Even More Mashed-up

Phase 5 of the MCU kicks off with Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania, but does it reach the heights the best of the MCU or shrink from the challenge of getting the film universe back on track? Allan and Patrick discuss this as well as the film's basis, for good or ill (but mostly ill), in sci-fi tropes relating to race and imperialism, and more!  

Whether Valentine's Day left you deeply in love or broken-hearted, we've got the show for you. We cover the best candies, "Romance" movies, pop culture quotes about love, and the best ideas for Valentine's Day dates, and many other topics. So let Cupid's arrow strike and make you fall in love with us all over again on our latest episode!

It's the return of Benoit Blanc--or, at least, our discussion of the return of Benoit Blanc. We turn our investigative eye to Rian Johnson's Glass Onion, the sequel to Knives Out, and determine if its a worthy successor to the first film while also talking a bit about classic detectives in literature, film, and television!

We are back and kicking off a the second half of our season with a discussion of Netflix's adaptation of Don DeLillo's novel White Noise. Will our hosts find the film successful or an unmitigated disaster? The answer awaits on this episode!!

It’s our 200th Episode and our 2022 Holiday Special in one! This year, we suggest another batch of inappropriate Hallmark ornaments, discuss various holiday traditions, and do a deep dive into Podcasts of Holidays Past with the Even More Mashed Up Christmas Christmas Quiz!

Things are going to be a little bit...weird on this episode of the podcast, as we talk about Roku's satirical biopic on Weird Al Yankovic: "Weird," featuring Daniel Radcliffe and a host of others!

It's that time of the year, and Marvel brings us The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special on Disney+! Allan and Patrick discuss the highs and lows of the special before addressing recent rumors about changes to a number of planned Disney+ series, in a game we (okay, Patrick) likes to call "Film, One-Shot, or Kill!"

The show returns to discussing the now-completed Star Wars: Andor series, and who better to join us than everyone's favorite Star Wars Extended Universe fan: Rich, making his first return as a guest on the show! We'll talk insurgencies, fascism, prisons, and the cuteness of droids--this episode has it all!!

Did you eat too much for Thanksgiving Dinner? Need a break from awkward conversations with distant relatives? Why not kick back and listen to the latest episode of the podcast? We're talking about this year's finalists and inductees into the Toy Hall of Fame, and its a banner year--unless you're Allan, in which case, this might be the most rage-inducing Hall of Fame yet!

It's found both popular and critical acclaim but how do Allan & Patrick feel about Black Panther: Wakanda Forever? The film closes out Phase 4 of the MCU, but does it do anything to resolve the muddled results of the films since Avengers: Endgame? Does it do justice to both African and Indigenous communities in its depiction of Wakanda and Talocan? And how do we feel about Namor's ankle wings? These--and other questions--will be answered in this week's episode!

It's a little bit late, but...Happy Halloween! Patrick finally managed to scare up the time to watch What We Do in the Shadows (well, some of it!) as Allan has been haunting him to death to do for so long it feels like an eternity!!

Do we smell what The Rock/Dwayne Johnson is cooking in Black Adam, the latest film from the troubled DCEU? Where does Black Adam fall within the pantheon of superhero films? Do we continue to languish in the "post-peak-superhero" era? The answer to these questions and many more you may or may not have been asking await!

The latest MCU Disney+ series just wrapped up its first season, so it's time to judge if She-Hulk: Attorney-at-Law is held in contempt or if we decree it a success! Witness as Allan & Patrick play judge, jury, and executioner (well, maybe not that last one) on the show's guest stars, treatment of gender and feminism, and narrative choices! The jury's out until Even More Mashed Up renders its verdict!

Technical difficulties may have delayed us this week, but nothing can keep us from talking about the first batch of episodes in Star Wars: Andor! We talk about this gritty and deeply political take on the Star Wars universe as well as the cannibalistic tendencies of Ewoks!

Is season one of Netflix's Sandman a dream or a nightmare? Join us as we talk about the show, the comic, the show versus the comic, and whatever else we can dream up as we try to answer that question!

It's time for "Back to School!" We're back on campus and talking about this past year's breakout hit, Abbott Elementary!!

After a long hiatus, the show is moving back into the studio to be face-to-face. Unfortunately, with Rich living in another state, this also means that he will no longer be running tech for the show. Expect him in the future as a special guest on certain topics! Live Streams of Tabletop RPGs Twitter Youtube Facebook Instagram
