  • The Whatnauts Grand Prix 10
    Dec 17 2025

    We're celebrating 10 years of The Whatnauts with an end of the year "grand prix" because you can call anything a grand prix, there's no rules stopping you! Two people talking about pizza can be a grand prix!! Kyle sees a chicken. Melissa sees a big glove. Between the two of us, we've seen Tenet 3.5 times and Interstellar 1 time and we're going to try to understand both. We also give out the yearly Review Show superlatives, recap the F1 season finale and the Game of the Year awards, imagine a Scrabble game that takes up your whole house, and talk about cow cinema.

  • The Review Show Awards: Superlatives & Top 10s
    Dec 10 2025

    Episode 332. This is our final episode of The Review Show (we'll still be doing the same thing next year under a newly formatted feed) and we're looking back on over 300 episodes with lists! Lots and lots of lists! We talk about our favorite movies, shows, comics, and audio dramas, biggest surprises, best villains, opening credits, needledrops, robots, stunts, and celebrities playing themselves. We talk about "small weirds," obscure streaming shows that seemingly no one has ever watched except us, a sexy pinup calendar of The Tick, a talking motorcycle, and what if Netflix spent their entire budget on just one new season of Mindhunter.

  • The Americans s6
    Nov 27 2025

    Episode 331. In our final regular episode of The Review Show, we talk about the haunting final season of The Americans. Philip has left espionage behind to focus on the legitimate family business to disastrous results, Elizabeth is in over her head with more demanding assignments, and Stan is finally realizing the spies he's been looking for may be his own neighbors. We discuss the pattern of broken connections between fathers and sons, Elizabeth's art studies restoring a missing part of her humanity, if any characters actually make it out of this show with a positive future, and whether we'd want to see a sequel series following the Jennings family years later.
