Mike and Jim discuss and debate non-documentary movies and television shows that use fictionalized history in their storytelling, including possible historical events that could have inspired a myth or legend, exaggerated historical events for entertainment which could later become a myth or legend, and stories being told that are loosely based on historical events or time periods.

Mike, Jim, and returning guest host Brandon discuss the action role-playing video game series Diablo in the weeks and days leading up to the release of Diablo IV.
The first part of this episode was recorded on the weekend of the final public beta for Diablo IV, and features Mike and Brandon playing the beta while discussing their history with the franchise, as gaming noob Jim asks basic questions about it.
The second part of this episode was recorded two weeks later (just a few days before the early release of Diablo IV) after Jim bought a PS5, borrowed Mike's copy of Diablo III and played it for 10 days. Here Mike goes into a little more detail about the franchise, compares and contrasts Diablo II and Diablo III, and helps Jim better understand what is coming in Diablo IV.

Mike and Jim discuss Stand-up Comedy, including how it differs from sketch comedy and sitcoms, which is mostly what Jim has seen without knowing many of those performers are also stand-up comedians. They also discuss how stand-up is the rawest, most honest form of comedy, which is why it can be seen as offensive or controversial at times, but without stand-up comedy a lot of important conversations about difficult to discuss topics would never happen.
(This episode of the Fanboy and the Hater includes even more profanity than usual, and occasionally includes language and topics some may find offensive. Therefore, listener discretion is f**king advised.)

Mike and Jim discuss and debate Movies vs. TV, including their preferences, movies that should have been TV shows (and vice versa), how long a movie should be, how many seasons/episodes a TV series should have, remaking old TV shows as movies, whether a movie or TV franchise should keep going, and when it makes sense for a franchise to do both movies and TV shows.
