Episode 115 - What If We Stayed On Topic?

*** SPOILERS AHEAD *** 

That's right, we are back spoiling stuff that you should probably have watched already! This week we are doing a very spoiler filled discussion about the final episodes of Marvels What If? television series. Please do not listen to this episode until you're all caught up! or if you don't care about spoilers and just want to hear our voices. You've been warned!

We are joined this week by none other than other Joey aka RyceBallz. He is our resident Marvel expert, and we truly couldn't think of anyone else who we'd rather have hanging out and doing a deep dive of the second half of What If? We jump right into this thing and talk about what we enjoyed and didn't, and also make wild and crazy speculations of what is next. There are some spicy takes, some disagreements, but at the end of the day we all can agree, party Thor was the weakest episode and Clint is still a dingus. 

Episode 114 - 2 Dorksmen Walk Into a Movie

*** SPOILER ALERT ***

YOU ARE STUCK WITH JOEY AND THAT CLINT GUY THIS EPISODE AS NATE WAS UNDER THE WEATHER.

Guess who's back, back again. Cameron's back, tell a friend! That's right, our good friend CAM is back on the Podcast this week as we sit down and talk our Mount Rushmore of rap albums! Hip hop and rap has been such a huge part of our lives growing up that we couldn't think of a better topic to discuss next in our Mount Rushmore series. Also, any time you can pick the brain of a music enthusiast such as CAM you do not pass up that opportunity! Whether you're a fan of the genre or not, we'd encourage you to listen to this episode!

Episode 112 - Where The Players Dwell

You son of a bitch, we're in! This week the Dorks sit down and talk about the latest season of one of our favorite shows, Rick & Morty! We go through and talk about everything we liked, everything we really liked, and everything that we only liked a little less but still liked. Shockingly, we stay pretty on topic for most of the episode until the very end where just like an episode of Rick & Morty, anything can happen.

Episode 111 - What If... Clint Wasn‘t A Dingus?

Time, space, reality … it's more than a linear path. It's a prism of endless possibility, where a single choice can branch out into infinite realities, creating alternate worlds from the ones you know. We are the Dorksmen. We are your guide through these vast new realities in a spoiler filled episode re-capping the first half of the Marvel Animated Series, What If? That's right, it's back to back spoiler filled episodes for the boys. This week we sit down and breakdown all the things we enjoyed about What If? We talk about it all, including what we think is next. The real spoiler here is that we almost agree on every thing, which might be a first and may have caused a nexus level event in this timeline. 

Episode 110 - Ryce-Chi and The Legend of Episode 110
