Season 3 of The Boys has started on Amazon Prime Video and that show knows exactly what it wants to be. They dial up the violence, the gore, and the foul language but is it good? Listen in to find out. We also are lucky to bring you another High Brow, High Brian segment in which Brian muses about the definition of science fiction in cinema. Find out why Severence (Apple TV+) qualifies and may be the best sci-fi show streaming at the moment.

We can never escape the sands of Tatooine because Disney has to get its money's worth from the sets they built and because Obi-Wan loves to spy on a little boy through binoculars. That's not creepy at all Obi-Wan. Totally normal behavior. Anyway, the first three episodes dropped and it's largely been a pleasant surprise. Listen to find out what works, what doesn't, and why we felt the need to brutally critique a 10 year old actress. Hopefully you listen to our show before watching episode 4, 5, and 6. The Confidently Wrong crew reacts to the end of Moon Knight, especially the last couple of episodes. There was some great moments, some weird moments, and some confusing moments. And when push comes to shove, Wesley asks the panel to stick to whole numbers and they literally cannot do it. Decimals abound for no reason. Listen in to find out what parts were waxing and what parts were waning. Yeah, that's a bad moon analogy.Don't forget to subscribe and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!Twitter: @confidently_podInstagram: @confidently_podWebsite: https://confidentlywrong.simplecast.comCredits:Hosted by: Wesley Nakamura, Mike Smith, Brian Redondo, Savon JonesEdited by: Wesley NakamuraTheme Music: Implied Authority by Bass ElfLink: https://soundcloud.com/bass_elf_music

Doctor Strange may be the most fundamentally flawed character in the MCU right now. Listen to the show to find out what our problem with him is and how his latest installment into the Marvel Cinematic Universe is flawed, in our esteemed opinion. And while Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness did some cool stuff, it left most of us feeling like it needed more time to bake.

All four hosts are back on the pod. This week we had a chance to unravel the mummified linens and summon the analysis as we share our reactions to the first two episodes of Moonknight on Disney+.

Wesley and Savon run the two-man fast break but find out they are completely and hilarious incompatible as teammates when it comes to fashion vs. function in the metaverse. The first half of the show we get into breaking down the new Ms. Marvel trailer and then we update each other on our experiences with Horizon Forbidden West and Elden Ring. But make sure you stick around for what happens in the second half. They say styles make fights. Well styles make fights about styles, also. We're just going to have to agree to disagree.

The new Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney+ put out a new trailer filled with some great details. We talk about what we expect to see and why we're excited (or not) for the show to come out in May. We also revisit Horizon Forbidden West and compare it directly to a great new game, Elden Ring.

#059 He's Still A Vampire In This (The Batman)In a long anticipated movie the Caped Crusader returns to the big screen in a post-Snyder and post-Affleck world.

Hawkeye's Disney+ story comes to end, at least for now. Did it strike the bullseye or miss the mark? The Book of Boba Fett is just getting started but the guys have some lingering doubts after seeing the first couple of episodes. And lastly, the What We're Loving takes a turn when the guys realize the extent to which Wesley's memory is just nonexistent.

Wesley brings on friend of the show BK to talk about how he sees the XBox Series X and Series S state of affairs. He wants us to consider if Microsoft can win the console war by losing the console war. Listen in to find out how. We also learn that the Matrix trilogy was a masterpiece (Editors Note: This is untrue.) and that it is possible to produce a podcast that requires no bleeping.

Savon trolls us with his latest Starting 5. The phrase "nuts crust" is said with complete sincerity. MCU's latest show, Hawkeye, debuted on Disney+ and we get hyper fixated on LARPing.

Savon literally complains about the weather during his chance to talk about What We're Loving and Mike astutely points out that AAA games will be something to look forward to in 2022 on the Next Gen Consoles minutes after proving that he's a 48 year old at heart.

Brian checked out Eternals in theaters and we pepper him with questions about whether it's hot or a flop. Get his non-spoilers thoughts in the first half of the show. We also tried to digest all of the fanfare from Disney Plus Day, including shows that caught our attention and whether Hayden Christensen can find redemption. Savon even tells us he's "hyped," but as per usual, sounds mildly curious.Twitter: @confidently_podInstagram: @confidently_podWebsite: https://confidentlywrong.simplecast.comCredits:Hosted by: Wesley Nakamura, Mike Smith, Brian Redondo, Savon JonesEdited by: Wesley NakamuraIntro Music: Energetic Upbeat by WinnieTheMoogLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/6033-energetic-upbeatLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseOutro Music: Classical Metal Workout by MusicLFilesLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/7525-classical-metal-workoutLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license

It takes a lot of guts to be a fan of something and completely disagree with the fanbase. Mike builds up the courage to do so in What We're Loving. Savon talks about this love/hate with the NBA 2K franchise, Wesley enjoys having someone cook for him, and Brian think National Parks are a waste of resources. We also try to diagnose what worked and what didn't in Marvel's recently concluded What If... series.

We're not just pretty faces, we use our brains to unpack the layers upon layers of messaging encased within the latest binge-worthy show from Netflix. Squid Game proves capable of being an incredible watch with ridiculously high tension, while also holding a mirror up to society.

We share what we're loving right now including a grocery store, a show, NBA pre-season, and a ps5 game! Then Savon somehow manages to put together the worst starting 5 of all time - describing his favorite NFL team brands. The opinions expressed on this show are solely the opinions of their respective owners and does not represent the view of Confidently Wrong. Mostly because of how wrong Savon is. 1:23 - NBA Pre-Season5:23 - Trader Joe's11:20 - Reservation Dogs18:17 - Mare of Easttown and Deathloop34:30 - Savon's Starting 5 NFL BrandsTwitter: @confidently_podInstagram: @confidently_podWebsite: https://confidentlywrong.simplecast.comCredits:Hosted by: Wesley Nakamura, Mike Smith, Brian Redondo, Savon JonesEdited by: Wesley NakamuraIntro Music: Energetic Upbeat by WinnieTheMoogLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/6033-energetic-upbeatLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseOutro Music: Classical Metal Workout by MusicLFilesLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/7525-classical-metal-workoutLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license

The fully Confidently Wrong crew is back together and we stroke lightsabers for a great conversation about Star Wars Visions, a new short-format anthology series on Disney+.

Between Covid and Hurricanes, only one of us was able to see Shang Chi in theaters so Brian gives us the low down on how much cringe Marvel's kung fu flick imparts. No spoilers in that discussion. After that we all get to appreciate just how delicious the animation and storytelling is in Marvel's Disney+ series What If...? A couple spoilers in the What If...? discussion. Also, there's a moment around 7:35 where we bust up laughing. Brian's connection dropped and he got frozen hilariously in mid-knowledge bomb drop.

We answer some questions submitted by listeners and end up learning about Smash Bros socializing, drooling over Brian K Vaughan, and Savon's refusal to send thank you cards. But the biggest news is that we talk about actual books we've actually read. For a bunch of illiterate goofs, we managed to work in some real thoughts on real books. We're just as shocked as you are.Twitter: @confidently_podInstagram: @confidently_podWebsite: https://confidentlywrong.simplecast.comCredits:Hosted by: Wesley Nakamura, Brian Redondo, Savon JonesEdited by: Wesley NakamuraIntro Music: Energetic Upbeat by WinnieTheMoogLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/6033-energetic-upbeatLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseOutro Music: Classical Metal Workout by MusicLFilesLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/7525-classical-metal-workoutLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license

We take a look at DC's newest blockbuster, The Suicide Squad, and discuss everything from whether or not it's charting a new (better?) course for the DCEU to the possibility of a return for Will Smith's Deadshot. It was a silly and fun and nonsensical 2 hour thrill ride. But does that mean we liked it or hated it? And if you want to hear of a new food we invented, make sure you listen for Wesley's food analogy starting around 7:10 in the episode.

Captain Vonnie pilots our podcast star ship down memory lane and puts together his Starting 5 of Swaggy animated villains.

Loki might well have been Marvel's strongest effort to date on the Mouse's streaming service, but are there unintended consequences to this new avenue of storytelling? Mike also brings us a new segment called "S**t Mike Hates." Beware! This episode has some cursing (all curses are bleeped out, but still, this is probably not a kid-friendly one).Twitter: @confidently_podInstagram: @confidently_podWebsite: https://confidentlywrong.simplecast.comCredits:Hosted by: Wesley Nakamura, Mike Smith, Brian Redondo, Savon JonesEdited by: Wesley NakamuraIntro Music: Energetic Upbeat by WinnieTheMoogLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/6033-energetic-upbeatLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseOutro Music: Classical Metal Workout by MusicLFilesLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/7525-classical-metal-workoutLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license

We get together to share What We're Loving (TM) as individuals. Listen in to hear why you should be checking out the Corridor Crew, Clarkson's Farm, Desus and Mero, and Rick and Morty. We definitely absolutely did not record this a couple weeks ago and try and release it today as if it's brand new. Definitely not. Enjoy this fresh, just recorded episode.In the episode, Wesley references a podcast that interviewed the stunt coordinator/fight choreographer from Warrior (Brett Chan).

Mike points out that eye rolling is to be expected in a seemingly forced romantic story-line for Loki, but that it makes total sense. Loki is a narcissist. We ask Savon if his view of the show has changed after 5 episodes. We also find so many bits of magic and brilliance and share them with you.

In a classic Confidently Wrong episode, we share What We're Loving (TM) and do some brief dissections on recent announcements: Battlefield 2042 and Tesla's Model S Plaid. Yes, the Tesla name is terrible, but is there something redeeming about the latest Musk Mobile? One of us got in his feelings and it's all to your benefit, dear listeners (100% it was Mike) .

In what might be the most anticipated Marvel story of 2021, we catch up with the God of Mischief himself, Loki, after he escaped from the Endgame timeline using the Tesseract (the security around that thing is, shall we say, lacking). Listen to find out what we liked, what we're wondering, and how we interpreted the 70s aesthetic straight out of your Lola's living room (sans plastic covering the furniture). In the last third of the show, we get our first impressions of the new Ratchet and Clank. What does Mike think of this new effort from Insomniac Games and should you buy it? All will be answered in due time, young padawan. Paciencia Y Fé.

We talk about all the things were excited for this summer, including Marvel stuff, PS5 games, comics, and more! We also discuss whether DC can pull off something they've shown no aptitude for to date: a compelling and insightful story brought to life by talented film makers. Will this be their success story or is this just a tokenization cash grab? Listen and let us know what you think!Twitter: @confidently_podInstagram: @confidently_podWebsite: https://confidentlywrong.simplecast.comCredits:Hosted by: Wesley Nakamura, Mike Smith, Brian Redondo, Savon JonesEdited by: Wesley NakamuraIntro Music: Energetic Upbeat by WinnieTheMoogLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/6033-energetic-upbeatLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseOutro Music: Classical Metal Workout by MusicLFilesLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/7525-classical-metal-workoutLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license

You might think we had nothing to talk about so we did a mail bag episode. Not so. This was a chance to connect with those of you who have been talking to us about the pod and giving us your own takes. We received great questions and we yoked some moon shots into the upper deck. Just call us Karl Malone because we delivered. Send in your questions and we'll try to answer them. Caution to all Pelicans fans, we spend a little bit of time talking about the 2021 MVP, Julius Randle. And as the show title implies, we try to figure out who Savon would actually be impressed by. Listen to find out who we picked and who he thinks he would get him weak in the knees.Hosted by: Wesley Nakamura, Mike Smith, Brian Redondo, Savon JonesEdited by: Wesley Nakamura--------------------Intro Music: Energetic Upbeat by WinnieTheMoogLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/6033-energetic-upbeatLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseOutro Music: Classical Metal Workout by MusicLFilesLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/7525-classical-metal-workoutLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license

The Knicks making the playoffs for the first time in a long time is the backdrop for this glorious episode that doesn't have anything to do with Jimmy Dolan's third favorite hobby. Only one of us is a Knicks fan and that fan is going to be distracted because the Knicks were playing an important game while we were recording. You didn't come here for an NBA update, though, did you? In this week's show, we're bringing new, and impatient, insights into Breath of the Wild and one of us blew all of our allowance on Invincible Comics. In the second half of the show we discuss our initial impressions of the Bad Batch, a new Star Wars animated series. One of us didn't get the memo that we were trying to get the Mickey Dollars and poo poos it a bit. Find out who in the show.Time stamps:2:02 - Wesley plays Breath of the Wild 12:42 - Brian relays his experience with the Invincible comics23:18 - The Bad Batch-----------------------------------------Hosted by: Wesley Nakamura, Mike Smith, Brian Redondo, and Savon JonesEdited by: Wesley NakamuraMusic CreditsIntro Music: Energetic Upbeat by WinnieTheMoogLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/6033-energetic-upbeatLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseOutro Music: Classical Metal Workout by MusicLFilesLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/7525-classical-metal-workoutLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license

In one of the craziest plot twists, we find out that Savon has missed out on a must-watch game and a must-watch movie. All of our minds are completely blown. Savon may have to record next show from the dunce cap station. Unbelievable. In the second half of the show we talk about a game that is sometimes described as one of the best games ever made: Legends of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Listen in to hear more about the incredible vibes served up the game.

This episode will have spoilers. We talk about the magnificent first season of Invincible. Despite the animation being less polished, the writers and cast deliver an unbelievable season finale. If you haven't seen it yet, we all recommend it two thumbs up. Even Savon, who likes to sit on the fence about these things is 100% an Invincibro. Watch the show and then listen to this podcast.

In this episode we have a crazy revelation -- It turns out Mike actually LOVES the last Star Wars trilogy despite all of his protestations the past few years. Listen in for the moment he gives it away. While we're up to our usual shenanigans, we do reflect on The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and what we're taking away from it, the good and the bad. And we all take a moment to celebrate Carl Lumbly's work throughout the series portraying Isaiah Bradley.

This week it's all about what we're loving. Most of us highlight something we're enjoying from outside the superhero genre. We also discuss some newsy items in a grab bag format. Listen in to find out how NPR is basically stealing our show but doing it 1000x less interesting. They have left us no choice, they are about to feel the wrath of our show. They will be fully wrathed.

We get a chance to bathe in the blood, guts, tension, and intrigue that permeate Invincible, a new animated series on Amazon Prime Video. Yes you read that right, we're finally talking about something that isn't produced by Disney. Listen to the pod to find out if we think it's any good. The first half of the pod is mostly spoiler free. The second half (starting at 10:10) is all spoilers. Proceed with knowledge.------------------CreditsHosted by Wesley Nakamura, Mike Smith, Brian Redondo, and Savon JonesEdited by Wesley Nakamura Classical Metal Workout by MusicLFilesLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/7525-classical-metal-workoutLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Energetic Upbeat by WinnieTheMoogLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/6033-energetic-upbeatLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license
