Explore every episode of the podcast Fictional Fighting Championship

For once, we step out from behind the bracket and into the spotlight. Meet the hosts of Fictional Fighting Championship as we reveal our questionable qualifications, share the cinematic trauma that shaped us, and pull back the curtain on how this chaotic tournament came to be.
Plus:

• How we would fare in the bracket (spoiler: poorly)
• Some spicy behind-the-scenes fun facts and mind-blowing trivia
• Three brand-new character reveals — that might shake the seeding board.

This is your chance to get to know the maniacs behind the mayhem.

Two legendary lone wolves. One hell of a matchup. It’s modern warfare versus old-school grit as John Rambo takes on Clint Eastwood’s iconic Man With No Name. We’re talkin’ booby traps, cigarillos, red bandanas, ponchos, and body counts that would make history textbooks weep.

We run the Tale of the Tape, dive deep into each fighter’s strengths, and ask the big questions: Could a revolver ever outpace a rocket launcher? Would a spaghetti western outlaw fall for jungle mind games?

Plus: keyboard carnage, fantasy memorabilia, shirtless glistening comparisons (don’t ask), and your hosts rank all 5 Rambo movies.

Strap in. It’s jungle warfare vs tumbleweed.

What happens when TV’s most tortured protector faces off against TV’s most organized psychopath? This week, it’s Joel Miller (The Last of Us) vs Dexter Morgan (Dexter) in a battle of emotionally stunted murder men who just want what’s best for their very specific version of the world.

We break down who wins in a shootout, a sneak attack, or a long weekend of shared grief and moral ambiguity. We unpack Joel’s Zaddy energy, Dexter’s surgical kill routine, and—yes—we accidentally go off on Rita for a while. Sorry, Rita fans. She catches a few strays.

Plus: martial arts analysis, a death count audit, and the definitive answer to whether Dexter and Joel could swap roles.

Two legendary war cries. Two historically loose interpretations of freedom. One epic matchup.

This week, we pit the broadsword-swinging Scotsman against the javelin-hurling King of Sparta in a no-holds-barred clash of kilts and capes. Expect passionate yelling, slo-mo charges, and enough testosterone to make your speakers sweat.

We break down their combat styles, battlefield tactics, and cinematic absurdities—plus:
Which leader actually had the better strategy. Who's more dangerous without an army. Another round of Keyboard Carnage from fan reviews. And an argument over the earliest known slowclap in history.

So grab your war paint (or airbrush kit) and prepare for glory. This one’s gonna be messy.

What happens when an outlaw biker meets an outlaw cowboy?
In this dusty showdown, we pit Jax Teller of SAMCRO against The Man With No Name, Clint Eastwood’s squinting, silent gunslinger. One rides with a gang, the other rides solo. One favors leather and automatic rifles — the other? A poncho and a six-shooter.

We talk kill counts, grit levels, and tactical minds… and ask the important questions like:
Could Jax hang in a standoff? Would MWNN survive a drive-by? And just how far can you get with nothing but a cigar and a stare?

In this bonus drop, we're joined by the one and only Chris Reed — aka Filthy Phil from Sons of Anarchy — for an inside look at Jax Teller’s strengths, weaknesses, and all-around outlaw energy. Chris breaks down what makes Jax tick (and snap), just in time for our next main event: Jax vs. The Man With No Name (yes, that Clint Eastwood legend).

Come for the character insights, stay for the SOA love. Huge thanks to Chris for helping us keep things rowdy between episodes.

It’s Danny Trejo’s machete-wielding folk hero vs. Ben Affleck’s neurodivergent number-crunching assassin in a matchup no accounting ledger could’ve predicted. We break down their battle résumés, signature moves, and swing (literally) into the moment one of them uses a guy’s intestines to repel down a building.

Plus: The MacGyver of murder. Hollywood’s A-listers... and then people like Steve. And a few detours into accounting puns, emotional trauma, and a few strays in the direction of Steven Seagal.

"You f***ed with the wrong podcast!"

What are the rules? Who makes the rules? And how did we land on Dexter vs. Hannibal without burning this whole bracket to the ground? In this short, chaotic bonus episode, we break down the tournament format, reveal the logic (or lack thereof) behind our selections, and explain why your favorite character probably didn’t make the cut.

Come for the clarification, stay for the stubbornness.

The tournament kicks off with a truly twisted showdown: two blood-soaked masterminds, one cold table. In this corner, Dexter Morgan — the neat freak forensic tech with a moonlighting habit for murder. And in the other, Dr. Hannibal Lecter — the high-society cannibal who dines with elegance and dismembers with flair.

We break down their tactics, temperaments, and table manners — but only ONE can advance!

Plus: Surprise, MFs — we even get into the highbrow stuff like tucking, boners, and murder with flair.

This is your first look at the madness!
