Show notes

Son of a Bix. Andor left us craving and-more… but all we’re getting are these silly Jedi… [laughs in Huttese]Plus, Fortnite honors James Earl Jones with an AI Darth Vader—and the internet handles it exactly how you'd expect.

The MU-TH-UR of All Action Figure Podcasts May 12, 2025

Show notes

This week, we honor the real heroes of Mother’s Day: moms who didn’t throw out our toys when they really, really wanted to. Plus, Andor is back! Because nothing says "fun space adventure" like a 12-episode anxiety attack. And AI is designing new Power Rangers now, which explains why the Red Ranger has three helmets and a toaster for a chest. I learned that beneath my goody two-shoes lie some very dark socks. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

It's Gonna be May the Fourth May 05, 2025

Show notes

Saying goodbye. Only a few Andor episodes remain, and we’re already mourning the end. Plus, it doesn’t seem real. Mattel’s Jurassic World toys give us our best look yet at the “D-Rex”—and it’s basically a genetic turducken in reptile form. And, our hearts are broken. Just like the hollow chest cavity on Hasbro’s Fire Convoy HasLab. A girl should have her own private diary. I had to share mine with my uncle. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.
