Charge your blasters and pack your zargnuts. We're on a mission to save this podcast, and nothing is gonna get in our way. We're gonna be exploring the weird television regions of The Jury, experimenting on the game The Last Clockwinder, and maybe having a few run-ins with some other big screen creatures like Air and Fast X. But our final destination is James Gunn's closing Marvel sci-fi adventure Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Does the third entry in this franchise continue the wacky fun, humor, and action the series is known for? Does it get darker, a bit more mature, and conclude the series on a high note? Is it even a conclusion? Jump on and strap in to find out on this episode of After the Credits! We are Groot!

You've gathered with your party around the Chunkfire to set off on an adventure. But which quest will you embark on? There are choices in front of you. Will you journey into a fantasy realm of magic and monsters, or will you brave the urban vampire depths? You prepare around the Chunkfire, telling old stories of Beau is Afraid, your culinary plans for Coachella, and equip yourself with the sturdiest VR gear. With two paths before you, you roll the dice- After the Credits is doing a double feature! We couldn't decide which movie to talk about, so we just did both! The fantasy adventure/comedy based on the classic table top game, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, and the wacky vampire Nick Cage action romp, Renfield. We packed these 2 hours full of our opinions! But that's not all, cause a wonderful listener email prompts us to re-examine our Mario takes, as well as have a chunky discussion on critical discourse in general! You roll a critical hit!

Dear Listeners, Please come to the cast. We've baked a cake for you. Yours truly, YumChunks --- One day the kingdom of the peaceful YumChunk people was invaded by The Super Mario Bros. Movie, a movie famous for its black magic. The quiet, peace-loving Chunk people were turned into mere podcasters, voices, and even field horsehair plants, and After the Credits fell into ruin. The only one who can undo the magic spell on the Chunk People and return them to their normal selves is the Princess Chunkstool, the daughter of the Chunk King. Unfortunately she is presently in the hands of Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis, Netflix's Beef, and The Afterparty. Ryan, Chewie, and Sean, the heros of the story (maybe) set out on a quest to analyze The Super Mario Bros. Movie, in the way that only three grown men discussing an animated kids movie can, and restore the fallen kingdom of YumChunks. You are a listener! It's up to you to save this podcast! Thank you-a-so-much for listening to our episode! Chunkfire Stories - 02:02 The Super Mario Bros. Movie Summary - 24:54 The Super Mario Bros. Movie Discussion - 33:50

What a beautiful night for a game. And YumChunks wants to play with you. With one man short in this episode of After the Credits, the Davis brothers are on a mission to take out the High Table. And they aren't going to let anything get in their way. Not even discussions of Inuyasha, In Cold Blood, Piranesi, Octopath Traveler 2, or Paradise Killer. All on the bloody path to their final confrontation with John Wick 4. Does this movie have the precision, finesse, and style to survive? How does it measure up against the other killers in the franchise? Which Davis brother can gush more about this film? Answers will be reigning down like bullets, so pull up your tuxedo collar and listen in, cause it's a deadly one. Be seeing you.

A secret world exists beneath ours. A hidden realm between the atoms, a strange world of wonder and chunks. You'll meet wacky beings and see breathtaking sights, but beware the YumChunks. Infinite versions of the YumChunks exist in every possible form. A version where they discuss The Last of Us game and TV show, a version where they talk about the film Cocaine Bear, And even a variant discussing Somebody I Used to Know. But for this episode, they will be shrinking themselves beyond measure and quantum tunneling into the latest MCU film, the debut of phase 5, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Does phase 5 start with a bang? Or with a whimper? Is it fun? Adventurous? Funny? All of these are true, and none of them are. After the Credits exists in multitudes. Join the multiverse and listen in- cause if there's one thing life has taught us, there's always room to cast.

Live from California, it's the 2022 Chunky Awards! With your hosts, Ryan Davis, Matt Chewiwie, and Sean Davis! The stars have come out to play tonight, as the coveted Chunky is on the line. And this year the judges have decided to mix things up with entirely new awards categories, many of which seem to be made up and make no sense. With a special appearance by Viola Davis! So join us as After the Credits looks back at all our favorites, least favorites, and everything in between from 2022. And we make our predictions for the upcoming Oscars. It's been a crazy year, now let's start the new one off right with the Chunkies! And the award for best listener goes to... YOU!!!

Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Navi attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. Another year passed and YumChunks continued a podcast named After the Credits. And although their casting skills are great, they have a lot to learn before they're ready to start a Game Gear podcast, discuss the TNG episode Relics, or... stab someone with a Khukri dagger? But they ARE ready to talk about the epic James Cameron sequel, 13 years in the making, Avatar: The Way of Water. Is this 3+ hour behemoth a Pandora's box of visual effects that delivers on story as well? Or does it Unobtain anything beyond spectacle? We're not sure if we found those answers, but we believe YumChunks can save the world. Chunkfire Stories - 01:30 Avatar: The Way of Water Summary - 24:12 Avatar: The Way of Water Discussion - 31:36

Are we just out for ourselves, or the greater Chunk cause? We'll have to band together for this lengthy Holiday episode of After the Credits. But thankfully the YumChunks won't be fighting alone, because we are joined by our best star friends, from the Marvel Star Wars Explorers podcast, Brian Rudloff and Sam Stovold! With our forces united, we can finally hit the Empire where it hurts- in our lengthy discussions of Mario + Rabbids: Spark of Hope, The Fabelmans, Sputnik Sweetheart, Nando's, and Nepalese scarves. But our ultimate mission means taking on the latest Star Wars show on Disney+, Andor. How much do we love this show? A lot. A lot a lot. It's basically just us gushing for 3 hours. But stars will you have fun listening in on us rave about all the characters, details, sights, and sounds, of this amazing television experience. May the force be with you and Happy Holidays! https://marvelstarwarsexplorers.com/ Chunkfire Stories - 02:56 Andor Summary - 46:54 Andor Discussion - 51:18

Adventure! Discovery! Chunks! Join us as we answer the call of the wild and chart unexplored regions and cast into the great unknown! The YumChunks expeditionary force is prepared for danger and mystery around every turn. Our intrepid band of explorers have gathered their gear and said their goodbyes to loved ones as they embark on the latest After the Credits. Their journey will take them through the mired wilds of Violent Night, the stunning vistas of Wednesday, and the darkened glenns of The Menu. Along the way they'll be aided by a surprise benefactor in the form of early Christmas presents: Sonic Frontiers, Marvel's Midnight Suns, and Dwarf Fortress. But will they survive to reach their ultimate destination and discover Strange World! Is the latest Disney Animation Studios film a revelatory find for the ages? Answer the cast of adventure and listen in to find out!

Your Honor, over the course of this trial, you will find that YumChunks wasted the time of multiple listeners, acted in direct conflict of the general welfare of humanity, and continued to discuss various musings and opinions on live theatre, Russian Doll, Glass Onion, and 2022 holiday additions Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, Spirited, and A Christmas Story Christmas. And to top it all off, there is ample evidence that explicitly shows they discussed, at length, the Disney+ MCU show, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Did they enjoy the sitcom-y vibes and 4th wall breaking tone? Did the procedural lawyer elements work for them? And what about that ending? Well, that is for the jury to decide. Please listen to all the evidence in this SMASHING episode of After the Credits and render your verdict. Objection! Overruled! And there may be exculpatory evidence in the form of an email! Order! Order! Order in the court!  We rest our case. Case closed.  Chunkfire Stories - 03:08 She-Hulk Summary - 27:47 She-Hulk Discussion - 35:00 Listener Email - 01:38:48

YumChunks is the most powerful cast on Earth. And our path forward is of our choosing! Ruminate on the wonders of the glass blowing competition tv show Blown Away, the dark anthology of Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities, and the weird musical biopic of Weird: The Al Yankovic Story. But this phase of After the Credits comes to a close with their epic discussion of the much awaited sequel to the iconic Marvel blockbuster, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Blue fish people, a great ensemble cast, and some themes perhaps not fully explored, make up topics as the guys also clumsily navigate a discussion of the death of Chadwick Bossman and how it's manifested in the Black Panther follow up. It'll be just like listening to the wisdom of your ancestors in a prophetic vision. YumChunks Forever! YumChunks Forever! YumChunks Forever!

We're no heroes. But we're also not villains. We are protectors? Or no wait, we're champions! But definitely not heroes. When we want to use our powers we just say the magic word- Sha-CHUNKS! No superhero league errr, society, can stop us. We throw down with discussions of the game Immortality, the Flanna-verse, Werewolf by Night, and anthropomorphic Rock figurines. Speaking of cold lifeless statues, we also discuss Black Adam, the new DCU superhero film. But wait, he's not a hero. Supervillain film...? He's not a villain either. What is heeee?! We definitely get to the bottom of it during this Halloween episode! And we even got an extra treat in the form of some chunky listener emails about our previous discussion of Nope! Just tell them YumChunks sent you. Happy Halloween! Chunkfire Stories - 03:26 Black Adam Summary - 39:13 Black Adam Discussion - 39:13 Listener Email - 01:43:40

Welcome to the YumChunks' Claim. The rootin tootin'ist podcast in these here parts. Sit a spell at our ol' Chunkfire and listen to a tale or two about recent films Prey and Bullettrain. Or maybe head on over to the salloon and grab a drink and hear about the Netflix show The Sandman. And you might just find Chewie out yonder where you can catch up on all his recent Marvel thoughts. And you sure are gonna wanna stay tuned for the big show where the boys saddle up and try and wrangle the biggest film on this here episode of After the Credits, the new Jordan Peele flick, Nope. Can the boys handle this monster of a movie? They'll throw every trick they got to make sense of Gordy, Jean Jacket, and all your faves in the wildest cast in the wilderness!

Dear Listeners, If our calculations are correct, you will be listening to this episode of After the Credits immediately after you saw it show up in your feed. First, let us assure you that Chewie is alive and well. He's been touring Ireland, London, and Paris happily these past four weeks. He has been perfectly happy living in the fresh air and wide-open spaces. The luggage that he lost was recovered in London. However the amount of Nando Chicken involved has overloaded the casting circuits, and sent him and Ryan to London's West End. Unfortunately, Sean didn't make it. We are perfectly happy here, discussing the Back to the Future: The Musical. We feared that changes to the film only risked further disruption of the source material. And we take care to talk about the original musical numbers and the songs from the film. We know that you will want to hear how the actors portray your favorites like Doc, Marty, George, and Biff. And we remember to go into detail about the amazing technical feets the production achives. But we fear that this podcast only risks further disruption of the space-time continuum, so remember, after you listen, destroy this podcast! These are our wishes; please respect them and follow them. And so Listeners, we now say farewell and wish you Godspeed. You've been good, kind, and loyal listeners, and you've made a real difference in our lives. We will always treasure our relationship and think on you with fond memories, warm feelings, and a special place in our hearts.  - Your friends in casting, "YumChunks" August 15, 2022 Matt's European Vacation - 03:00 Back to the Future: The Musical Discussion - 01:10:10

The Chunk gods are in danger! Throughout Castville, a dark presence is hunting caster gods, and it has made its way to the realm of After the Credits. And with Chewie once again away, how will Ryan and Sean survive? Surely someone will answer the call of the horns of Chunkgard. Kev Young the Almighty, from Reopening the Wormhole, is here to save us! We charge our divine Chunkfire with a pantheon of topics, from the Halo television series and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, to Jedi: Fallen Order and amazing new pictures of deep space. But then we call down the awesome power of thunder to crack open a massive discussion about the latest MCU flick, Taiki Waititi's Thor: Love and Thunder. Does this cosmic gonzo adventure live up to the legacy of Ragnarok, or does it chart its own path through the bifrost? Sit in on this godly round table as the guys discuss the highs and lows and determine if it's worthy to bear the name Thor. Eat our hammer!

We are the Avatars of an ancient power. It lives inside us, and awakens to podcast against evil. But the power of YumChunks is also terrible, and has sundered us into multiple personalities. Chewie has been separated. Gone to a far off land. But the Chunk has not abandoned us, it has sent us Aaron Ruiz to help us cast on this episode of After the Credits! Ryan and Sean catch up with Aaron as they discuss hidden personas and fogotten gods in From Software games, The Boys season 3, SDGQ, and Ryan's amazing adventures in Nepal. But the for the main event, the boys don their best suits as they ponder the psychological twists, the crazy action, and the uncanny vibe that is Marvel's Moon Knight. Does this unique series deliver on all its interesting promises and premises, or does it leave us a little hollow? It may be a few months late, but we kept blacking out and waking up in wacky situations, so it took a little longer.  Chunkfire Stories - 03:30 Moon Knight Summary - 35:11 Moon Knight Discussion - 45:27

We made it to 100! Can you believe it?! Cause we can't! In this very special episode of After the Credits, the boys spill all their chunks. It's a Summer catch up extravaganza. All the movies, tv, and video games that have been piling up over the last few months finally get discussed. We have mini discussions of The Northman, Barry, Men, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, The Pentaverate, The Secrets of Dumbledore, The Lost City, 12 Minutes, The Outer Wilds, Lightyear, The Tainted Grail, and more! And Ryan takes us on an adventure across Europe, from London to Barcelona, Amsterdam to Paris, the food, the culture, the Sonic 2! Plus a chance to listen back at some of our treasured memories throughout the years as the boys select their favorite clips from past episodes (we're so so sorry). It's a trip down memory lane as we hit this major milestone. And to top it all off, we empty our mailbag with a few special foreign correspondances. 100 episodes of this? How did this happen?! You have only yourselves to blame. We want to thank each and every one of you who have listened to our silly ramblings. We can't believe we've actually done 100 of these. We can't wait to discover what the next 100 have in store! Keep listening and we love you all!  Movies and TV - 03:13 Video Games - 46:56 Activities - 1:07:26 Ryan's European Vacation - 01:16:12 Listener Email - 02:12:20

A dumb "podcast", huh? OK, try to imagine yourself in the Chunk Period. You get your first listen of this "movie review podcast" as you listen to the episode. It sounds like a podcast, lightly, bobbing along. And that's when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the side, from the other two chunks you didn't even know were there. Because the YumChunks are pack casters, you see, they use coordinated attack patterns and they are out in force today. And they slash at you with this...A six-decible recording, like a razor, in your ear. The point is, you are alive when they start to ramble at you. So you know, try to show a little respect...  in this episode of After the Credits! Ryan, Sean, and Chewie mess with things they shouldn't as they talk about airline cinema, catch up on all the new Star Trek from 2022, and splice a mini review of Top Gun: Maverick into this megolithic episode. But how do they fair when faced with giants locusts, clones, feather dinosaurs, a clown car of characters that don't get eaten by dinosaurs in this dinosaur movie, and the ultimate cinematic hubris of man, Jurassic World: Dominion? Will they survive the colossal mess that is the latest in the Jurassic franchise? Can they avoid a critical hate spiral? Will this film eat them alive? Eh, they just have to put their hands up, they'll be fine. They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should. And they really really shouldn't have.
