We've reached the end of our 2025 catch-up, and we decided to throw everything but the kitchen sink at this last round of things to catch up on. We did movies, shows, and comics already, so we rounded it out with anime (which doesn't count as a show, I swear), a YouTube series (which doesn't count as a show, I swear), and music. Join us as we finally say goodbye to 2025 and start our new 11-month year!

We're still catching up on 2025 things! Listen, so much stuff comes out in any given year, so can you really blame us? It's a lot, it's a lot.

This week, we talk shows! We've got Alien: Earth, The Chair Company, and Heated Rivalry. You can probably guess who suggested what.

We're picking up the stuff we missed from 2025! Lan, Keigen, and Salt have each given each other homework to read, watch, and engage with, and we sit down to discuss our thoughts.

This week, we talk comics! We've got Mothra: Queen of the Monsters, Spider-Man '94, and Assorted Crisis Events vol. 1. Who assigned which comic? Who didn't realize that their comic still isn't done?

It's January, and while everyone's adjusting their budgets, habits, and wardrobes, we're looking back at the year just ended! Lan, Keigen, and Salt gave each other homework for the next month, making each other read, watch, and listen to things from 2025 that they might've missed.

This week, we talk movies! We've got 28 Years Later, Weapons, and One of Them Days on the docket. Who assigned which movie? You'd be surprised by the results!

We couldn't let 2025 go without one last episode to round things out. With Marvel's Ultimate Endgame #1 dropping today, Lan and Keigen went through the trials and tribulations of reading every Ultimate Marvel comic released since Ultimate Universe #1 (2023). We cover Ultimate Wolverine, Ultimate X-Men, Ultimate Black Panther, Ultimate Spider-Man, the Ultimates, and even Ultimate Spider-Man: Incursion. Every single issue of all these books released to date. It's no surprise this episode ended up as long as it did.

Thank you for a wild 2025, and we look forward to bringing you more Midnight Grappler Animals in 2026! Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas! The year's almost over, so why not celebrate with a look back at things that happened this year? Lan puts contestants Gui, Salt, and Keigen to the test in a battle of wits and memory as they get quizzed on things that happened in 2025, Jeopardy-style.

We're back with the time-honored tradition of the yearly Tastebreaker's Grab Bag, where we DON'T recommend you check out the things we talk about. We did this year's as a live show, where viewers and members of our Discord channel got to chime in on our takes.

Our next episode will also be a live show, going live at 5pm PST on Sunday, December 21st, 2025! Join us at the link below if you want to see the episode recorded live.
