The Explosion of Barbenheimer

Halfway through the year and halfway through the baseball season, the Gents put too much into Randy Arozarena to win the Home Run Derby (1:50) only to come up short in the finale against Vladimir Guerrero Jr. who made history to win the event in Seattle. After salutations from EstoBro and TV, the latter shares his recent rewind of binging an MCU marathon and the collective recognizing the ripple effect of the franchise giant and what grasp it has on its audience (18:00). EstoBro recognizes that these comic book films have saturated the modern-day movie star, as the pair debate different movie stars and films that have been released recently are overshadowed by the burden of the superhero being more important than the individual playing them. The debate over movies transcends into the summer blockbusters that are about to take place between Barbie and Oppenheimer on July 21st of this year (41:45). A major film event that has put the internet into a frenzy, the Gents dissect the magnitude of both of these films and their major significance with their deep-rooted history in culture. The Gents round out the final moments of the show by discussing the latest addition in anime (58:10), with EstoBro finally catching up with Demon Slayer and TV getting hype for the newest season of Jujutsu Kaisen debuting not too long ago. The oversharing of the prior topic on film has the Gents considering having an episode dedicated to manga and anime...perhaps they will have some old friends on the panel to hold discussions on the topic
