Season 30, Episode 22: AscendDONMEGA is back for episode #199 of *Am I On The Air?* on the PopCulturePros Network—your go-to stop for everything new, nerdy, and binge-worthy in the world of TV and movies. With decades of experience and that signature mix of sharp wit and real fan passion, he’s breaking down all the entertainment buzz from September 24 through September 30, 2025.This week, the small screen steals the spotlight. Kicking things off is Marvel’s wild animated event *Marvel Zombies*—a gruesome, gory, and gloriously over-the-top addition to the MCU that’s got everyone talking. From undead Avengers to jaw-dropping cameos, DONMEGA digs into what makes this spin-off both hilarious and horrifying.Then, he dives into *Wayward*, a gripping, mystery-filled series that’s climbing everyone’s must-watch list thanks to its tension, atmosphere, and rich character drama. On the lighter side, *English Teacher* is back for Season 2 with sharper writing, more emotional depth, and the same quirky heart that made fan

Week 4 delivered some real fireworks: clutch finishes, wild swings, and more “did that really just happen?” moments than your average Sunday piss down the subway steps. Farace, Tim, Melo, and Anthony are back to unpack the drama, but first, we gotta limp through the fallout.Let’s start with the injury carnage. The Giants lost Malik Nabers to a torn ACL, ending the season for their leading receiver and forcing Jaxson Dart to scramble more than he’s built for. Nabers was leading in catches, yards, and touchdowns before he went down. Meanwhile, Tyreek Hill’s return to Miami may be over prematurely: MRI scans revealed a dislocated knee, torn ACL, and additional ligament damage, officially making this a season-ender. On top of that, Lamar Jackson’s hamstring issues are still dogging the Ravens, adding urgency to their dire start. Meanwhile, in Week 4, the Giants shocked the Chargers on Dart’s first start—he put up 111 yards passing, a touchdown, and 54 yards on the ground in a gritty 21-18 win, and the Chargers’ o

Finally — Big Blue showed a pulse. The Giants pulled off a 21-18 win over the Chargers, and rookie Jaxson Dart got his first start and first dub. Kid looked solid — tossed a touchdown, ran one in, and actually looked like he knew what he was doing out there. Sure, he got sacked five times (’cause this O-line couldn’t block a folding chair), but he hung in. Cam Skattebo ran hard, the defense showed up with two picks on Justin Herbert, and Brian Burns hit that Spider-Man sack celebration like he just swung in from Queens. Yeah, it was messy, but a win’s a win.Now for the gut punch — Malik Nabers is done for the year with a torn knee. Brutal. Just when the offense was starting to click, boom — best weapon gone. So now it’s next man up. Maybe Theo Johnson, maybe Wan’Dale, maybe some dude we never heard of. Somebody better step up.Farace and Tim are breaking it all down, and you know Tim’s got that “Good, Bad, and Ugly” segment ready — probably with a whole lot less ugly maybe. Farace is still side-eyeing the play

Then, it’s Swiped, a modern twist on dating in the digital era. Does it match up with today’s audiences or get left on read?The TV slate is just as stacked. Black Rabbit makes its gritty debut with bold storytelling that’s already sparking conversations, while Gen V Season 2 explodes back onto Prime Video with more chaos and blood-soaked superhero madness. Over on Apple TV+, The Morning Show returns for Season 4 with more drama and razor-sharp commentary, and

Season 30, Episode 20: "Walk or Die"DONMEGA is back behind the mic for episode #197 of Am I On The Air? on the PopCulturePros Network, bringing his veteran perspective and trademark energy to another stacked week of entertainment news from September 10th through September 16th, 2025.On the movie front, the spotlight is on The Long Walk—a tense and emotional new release that blends suspense, grit, and heart.

Expect sharp takes, some laughs, and plenty of perspective as DONMEGA digs into these fresh series and what they bring to the table.As always, the ride doesn’t stop there—news, trailers, and al

Farace, Tim, Melo, and Anthony are back for Episode 127—Melo is planning to join (barring schedule chaos), Anthony might be crunching numbers in the background, and Tim will ride whatever wave the NFL throws this week. After Week 2, the injury tracker is flashing red: Joe Burrow’s down with a toe injury that likely needs surgery, putting him on injured reserve for multiple weeks. Backup Jake Browning did what he could, but let’s be real, losing Burrow is a gut punch for Cincinnati. J.J. McCarthy, the rookie Vikings QB, is out 2–4 weeks with a high ankle sprain; Carson Wentz is stepping in, hoping to salvage something. The Jets are also reeling—Justin Fields is in concussion protocol and will miss Week 3, meaning veteran Tyrod Taylor takes over. Jayden Daniels is “day-to-day” with a knee sprain for Washington; his availability is in serious question going into their next matchup.Meanwhile, the biggest “Is it time to panic?” alarm is ringing loud in Kansas City. The Chiefs are 0-2—something we simply haven’t se

Week 2 was brutal and beautiful all at once: the Giants dropped a 40-37 overtime thriller to the Cowboys, and it hurt. Russell Wilson threw for 450 yards and 3 touchdowns, doing everything but close it out. Malik Nabers went off too, racking up 167 yards and two scores. But penalties were the killer: 14 flags for 160 yards—including four by James Hudson on a single drive. That’s the kind of self-inflicted mess you expect in a horror flick, not a chance at a road win. And to make it sting worse? The Giants once again fell victim to the curse of 60-plus yard field goals, with Brandon Aubrey drilling a 64-yarder in OT to seal the deal.There were positives. Rookie Marcus Mbow stepped in when Hudson got benched and kept things stable. Jaxson Dart got a few snaps, just enough to make fans wonder if it’s time to see more of him. Andrew Thomas is also inching closer to returning and could be back against the Chiefs if he makes it through practice healthy.Farace, Tim, and sometimes Dave (when he’s not poking pins into

Season 30, Episode 19: "2 Become 1"DONMEGA is back with episode #196 of *Am I On The Air?* on the PopCulturePros Network, and he’s packing in more movies, more TV, and more pop culture mayhem than ever before. A veteran voice in the podcast world, he brings his sharp wit and years of experience to break it all down.This week, the big screen gets double the spotlight. First, he takes on *The Conjuring: Last Rites*, the latest chapter in the horror franchise that refuses to let your nightmares rest. Then, he tackles *Together*, a twisted love story with Dave Franco and Alison Brie that fuses romance and body horror in ways you didn’t see coming.On the TV side, it’s a stacked lineup: *Unknown Number* dials up the suspense, *Eyes of Wakanda* expands the Marvel tapestry, *Devil on Campus* gets dark and unsettling, and *The Paper* delivers plenty of drama. Add in the return of *Only Murders in the Building* for its fifth season and the highly anticipated finale of *Dexter Resurrection*, and your watchlist

It’s Season 8, Episode 18 of The Put it in the Books Show. Tonight, Rodriguez, Farace, and Producer Joe (holding it down behind the wall) are here, while Keith remains out. We continue to send all of our positive thoughts and well wishes his way, and we can’t wait to have him back with us ASAP.As for the Mets—things are rough. They’ve lost 5 straight, look lifeless in Filthadelphia, and are now 10 games behind the Filthies for the division lead. What once looked like a dream season has slipped into nightmare territory, with the Mets barely hanging onto the final Wild Card spot while the Giants, Reds, and Diamondbacks are breathing down their necks.Sixteen games remain. That’s it. Sixteen games to turn this thing around or watch it all go to waste. The starting pitching has been inconsistent outside of the rookies, the bullpen is shaky, and the lineup looks allergic to hitting in big spots. If there’s any chance to salvage this season, the Mets need to play with absolute desperation and ride the energy of a Ci

Episode 126 of Unsportsmanlike Conduct has the crew back at it — Farace is locked and loaded, Tim’s along for the ride with his classic go-with-the-flow takes, Melo hopes to jump in mid-show, and Anthony’s questionable but always ready with stats and spreadsheets if he suits up. Week 1 gave us plenty: Josh Allen dropping nearly 400 yards in Buffalo’s comeback, Derrick Henry looking like an unstoppable freight train — until he coughed up the ball and basically hand-delivered momentum to the Bills. The Dolphins? Flat-out embarrassing. Tua looked shaky, the defense couldn’t stop a Pop Warner team, and fans in Miami are already bracing for another season of disappointment. Up north, Giants fans are chanting for Jaxson Dart to replace Wilson before September even cools off — which tells you everything you need to know about how rough things looked in Week 1.Week 2 is lining up with some can’t-miss matchups. The Super Bowl rematch between the Chiefs and Eagles takes center stage in Arrowhead, and Mahomes is already

The ⋯We Stomped You Out⋯ crew is back for Season 8, Episode 2, and if you thought Groundhog Day was over, think again—because Farace and Tim are officially reliving Week 1’s misery. The Giants got stomped by the Commanders, 21–6, and it was rough. Russell Wilson completed just 17 of 37 attempts for 168 yards, failing to find the end zone once. Offensive frustrations were clear: the line looked like Swiss cheese without Andrew Thomas (still sidelined with a foot injury), and the red zone was a total disaster. The run game? A joke—74 yards total, 44 of which came from Wilson himself scrambling. This marks the third straight season opener without a touchdown—historic in its bleakness.To say Malik Nabers was irritated would be an understatement. He hauled in five grabs for 71 yards but was spotted in a heated sideline exchange with Coach Daboll—no handshake, no love, just raw frustration. Meanwhile, rookie defender Abdul Carter showed flashes—lights out in limited action, with pressures, a QB hit, and even a spec

Season 30 Episode 18: "Toxic Summer"DONMEGA is back for episode #195 of *Am I On The Air?* on the PopCulturePros Network, covering all the movie and TV buzz from August 27 to September 2, 2025. The heat might be fading outside, but the entertainment world is only getting hotter.On the movie side, it’s a wild double feature: the gonzo madness of *The Toxic Avenger: Unrated*—is this cult-classic reboot gross-out brilliance or just toxic waste?—and *Hell of a Summer*, a sharp mix of horror and dark comedy that might just be the surprise hit of the season.TV fans are in for a ride too. We’re talking *The Terminal List: Dark Wolf*, a new chapter in the hit Prime Video action series, plus *The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox*, a docu-drama that’s already stirring up conversation. Add in plenty more notes, trailers, and buzz to keep your screens full.With sharp wit, deep insight, and years of podcasting under his belt, DONMEGA proves once again that nobody breaks down pop culture like he does. It’s a toxic summer, and y

Farace and Tim are back for Season 8, and somehow they’re still convincing themselves this is the year the Giants escape the Groundhog Day loop of misery. The offseason brought in Russell Wilson as the veteran “steady hand” at quarterback, but rookie Jaxson Dart is already looming as QB2 and looking like the guy who might get the call when things inevitably spiral. Malik Nabers, fresh off a monster Pro Bowl rookie year, headlines an offense that actually has some playmakers this time, with Cam Skattebo and Greg Dulcich adding depth, while the line prays Andrew Thomas can stay upright and John Michael Schmitz remembers how to snap the ball. On the other side, Dexter Lawrence anchors a beefed-up defense with rookie edge rusher Abdul Carter and new faces like Roy Robertson-Harris and Jevon Holland trying to turn “bend and break” into something slightly less embarrassing.But here’s the rub—this team has the NFL’s toughest schedule. Ten playoff teams, early back-to-back road trips in the NFC East, and a murderers’

Get ready, because Episode 125 of Unsportsmanlike Conduct is about to blow the roof off your expectations—maybe even Joey’s roof. With Farace, Tim, and Anthony at the table (Melo’s off tonight—taking one hit for the Flock, rest up, buddy), we dive headfirst into the two hottest burning questions: what’s the NFL looking like heading toward Wild Card Weekend, and just how messy are the Clippers in L.A.?First, the NFL. The division races are already shaping up to be more chaotic than a meltdown in a sports bar. Analysts are banking on the usual suspects—chiefly the Chiefs holding the AFC West—but whispering that the Broncos and Chargers could crash the party and steal those wildcard pockets. The Bengals, Broncos, and Chargers are being pegged as the top three AFC wild-card picks with the Chiefs maybe just hanging on by a thread. On the NFC side, it’s still anyone’s game (Eagles? Yeah, but let’s not go there), with power surges and sleeper picks lurking. And because your favorite podcast can’t help itself… we’ll
