The Reluctant Adult Podcast is your weekly reminder that growing up is optional, but buying toys as an adult is mandatory. Hosts Paul and Bill tackle the weird, wonderful world of pop culture, collectibles, and childhood obsessions that somehow got more expensive with age. From action figures to comic cons, they cover it all with the enthusiasm of kids and the disposable income of adults (barely). If your idea of “adulting” is deciding whether to open the box, this show is for you. New episodes drop every week. Follow along and remember—we don’t wanna grow up, but we already did!

Hasbro lit up Ghostbusters Day with a tease of more Ecto Glow Ghostbusters, proving once again that when it comes to nostalgia, Hasbro ain’t afraid of no fan service. Plus, AMC is tempting moviegoers with a 17-inch Galactus popcorn bucket. Because if you’re lining up for Fantastic Four, that might be the only head you’re getting. And NECA’s Comic-Con exclusive has the Turtles ready to hang 10. But at this point, maybe it’s time to just hang it up. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

Monday Jun 02, 2025
Hasbro’s new Fantastic Four Marvel Legends wants you to stretch your imagination far enough to believe this Mr. Fantastic toy is supposed to look like Pedro Pascal. Plus, if bathing with a space alien isn’t your cup of E.T., then maybe Sydney Sweeney can convince you to grab your rubber ducky and take the plunge. And, Funko unveils a new Ghostbusters 2 Pop! assortment, but will we ever get to splash mommy? It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

You thought the AMC Dune bucket was crazy? Wait until you see what Jurassic World cooked up for their popcorn. Plus, Disney just changed the ending to their live-action Lilo & Stitch—and yep, we’re definitely in the bad place. And E.T. wants to phone home? Nah, he wants to chill in your tub. Lush just made it happen. To alcohol! The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

Son of a Bix. Andor left us craving and-more… but all we’re getting are these silly Jedi… [laughs in Huttese] Plus, Fortnite honors James Earl Jones with an AI Darth Vader—and the internet handles it exactly how you'd expect. If the toys are accurate, James Gunn’s Superman is about to throw down with a yeti like he wandered onto the wrong Christmas special. There is no emoticon for what I am feeling!

The MU-TH-UR of All Action Figure Podcasts
Monday May 12, 2025
Monday May 12, 2025
This week, we honor the real heroes of Mother’s Day: moms who didn’t throw out our toys when they really, really wanted to. Plus, Andor is back! Because nothing says "fun space adventure" like a 12-episode anxiety attack. And AI is designing new Power Rangers now, which explains why the Red Ranger has three helmets and a toaster for a chest. I learned that beneath my goody two-shoes lie some very dark socks. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

It's Gonna be May the Fourth
Monday May 05, 2025
Monday May 05, 2025
Saying goodbye. Only a few Andor episodes remain, and we’re already mourning the end. Plus, it doesn’t seem real. Mattel’s Jurassic World toys give us our best look yet at the “D-Rex”—and it’s basically a genetic turducken in reptile form. And, our hearts are broken. Just like the hollow chest cavity on Hasbro’s Fire Convoy HasLab. A girl should have her own private diary. I had to share mine with my uncle. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

Monday Apr 28, 2025
More fan channel retailers are revealing their master plans for surviving tariffs — and by “master plans” we mean... uh, hey, what's that behind you? Plus, Transformers and the NFL are a perfect fit — no squishy brains to scramble, no problem! And Andor is back, because apparently even our escapism has to remind us how thoroughly we ruined everything. My head full of long, luxurious hippie hair. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

Toy collectors are about to get a lesson in economics and trade disputes that Star Wars fans already got 25 years ago. Plus, guess who’s back? No, I’m sorry, the correct answer is dire wolves. Dire wolves. And, will LeBron be Kenough to help Barbie conquer that all-important adult male collector demo? The snowflake tastes like fish sticks! It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

All of a sudden investing in action figures doesn’t seem like such a bad idea. As toymakers navigate an ever-changing global landscape, collectors just want to know how much they’re going to have pay for Maximum Marvel Legends Hulk. Plus, NECA tells TMNT fans to take it or leave it. And, Superman toy leaks suggest McFarlane finally has his head in the game. Your headgear seems to be emitting a buzzing noise, sir.
