In what might be the most violent Valentine's Day episode of anything ever, and in usual You're Wrong fashion, Chris, Luciano, Matt and Spencer put 4 iconic fictional couples through the paces of Matt's Completely New And Totally Original Scenarios™ in a battle royale for the ages! And yes, things got both bloody and weird, of course. It wouldn't be a You're Wrong episode otherwise, would it?
From every company buying every other company, to NFTs still encroaching everywhere, to Neil Young telling Joe Rogan (and by proxy, Spotify) to fuck right off, this is January 2022 (with just a pinch of February) in pop culture news (poorly) commented on by 4 nerds: The Monthly Roundup ! This month, the nerds were joined by Katharine the Great, who earned this very dubious honour by way of her generous donation to Extra Life back in November via Matt's stream!...
Using their now-famous powers of prediction, our favourite nerds talk about (and place bets on) what they think 2022 has in store for us. True to form, the conversation is pretty fucking weird right from the get-go, but some of the turns it takes are strange even for this bunch of weirdos. Also, depending on who's right about what, it's very possible that by this time next year, Spencer will be living under a bridge somewhere.
The You're Wrong crew discusses and reviews the fourth Matrix movie, The Matrix Resurrections , in today's episode and lemme tell ya: them nerds are not happy about it. Not that I blame them... this is thing is so derivative and nostalgia-pandering that it manages to both copy and fuck up the first movie's ending song at the same time . Not to mention doing the same to post-credit scenes. It's really fucking impressive, in a flaming-bag-of-shit-on-the-front-porch-that-causes-the-whole-house-to-b...
Holy moly, that came out of left field! In what is likely to be the most notorious (and expensive) example of buying one's way out of last place for quite a while, Microsoft decided to snatch up Activision-Blizzard wholesale (yep, it's a buyout, not a merger), and our favourite nerds thought it was too much of a bombshell not to... regale ... us with their thoughts on the matter immediately.
The You're Wrong crew was finally back at full main roster this week to rant about some of upcoming movies that they're excited/concerned about. Look out for the poll later this week on Twitter (make sure you follow @yourewrongcast there to be notified of it!) to choose which of these 4 movies you'd like to have them pick apart in a later episode! The trailers: – Everything Everywhere All At Once (Including Sausage Fingers And Exploding Confetti Heads) – Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (if you think you've...
From fart jars being sold for literal thousands of dollars (no, really), to Disney not really understanding what "metaverse" means, to hoping Jude Law and Mads Mikkelsen can save the next Fantastic Beasts movie from being a total flop, this is December 2021 (with a smidge of January 2022!) in pop culture news (poorly) commented on by 3 (😱) nerds : The Monthly Roundup !
Happy New Year! For their first episode of 2022, our favourite nerds decided to share their thoughts about Red Notice . And, just like the movie, their conversation was pretty much a paint-by-numbers affair... which, in the case of a You're Wrong episode, means it was the usual hectic mess of puns, lewd remarks and off-the-rails tangents.
The You're Wrong nerds decided to put their much-flaunted creativity to the test by playing a game of Fiasco , centred around a office Christmas party attended by some very shady individuals. Clifford "Big Cliff" Theodore (Chris), Josefina "Jo" Cannon (Luciano), Vaspasian Irene (Matt) and Tad O'Celery (Spencer) all have highly ambitious goals... but very little in the way of an actual plan. What could possibly go wrong?...
Never mind the dumb idiot that writes the episode summary, he knows nothing. I'll explain what this is: it's a bonus Christmas episode of You're Wrong ! Matt's lovely wife Laura and a group of her friends did a You're Wrong -style analysis of the 2003 movie Love Actually . Some people love it, other people ( cough Matt cough ) hate it... which one are you?
This week's Battle Royale comes with two twists: one, the nerds invited their buddy Mike to participate; two, this one is not just a battle — it's a battle for the position of Santa Claus, fought by the contenders' agents! Thoby the H.R. Elf (as played by Chris) interviews 4 very strong candidates for the job of Father Christmas, and I'm sure I don't have to tell you that complete mayhem ensues.
Yes, they went there. Even though it's sacrilegious and very likely a heresy, Chris, Luciano, Matt and Spencer — joined by Spencer's significantly better half, Ashley — tried their hand at recasting Star Trek: The Next Generation . Tears were shed, blood was spilled and very dubious casting choices were made... In the end, one question remains: were they actually able to do it?
From Bobby Kotick's epic asshattery, to the possibility of seven entire seasons of Henry Cavill grunting "Hm" as Geralt of Rivia, to YouTube thinking that sweeping social media toxicity under the rug is a solution to anything , this is November 2021 (and not a drop of December) in pop culture news (poorly) commented on by 3 (😮) nerds : The Monthly Roundup ! And for this month's commentary, the nerds are joined by Matt's lovely wife, Laura!
With Chris from Whitby out for the count as he works towards becoming Chris not from Whitby, Luciano, Matt and Spencer are joined by their buddy Nick for a brand new Battle Royale ! This time, they're duking it out to figure out who picked the coolest weapon around. Once again, Matt runs everyone through situations he created via his Totally Original Hypothetical Scenario Generator™ and, uh... things take some weird turns. Which, now that I think about it, is sort of the norm around here....
Join us this week as the You're Wrong crew shares their thoughts and hot takes about Dune (the 2021 movie, not the 1984 David Lynch one... although listening to Chris talk about it, you'd be excused for thinking otherwise). And, as a bonus, they decided to record and release the entire conversation, rather than arbitrarily cut it in half. They're generous like that.
This week, Chris, Luciano, Matt and Spencer are joined by their buddy (and Extra Life Team Captain) Scott to discuss how this year's Extra Life event went... and to rant about some trailers! The mix was more varied this time: they talked about 3 upcoming games, an upcoming movie and an upcoming season of an existing TV series. Their takes, however, were not any more varied than normal: it was their usual brand of crazy, spiced with an unexpected Battle of Scotts! ⚔ The trailers: – Halo Infinite ...
From cheapskate parents putting their children inside Amazon delivery boxes, to flying cars being a phenomenal idea, to Capcom finally realising which gaming device is the One True Gaming Device, this is October (and a hint of November) 2021 in pop culture news (poorly) commented on by 4 nerds: The Monthly Roundup ! —————————————————————— Thank you to everyone that supported us during Extra Life, from us and from the children at Sick Kids!
Join Chris, Luciano and Matt as they discuss their thoughts on Star Wars: Visions and their views on sequels, live-action adaptations, musicals (trust me, it's related... somehow), kyber crystals and anime physics. フォースと共にあらんことを！ ————————— Please consider supporting Chris , Luciano , Matt and Spencer during the Extra Life charity event this year!

Our favourite nerds sat down to discuss their opinions about Free Guy , using their now tried-and-true movie review format, and said opinions were... unexpected, let's say... coming from said nerds. ————————— Please consider supporting Chris , Luciano , Matt and Spencer during the Extra Life charity event this year!

From Jeff Bezos' desire to be a bald asshole forever, to the BBC bringing back the Level 20 Cleric/Showrunner who cast Resurrection on Doctor Who back in 2005, to Netflix doing an uncannily amazing job on the opening credits of their Cowboy Bebop live-action adaption, this is September (and the tip of October) 2021 in pop culture news (poorly) commented on by 4 nerds: The Monthly Roundup ! ————————— Please consider supporting Chris , Luciano , Matt and Spencer during the Extra Life charity event...
In a slight variation from the previous Pick a Trailer episode, Chris, Luciano, Matt and Spencer each picked a trailer for an upcoming game for which they had thoughts about – specifically, God of War: Ragnarok , New World , Riders Republic and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands – and had the other 3 hosts watch as well, so that they could all comment on it. Also in slight variation from the previous Pick a Trailer episode, while the insanity was still pretty much all there (to no-one's surprise), at least...
This week, our hosts decided to try their hand at reviewing a movie again. However, they weren't satisfied with their previous format, so they came up with something a bit off the beaten path, as far as movie review structures go. Unfortunately (for them), they chose to do so with The Green Knight , and let me tell ya: them nerds got angry . I mean, yeah, this movie is a hot mess , but sheesh, it was like someone pissed in their Wheaties or something. ____________________ MUSIC Basic Implosion b...
A new week, a new episode format! The premise behind this one is simple: our hosts each pick a trailer, preview or announcement for an upcoming something ("movie", in this case, but it will definitely vary in upcoming editions) and from the information they can gleam from it, they then build that entire something . What could possibly go wrong, right...? Turns out, it's a lot. A lot could go wrong. And boy, did it ever... 👀 ____________________ MUSIC Basic Implosion by Kevin MacLeod Link: https...
From Spider-Man: No Way Home social duty to memes, to Expendables 4 announcing its... dubious... cast, to the announcement of the most hype-inducing Star Wars project since The Mandalorian , this is August (with a sprinkling of early September) 2021 in pop culture news (poorly) commented on by 4 nerds: The Monthly Roundup ! ____________________ MUSIC Basic Implosion by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3420-basic-implosion License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Ta...
You're Wrong is taking a break this week (for reasons you'll need to listen to this episode to find out 😉), but instead of just skipping an episode, we've decided to release something Matt and Luciano recorded a while ago as a bonus episode, just to keep the momentum going. During the Disney vs. Star Wars season, they decided to watch Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker together for a second time (since they watched it together the first time as well) instead of separately, as they usually do for ...
This week's Battle Royale is a 3-way (Spencer-less 😓) brawl for the position of top dog among... robots? Androids? Sentient humanoid machines? It's one of those. Or all of those. Or something in between. Anyway, once again making use of Matt's world-renowned Totally Original Hypothetical Scenario Generator™, each host will try to prove why their pick is the best of the best among... *sigh* fine... robodroids (it feels icky agreeing with the idiot that writes the title and summary, not gonna lie...
In this week's Battle Royale , our hosts ran 4 of their favourite d̶y̶a̶d̶s̶ duos through some of Matt's world-renowned Hypothetical Scenarios™, in an effort to prove why their pick is the most iconic one of the bunch. Not gonna lie... this one gets bloody. 😨 ____________________ MUSIC Basic Implosion by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3420-basic-implosion License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license...
As anyone who's watched Terminator 2: Judgment Day can attest, the T-1000 wasn't ultimately a very effective villain. As advanced a Terminator model as it was, it ended up defeated by a group consisting of a whiny, angsty teenager, a badass mom and an old and clunky T-800 with an cheap knock-off of Data's emotion chip. So, in the interest of fulfilling its admittedly great potential, it decided it would need a mentor. But who should he pick? Who would be the best fit to serve as a guide in the T...
From Activision-Blizzard having the Pandora's box of its toxic company culture cracked wide open, to Mark Zuckerberg trying to bring forth the Cyberpunk apocalypse, to Ghostbusters 3 being a thing, this is July 2021 in pop culture news (poorly) commented on by 4 nerds: The Monthly Roundup ! ____________________ MUSIC Basic Implosion by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3420-basic-implosion License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license...
This week, You're Wrong is proud to bring you its first ever Battle Royale *! Chris, Luciano and Spencer each picked a starship; Matt created a series of hypothetical (and completely original) scenarios to put those starships on. Since Matt came up with the scenarios, the other hosts picked a ship for him to champion, and only told him which one it was right before the battle ensued. Each host then explained, with HARD LOGIC and COLD FACTS why his ship was the obvious best choice for completing ...
