Hosts Paul and Bill tackle the weird, wonderful world of pop culture, collectibles, and childhood obsessions that somehow got more expensive with age. From action figures to comic cons, they cover it all with the enthusiasm of kids and the disposable income of adults (barely). If your idea of “adulting” is deciding whether to open the box, this show is for you. New episodes drop every week. Follow along and remember—we don’t wanna grow up, but we already did! ## Machine-readable JSON: https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-reluctant-adult-podcast-1191855 Markdown: https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-reluctant-adult-podcast-1191855.md ## Episodes - [Even After "Last Time," John Cena's Mattel Action Figures Still Go Over WWE's Newest Stars](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-reluctant-adult-podcast-1191855/even-after-last-time-john-cena-s-mattel-action-figures-still-go-over-wwe-s-newest-stars) — 2026-07-08T11:00:00+00:00 - [German Mattel Site Reveals 'Discopumper Skeletor'—AKA America's 'Gym Bro Skeletor' Comic-Con Exclusive Action Figure](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-reluctant-adult-podcast-1191855/german-mattel-site-reveals-discopumper-skeletor-aka-america-s-gym-bro-skeletor-comic-con-exclusive-action-figure) — 2026-06-29T11:00:00+00:00 - [Hasbro Calls Viral Avengers: Doomsday Leaks ‘AI Slop’](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-reluctant-adult-podcast-1191855/hasbro-calls-viral-avengers-doomsday-leaks-ai-slop) — 2026-06-22T11:00:00+00:00 - [Hasbro Toys Deliver the Latest Avengers: Doomsday Leak](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-reluctant-adult-podcast-1191855/hasbro-toys-deliver-the-latest-avengers-doomsday-leak) — 2026-06-15T11:00:00+00:00 - [The Bricks & Minifigs Saga Has More Twists and Turns Than LEGO Set #10261](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-reluctant-adult-podcast-1191855/the-bricks-minifigs-saga-has-more-twists-and-turns-than-lego-set-10261) — 2026-06-08T11:00:00+00:00 - [Law & Order: Bricks & Minifigs](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-reluctant-adult-podcast-1191855/law-order-bricks-minifigs) — 2026-06-01T11:00:00+00:00 - [Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x G.I.
