'House of the Dragon' Season 3 Finale: All Falls Down
2026/08/10
Turns out the walls did in fact come tumbling down. With a story this vast and a team this strong, 'House of the Dragon' Season 3 just had to go out with a bang, didn't it? And Ebube shows up to be king of the ashes with Afam and Soonen at his side — Team Red? For the final episode of the season, the trio evaluates the story choices that defined the season's character arcs (1:18:08), but first, they of course sift through what might just be the show's most ambitious battle till date: The Treasons at Tumbleton (50:18). Before that though, they run through Rhaenyra's rap sheet (22:20), praise Tom Glynn-Carney's comedic genius (1:41), rue Ulf's decisions (38:12), and get into whole lot more. We are SO gonna miss this show, man. You can support us here.Also available on YouTube. Host: Ebube UbochiGuests: Afam and SoonenProduction by: Ebube Ubochi
'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' Delivers a Brand New Spider-Man?
2026/08/06
Plus a whole lot of Spider-Depression! Bankole's arachnoid genes are mutating. Before he goes full spider though, Oseghale & Tateyana have joined him to discuss Tom Holland's latest spider-romp, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton. Should Spider-Man be tipped? Was Magneto correct? Where does this rank in the Spider-Man franchise? They attempt to answer all that and more, while hopefully not creating the bane of mutant existence *cough* *cough*!

'House of the Dragon' Season 3, Episode 7: DragonBall Super
2026/08/03
Okay so... What are we actually doing here? In light of a semi-baffling narrative reversal in the way of character competence — plot coherence too perhaps — Ebube invites Afam and Soonen for some much needed analysis, and to figure out if 'House of the Dragon' still knows what it's doing this season They start by discussing Aegon’s new path to resurrection (2:27) and proceed to dissect the episode’s themes as well as litigate Rhaenyra’s competence as a ruler (21:15) and give Mysaria a quarterly review she might not like (26:16). They of course also try to make sense of the generational dragon mosh pit that left them with several questions (31:11), before trying to decipher Helaena’s dreams (1:00:34) and watch the weird inhabitants of Tumbleton at work (1:09:12). Does this penultimate episode work? You can support us here.Also available on YouTube. Host: Ebube UbochiGuests: Afam and SoonenProduction by: Ebube Ubochi
