110. Pulling Magento's Hemmet Out of Claremont's Ass" - Pitching A Better X-Men Franchise Part 2
The oven is done cooking, the sheets are out of the dryer, and TJ has done a bang up job digesting and excreting the contents of Part 1 into a satisfying meal of an X-Franchise. Last week, Trevor talked a whole bunch about things that feel true to making a better X-Men movie or TV franchise, and now he gets to be silly again as he sits back and listens to the musings of an almost-screenwriter. And that's when Pedro Pascal's acting comes in. Join us for too many damn characters, a softly-spoken "nobody wants to follow you, dude", having Mark Ruffalo on retainer, and Thunderbird: he attac, he protec, but unfortunately, he still has to get wrecked.

109. “You Want the X-Men in the MCU? PAY YOUR WRITERS AND ACTORS!” - Pitching A Better X-Men Franchise Part 1
Yes friends here we are with more strike content - because even though we’re not Drew Barrymore, we still know what it means to not be a scab. That said, if some mouse-based mega corporation likes our ideas, we should be paid for them. This week and next week, Trevor and TJ will be doing a deep dive into X-Men comics history to pitch a better live action adaptation. Today, we begin with Trevor’s super-fan interpretation of plots, characters, and key points to cover, so that TJ can get to cooking for next week. If we got stuff wrong, don’t come for us! Join us for a very single Okoye, not giving evangelicals one inch with Nightcrawler, AOC as Kitty Pryde, and the X-Men never getting to have what they want. PAY YOUR WRITERS AND ACTORS, YOU LEECHES/EXECS.

108. Can Trevor Get to Those Robot Yams??? - The Mass Effect Series
It finally happened, gang. Trevor has completed his debt to TJ (per last December’s Reject or Renew Survivor Series) to complete the Mass Effect video game trilogy. And now TJ finally has a friend. As a bonus, we don’t have to be scabs because this is video game content! Join us for an extra long, extra special episode featuring: our space dad, our space raptor best friend, and our space conservative side chick, discovering those sweet sweet robot yams, hand tongs for space stations, misgendering the Mako, giving biotics laser swords, socialism (but creepy), Trevor’s new dog, and nobody talking to Kaidan. Ever.

107. "Let It Go, Teej, It's Anime" - Reject or Renew: One Piece Episodes 1-30
Wow. This anime sure is anime-ing. You know, the anime called One Piece? It's an anime called One Piece. It's about Pirates. Wowee! Pirates! Did we mention it's about Pirates? Not the Cypher Chief, but Pirates! I once encountered pirates... (proceeds to talk about it for nine episodes). Welcome to May's Reject or Renew where we finally dig into the first four arcs of the seminal anime One Piece. And we're not gonna pull a Zoro and take a nap during all the action until our cue is called. This is bitter work. Join us for multiple episode titles, Chibi versions of ourselves, taking the SAT when you're bored, and catboys: mmm... Gross.

106. “You HAVE to See RRR With a Best Buy Rewards Card” - Polite Society & RRR
A white woman? NO! And he falls in love with her? TYPICAL! Welcome back to AAPI Heritage month where we finally take a crack at movies representing that big ole Indian subcontinent with Tollywood’s smash hit, RRR, and the Pakistani slugfest, Polite Society. This is the week we learn that if you don’t have anything to say to a woman that isn’t about her womb, just don’t say anything at all. We’re even gonna weigh in on politics we know very little about, hot dog! Join us for being 20 (woof), our culinary tour through India, and Trevor becoming a Terminator, using infared vision to hunt down celebrities to meet.
Two millenials with way too much time on their hands. Hosts TJ Patrick and Trevor Catalano take a dive into their binge watching and deep nerd musings. Also shouting at each other over Zoom is better than shouting into the void. From major franchises to coveted cult classics, from artsy cinema to binge-able TV shows, here at The Red Team Podcast, we're after fun and surprisingly insightful takes on your favorites, but maybe also introducing you to something new. Join us weekly, as we explore the media multiverse, try to be better feminists, and Trevor is constantly chasing TJ.
