395 Clayface Horror Movie Maul Shadow Lord AniMay Free Comic Book Day
Episode 395
Monday, 27 April, 2026
395 Clayface Horror Movie Maul Shadow Lord AniMay Free Comic Book DayDoom Scrolling IntroSteph opens with a wild work moment: getting called a “fat bitch” by a frustrated patient during physical therapy — and somehow holding it together professionally while dying laughing internally. The Foos ease into the weekend recap with drinks (Steph’s whiskey-limoncello highball, Joe’s Michelob Ultra “carb watch” era), a Shoelace Express show at Pro5 in Upland, and Joe accidentally driving to the wrong Eureka because he didn’t realize there’s more than one.Then the Florida chaos arrives: a woman allegedly trashes a Subway over peppers on her mobile order — knocking equipment around, throwing trays, and earning herself an arrest for criminal mischief. Florida, never change.Geeking Out starts with DC going full horror: Clayface is getting a biological horror-thriller treatment, leaning hard into the actor-turned-monster origin and the “this is not a superhero movie” vibe. They talk why Batman villains can be more interesting when Batman isn’t even in the story, and take a quick shot at Sony’s villain-movie track record (with Venom being the best of the bunch).Star Wars Maul Shadow Lord continues heating up, with episodes dropping in pairs and the finale landing on May 4 for Star Wars Day. The Foos debate Maul vs Vader, who’s scarier vs who’s more interesting to watch, and even who has the better skincare routine (spoiler: Vader’s face is not winning any awards).Then anime gets its own month: Crunchyroll turns May into AniMay with watch parties, award tie-ins, theater events, and big headliners like Chainsaw Man the Movie and Re:Zero content — followed by the eternal question: who has a Crunchyroll login they can borrow?They also dig into a Magic: The Gathering resurgence (Vegas buy/sell events, collabs like Spider-Man and Avengers, and whether they should start playing again), plus hype for the new Mortal Kombat movie and favorite characters.Before signing off, Steph drops a genuinely useful heads-up: Free Comic Book Day is Saturday, May 2 — 24 free titles across publishers, perfect for newcomers to sample different vibes. She highlights a few standouts and brings up AWA’s Telepaths — which is getting an Apple adaptation called Liminal starring Vanessa Kirby and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.Sports makes a brief, chaotic comeback too: MLB glove break-in methods, including steaming… and one player straight-up microwaving his glove for two minutes.ChaptersDoom Scrolling IntroIntroSteph gets called a fat bitch at work and survives professionallyDrinks highball limoncello + Michelob Ultra carb watchShoelace Express show at Pro5 Upland + Eureka wrong locationFlorida woman trashes Subway over sandwich peppersGeeking Out Clayface turns Batman villain into horror thrillerBatman villains more interesting without BatmanMaul Shadow Lord schedule finale on May 4Vader vs Maul villain debate + skincare routine jokeAniMay Crunchyroll anime month watch parties Chainsaw Man ReZeroMagic the Gathering comeback Vegas event collabs Spider Man AvengersMortal Kombat hype favorite charactersFree Comic Book Day May 2 titles to grabAWA Telepaths Apple adaptation Liminal Vanessa Kirby Yahya Abdul Mateen IISports MLB glove break in steaming and microwavingOutro + Doom Scrolling OutroClayface, DC horror movie, Maul Shadow Lord, Darth Maul, Darth Vader, AniMay, Crunchyroll, Chainsaw Man movie, ReZero, Magic the Gathering, Mortal Kombat movie, Free Comic Book Day, AWA Telepaths, Liminal, Vanessa Kirby, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Ontario, Upland, Shoelace Express
