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!

Another Hasbro PulseCon is in the books and collectors are never going to financially recover from this. Except Power Rangers fans. They’re going to be just fine. Plus, Fresh Monkey Fiction “Weathers” the storm with their latest Operation Monster Force reveal. And, just when we thought we were out of Ahsoka, she pulls us back in! I'm a vegetarian, not because I love animals, but because I hate plants. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

The Pros of Pulse Con. Hasbro taps veteran toy personalities to anchor this year’s virtual action figure convention. Plus, Super7 sells in Bulk... and Skull! The perennial Power Rangers opposers-turned-compatriots are finally getting their own proper action figures. And, Marvel fans be goblin’ up those leaked photos of Spider-Man: No Way Home’s deluxe Green Goblin action figure. I bent my Wookie! It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

Hasbro’s The Ghost busts through, unlocking every tier on its way to a successful crowd fund. Now, all eyes turn to the Marvel team and their Giant-Man HasLab. Plus, Mattel asked MOTU fans to cast their vote for the next He-Man crowd fund. But who did Pixel Dan vote for? And, plastic is back on the kids menu and we’re not talking about the Frosty. I can't promise I'll try, but I'll try to try. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

It’s Morphin’ time! Power Rangers fans come together to celebrate 30 years in spandex. But does Hasbro’s tepid response misspell the end for teenagers with attitude? Plus, Mattel sticks it to fans with subpar Snake Mountain decals. And, are Star Wars fans still behind Ahsoka or should Dave Filoni have just quit while he was a head wearing a cowboy hat. I'm a white male, age 18 to 49. Everyone listens to me, no matter how dumb my suggestions are. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

Super Ahsoka blasts Star Wars fans in the face with some live-action Rebels! Do these characters survive the trip or is something lost in translation? Plus, we praised McFarlane for keeping prices low, so it’s only fair we call him out when his toys start to cost more than Marvel Legends. And, go POP! yourself! Funko allows collectors to create their own POP! doppelganger from the comfort of their own home. Just because I don't care, doesn't mean I don't understand. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

Over the ages, our action figures have grown more sophisticated. With Ninja Turtles, we tried a new one: Economics. NECA’s Sewer Diorama wages class warfare on collectors. Plus, Power Rangers as we know it may be coming to an end, but that doesn’t mean Hasbro is done finding ways to get your money. And, I tried to think of the most harmless thing. Star Ace Toys announces THEIR Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, but are Ghostbusters fans better off keeping their money in the bank? I choo-choo-choose you. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

I have the Power... Con deets. Toy people flock to Columbus to discover a new world of action figures. Plus, we loved Ninja Turtles Mutant Mayhem, so why didn’t it perform better at the box office? And, we’re green with envy at just how good this Mezco Green Ranger action figure turned out. A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

New York’s hottest movie is Mutant Mayhem. Inspired by a Seth Rogen hallucination, this Ninja Turtles has everything! Lactose gathering intolerance. A gay rat. And animation styled after your high school notebook doodles. Plus, Hasbro’s financials do not look Marvelous, my dear. And, now that’s the Spirit! It’s officially Halloween as abandoned retail spaces return from the dead one more. Ah, the Internet. The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

Thunder! Thunder! Thundercats Home! Super7’s over-sized scratching post reaches its funding goal with plenty of time to spare. Plus, lifestyles of the Chris and famous. ChrisCon brings out the biggest and brightest action figure celebrities the Northeast has to offer. And, I’d buy that for a dollar! Why don’t you make like a Dollar Tree and “leaf” some for the rest of us! My mom says I’m cool. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

Without movies dominating the headlines, comic books and collectibles retake their rightful place as the main event at San Diego Comic Con. Plus, Hasbro reminds us of what a successful crowdfunding project looks like as their Star Wars The Ghost project makes the Kessel run in less than twelve parsecs! And, the Toddfather makes Bat-fans an offer they can’t refuse, adding Batman and Robin to his 6-inch-ish multiverse. I used to be with it, but then they changed what 'it' was. Now what I'm with isn't 'it,' and what's 'it' seems weird and scary to me. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.
