit.
Tune in for this season 2 penultimate episode!
Correction: Aiyanah said The Batman is on HBOMax on April 19th, but its actually available there on April 18th...Enjoy!

Stuff About Hawkeye | Season 2 | Episode 17

Spoiler Alert!!
In this episode, we finally get around to talk about Hawkeye. We were in rare form when we recorded this so here's a few things to be aware of in this episode:
1. Aiyanah makes bird noises throughout the entire episode for no good reason. We suggest that you make a game out of it.
2. Aurieanah still doesn't like Loki.
3. Dad had a very bad headache.
4. A discussion about silverware and cutlery was not edited out.
5. Aurieanah calls Clint's quiver a "backpack thingy" and uses "sciencey" as a verb.
6. Aiyanah at one point sniffs dad and says he smells like man, but it's not a compliment.
7. Dad notices that Aurieanah's fingertips bend, and this does not get edited out at Aiyanah's request.
8. There is an Agents of SHIELD tangent that will almost make you think the episode is about Agents of SHIELD....but it's not. We promise.
This one is for sure full of "dumb stuff". Listen in!

Spoiler Alert!
Aiyanah sits this one out, so Aurieanah and Dad get to nerd out on Star Wars! During this extended episode, Aurie surprises herself by being good at metaphors and has some stuff to say about Episode I of the Skywalker Saga. Plus, Dad and Aurie disagree about Rey, but agree that the Jedi just suck. There may be a part II to this one, but in the meantime, take a listen!
By the way, we made a mistake and called Daisy Ridley, Daisy Reed....our bad.
Also, shout out to Star Wars Theory...educated us a lot, you have.

Spoiler Alert!!!
It's been a looooong time coming, but in this episode, we finally talk about the MCU masterpiece, Loki. Aiyanah and Dad really enjoyed it but Aurieanah...let's just say, it's not her favorite. She has strong feelings about some of the character interactions. Plus, we talk about possibly doing some merch at some point...maybe. This one is a doozy...take a listen!
