The Media Gloryhole Podcast
We started off with a thought years ago: We sit in the garage and talk about music, movies and everything else media-related, maybe we should start a podcast. So, we came up with a plan, and now we talk about everything we watch and listen to, read and play, and we bring you our honest opinions and hopefully make you laugh along the way.
Parental advisory: We curse and say funny things, and we make jokes along the way. We are not for the faint of heart. But we're fun.
This should cover our ASSets.

The Media Gloryhole Podcast
EP 84 — Murder Most Entertaining
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
00:01:50 — This Week Was Fucked
Michigan weather, power outages, headaches, work, and Mother Nature deciding everyone needed a beating.
00:07:21 — Only the Media Gloryhole Matters
Apparently jobs, children, and basic responsibilities are now secondary to podcast preparation.
00:09:24 — TikTok / Anime Titles Have Gone Too Far
Fake anime titles somehow become believable enough that we start wanting to watch them.
00:12:46 — Burger King Dragon Ball Z
Jason buys kids’ meals for the Dragon Ball toys, starts collecting Goku and Vegeta, and immediately gets dragged for how deep into weeb territory he’s gone.
00:14:07 — Honest Kids Apple Juice Is Apparently a Crime
Water briefly introduced to an apple and sold as juice.
00:17:50 — Jason Is Such a Good Weeb
Goku, Piccolo, Beerus, Ultra Instinct and the slow realization that Anime Month may have permanently damaged us.
RANDOM MEDIA & RANTS
00:22:38 — Gal Gadot / The Runner
A thriller premise so ridiculous Jason almost watched the movie purely to complain about it. Tony volunteers to take one for the team next week.
00:26:08 — Summer Rant
Tony admits he likes summer.
This was a mistake.
The conversation eventually reaches lions, snakes, heat stroke and why apparently no animal actually enjoys being hot.
00:35:50 — Halloween Stuff
Halloween decorations, Christmas lights and the proposed Halloween Glory Hole Podcast.
00:40:18 — Bar S Hot Dogs: Why Is This a Thing?
Even dogs apparently have standards.
WHAT WE WATCHED
ANIME HANGOVER
00:55:09 — Attack on Titan — Crunchyroll
Jason finally finishes Attack on Titan. What starts as comparing it to Monster turns into a much bigger discussion about storytelling, morality, secondary characters and whether Eren was ever really the point of the story.
01:01:38 — The 10 Best Attack on Titan Characters, Ranked — Collider
Jason’s first Collider list.
By the end, Attack on Titan earns a hell of a compliment: even after watching some of the best movies ever made, Jason feels the series belongs in that kind of storytelling conversation.
NOT QUITE THRILLER MONTH YET
01:17:21 — The Mandalorian and Grogu — Disney+
Not terrible. Just bland. Star Wars may officially be running out of flavor.
01:19:40 — The Nice Guys — Blu-ray
Ryan Gosling, Shane Black, detective noir and exactly the kind of funny movie needed after the previous week.
THRILLER MONTH BEGINS
01:20:44 — Clue — Paramount+
Better than remembered, Tim Curry remains fantastic, and slapstick mystery gets its moment.
01:26:53 — Se7en — Paramount+
David Fincher, atmosphere, John Doe and one of the all-time great modern thrillers.
Jason: 5/5
Tony: 5/5
01:44:19 — The Pledge — Tubi
Jack Nicholson and Sean Penn. Less about catching a killer and more about watching a man slowly fall apart.
4/5
01:52:00 — Dressed to Kill — Tubi
Brian De Palma doing very Brian De Palma things: style, suspense, sleaze and an ending that could only come from that era.
MGP MOMENTS
00:07:24 — “Your life doesn’t matter. Only the Media Gloryhole matters.”
Strong new employee handbook material.
00:14:08 — Apple-Flavored Water
Honest Kids apple juice gets reviewed considerably harsher than several movies we’ve watched.
00:15:04 — “Master Bing Bong”
Beerus briefly receives a new canonical Dragon Ball name.
00:17:10 — “I Need Help. I’m Ashamed of Myself.”
Jason realizing the Burger King Dragon Ball toy hunt may have become a problem.
00:20:54 — Jason’s Secret Anime Website
Tentacles.com becomes TentacleSenpai.com and things rapidly deteriorate.
00:24:39 — Solving The Runner in About Thirty Seconds
“Get to a park and run around.”
This apparently defeats the entire movie premise.
00:31:19 — Tony Likes Summer
Jason reacts normally by explaining the emotional state of every overheated animal in Africa.
02:13:49 — Se7en Is 20 Years Old
Correction:
It is 30 years old.
Everyone immediately feels worse.
