The TV Dudes Patreon Feed – Details, episodes & analysis

On Patreon we review the 2006 cult oddity Devil's Den, and yes it is pretty stank. But it is also strange, messy, and kind of fascinating in the way only mid 2000s genre misfires can be. We had a lot of fun breaking down what works, what absolutely does not, and why this one sticks in your brain anyway! Plus it's got DEVON SAWA! We love that guy.

We kick off the new year with a dive into Tales of the TMNT season 2! Surprise, we had an absolute blast with it! It's got great energy, awesome character work, and a deep love for the franchise. It feels confident, weird in the right ways, and creatively fearless in a way animated TMNT should be...

Which makes Paramount+ canceling it even more frustrating because this season rules.

*No diaries this week, because we pre-recorded before the holidays.

This week, Nick sits down with the wildly talented Sam Haft - composer, songwriter, producer, voice actor, and half of the chart-topping musical duo The Living Tombstone. You know his work from Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel, the smash-hit animated musical universe currently dominating streaming and Billboard charts.

Sam joins us for a deep dive into crafting music for these fan-favorite shows - from the writing process, to early alternate versions of songs (out NOW!), to how the world of Hell inspires some of the catchiest storytelling in animation.

Check it out!

This week, we head back to the cinema to see Companion! Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid work out some relationship issues over a weekend in what looks to be a truly bonkers movie. Will it live up to the "From the Producers of Barbarian" hype? Did the trailer spoil too much? Let's find out!

Spoilers for Companion - We loved it, and you should see it.

This week, we dive into the time-traveling pond at the heart of Hallmark's The Way Home! John-Paul Vitale has chosen four episodes of the family drama for us. Will it reconnect Nick and Les to the past? Help us understand the future? Listen and find out!!

This week, we head to the theater to catch a Universal monster movie on the big screen!! Will this new werewolf movie thrill and chill? Or will we be left wondering how a dude LOSES hair during a werewolf transformation? (Spoilers, it's the latter)

Yep, this misfired in all kinds of ways for us. Give a listen for details!

This week, Nick and Les dive into the new Peter Berg (and Betty Gilpin!) western bloodbath, American Primeval! Will it rustle up some strong feelings in the Dudes? Probably. Will it be good? Listen and find out!

This week, we catch the new O'shea Jackson Jr. / Gerard Butler flick, Den of Thieves 2: Pantera! It's a diamond heist sequel to an action movie we loved, and we're hopeful the crew can steal our hearts again. Let's go!

This week, Danny Doggett gets us in the game with our very first Sports Anime! Nick and Les check out Haikyu!! and learn more about volleyball than they ever imagined. Danny's proven an exceptional show setter in the past, but will his new pick score points with the Dudes? Let's find out!

Plus, we chat about the finale of the bestest Disney Star Wars in the whole galaxy, SKELETON CREW!
