The Hive takes flight with a super-powered episode as Superman soars into theaters this weekend! Greg puts Steve through the wringer with a brutally difficult Superman quiz — and let’s just say Steve’s score is heroic for all the wrong reasons. Meanwhile, Steve shares an exciting Star Wars-themed update for Dave's upcoming wedding: the groomsmen are crafting a full-on lightsaber tunnel for the bride and groom’s reception entrance (...

As we continue to evolve, so does our show format and in this episode we continue our friend therapy to discuss and process world events including US involvement in the Middle East and the murder of legislators in the American Mid West. We apologize if this is not what you signed up for - frankly, it's not what we signed up for, either.

This week on The Wretched Hive, we took a break from the galaxy far, far away and pop culture and dove headfirst into real-world chaos and curious connections. We unpacked the recent immigration marches in Los Angeles and previewed the planned protests happening today. Greg’s wife somehow found herself at the center of not one, but two celebrity sightings—Mike Ness bought a table from her and Dateline’s Keith Morrison dropped by he...

In this episode, we pay tribute to the legendary comic book writer Peter David, reflecting on his incredible contributions to the worlds of X-Factor, The Incredible Hulk, and Star Trek. His sharp wit, emotional depth, and genre-defining runs left an indelible mark on fans and creators alike. We also revisit our review of Thunderbolts, breaking down its hits and misses, character dynamics, and how it stacks up against the rest of th...

In our latest episode, we dive into Andor Season 2 episodes 10–12—an unforgettable finale arc steeped in tragedy, turmoil, and defiant hope. We break down the betrayals, sacrifices, and moments of quiet resistance that define the rebellion's rise in what we believe is the best Star Wars ever produced for television.

This week on THE HIVE we revel in the brilliance of Andor Season 2, episodes 7, 8, and 9 - arguably the best writing in Star Wars history. Betrayal is everywhere and we get deep into Syril's downfall and Dedra's unraveling, Mon Mothma's dangerous game of chess and daring escape, Luthen's web of obsession, all masterfully woven together by Tony Gilroy's tight, uncompromising storytelling. It’s dark, it’s smart, and we love it. Andor...

In our podcast review of Andor Season 2, Episodes 4–6, THE HIVE dives into the masterful storytelling, political tension, and character complexity that make this the best Star Wars since...well, Andor Season 1. These episodes blend heist-thriller pacing with meditations on loyalty, sacrifice, and rebellion. While the cast shines—especially Diego Luna, Adria Arjona, and Stellan Skarsgård—it’s writer Tony Gilroy who stands as the tru...

In this episode, we dive into our reactions to Andor Season 2, Episodes 1-3, and spoiler alert: we loved it! We break down the plot lines and the show's gritty, grounded vibe that continues to set it apart from other Star Wars projects. The tension is real, the stakes are high, and the character arcs are sharper than ever. Andor proves once again why it’s top-tier Star Wars storytelling.

The boys review the season finale of Daredevil: Born Again, with Matt Murdock delivering the knockout punch fans have been waiting for—bloody, brooding, and just the right amount of Catholic guilt. The episode ties up some loose ends with a flourish of fists and moral ambiguity, reminding us why Daredevil remains the most compelling guy in a mask (sorry, Spider-Man). Kingpin’s arc wraps with all the subtlety of a wrecking ball and ...

It's a Star Wars show after all so now and than we come back to center and this week our minds are on ANDOR SEASON 2 which premiers April 22nd! Andor Season 1 deliver sophisticated storytelling without lightsabers or Skywalkers. Can Sith Lightening strike twice or will Disney roll like a Stormtrooper and miss the target?

Marvel knows how to line up chairs and break the internet and this episode is proof of that because THE HIVE talked about it for nearly an hour and we could have gone longer but we all had to work in the morning. But, exciting!

It's true: Daredevil: Born Again IS a very good show. But does it matter? Dave, Scott, and Greg educate Steve on why it matters (and, why it doesn't matter) to the MCU. But you should watch it regardless, because seriously, it's good.
