**The Weekly Substandard Expanded Universe**

Weekly podcast in tribute to The Subbeacon podcast, formerly known as the Substandard podcast, full of garbage opinions, star war arguments, and pioneers of the podcast genre Dudes Counting. Described as “mediocre terrible” by Flagg Taylor.

Latest Episodes:

Dark Knight Rises And Other Dick Puns Oct 08, 2026

Show notes

the boys talk taylor swift's new album and dicks before talking Nolan's final batman.

INCEPTION II: HILTON GOLD MEMBER Sep 01, 2026

Show notes

World domination is most certainly NOT off the table. Plus fun banter

The Dark Knight of the Honda Aug 26, 2026

Show notes

the boys talk about aquiring a car and then C. Nolan's second Batman entry. what a slog.

A Prestigious Return Aug 03, 2026

Show notes

"The boys are back in town"......is the title or a least some of the lyrics to a semi popular song from an indeterminate period of time ago and really has nothing to do with this episode or the podcast. The SSEU boys are most certainly not back!

Chris Nolan's Insomnia - Don't Sleep on This Ep Mar 09, 2026

Show notes

The counting crew is back, the guys have released an episode - with the exception of almost every single week - every single week for the past 5 years. They continue their Nolan series picking up where they left off last week - the last week they released an episode. It was recorded right after the Grammys (2025)

Episode 177: Batman Begins: A movie about Isaac Newton Aug 28, 2025

Show notes

In classic Nolan-tradition, the boys attack his filmography in the order that it is supposed to be discussed: out of order. Here is Batman Begins and a confused discussion about the BAFTAs. Not least how it is supposed to be pronounced.

Episode 176: Memento Apr 23, 2025

Show notes

Ryan has some interesting experiences at work and the guys (some of them) have watched another Nolan-movie. Highly unclear if they understood all the plot points.

Episode 175: The Following Mar 06, 2025

Show notes

The Following? Following? What's this movie called? Jason joins us with a quiz, Thomas gets too drunk, and Chris and Ryan disagree on a movie rating.

Episode 174: Oh my garland, we are back! Dec 12, 2024

Show notes

Stuff your chimneys! We are back! After a scheduled and carefully planned break, the SSEU podcast is back spreading Christmas cheer. Chris is concerned about the working conditions at the North Pole, Thomas manages to go an entire episode without swooning over Anna Kendrick, and Ryan thinks it is 2019. And does anyone actually know how many Die Hard movies there are?

Episode 173: Shiny Hiney Jun 25, 2024

Show notes

How is your personal hygiene? Chris has discovered a new tool to help you look your best for everyone you meet. We also discuss the key components of a trip to Austin and Thomas is celebrating (for no apparent reason) with a bottle of bubbly).
