    Episode 3 - PickMe! Picks Apart Black Adam

    Episode 3 - PickMe! Picks Apart Black Adam

    Soooo much to talk about in this one because this is a long movie, and there is a lot to make fun of!
    This week, host TJW is joined by Contributor Jake as they again take on a movie and pick it apart. We discuss not just the movie Black Adam, but also the origin of the character, The Rock's role in planning this movie and the DCEU in general, and a comprehensive list of various franchises and careers this movie essentially kills.
    We'll also touch on the latest Zack Levi vs Dwayne Johnson social media drama. So much nerdy shit we're getting into today! Give us an hour and a half of your time to convince you why you shouldn't waste two more hours watching this movie! Ever! For any reason!

    Episode 1 - Star Trek (Again!)

    Inspired by a bit of listener email, host TJW comes back for season 6 by getting us up to date on the latest Star Trek series and news, conducting what COULD be called the part 4 of the Star Trek series from Season 2!
    Not only do we get a podcast review to open the season - The Greatest Generation - but TJW will also discuss Strange New Worlds and Prodigy... telling you exactly why you should watch these shows if you haven't already. We'll also have a bit on what the host thinks of the latest Picard season so far!

    PickMe! Picks on the Present - December '22

    PickMe! Picks on the Present - December '22

    You ALMOST got away with us not picking on you, didn't ya, December?
    In an improptu episode that wasn't going to happen, TJW and Dusty get together to Pick on the Present again because of some bullshit - and this time, it's BS from the so-called Left! Well SOME of it. We're also going to test Elon Musk's committment to free speech by breaking down his self-promoted expose of the Hunter Biden Laptop saga in conjunction with author Matt Taibbi. Spoiler alert... it's much more nuanced than they are saying. Imagine that.
    So tune in for what may be the last episode I get to promote on Twitter! And stick around for Dusty going off on Democrats for how they averted the Railroad Strike in the US.
    Fun times! Join us as we get pissed and actually do a journalism on this episode...

Finally! A podcast for finding new podcasts!

After years of Nielsen-rating level research, TJW takes on the role of audio connoisseur as each week he recommends the best of the medium for you the listener. From the hosts to the content and everything in between, Pick Me! is a great introduction to podcasts where one fan invites more to the party, all in the hopes of landing a guest spot

Incredibly Informative & Entertaining!

This podcast reviews other very interesting podcasts in a quick, convenient, and succinct way. The host is witty, charming, and really sums up the podcasts he reviews in an entertaining manner. Looking for the next podcast to binge? This one’s got you covered, reviewing many podcasts that have a back library you can spend hours and hours listening to. And when you finish that one, Pick Me has you covered for the next! I love this podcast!

Great new podcast!

I stumbled across this podcast by accident and it is great! Every episode makes me want to seek out and listen to new shows I’ve never heard of before. Some of these folks really need to have TJ on their shows. Great podcast!
