Happy Fourth of July! This week, we bring on friend of the show Alex Lee to discuss the results of the Round of 32 match ups in the Greatest American bracket. We talk about how Jax is crazy, that time GI Joe stopped fighting COBRA and started fighting sharks, and we agree that Bandit Keith may have been the worst Duel Monsters player of all time.

You are not going to believe this. We have the votes in for the final round of our Deadliest Doctor bracket and it is both a record number for the votes collected and it is a dead tie! We have guest Nick Porcaro act as the tie breaking vote after intense deliberation from Nando and DJ and we, once and for all, determine the Deadliest Doctor. Also, this week we launch a new bracket. Some of you may not know this, but we are based out of the good ol' US of A and we are proud of all of the great American characters that popular culture has provided us with so we decided to make a bracket full of American heroes that is tentatively titled, The Greatest American. We go through the match ups and talk specifically about some of the wrestlers with Nick in great and musical detail. Happy Fourth of July everyone.

There will be a reckoning. This week Nando and DJ are joined by comedian and friend of the show Kenny Goff.

We are about halfway through the bracket with eight competitors eliminated and eight moving on to the semi finals. We dive into the rich goofy history of Dr Strange and go over some of the craziest accomplishments of Archer's Dr Krieger.

The bracket is under way! DJ is in Vegas so Emily is filling in as co host. We look over the results from the Round of 32 and Emily predicts almost every answer correctly! It's astounding. We go deeper into the history of Dr. Horrible. We question whether Wells really is the best Flash villain. And we examine the achievements of a man whose only credentials are that his first name is technically Doctor, Krieger.

It is time for a new brand bracket! We have friend of the show Zak Moy back on the program to help us introduce some of the deadliest doctors we could find. Nando explains why Doctor Doom isn't as bad as his name might suggest and DJ gives us an introduction to the complicated history of the androids of Dcotor Gero in DBZ.

This week, we bring an end to our Fiercest Game of Thrones character bracket. We talk to our most senior guest, Kevin Su, about his favorite character from the show that he has never seen. We even talk more about our next bracket!

Remember to vote all week on Round 3 of the Craziest Captains bracket at www.madbracketstatus.com/p/polls

This week on Reckless Speculation, we are talking to everyone at special guest Jay Van Buiten's Super Bowl party. We have at least ten different bits of Reckless Speculations that span from Marchawn Lynch's future in football to the halftime show to whether someone is or is not an obscure video game character. And yes we did technically put this up before the game. So if anything here is right, here is proof that we are magic.

It's not TV. It's Reckless Speculation! This week we sit down with fellow podcaster Nick Berrios to talk about the best network in all of creation, the Home Box Office or HomeBO for short or HBO for shortest. DJ thinks HBO will be forced to put Game of Thrones on hold until the new books are written because no one has ever stretched one 300 page novel into three two hour long movies with all kinds of new dwarf/elf love triangles and forty five minutes of f*@king Radagast! Nando thinks Westworld will grow faster than the mega hit Game of Thrones thanks to a production team that includes J J Abrams, a man known for quality television that comes to a satisfying conclusion. Nick thinks that True Detective Season 2 will start strong and fizzle once audiences realize that the second guy is Collin Farrell.

Big week guys! Big week! We are one week into our Craziest Captain bracket. The amount of votes we are getting is kinda insane. We bring back frequent quest and fellow podcaster Nick Berrios to go through the results of the first round. Nick even knows who some of the guys are! Not all but some. We have a bunch of crazy upsets and the next round of match ups is even crazier. We also go through some Oscar predictions in the beginning because we lack self control. Vote this week on www.madbracketstatus.com/p/polls.html

It is clear that 2015 is going to be the biggest single year for movies since possibly 1994. We have assembled Nando and DJ, along with faithful guest Chris Diggins, to speculate about some of the possible successes and failures that we can look forward to this year. Obviously mega hits like Avengers and Star Wars will be great but what about some of the smaller films? Will Mad Max have a strong enough start to reboot the franchise? Will Pitch Perfect 2 sour Anna Kendrick's popularity? What on earth will happen with Fox's Fantastic Four reboot? All of these questions and more will be answered on this week's Reckless Speculation.

This week DJ and graphic designer Michelle Coraci sit down to talk with one of the Captains from our Craziest Captain bracket. Digger Harkness a.k.a. Captain Boomerang stops by to give us some insight into his boomerang themed process. He gives us a behind the scenes look at the recent drama concerning the Suicide Squad movie. He also talks about his appearance on Flash and his unbelievably stupid origin story. Vote for Digger and the other Captains at www.madbracketstatus.com

This week we have graphic artist Michelle Coraci on to talk about more Crazy Captains. We take a closer look at the round one match ups between the Space, Sea, Superhero, and Other divisions of our Craziest Captains bracket. Some patterns emerge. Are all of the space captains intent on killing their crew members? Are all of the superhero captains incredibly insecure? All of those questions and more will get answered this week.

Oh Captain! My Captain! Our fearful trip is done. The Greatest Conspiracy Theory bracket is over and we are staring our new bracket this week. We bring on actor/comedian Chris Diggins to talk about who we think are the Craziest Captains. We have Captains from the four major Captain divisions; Space, Superhero, Sea, and Other. Vote all week on your picks.

What's that you say? Paul McCartney is still alive? Do we have an interview for you! Apparently, not only was Paul McCartney killed in a car accident in 1966 and it was covered up by the Beatles BUT Paul McCartney chose to, as a ghost, come on Mad Bracket Status to talk about the truth with DJ and Caroline. He talks about the conspiracy, the afterlife, and all kinds of other stuff. Its great.

This is it! This week we finally finish the Greatest Conspiracy Theory bracket once and for all. Will is be 9/11 Truth? Will it be the Moon Landing? It will be the Moon Landing. They win. Bracket over. Now onto the future. We bring Mad Bracket Status CTO, Caroline Amaba, on to discuss our new Craziest Captains bracket! This one is going to be fun. Love us again! Also there is a post credits conversation from last week with Zane Schacht about the Star Wars prequels that we thought was too fun to throw away.

This week we sit down with Zane Schacht to recklessly speculate about Telltale Games. Best known for their Walking Dead series, Telltale is working on a lot of interesting projects that make is possible for their 2015 to go in a lot of different directions. What will the third season of The Walking Dead look like? Will Minecraft: Story Mode be a success? What will Telltale's next licensed project be? All of this and more on this week's Reckless Speculation.

Did we land on the moon? Was 9/11 an inside job? Probably not. That won't stop us from investigating. We bring comedian Zane Schacht onto the show to discuss the Final Match up in our Greatest Conspiracy Theory bracket. We also discuss the origins of the Jewish holidays and the New York Jets (briefly).

This week we talk with legendary singer and songwriter Stevie Wonder. We talk to him about his blindness and the conspiracy theory that he is, in fact, not blind at all! He debuts some of his new singles that may or may not be supplemented with some subtle clues to whether he can see or not.

This week DJ is totally checked out! He and Nando welcome Ethan Crump back to the show. We talk about some of the recent SONY controversy and we reveal the Final Four in our Greatest Conspiracy Theory bracket.

This week friends of the show/Star Wars nerds George Blazeski and Alex Lee join Nando and DJ for Reckless Speculation. They all give their reckless theories on the forthcoming Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens. Also they make fun of the Jets a little.

This may be our most incredible interview ever. Jesse Ventura, host of Conspiracy Theory, stops by to sit down with DJ and George Blazeski and talk about the Illuminati but little does he know that all is not what it seems. Some of our hosts have secret agendas that will blow your minds.

This week Nando and DJ welcome their friend and non legal council, George Blazeski onto the show. They talk history and reveal the Elite Eight in our Greatest Conspiracy Theory bracket. They also cover the recent Sony hacks.

This week we dive deeper into the Sweet Sixteen round of our Greatest Conspiracy Theory bracket. Kevin Lourenco finally returns from Europe/Ohio. We break down the 9/11 Truth movement, the Paul is Dead theory, Chemtrails, and Jesus' Bloodline. Vote all week to determine the Elite Eight.
