  • Short Stacked and the MCU Battle of New York

    Short Stacked and the MCU Battle of New York
    Sep 29 2026
    Walking away from a bad table is easy advice when you have money to come back with. Matthew Fox and co-host Paul Hoppe, a professional poker player and writer, spend the hour on what it means to be short stacked or underrolled. They open by remembering Tim Curry, Dolly Parton, Peter Cullen, and Hayden Panettiere, then Paul explains how stack size and bankroll hand one player power over another.That power gap turns up in rent due tomorrow, in lotteries, and in a hundred-dollar long shot that looks very different when it’s grocery money. Matthew reruns the order to nuke New York in “The Avengers” as a risk calculation, Paul insists on calling it what it is, and Scarlet Witch’s choice in Lagos gets the same scrutiny. When you only get one try, how much are you willing to put on the table?

  • Profiling

    Profiling
    Sep 22 2026
    Every time you size someone up by their demographics, whether at a poker table or a police stop, you’re profiling them, and it’s worth asking why. On Superhero Ethics, Matthew Fox and Paul Hoppe dig into the different flavors of profiling, from the ways poker players read opponents to the much higher stakes of police profiling on the street.They trace how casinos and comic book movies lean on the same shortcuts, and where those shortcuts turn into real harm. Paul explains why the MIT Blackjack Team’s Asian card counters mattered to the story that “21” erased entirely, and Matthew connects it to how superhero comics decide which stereotypes a character gets to subvert. So how much of your own read on a stranger is actually information, and how much is just a story you already wanted to believe?

  • I Quit: Sometimes You Don’t Have to “Do This All Day”

    I Quit: Sometimes You Don’t Have to “Do This All Day”
    Sep 15 2026
    On this episode, poker player and co-host Paul joins Matthew Fox to argue that quitting isn’t a moral failure, it’s a skill; one poker forces you to practice on every hand and superhero movies almost never reward. They test the idea against Steve Rogers hanging up the shield and Tony Stark’s gamble on Ultron.Paul walks through deliberately quitting the MCU and a Mets season gone bad, Matthew explains how fatherhood rewired what counts as quittable, and both admit to a guitar habit revived a little too aggressively. The real question underneath it all: if you’re not consciously choosing to keep going, are you really choosing at all?
