One More Marvel
This Is Rad!
Kyle and Matthew are joined one more time by one of our longest running regular guests Jeremy Scippio (@jeremycomedy). We have enjoyed being the mouthpiece for Jeremy's takes on the comic book world and our final episode does not disappoint. The boys look the MCU's place in 2025. A little worse for wear but in an interesting place. We'll give you that take in the episode notes because mostly Kyle and Jeremy fight about some dumb stuff about Spider-Man. Like, Jeremy takes a call, we come back, like 30 minutes goes by and then they get into it again. Don't worry, Burnside is riding along with...

Modern Sci-Fi

Mass Effect Episode Coda
This Is Rad!
Kyle and Matthew sit down for an after the episode intro. Don't think to hard about it. Matthew reviews he and Laura's recent trip to the Just Like Heaven festival. Laura finally got to see Rilo Kiley live! Vampire Weekend did a suite of super lame covers. This leads to chatting about watching bands phone a set it in. Kyle's almost done with the second issue of Huzzah! and has been watching a lot of vintage cartoons. Plus, life advice from Matt: Start a band, quit your podcast Weekly Rads: Kyle – The Amazing World of Gumball (show) Warhammer 40k Boltgun (game) Matthew...

Mass Effect
This Is Rad!
Oh boy folks, we've got a barn burner this week. Grant Bubar returns and is freed from the shackles of talking about music to talk about one of his true passions, the Mass Effect universe. He's got pages of notes folks. But wait, that's not all! Due to a series of unfortnuate events, Matthew was unable to make it to the IRL record. So, we're gonna do an additional episode later this week. That's right, this ep is four hours and it's not even a full episode. A shocking amount stays on task but there are also some real good bros talking about feelings around the three hour mark. But truly, they...
