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!

Strike three. Take your base. Hollywood’s actors join Hollywood’s writers on the picket line as America braces for the prospect of entertaining itself. Plus, fans of Hasbro’s Power Rangers hope that lightning will strike twice as the collector-focused Lightning Collection begins to power down. And, hold onto your butts. Mattel’s beleaguered Jurassic World “The Gates” crowdfunding project is quickly approaching the point of no return. I call the big one Bitey. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should. Fans question whether or not Mattel’s Jurassic Park crowdfund will uh, find a way. Plus, unsolved mysteries. Whatever happened to Collector’s Crush? Hell if we know! And, ew gross! Zuru coughs up another winner with Mega Gross Minis. I'm not a bad guy! I work hard, and I love my kids. So why should I spend half my Sunday hearing about how I'm going to Hell?

NECA does the impossible and makes Ninja Turtles 3 palatable to collectors. Plus, Michael Keaton’s big screen Batman comeback fizzles as fans avert their eyes from The Flash. And, Green No More. Are the Power Ranges wrapping up production for good or does Hasbro have one last trick up their spandex sleeve? I'm like that guy who single-handedly built the rocket and went to the moon. What was his name? Apollo Creed? It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

Plastic-free packaging problems persist as the fig swap epidemic hits a little too close to home. Plus, put a little respeck on my name.

Super soldiers. G.I. Joe fans fall in line behind the latest HasLab project as the Dragonfly passes 10,000 backers in less than 24 hours. And, Dwayne Johnson is used to hitting rock bottom, but normally it leads to winning a wrestling match and not losing 60 million dollars on an x-treme football league and then being forced to crawl back to the warm embrace of Vin Diesel. Plus, I’m the Hulk and I’m awesome! The latest Marvel Legends reveal includes the coolest Hulk Build-a-Figure since that Target exclusive Red Hulk. You don't win friends with salad.

Unaccompanied majors. With bans on trend, how long until toy aisles are off limits to middle-aged men shopping solo? Plus, Hey, have you not heard the scuttlebutt? Live action The Little Mermaid updates the classic Disney animated feature, but nobody asked for a nature documentary. Let the fish play instruments! And, Into the Spider-Verse swings into theaters, leaving Burger King woefully unprepared to fulfil their Spider-Man Whopper promotion. Trying is the first step toward failure.
