018 Deadliest Worrisome

Jun 2nd, 2017 12:00 AM

We're back for more Mayhem! Kirsten and David resurrect the nerdfight ridiculosity that is Deadliest Warrior! The show, on the cultural monument that was Spike TV, was entertaining in a way that required intoxication to truly enjoy, and doubtless has started more nerd fights than Kirk Vs. Picard. So we tear it to shreds. S1E2 Viking Vs. Samurai

017 Iron Pissed

Apr 28th, 2017 2:23 AM

David and Kirsten commiserate over the mediocre and disjointed mess that was Marvel's Iron Fist. We lament the could-haves, what-ifs, and should-have-beens in a series that could have been worth its subpar script if only the fights had been handled like someone gave a damn. Just remember, we're not venting AT you, we're venting WITH you.

016 A Tale Of Two Ships Pt II, Yamato

Apr 14th, 2017 12:00 AM

Our two-parter on doomed Battleships comes to a close as we retell the fate of the Japanese Imperial Battleship Yamato. The single largest battleship ever built, this absolute monster boasted 18 inch guns and 57,000 fully loaded tons of superweapon. In the last months of the war, she sallied forth on a suicide mission to repel the US forces from Okinawa. Essentially, the only role she could play was as a Kamikaze battleship, choosing to go down fighting to save face at all costs, a fitting fate considering the apocalyptic nature of the war's end.  Research for this series came from: The Destruction of the Battleship Bismarck by Holger Herweg and A Glorious Way to Die: The Kamikaze Mission of the Battleship Yamato by Russell Spurr

015 A Tale of Two Ships Pt I, Bismarck

Mar 27th, 2017 12:00 AM

It's part 1 of a unique tale of ill fated Battleships, the Bismarck and the Yamato, two massively armed and armored battleships that were ultimately felled not by other superweapons, but by the new game changer in the field of warfare: the Airplane. Their demise, having never served their intended mission, would mark the end of the battleship era.

014 She Persisted

Mar 10th, 2017 1:00 AM

In Honor of the recently celebrated International Women's Day, we sit down with Seattle Burlesque performer/DJ/Producer Morgue Anne to discuss our favorite, and sadly less known, fighting women who were absolute badasses by any metric. We cover Boudica, Sadie the Goat, Nedezhda Popova, and more! Prepare for some serious girl power.’
