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!

The busy world of Super7. The greedy group grabs two more beloved properties from your childhood, but is Super7 doing these characters justice or simply holding them hostage?

James Gunn gives the Justice League the boot, but his DC reboot finds the boot on the other foot. Is Superman fighting for truth — the American way — through litigation? Plus, speaking of toy scales — Is this half scale Power Ranger actually half scale or is this more of that new math? And Hasbro remasters the Power Rangers starting with Blue, but will fans prefer the original formula? The ability to speak does not make you intelligent. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

You’ve heard of elf on the shelf, but what about a Santa squad mint on card? Fresh Monkey Fiction saves Christmas by delivering their Naughty or Nice action figures in time for the big day. Plus, McFarlane dips his toe in mutagen as we uncover news about Todd making Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys. And, on the twelfth day of Christmas, NECA gave to me… a digital download! At least it wasn’t something from the Auto T Vault. Only one thing in the world could’ve dragged me away from the soft glow of electric sex gleaming in the window. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

Hasbro is making their list and checking it twice. Could the HasLab Ghostbusters Proton Pack be closer than we thought? Plus, it’s feast or famine when you dine on turtle soup. Adult collectors are living in the golden age of Ninja Turtles, but won’t somebody please think of the children? And, “Ho, ho, ho, pimp!” Fresh Monkey Fiction’s elves work overtime to deliver the Naughty or Nice collection ahead of seasonal irrelevancy. Why worry? Each of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back. It’s The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

Trouble in the toy aisle? With prices skyrocketing and products starting to pile up ahead of deep discounts, what will the action figure landscape look like as we enter the new year? Plus, a year without Santa Claus? Fresh Monkey Fiction delivers coal to our stockings as shipping delays mean Santa may miss Christmas this year.

As online deals overtake in-person shopping, have we forgotten the true meaning behind Black Friday? Spending cash we don’t have on things we don’t want. Plus, a-ten-shun! Drop and give me 20, expletive. We unbox Hasbro’s G.I. Classified Sergeant Slaughter action figure. And, we say “see-BYE-ya!,” as one of our childhood heroes enters the big Morphin’ Grid in the sky. Congratulations, Power Rangers. Victory is yours. You have gone far beyond the call of duty and saved your world from a terrible fate. The world is very lucky to have you, and so am I.
