Media We Can't Stop Watching
18/12/2025 | 1h 14 mins.
For the season finale, Kyle and Mikey talk about media—-movies, shows, books, games, etc—-they can't stop returning to. From the best seasons of The Simpsons to the Hitman video games, this is a big ol' love fest. And, yes, even Die Hard and A Christmas Carol. Tis the season, after all.
Looking Ahead to 2026
11/12/2025 | 1h 17 mins.
With 2025 winding down, rather than rehashing what we've already talked about, we're looking ahead to things we haven't seen yet. Kyle welcomes Ro and Eric to talk about movies and TV shows—both new and returning—they're most excited for in 2026. Supergirl, The Rings of Power (we hope), and a new Resident Evil all get a shout.
Christmas Ghost Stories w/ Kier-La Janisse
04/12/2025 | 35 mins.
As we kick off December, Kyle welcomes author and filmmaker Kier-La Janisse who has followed her essential folk horror documentary, Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched, with a classic-style ghost story, The Occupant of the Room (now on Shudder). Kyle and Kier-La discuss making the short, adapting Algernon Blackwood, and why the holiday season is perfect for spookiness.
The X-Files Retrospective Part 3
27/11/2025 | 2h 15 mins.
Once again, Kyle welcomes back Head Over Feels cofounder Sage Young to talk about The X-Files. This time, it's the end of the original era, with seasons 7, 8, and 9. Agent Doggett fans, let's hear from ya!
Stranger Things Theories
20/11/2025 | 57 mins.
This week, Kyle welcomes an honest-to-goodness Gen Zer, Nerdist editorial intern Sarah Campbell, to discuss Stranger Things ahead of its final season. They talk about Sarah's current rewatch, what worked and didn't about the previous seasons, as well as wild internet theories for season 5 and place odds on who's gonna die. Not one mention of Eggos, though.
