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!

Luke rears his ugly head once again in the penultimate episode of "Flowers for Alderaan." But what's a young Grogu to do? Did Luke's ultimatum "Force Push" The Child back into the waiting arms of the Mandalorian or is the path of the Jedi "the way" for this Padawan? And, milk'em if you got'em! Hasbro squeezes the Ghostbusters cash cow dry as they team up with MEGO to bring you the Ghostbusters toys you've been waiting for since the 1970's. Plus, Super 7 continues their race against Funko to acquire every known I.P. in existence. Are these new Roger Rabbit ReAction figures bad or are they just sculpted that way? I find your lack of faith disturbing. It's the Reluctant Adult Podcast.
