Have you ever wondered what would happen if you had turned right instead of left? Maybe you think that things would have been better if you had made other choices. Every time you make a decision, the main timeline splinters and the multiverse expands even wider and The Watcher observes it ALL. Gobble gobble dear listeners! The leaves on the trees are changing colors and falling to the ground and the boys of Flame ON! have stepped through the looking glass to join The Watcher as he observes the multitudes of the multiverse in the latest release from the Marvel Cinematic (or Television) Universe on Disney+, the animated series What If...? The first season has wrapped and the boys have their thoughts. For the first round of discussion Beejay, Erik, and Pat chat about the things that they enjoyed from season one including the voice acting of some of the most well known actors from the films, the animation style, and of course, the jokes! After that, they dive into some of the aspects of season one that they felt could have been done differently or even things that they just didn't enjoy including the lack of stories from outside of the MCU, the overarching storyline, and how quickly all of the stories collided. Before signing off, the boys do a quick round of storylines or topics they would love to see included in the second season of the multiverse shattering series when it returns to Disney+!Sit back and get ready to FLAME ON!

Will you start on offense, or on defense? What would you give up to play the Squid Game? That's the real question here! Before the games start, maybe you should grab your lightsaber or your Chucky doll and hit the playground to practice your moves. Red or blue, it's all up to you!The fall weather has settled in nicely and in this spoopy season the boys have gathered again around the computer screen... erm... the recording studio to discuss the past month of pop culture and they've got some great topics to share with you! After a well placed Back To The Future reference, they jump into the first topic, Star Wars Visions on Disney+. What did the boys think about this new anime style anthology series about the beloved Lucasfilms property and does it match up with what you thought? Chime in to let them know! From there the boys get cursed in the body of a Child's Play thing with Syfy's newest gay rights icon, Chucky!

Once the boys get back from a brief station identification they tackle the final topic of the month and it's one of (if not THE) top watched programs from Netflix, Squid Game! The boys dive into the premise, the dub versus sub debate, and whether or not any of the characters were redeemable throughout the show. Pat for sure has some thoughts and questions after binging the entirety of Squid Game in one day. Have you watched the show yet? What would you do for a second season of Squid Game if you were in charge? Sound off in the comments!

Visions of A Squid Game Are Here

They say that everything old is new again, but in the world of pop culture, everything old gets a reboot these days! Whether it's musicians sampling older songs for new hits or a comic franchise resetting continuity to mine new stories from decades old characters or just a classic movie getting a shiny new high def remake, it's pretty easy to say that reboots are here to stay.As the weather changes and the leaves begin to fall, the boys get together to discuss a very important topic, which pop culture reboot worked for them and what media that would love to see get a refresh in the not too distant future. First on the agenda, the boys each set the tone by diving into a piece of pop culture that had a successful reboot or refresh. From movies to video games, they cover the gamut of pop culture. After a quick break for station identification, they dig into the nitty gritty of what this episode is all about! From Marvel fighting games to rebooted "dolls," the boys have put some thought into the pop culture they would love to see get a second life (and don't worry there is a special mention of Fan4astic and the hope for Marvel's first family's appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe). Did the boys mention a property that you would love to see get a facelift? If not, they'd love to hear what you would revive with a new look if you had the chance, so be sure to let them know on social media!Sit back and get ready to FLAME ON!

Grab your headphones and get ready to jam out to the tunes while you enjoy the month in pop culture!The seasons are changing and the boys have joined together to ring in the autumn leaves with a lively round table discussion about the month in pop culture. Beejay kicks off the conversation this month talking about the Paramount+ animated series, Star Trek: Lower Decks. Does this animated entry to the Star Trek pantheon measure up to the legacy started by Gene Roddenberry? Beejay seems to think so! From there Bryan dips into post-apocalyptic world created by Brian K Vaughn for DC Comics, Y The Last Man, now adapted to FX by Eliza Clark. Can this crazy world where any living creature with a Y chromosome translate well from the comics to your TVs? Did the dying dog take it too far? Bryan's answers to that may (or may not) surprise you! The boys then take a trip to the mystic lands of Ta Lo to discuss the latest Marvel movie release for Phase 4, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Does sexy daddy Simu Liu give us all the life we were hoping for and more? Listen in as the boys deep dive into the magical waters to find out. After a quick break for station identification, the boys chat about the birth of Little Nas X's baby... erm... full length album, Montero! Does the album live up to the hype surrounding it? Even if it didn't, there's absolutely no denying the ceilings being shattered by this one of a kind artist! Once the musical interlude has ended, Pat chimes in with the final topic of the month, Q-Force, the new adult animated show on Netflix from the minds of Gabe Liedman, Sean Hayes, Michael Schur, and more. Does the show deserve the critiques and hatred on social media or does it help bring some much needed representation to LGBTQIA+ communities that are often underserved? Listen in for the thoughts the boys have and feel free to chime in with your own! After that, the boys dive into their 1-Ups for the month AKA the things that are giving them LIFE (aside from the birth of Montero)!Sit back and get ready to FLAME ON!

Montero and the Legend of the Ten C-Rings

From the sisterhood the queens shared to the stunning looks they turned, to the depth and maturity they showed in the challenges, these queens truly are ALL STARS. They also share their picks for the best of the challenges from this season as well as the challenges they hope to NEVER see again and of course there's an extended conversation about the Super Secret Lip Sync Smackdown Pageant Competition Extravaganza Competition Extraordinaire.

Should the light up wall have won that Barbie Girl lip sync (the answer is of course - and the lighting person should get a raise as well!)? Was Trinity robbed of her rightful place in the top 4? Did the right queen take the crown?

After a brief station identification, they dig into some areas where the felt the show might have slightly missed the mark including the pacing, unearned character growth, the short season length, and the fact that Owen Wilson never did his trademark "Wow" during his scenes. As they wrap up their conversation, Bryan throws out the question of how the birth of the multiverse in this show will impact and tie together as we make our way to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Do you think the boys have the answer? What do you think will happen? Listen in for their thought and share yours on social media! The boys would love to hear it!  Sit back and get ready to FLAME ON!
