Those who wish me dead... or seriously injured
Jun 2, 202100:54:07Tap to summarizeThis week we rate John Cena's apology to China (Soy couldn't do it in Mandarin, but John Cena could have). Jerk drags the Powerpuff Girls live-action TV show, but will still watch it when it airs, while Soy breaks down Andrew Yang's awkward interview by Ziwe. Following Tony Hinchliffe getting cancelled, we also remind our listeners that there is no scenario where a white person needs to use a racial slur. On Armchair Critic, we review Those Who Wish Me Dead, and fawn over the return of the OG Tomb Raider, Angelina Jolie.

Transcribe →Without Remorse... or Fun or Logic!
May 18, 202101:01:05Tap to summarizeThis week we rate Chrissy Teigen's apology (you either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain).

On Armchair Critic, we watched Without Remorse and discuss how many ways a movie can show a shirtless Michael B. Jordan (spoilers: a LOT!)

Transcribe →All hail Lil Nas X - King of the Internet

Soy has no time for Jay Leno's apology to Asian Americans. We also watched the (Oscar-nominated!!)
