It's May, and wouldn't you know it, we're on time this time! The Simplistic Reviews Podcast is once again....ON TIME!
This month we recap all that was the month of May, with a special guest appearance from America's OTHER favorite black guy, the DC Fanboy himself, Neal DaSouza. The quartet discuss the hidden beauty behind Grace Jones in "View to a Kill", where Marvel is finally showing the chinks in their armor, and all take part in a rather "arousing" rendition of "Kill, F*ck, or Marry." We also get a little literary, literally, when the guys talk about which graphic novel, book, or comic book arc should be adapted for the big or small screen in this month's "Simply the Best."
All that and so much more in their May Edition of The Simplistic Reviews Podcast.
Note: I realize that I switched between speaking in the first and third person, but that's just one of the benefits of being a little, how you say.......insane.

In honor of The Dark Knight's 75th Anniversary, the Simplistic Reviews Podcast got the whole gang together to talk about the legacy of Batman. Now you're probably wondering...what makes that different from any other show? Ummmm...not much. Although, the boys do hold an NFL style Draft of Batman villains who they think could kill the Caped Crusader. Afterwards the draft grades are given out by a very special guest arbiter brought in to class up and beautify the proceedings...Matthew's very own lovely wife Nicole Stewart. No, she does not show any favoritism. Yes, their marriage nearly comes apart at the seams. No, Justin, DJ, and Neal don't try to help matters. The boys discuss Batfleck's new Batsuit and also pick out their own favorite versions of Batman and Joker on a very special Simply The Best segment.
Grab your cape, your cowl, your shark repellent, and your Bat credit card and enjoy the show!

On this late edition of The Simplistic Reviews Podcast, Matt, DJ, and Justin try to catch up on the month that was April. They take their turn ridiculing soon to be former LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling then debut a new game called Simply Lying. The losers of this game will have to watch and review the 2004 film Torque. Yeah, they'd have been better off fighting to the death. We do get a pretty decent Terrence Howard impersonation from Matthew out of it and learn some of the lesser known criminal activities of Samuel L. Jackson. That, reactions to Star Wars casting, Julie's descent into HYDRA and much much more on this episode of the Simplistic Reviews Podcast.

Here's a drinking game. Take a shot every time the boys mention Michael Bay's new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. No, wait...you'll be dead in like 10 minutes. Okay, take a shot every time they insult Michael Bay's new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. No, no, you'll be dead in about the same amount of time. Neal DaSouza fills in for an ailing Matthew Stewart and helps discuss various members of the cinematic animal kingdom. From Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, to Alvin And The Chipmunks, to something called Rastamouse. (And you thought anthropomorphic turtles was disturbing.) The boys also air more dirty laundry in their most embarrassing segment, Simply Ashamed, and each pick their favorite non-Marvel Studios Marvel movie. I got my fingers crossed for Howard The Duck. All that and more on the March edition of the Simplistic Reviews Podcast.

Welcome to 2014! It might be a new year, but we can guarantee that the boys will still be as juvenile as ever. In the first full podcast of the year, the gang has some fun with words as Matt takes on "Word Association." From Shia LeBouf to the latest Warner Bros/DC calamity. No one is safe.
Neal also regales the gang with his adventures with rednecks at his local Monster Truck Show, and Justin mistakenly believes Shaquille O'Neal starred in "Hanging With Mr. Cooper."
This is just a taste of what you're getting into with this month's Simplistic Review Podcast.

In the blink of an eye, 2013 is over and we look towards 2014 here on The Simplistic Reviews Podcast. In this special edition of The Podcast, DJ, Justin, Matt, and Neal give their two-cents on the best and worst of the year in film and TV, and I'm sure a lot more.
Will "Grown Ups 2" stand alone as a worse mistake than Greedo shooting first, or will "White House Down" prove that Barack Obama is funnier than Jamie Foxx?
All of this and so much more on The Simplistic Reviews Podcast. Happy New Year and see all you clowns in 2014.

'Tis the season to talk movies and TV...and R.Kelly..and...um... Jolene Blalock's disappearance...and Lara Flynn Boyle? I'm pretty sure that's not how the song goes.
An oddly optimistic Justin Polizzi makes his triumphant return and unveils his latest character impression. Neal DaSouza joins us again to talk some anime and take dictation. DJ is confused over the midseason finale of The Walking Dead and discovers he has some sort of Die Hard Tourette's Syndrome. Matt starts an all out war between people of the Jewish faith and jolly ol' Saint Nick in a new segment called Dear Santa. And a crippled little boy is able to walk again at the end. It's a Christmas Miracle! Sorry, that last bit I made up or partially stole from Charles Dickens. But I swear, the rest of that stuff does happen on the holiday edition of the Simplistic Reviews Podcast.

The Simplistic Reviews Podcast: November Edition
As Turkey Day draws to a close, the boys recap the month of November with Anime and Asian Cinema aficionado Neal DaSouza. They talk about black films, black Kermit The Frog, and Blacklist. Not necessarily in that order.
The boys also introduce an old game with a new twist. A game titled with the infamous anagram K.F.M. (Look it up on the interwebs kiddies). Remakes, Wolves of Wall Street, and Roadhouse throat rips. Gobble up all that and more, pilgrim, on the Thanksgiving edition of the Simplistic Reviews Podcast. Yes, that was a pretty bad use of word play. So what? Sue me. Wait, don't sue me. I'm so incredibly poor.
