Logan and Ali are back to discuss the premier of War of the Worlds 2 including how the Challenge social media landscape has shifted, the weak AF intro to all the rookies, Laurel immediately getting back to business, Team US making a massive mistake not taking CT as their reinforcement (along with his problematic highlight reel), Wes getting outsmarted by Bananas, what couples we ship and which make no sense, Wes looking like a bully to Sean, and starting the season off right with a pole wrestle elimination.

Logan and Ali are back together to discuss everything from the reality TV world the last few weeks. We start by chatting about Jemmye's new Youtube channel and upcoming appearance on Ex on the Beach, Tori Hall possibly never being on season 35, and Logan goes on an EPIC rant about the #MeToo moment that went down on Survivor this week before jumping into recapping the last 2 weeks of War of the Worlds 2.
We talk about Jordan sending Theo home and the proposal that followed, which of course leads to a discussion on Cara Maria and her perpetual misery and not being able to distinguish real life from the show, and then jump into how dirty Rogan treated Dee and the conniving way he went about trying to send her home, along with chatting about Kam's territorial behavior regarding Leroy, and we close the show with Tori's Iverson moment over Jenny in Hall Brawl

Logan and Ali are back to discuss the latest drama and antics from MTV's The Challenge War of the Worlds 2. This week we cover Cara Maria getting a little cocky going into the last leg of the season, how dangerous the daily challenge actually was for some competitors, the ultra drama of TJ forcing the challengers to vote right after the competition, CT pulling a fast one and actually looking out for Team UK, Paulie's cool guy glasses move, Ashley being one of the greatest ever at puzzles and Paulie's ludicrous comments about his place in Challenge history.

Logan and Ali begin their Harry Potter marathon by discussing our rules for the podcast, the phenomenon that was the book series, and how crazed the casting of the trio was, before jumping into our review of The Sorcerer's Stone, the theme of discovery throughout the story, the entire first movie being heavy foreshadowing for the entire franchise, Daniel Radcliffe's questionable acting, the early groundwork of establishing Harry as a possible Slytherin, Harry (& the film watchers) stepping into an unknown world, Logan incessantly peppering Ali with questions about the Wizarding World, Voldemort operating as a white supremacist allegory, Logan takes a 'Sorting Hat' quiz live on air to determine his house, and so much more about the first installment of the epic series!

Follow us on Twitter: @HedrichFiles + @helloalievans

Logan and Ali continue their Harry Potter binge and this week its Chamber of Secrets! we discuss the new major themes introduced from prejudice, and identity to fear of the 'other' from the introduction of House Elves and Voldemorts 'true-blood' ideology. Chamber of Secrets lays the foundation for the final conflict of the series, but is it a good stand alone film? Chamber is essentially anti-Slytherin propaganda, but is that a bad thing? The rotating door of Defense against the Dark Arts teachers brings us Professor Lockhart and all his dripping ego, but is he underused in the film? Tom Riddle and his diary are the next piece of 'endgame' material introduced early on in the series and the Chamber of Secrets itself is a clever narrative tool to introduce ancient Hogwarts lore to the viewer, but does the film hold up?

Follow us on Twitter: @helloalievans + @HedrichFiles

Logan is joined by Scott Yager of Challenge Mania to chat about the last decade of the wrestling industry including how the WWE network changed the game (& the rise of supplemental content), WWE giving undersized indie darlings a real shot, the rise in international exposure both to and from the US market, AJ Styles' incredible cross promotion career (& if his WWE career alone is enough to be 'best of the decade' worthy), Becky Lynch's unlikely rise to superstardom, the rise and sustained success of NXT Takeovers, the best tag teams of the decade, the lack of great Royal Rumble winners in the last ten years and what our favorite matches were.

Logan and Ali are finally onto chapter 3 of the Harry Potter franchise with Prisoner of Azkaban and there's a lot of backstory regarding the production and how the producers landed on Alfonso Cuaron before we dive deep into the themes and narrative of this film. Curaon's fingerprints are all over Prisoner, which needed a visionary director to thrust the Potter franchise into a darker and grittier realm. While there may be one giant time travel sized flaw with this film, it is a masterwork of foreshadowing later stories for the greater series while also being a sort of spin off story because of the lack of Voldemort in the film. Why has the general public been mislead about what really happened with Sirius Black? How much knowledge did Dumblebore actually have of the time traveling plan? All these questions and more are discussed on this weeks episode of Rotten Butterbeer!

Follow us on Twitter: @HedrichFiles + @helloalievans

Logan and Producer Diana are back to discuss ALL the drama from the few two episodes of Peter's season of the Bachelor, including all the cringeworthy first impressions, who the early favorites are, who we each picked in our draft, all the #ChampagneGate drama, if Hannah Ann is our new Luke P, why Victoria F is so awkward, and why this should be an all time classic season.

Follow us on Twitter: @HedrichFiles

Logan and Ali are halfway through their Harry Potter binge and this week we're breaking down the Tri-Wizard tournament inside the Goblet of Fire. We get to experience a bit of the Quidditch World Cup, but is it anything more than a narrative device to introduce the Deatheaters? The Wizarding World is ever expanding in this movie with the introduction of the other two schools for the tournament, but what is it that makes Goblet stand out from the other films in the series? Cedric, Fleur, and Krum are all new main characters introduced to the story and each have their strengths within the tournament, is the audience given enough time to connect with them, though? Voldemort and the final graveyard sequence are a masterwork in storytelling and setting up the Dark Lord as being back to near full strength to foreshadow our final battle with Harry Potter, but what makes this scene so epic?

Follow us on Twitter: @HedrichFiles + @helloalievans

Logan and Ali are back to discuss Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the first film to start setting up the series finale. With Voldemort officially back, Harry and Co are tormented by not only his return, but also the introduction of Professor Umbridge which finally gives the audience a deeper look into the corruption of the Ministry of Magic. With it becoming ever more apparent that there will be a war between good and evil coming later on, Order of the Phoenix starts introducing characters like Bellatrix Lestrange to show the depth of Voldemorts army and the real and present danger they represent. This was clearly one of the toughest books to adapt because of the colossal size of the novel, so obviously some major cuts needed to be made, so how did David Yates do in his first foray into the Potter franchise? Ali and Logan butt heads about Luna Lovegood and Ali finally comes clean about her IRL Neville Longbottom home wrecker story.

Ali and Logan and back discussing Harry Potter, this week we're covering chapter 6 of the story, the Half Blood Prince. This film is clearly an extended good bye to the friendship between Harry and Dumbledore, while also setting up the end game for the final battle between Voldermorts army and all that is good in the world. The theme of loss of innocence and not being able to trust anyone is present throughout this story as we explore Snapes journey from a outsiders perspective knowing his true intentions and the agreement he had with Dumbledore. We are also introduced to Dumbledore's old friend, Professor Slughorn, as his mind contains an important memory related to Tom Riddle's earliest sinister creation of the horcrux's. Join us as we explore the last 'regular' school year for our favorite trio before everything falls off the deep end into the final battles of Deathly Hallows.

Hunter-Bro and Logan are back discussing CBS's SURVIVOR! This week, we break down both the 2 hour premiere and the second episode including our thoughts on Rob masterfully working his way to the top of the power hierarchy, the complicated shifting alliances on Sele vs the clear cut alliances on Dakal, Sandra's unnecessary vendettas against Rob and Amber, Yul's brilliant gameplay despite not knowing anyone on the island, Natalie being cheaply targeted in the beginning, COPS R US ARE BACK, the 2 50-50 idols in play, Danni way overstepping her boundaries and getting herself voted out, and Ben fanboying over Boston Rob. This season is going to be one of the greatest ever so tune in to Rotten Coconut every week!

Logan and Ali are back for our penultimate episode of the Harry Potter binge, this week discussing Deathly Hallows part 1, and while it drags at times, this movie is 2.5 hours of setting up for the final battle between Harry Potter and Voldemort. We look back at the 12 year journey of the release of the HP movies, and compare the production to 'Boyhood' and Avengers, but there has really never been a blockbuster series as ambitious in its' scope as the HP franchise. We then dive into the narrative and discuss themes of choices, redemption, and morality as the trio branch off from their yearly Hogwarts excursion to attempt to destroy all the Horcrux's. A journey that separates them from the wizarding world for much of the plot, before being thrust back into the Malfoy's residence for an epic conclusion, and maybe the saddest death in the whole series. Harry and Co have to confront everything from their past before being able to move on to the final battle against Voldemort and all the corruption and hatred he represents in the wizarding world, but does David Yates stick the landing? Check out our final HP podcast next week which will include a chance to win the Blu Ray set!

Logan and Hunter are back to discuss all the latest shenanigans from the wildest season of Survivor yet, Winners at War! From Adam immediately sabotaging his entire game, to Sarah and Tony going undercover with Cops R Us, this episode had it all. Rob felt betrayed by Adam playing both sides, so he was left out of both alliances by the end, but how did he get put in that position? We break down the whole episode, why it was obvious which tribe was going to a vote, and who almost blew it for Dakal on the challenge, plus our MVPs of the week, this week on Rotten Coconut!

Logan and Hunter Bro are back on the mic discussing the latest episode of Winners at War, starting with the aftermath of the Ethan blindside, where Adam stands with his tribe, and if he's relegated himself to goat status because of his early fumble. We discuss both the politics of and the challenge they had to perform out on Edge of Extinction and how their game differs so dramatically from what a 'normal' Survivor game is. After a little tin-foil hat conspiracy talk regarding Sele's challenge win, things kick into high gear for Dakal, starting with Tyson immediately focusing on sending Nick home, but it ultimately backfires, was it worth it for Tony and Sarah, though?

This sets up what seems like an easy vote out of Wendell, before he turns the tides on Yul, by Nick and Michele scheming together to get out the last OG player.

After taking last week off, Logan and Ali are back with a DOUBLE SIZED pod to recap the last 2 episodes of MTV's The Challenge. Starting with Jordan finally taking the filter away now that Tori is gone, to the tumultuous relationship between Kailah and Bear, the weird foam party challenge (that Bananas clearly cheated in), Big T quickly becoming a savage (which ends poorly for Big Toe), Fessy flexing on the house (metaphorically), Nelson getting full on flame roasted, Josh becoming more and more desperate to get a narrative, the double elimination sending Bear and Jordan home (with a shattered shoulder), we try and break down the duality of Jordan Wiseley's persona/athletic achievements, Wes and his secret Big Brother alliance, Mel being a badass and jumping down in the tunnel, Rogan blowing up Dee's spot politically, Jenny STILL not understanding the political/social aspect of the game, and finally the double girls elimination sending Jenna and Kailah home.

Logan and Ali are back to recap the Total Madness final, along with some other nonsense.... we read some heartwarming iTunes reviews and discuss the biggest college football upset ever before jumping into our thoughts on the conspiracy theory relating to a re-shot ending (which we don't buy), WHY there could possibly be a tribunal and elimination during a final, the lack of variety making it not translate to tv as well as other finals, and why the legitimacy of the competition on The Challenge doesn't actually matter.

Logan and Jono are back to discuss Lovecraft horror, modern adaptations and the brilliant new HBO series 'Lovecraft Country'. We start with our history with Lovecraft stories, and how we need to look at the whole picture with Lovecraft's horror sub-genre he created while also understanding he was a highly problematic, racist man. Therein lies the brilliance of using his concepts to feature in a black story about a man finding his father during the Jim Crow era. We recap the episode by discussing the themes presented along with some of the minor details you may have missed! We're super excited to be chatting about this series every week and hope you follow along!

With our protagonists back in Chicago and trying to decompress from the events in Ardham, Leti buys a sanctuary house that is both haunted by spirits, and starts getting terrorized by her white neighbors. This self contained ghost story episode is another fascinating chapter in the postmodern look at Lovecraftian ideas.

The backstory of Ji-Ah told us the story of a kumiho summoned to avenge the sexual assault of a shamed womans daughter, but Ji-Ah's story if so much more than just that as she falls in love with the man who murders her best friend and even foretells his death.

Logan and Ali are back to discuss episode 2 of Double Agents, with so much social-political drama going on in the house, it was bound to spill over into the Challenge itself. Production really leaned into finding out where everyone allegiances lie and it left us with the most anticlimactic moment in the history of the show. Everyone playing terrified of Fessy and Aneesa is not a good look, but at least some Challengers are attempting to make Big moves. Our favorite Brit, Big T is out here trying to scheme her way out of having Joseph as a partner and is successful because by the end of the episode she has the biggest upgrade in partners in the shows long history!
