🎬 Episode Title: Summer Blockbusters & Duds: A MidMen Deep Dive

🔥 Episode Description:

Get your popcorn ready! This week, the MidMen crew dives headfirst into the world of summer movie blockbusters—the megahits, the misfires, and everything in between.

We break down what really makes a blockbuster (besides a fat box office), tracing the history from Jaws and Star Wars to today’s tentpoles. We share our personal memories of the summer movies that defined our youth—think Jurassic Park, T2, Independence Day, Batman 89, The Dark Knight, The Goonies, and more.

We also get real about how COVID changed the game, what it’s like taking our kids to the movies now, and make our bold predictions about the future of theaters in the age of streaming, social media, and on-demand everything.

Plus: our signature Summer Blockbuster Association Game—where no topic is off-limits, and the first word that pops into your head is the right answer.

Whether you’re a movie nerd or a casual fan, join us for 2 hours of nostalgia, debate, and love for the big screen.

This week, MidMen goes all in on G.I. Joe—America’s Movable Fighting Man turned Real American Hero, featuring special guest Zaki Hasan!

We’re talking the full evolution, from Hasbro’s 12-inch military dolls of the 60s to the legendary 3.75-inch line that made Cobra Commander, Snake Eyes, and Destro household names.

We share our earliest Joe memories, the thrill of buying, playing, and trading figures, and how birthdays and backyard wars shaped us. We debate the best movies, cartoons, vehicles, and bases, then draft our Ultimate Joe Squads.

We also dig into GI Joe’s weirdest eras, best modern reinventions, and whether the brand can even survive another 30 years.
