On this week’s embarrassingly off-schedule episode of Fanboys, the boys go full Grammar Nazi, drop some mumblebars, and fall into global capitalism’s thirst trap. Just like every week, you get some Patreon Perks: you get to hear the boys get called out for a showdown at high noon and witness the evolution of shitpost musi...

On this week’s nonsensical and eclectic episode of Fanboys, the boys pressure a bluesman to do drugs, foolishly allow a ska band into the hall of fame, and debate the merits of screamy shouty boys. And since you’re a Patron, you get to hear the boys rock out in Kazakhstan and chill with some real jazz cats. Anway, if you ...

On this week’s shockingly counter-revolutionary episode of Fanboys, the boys chill with Eddie Vedder’s less-popular cousin, get radicalized by folk punk, and have a cyberpunk fever dream. Also, before any of you get the wrong idea, let’s state for the record that The Hard Times is a firmly pro-labor organization that on...

This week’s episode of Fanboys is actually legitimately cursed. The boys repent for past sins, listen to a reject from the Scott Pilgrim soundtrack, and star in this season’s hottest anime. Not gonna lie: this is a weird one. They recorded two whole songs and do a whole extended bit about anime, which, again, we at The Ha...

Matthew Mercer (Critical Role, every video game) joins Mark and Jeremy to discuss this preposterous episode that was originally conceived as a King Tut thing and then evolved into a Ten Commandments thing somewhere along the way.

Some very vile vires vie for the triforce in this vexatious episode of the Legend of Zelda cartoon! Also they dang broked it up into three pieces with a hammer or some shit.

This week’s episode of Fanboys is needlessly, obnoxiously festive. The guys dunk on a bassy highschooler, embrace the dark void of Youtube grunge, and dive into the Springfield Krusty-punk scene.

This week’s episode of Fanboys is deliberately and desperately spooky.
