9ES345: Not Positive In The End

by jorn on September 12, 2025 at 8:17 pm

Jon and Keith played the heck out the original Hollow Knight when it came out and even if they haven’t been full blown participants of the Silksong hype they both were excited enough to get Silksong on launch day.

It’s great. If you’re bad at it then get good and you shall be rewarded.

This is a pretty “tight” episode by our standards. We talk about the biggest video game release of the year (Silksong), a movie that is still in theaters (Fantastic Four: First Steps), another relatively recent film (The Phoenecian Scheme) and a movie that is about to get released this week (The Long Walk). We also talk about some up to the minute politics and Trump’s creepy ass letter to Epstein in the infamous “Birthday Book”.

Sometimes we talk about the 80s and sometimes we talk about stuff happening right now. What do you want from us?

Oh and by the way, we don’t talk about it on the show but if you listened to last episode and wondered how Syko Stu is doing, apparently he’s been released from the hospital and is miraculously expected to recover. Fucking wild.

Meanwhile on a brand new episode of Garbage Time Keith has watched the entirety of Twisted Metal Season 2 and it was pretty great in a silly popcorn kind of way. The boys discuss the rules of the “Firewatch Movie Challenge” that will be featured on an upcoming episode of 9ES and Scott started watching Alien: Earth. Hot fresh garbage!

9ES342: Demons Everywhere

Well, The Fantastic Four: First Steps movie is out, and it’s the most comic-accurate yet. Reed Richards is scribbling on chalkboards, tackling cosmic problems like it’s Oppenheimer with spandex. Sue’s stubborn, Ben’s mopey, Johnny’s a hothead. Honestly it’s pretty much straight out of the comics. But it’s a lot of talking heads and some folks (like Keith’s wife) dozed off. Galactus is massive and rocks the Kirby helmet, and they skip the origin story.

Skipping the origin story is kind of our favorite thing in superhero movies these days.

Ironheart reveals that Sacha Baron Cohen is the MCU Mephisto. Feels like they’re testing the waters of introducing Marvel Hell.

Scott pitches a few casting choices for Mr. Sinister: Tom Ellis (Lucifer) or Robert Sheehan (Umbrella Academy) as the fabulous mutant. Both would kill it.

On a heavier note (GET IT?), Ozzy Osbourne and Hulk Hogan are dead.

Since we are jaded assholes we end up ranking them out of 10 on scumbag scale. Ozzy, allegedly shot 17 pets in a drug-fueled haze. That ain’t great. But he’s a rock star so maybe a 4/10 on the scumbag scale.

Hogan, though? Terry Bollea’s a pretty big scumbag. He and Vince McMahon built modern wrestling. But his union-busting, steroid cover-ups, and MAGA-adjacent nonsense peg him at a 7/10 scumbag. Hulk Hogan was a living superhero, Terry Bollea pretty much sucked.

Meanwhile on a brand new episode of Garbage Time! Scott once again has whipped up a quiz for Jon and Keith and this time it’s “Sports Movies”. The rules are simple, Scott gives us the name of a fictional sports team and if we can’t guess the movie he will then tell us the star player of the team. Jon and Keith are not big sports guys but you may be surprised by some of the right answers they manage to land on (and infuriated at some of the ones they miss).
