Jeffery Dean Morgan – World’s Best Media

PODCAST: Supernatural- The Series Finale Tribute!

Published on November 26, 2020 by theworldsbestblogwithpaulwrightLeave a comment

Hey Everyone,

Paul here…

“Saving people, hunting things. The family business.” The unofficial motto of The Winchester Family, as well as a damn good description of the series itself. After 15 epic seasons, the cult hit, Supernatural has come to an end. Sam and Dean Winchester are driving their 67’ Chevy Impala off into the sunset. Goddamn, I’m going to miss this show. More accurately I’m going to miss the show’s wonderful characters. While the series focused mainly on brothers Sam and Dean Winchester, driving around the backroads of America, hunting things that go bump in the night, as the series went on more characters began to populate the world of Supernatural. Like Castiel the fallen angel, Bobby Singer an older hunter and surrogate father to Sam and Dean, Crowley a crossroads demon who becomes King of Hell and has a soft spot for the boys, and Jack the half human/half angel son of Lucifer and surrogate son to Sam, Dean, and Castiel. Season by season, these characters would become just as beloved by fans as The Winchesters themselves.

Speaking of the fans, Supernatural has one of the most passionate and unique fan bases in entertainment. The producers and stars of the show understood that the passion of their fans was a large part of the show’s continued success. Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki who play Dean and Sam Winchester have a reputation for being unusually kind, open, and appreciative of their fans. This unique relationship has led to the fan base being referred to as the SPN Family. In a world where we far too often see celebrities behave like prima donnas, it’s nice to see actors who are genuinely respectful and grateful to their fans.

Supernatural was a series that I bonded over with a lot of great people, but really it was Big Paul Sr. and Ryan McDonald with whom I have the most fond memories of watching this series. So Ryan was kind enough to record a brief tribute, that you will hear about halfway through the episode. Then he touches on some thing that I wish we spoke about more in the main podcast which was some of the excellent performances given by the cast on this series. Not just the leads either, there were some incredible performances by the supporting cast as well. The series definitely deserved more recognition than it received for its risk-taking and innovative storytelling. After all, this is a series that had an animated crossover episode with Scooby-Doo and another episode featured Sam and Dean traveling to another dimension where they are actors Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, who star on a TV show called Supernatural. The show wasn’t afraid to get meta in some very fun and cool ways.

Some people might find this silly, but after 15 years saying goodbye to Supernatural almost feels like saying goodbye to an old friend. This is truly the end of an era. So on this episode of the podcast, we discuss what we loved about this long running genre series and what made it so special. How it’s themes of family, heroism, and sacrifice not only made a great television series, but inspired us in our everyday lives, as well. Ryan McDonald also makes a guest appearance with his own tribute to this beloved series. Throughout the podcast, we mention multiple scenes from the show’s 15 season run that stood out to us, below you will see I posted some of our favorites, so you can take a look at these fantastic moments that we mention in this episode. We also have some great behind-the-scenes video content looking back at the beginning of the show up until the grand finale, released by the The CW/Warner Bros. Television. It’s definitely fascinating stuff if you’re a fan of the show. Join us, as we say goodbye to Supernatural. Enjoy and in the immortal words of Kansas, “Carry on my wayward sons…” Thank you, Supernatural for all the amazing memories.

SUPERNATURAL: The Final Season (UPDATED!)

Published on November 7, 2020December 2, 2020 by theworldsbestblogwithpaulwrightLeave a comment

Hey Everyone,

Paul here…

(UPDATED: WITH NEW VIDEOS AND PHOTOS!)

Hey After 15 Seasons, more than than 1 apocalypse, and a shitload of dead monsters, Supernatural will be riding it’s ‘67 Chevy Impala off into the sunset…

With only a few episodes of Supernatural left, The CW has been sending off the long running and beloved series with the respect it deserves. TV GUIDE even put out a special edition of the magazine, commemorating the end of the fan favorite series…

This Special Edition Issue is now available on stands and online.

The CW has put together some excellent promotional material to psych up fans for the grand finale of one of the most successful shows in the history of The CW network. In particular, some fantastic behind-the-scenes videos have been released and I posted my personal favorites below.They put a spotlight on the show’s legacy, we get a look at how some of the most iconic running jokes and quirks on the show came to be, and the making of the final few episodes. Check them out:

Next up, I loved this new trailer that was released to get people hyped up for the two-hour series finale event. As an avid fan of the series, who’s been watching the show since Season 2, the nostalgia really hard. I’m certainly going to miss The Winchesters, Castiel, Bobby, Crowley and all the rest. However, as much as I’ll miss the show, I think it’s better that they’re going out on a relative high. Even in the later seasons they’ve been able to deliver some phenomenal episodes of television. How many shows with a 15 season run, are able to pull off consistently unique, entertaining, and engaging episodes? I’m sure it wasn’t easy, but Supernatural has been able to sustain its quality and I’m happy to see the series go out on a high note. Check out the trailer below…

They’ve released interesting images from the upcoming final episodes, including the return of some fan favorite characters

This behind-the-image features (L) Lisa Berry who plays the current incarnation of
speaking with episode director, (R) Richard Speight Jr. In addition to playing The Trickster AKA Archangel Gabriel, Speight Jr has directed 11 episodes of the series.

After this week’s gut wrenching episode, I honestly have no idea where things are going in the final 2 episodes. I do know that the next episode has been described as the “Season Finale”, wrapping up the season’s central conflict, while the final episode serves more as an overall “Series Finale”. Here are some cool images from nexts week’s episode, 15×19 “Inherit The Earth” (The “Season Finale” Episode), which shows the return of a major familiar face. This character’s presence could be the edge the boy’s need in their fight against Chuck. Take a look:

Yes, that is indeed Archangel Michael in his vessel Adam, Sam and Dean’s younger half brother. The fact that Adam and Michael have a seemingly symbiotic relationship that almost seems like a friendship, which is very rare for Archangels. This unique relationship has led many fans to dub character “Aichael”. Judging from the photos, he appears to be there to help, but I guess we’ll have to wait until next week to see. So what do you guys think are you excited for the final two episodes of Supernatural? Let me know in the comments below!

Supernatural: The Final Episodes

Published on September 11, 2020December 2, 2020 by theworldsbestblogwithpaulwrightLeave a comment

Hey Everyone,

Paul here…

All good things must come to an end. After 15 seasons, of of my favorite TV series, Supernatural is riding the old 67’ Chevy Impala into the sunset. It’s bittersweet, I’ve been following these characters for over 15 years now, that’s a huge chunk of my life. After that long you almost feel like you know these fictional people. So saying goodbye to Supernatural, is a little bit like saying goodbye to a friend. However, I also believe that great stories require great endings. So even though I feel like I could watch Sam and Dean Winchester drive around the country in Baby (their aforementioned 67’ Chevy Impala) and hunt the things that go bump in the night, for many more years to come, i’m glad that they’re wrapping up the story while it’s still strong. Bowing out while you’re still beloved is far better than overstaying you’re welcome. Remarkably, even after 15 seasons Supernatural is still a damn good show. I’ve often said that Seasons 3-5 of Supernatural are among the best seasons of television I’ve ever seen. With its unique and heartfelt storytelling, Supernatural will remain a classic among genre fans for years to come.

Whenever people tell me that they’ve heard great things about the show and want to check it out, but they find Supernatural’s lengthy run a little daunting. I usually tell them that the show is well worth it, but there’s a great alternative if you just want to dip your toes into the Supernatural universe. The show’s creator Eric Kripke (currently the showrunner on AmazonPrime’s The Boys) has said that he always envisioned Supernatural as a five season show. Seasons 1-5 are really one long narrative that wraps up perfectly in the Season 5 Finale. Everything in the show from the first episode on, culminates in the Season 5 Finale, which could have also served as a great series finale. So If you enjoy it and want to see more, you have another 10 seasons of the show to dive into. It’s kind of like Avengers: Endgame, even though we know that this universe and some of these characters are continuing on after this particular part of the saga, this is a definitive conclusion to the story that they told in the first five seasons of the series. And it is one hell of a Finale.

Seasons 6-10 are probably Supernatural’s weakest. Yet even at it’s lowest point, the series was never anything less than damn solid, with bright spots of brilliant episodes sprinkled throughout each of those seasons. However, something surprising and unusual, for a long running TV show, happened when the series returned for it’s 11th season. Supernatural achieved a second renaissance. The series was revitalized in its final seasons. With Seasons 11-13 in particular, the show returned to the glory days of it’s earlier years. It’s even more impressive because the show had a decade of storytelling behind it at that point. How many TV shows can say that they put out some of their very best content, after 10 years of storytelling? This is one of the many reasons that Supernatural has such a devoted fan base.

So far The Final Season, Season 15, hasn’t disappointed. With Sam, Dean, and of course their best friend and fallen angel Castiel, going up against God himself (though he prefers to go by Chuck). Because of the coronavirus, instead of getting the final episode this past spring the show will be returning to air it’s final episodes on October 8 on The CW. Supernatural is one of The CW’s most popular shows and has been a flagship series for the network. The Final Episodes of Supernatural are being treated as special event by The CW. Apparently the ending we’re getting to Supernatural will be slightly different than the one we would have seen last Spring. I’ve heard a few people on the show say, that the extra time allowed the writers and producers to fine tune The Final Episodes and work out any minor kinks. The longer Supernatural has to prepare for its grand finale the better. In a recent interview, Jensen Ackles who plays Dean Winchester explained that the penultimate episode serves as a season finale, with the final episode functioning as a series finale.

I can’t wait to see how it all plays out and I only became more excited when The CW put out these two new promos for the returning episodes, the final run of Supernatural. I’ve posted both of the trailers below for you to check out:

The finale episodes of Supernatural return October 8th on The CW

PODCAST: Is Michael Keaton Returning To Play Batman?!!!

Published on June 27, 2020December 1, 2020 by theworldsbestblogwithpaulwrightLeave a comment

Hey Everyone,

Paul here…

On this week’s episode of The World’s Best Podcast, Big Paul Sr. returns to the show for a sobering reminder of how aging can lead to a steep cognitive decline! More importantly, we cover the big news of the week: Michael Keaton may be returning to play Batman alongside Ezra Miller’s Flash, in the upcoming Flashpoint movie? The man who many people think is still the best to ever wear the cape and the cowl, returning to the role of The Dark Knight is extremely exciting!

Getting a Flash movie to the big screen has been an enormous struggle for DC and Warner Brothers. The film has already gone through multiple writers/directors and was originally scheduled for release more than two years ago. Barring anymore disasters, The Flash is going to be helmed by Andy Muschietti, who directed the recent hit horror films, IT and IT: Chapter Two. Despite all the drama behind the scenes, one thing has remain constant: The Flash film will be an adaptation of the seminal Flash storyline, Flashpoint.

Left: The Flash will be directed by Andy Muschietti, the filmmaker behind “IT” & “IT: Chapter Two”; Right: Art from Flashpoint, the story said to the focus of the upcoming Flash film.

Written by Geoff Johns with art by Andy Kubert, Flashpoint told the story of Barry Allen (The Flash) going back in time to prevent his mothers murder. However, changing this one event has dire and far reaching consequences that Barry never could have foreseen. Barry finds himself in a much darker and dangerous version of the DCU that he knows. Kind of like Back To The Future II. However, one of the most significant and interesting changes is revealed when Barry heads to Wayne Manor to seek out the help of his friend and fellow JL member, Batman. When Barry enters The Batcave, a nearly psychotic Batman attacks him. At which point Barry makes a horrifying discovery, the man underneath the bat cowl is actually Thomas Wayne, Bruce Wayne’s father! As a result of Barry‘s manipulation of the timeline, one of the major changes effected the creation of The Dark Knight on that fateful night in Crime Alley, in Gotham City all those years ago when The Wayne’s were attacked by a mugger. Bruce was now the one shot and killed, instead of his parents. So Thomas Wayne became Batman. A much more violent and unhinged Batman. Working together, Barry and Thomas Wayne set out to fix the timeline. That’s the set up.

The Batman (Thomas Wayne) of The Flashpoint timeline

This is just speculation on my part, but like a lot of comic book adaptations of specific stories, I think a lot of liberties will be taken with the source material with this Flashpoint film. A good example is Captain America: Civil War, that story was based on the miniseries Civil War and is vastly different from the source material. So what I think will happen is, maybe instead of an alternate timeline, Barry will enter an alternate universe, like the universe of Tim Burton’s Batman and that’s where he’ll meet and team up with Michael Keaton‘s Dark Knight. Maybe he travels to another alternate universe with Barry, I don’t know how it will work. But you can definitely see how they could fit Michael Keaton’s Batman into a story like this.

I know DC also wants to use Keaton in a role similar to Nick fury in the MCU, one example that’s been rumored suggests Keaton’s Batman showing up in a Batgirl movie. However, I think if DC and Warner Bros. want to do a film about a young Bat-themed hero, they would be crazy not to adapt Batman Beyond. It works perfectly, an older Bruce Wayne played by Keaton, training Terry McGinnis as the next Batman in futuristic Gotham City. It was a phenomenal TV series and it could be a phenomenal film series, as well.

Bottom line is, there a lot of thrilling possibilities with Michael Keaton returning to play Batman and all of them are exciting! We get into in all on this episode so, enjoy!

The Flash or Flashpoint (whatever they end up calling it) is currently set to hit theaters on June 3, 2022

Lastly, DC Animation did an adaptation of Flashpoint, called Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox. Not only is it one of their best animated films, it’s also one of my favorite superhero movies of all time, period. I highly recommend you checking it out, you can find it on iTunes and other streaming services and I have included a link where you can purchase Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox (for pretty damn cheap) on Blu-ray: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/justice-league-the-flashpoint-paradox-blu-ray-2013/9343093.p?skuId=9343093&ref=212&loc=1&ref=212&loc=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw3Nv3BRC8ARIsAPh8hgLwh_kLVKQR71iVmaxPM7yK8_G8RZxXtQSCwppslGvgdcOhDdynn2MaAjyHEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

2019 FALL TV PREVIEW (Prt.1): HBO’S WATCHMEN – A Behind The Scenes Look! SUPERNATURAL- The Final Season!

Published on September 14, 2019December 1, 2020 by theworldsbestblogwithpaulwrightLeave a comment

Hey Everyone,

Paul here…

Starting this week, World’s Best Media begins our 2019 Fall TV Preview! On our website, podcasts, and social media we’ll be covering all of the coolest new and returning shows on TV and Streaming for the rest of the month! Please let us know what you think of our coverage and what series you’d like to see us cover! For our first article we’ll be covering one of my most anticipated new shows and one my favorite returning series…

Watchmen – New Series (HBO)

HBO’s upcoming series Watchmen is, by far, one of my most anticipated film or television projects of the year. It comes to us from Damon Lindelof, the co-creator of LOST and the creator of The Leftovers. Despite some of the haters out there, I think Lindelöf is extremely talented storyteller. Here’s HBO’s official synopsis for the series:

“Set in an alternate history where masked vigilantes are treated as outlaws, Watchmen embraces the nostalgia of the original groundbreaking graphic novel of the same name, while attempting to break new ground of its own.”

Check out the new trailer here:

Despite any missteps taken throughout the series, I still believe LOST is on incredible achievement in long form storytelling. In fact, warts and all, it’s probably still one of my all-time favorite TV shows. So when I heard Lindelof was developing a Watchmen series for HBO I wasn’t that enthusiastic, but not for the reasons you might think.

When Zack Snyder released he is 2009 film adaptation of the classic graphic novel from Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, many felt that the film was too slavish to the source material. So I felt that after receiving an adaptation of Watchmen that was so close to the comic book, what more could this HBO series really say? Of course my assumptions were all wrong and the story Lindelof is telling isn’t a direct adaptation at all, but more of a sequel. While shrouded in mystery we do know certain characters and story elements like Laurie Jupiter, Mothman, Hooded Justice, Ozymandias, Doctor Manhattan, and even Dan’s Nightowl ship Archie are a part of the show.

While on the subject of the 2009 Watchmen, though flawed, I think Snyder’s take is ahead of it’s time and a truly excellent film. This is just my opinion, but I think it’s a great adaptation of a phenomenal comic book. Ironically my largest problem with the film, is the change that most people felt was necessary. I strongly felt that Ozymandias’ grand plan didn’t work, as presented in the movie. Veidt’s plan in the comics is a master stroke. Despite how insane it may seem, you can’t deny the twisted logic of it all: Show humanity a clear and present threat that is completely “other”, totally “alien” and it will bring the species together like never before for the sake of mutual survival.

The way Veidt’s attack went down in the graphic novel could in no way be mistaken for anything other than some type of alien invasion. He teleports a giant alien monster (that he spent billions to create using cloning and the minds of some of the world’s best artists) into the heart of New York City, the creature dies on arrival but not before telepathically kills millions of people. No one could mistake this catastrophe for a nuclear launch.

However, in the film Veidt blows up multiple major cities around the world (both in the U.S. and U.S.S.R.), using bombs he’s designed to mimic the energy signature of Doctor Manhattan. This is just as Russia and The U.S. are on the brink of full on nuclear war. My problem with this version of Ozymandias’ plan is that, in the graphic novel there’s no actual explosions that could in anyway be misconstrued for a bomb of any kind. Blowing up multiple major cities both in the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. seems incredibly risky considering how close to nuclear annihilation the world is at that moment. The success of his whole plan and the survival of the human race, rests on whether or not “the powers that be” will somehow take the time to analyze the energy signature and determine it’s from Doctor Manhattan. What if they just panic when one of the cities explode and one of the two superpowers launch there nukes? It seems like an awfully big gamble for the so called “smartest man in the world” to be taking. I think changing Veidt’s plan in the films takes away from it’s genius and ultimately hurts the film, fortunately it looks like the the HBO series is sticking with the graphic novels version of events in this department. With Oscar Winner Jeremy Irons taking on the role of Adrian Veidt, I cant fucking wait to see what role he plays in the series. I can’t imagine a man like him sitting on the sidelines…

Regardless, that’s just my two cents on a Watchmen film we’ve already seen. This new series has nothing to do with the 2009 film. As you’ll see in the new trailer and behind the scenes video below, it’s almost a quasi-sequel to the classic graphic graphic novel. As a weekly comic book reader, I’m really primed for a story like this. DC Comics has been doing a lot with the Watchmen characters lately with fantastic stories like Before Watchmen and the incredible Doomsday Clock, DC’s own quasi-sequel to Watchmen. Unlike some other fans, after reading spectacular comics like Doomsday Clock, Watchmen isn’t the sacred cow to me that it may be for some other fans.

The past few years have shown me that excellent stories with the characters and world of Watchmen can be told without Alan Moore. I’m pretty sure Dave Gibbons, Watchmen’s artist is involved with the show in some capacity. The cast looks great and I’d like the creative team involved a lot. HBO is the perfect network for something like this, but check out this very cool behind the scenes video below and judge for yourself. It sheds a little more light on exactly what’s going on with this series…

Watchmen premieres on HBO on October 20th.

Supernatural: The Final Season

New Poster Supernatural – Season 15
(L-R): Misha Collins as Castiel, Jared Padalecki as Sam, Jensen Ackles as Dean and Alexander Calvert as Jack Credit: The CW

The returning show I wanted to talk about today is this one of my all-time favorite television shows. A series I have written about here on the site and has been brought up on the podcast so often, it’s a bit of a running joke. I am of course referring to none other than Supernatural. The hit CW series is heading into its 15th and final season in October. Though the fans and The CW network were more than happy to allow the show to continue pretty much as long as the creative team involved wanted, Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki, who plays Sam and Dean Winchester wanted to show to go out on a high note. So it is tough as it is to say goodbye to the boys and characters like Castiel, as long time, fan I’d rather see the show go out in a blaze of glory than whimper across the finish line.

Courtesy of EW.com, are the first official photos from Season 15. The pictures are definitely from the first or second episodes of the season because last time we saw them, The Winchesters and Castiel were up shit’s creek surrounded by a fucking horde of zombies. Not to mention all the other monsters and spirits Chuck freed from Hell, which was a really dick move. I think it’s a safe bet The Boys make it out of this situation in one piece, but that victory will be short lived. Because when it come to The Winchesters and company nothing’s ever easy or simple. Hey, shit happens when you piss of an all powerful cosmic entity that gets off on toying with people’s lives. Check it out…

We don’t know a ton about the final season (man, that sucks to write), but one thing we’ve heard from the cast is that dead means DEAD. In the past, this is a show that’s seen a lot of resurrections. Hell, Sam and Dean themselves have died literally dozens of times. So expect a lot more finality when one of the characters checks out this season. Below you can check out a brief trailer, but damn if it doesn’t make me excited!

It also appears that the final season will be seeing a lot of returning characters. Already confirmed are, of course, Chuck, Amara, Adam Winchester, Bobby Singer, Ellen Harvell, and that’s just to name a few. Expect to see some of The Winchester’s oldest friends and worst enemies show up before the series ends. Finally I have an interview with Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki talking about what sans can expect from the 15th in the final season especially in the first few episodes.

Man, it’s gonna be tough to see this one go, we posted a few more images below. The Final Season of Supernatural begins on October 10th on The CW

PODCAST: Cult Hit SUPERNATURAL Reaches 300th Episode!

Published on February 11, 2019November 25, 2020 by theworldsbestblogwithpaulwrightLeave a comment

Hey Everyone,

Paul here…

92CF56A9-FB04-496C-98BB-FF1CE8F6F483 — From L to R: Sam, Dean, & Castiel (Misha Collins) having a few laugh on “Baby”, their trusty ‘67 Chevy Impala

“Saving people, hunting things. The family business.” For 14 Seasons, that’s been the motto of Brother’s, Sam and Dean Winchester (played by actors Jared Padelecki and Jensen Ackles respectively). Driving around in “Baby”, their 67 Chevy Impala, they’ve faced off against pretty much everything that goes bump in the night. Ghosts, demons, demigods, The Apocalypse (A couple a’ times), vampires, black magick, Djinn, Angels, Lucifer, even God himself and that doesn’t even scratch the surface. Supernatural is one of the most underrated, well acted, creative, scary, fun, and bat-shit crazy shows on TV.

The good new for fans is that there’s no sign of slowing down. The long running CW series has already been picked up for it’s 15th Season. This week Supernatural reached its 300th episode. A gigantic achievement in itself and when it hits Season 15 later this year, it will be one of top 15 longest running scripted series in the history of television. Needless to say, it’s a special milestone for the cast, the crew, and the fans. Consistent with the magnitude of reaching 300 episodes, the show came out swinging with something special for the fans. The series usually does something special to make a big deal of their milestones episodes like their 100th or the 200th episodes, usually something for the fans, but this year could be their best yet.

Jeffery Dean Morgan who played John Winchester, Sam and Dean’s father, for the first two seasons of the show, with a minor appearance in season 3, finally returned to the series for episode 300. Even though the character of John Winchester has been dead for over 10 years now, anyone who has an even passing familiarity with the show will realize that doesn’t matter a whole hell of a lot in the world of Supernatural. Morgan has been wanting to return for guest appearances on the show for years but scheduling had been difficult because he’s become an increasingly popular actor since he left Supernatural.

John and Mary finally reunite after decades apart.

But he never forgot his roots. He stayed in touch with the cast and crew and frequently discussed in interviews how he’d love to return to the show and it was just a matter of finding the time. So it’s pretty damn cool to have John Winchester back, even if it’s just for one episode. He’s such an iconic character, who is so important in the show’s mythology. There’s a great little joke from a few seasons ago, at the beginning of one episode, Sam and Dean come back from a hunt, covered in the blood and guts of god knows whatever they’d been killing the night before. As they walk into the room, we see that Dean is carrying “Lucille” : a baseball bat, wrapped in barbed wire that is the infamous weapon used by Jeffery Dean Morgan’s character Negan on the AMC series The Walking Dead. Dean puts “Lucille”, which is covered in blood and guts, right down on the table and says “Man, Dad used to love this thing.” It’s moments like this, that make people love Supernatural.

FA8480B5-6D63-467D-9736-86D489323232 — Hmmm, that bat looks awful familiar…

A relatively small amount few shows, even good ones, make it past their first season. Hell, most “hit” shows if they’re lucky, get about five seasons. The secret to Supernatural’s success is that, even though it’s not a ratings giant compared to other huge shows on other larger networks, it’s one of the most solid performers on The CW. It also has a very passionate fan base. Supernatural’s fans are among the most unique and devoted in the geek community. Which is something that the stars of the show, Jensen Ackles and Jared Padelecki, fully recognize. All of the main actors on the show are known for being notoriously grateful and gracious when dealing with fans in real life

Any series running as long as Supernatural is bound to have its highs and lows, but over 15 years, they have an astonishing level of consistency. That’s pretty damn impressive. At it’s best, Supernatural has produced some of the best seasons of television I’ve ever seen. I know that a bold statement, but there are 3 or 4 seasons that would be in my top 25 best television seasons of all time list. Even at its worst, there’s never been an episode Supernatural of that’s anything less than solid.

That show’s excellence largely comes from the great writing and the talent and the charisma of the leads on the series. All of the main actors are overlooked far too often and the talent on display in this series isn’t recognized enough. I do you have to tip my hat to Entertainment Weekly because the magazine has frequently done cover stories on Supernatural.

Hey Everyone,

Paul here…

I swore we’d never do another episode on The Walking Dead… (sigh)… But here we are, with an episode all about the season premiere of The Walking Dead! Because I am. A. Fucking. Idiot. This show punches me in the dick and I say “Thank you, sir! May I have another?!”. When will I fucking learn?

On the bright side, this is a really fun episode that I think you’re going to love. We have the original walking dead man, Paul Sr. Co-hosting and the sparks fly! We do a kind of commentary/recap/review of the Season 9 premiere of The Walking Dead. We do an in-depth analysis of the series past, present, and future. As well as some insight into how the comic book and the TV series diverge and overlap. What’s going on with Rick, Negan, and the whole Walking Dead gang? Do we even care? How many times can I get words The Walking Dead into one synopsis? Find out right here!

We’ve never done an episode quite like this one, so don’t miss it! We had a blast recording it, so we hope you enjoy listening! Listen here or subscribe on Stitcher and iTunes:

Hey, Everybody

With the mid-season premiere of The Walking Dead on Sunday night, we had to cover how the series dealt with the monumental fallout from its mid-season finale. Most of it sucked, I didn’t want to do it, but I was reminded that we covered the last big Walking Dead ep, so we should probably cover this one. No that that’s over with IM OUT! YOU WILL NOT GET ME BACK WITH YOUR SHITTY WRITING AND TRICKS, THE WALKING DEAD!!! FUCK THIS SHOW! Please enjoy our episode 😀
