0:00.0	Hello and welcome into the Ringerverse, your nexus feed for all things fandom.
0:15.0	I'm Ben Lindberg, senior editor for the Ringer, buttonmash host, and recommends Rangler.
0:20.2	And I'm here in that last capacity today with the latest edition of our monthly
0:24.9	Recommendations Roundup, Ringiverse Recommends for May 2025.
0:30.4	As always, as those of you watching on video know, I am joined by my loyal recommendation
0:36.4	sidekick, the loving, fierce, and today somewhat sleepy-doxoned Grumpkin.
0:45.6	And Grum and I will be joined soon by almost every Ringerverse and House of Our Host.
0:51.2	In fact, every Ringerverse host is here, all present and accounted for, sadly, we are without House of Our Host. In fact, every Ringerverse host is here, all present and accounted for.
0:55.3	Sadly, we are without House of Our Host representation this month. Mal and Joe are off. They'll be back

1:32.6	but haven't had a chance to discuss in depth on a full episode.
1:36.5	Because, in case you haven't noticed, we've been busy pumping out the pods here at Ringiverse HQ.
1:42.3	We've been occupied with The Last of Us and Andor and Thunderbolts and all the other heavy hitters.
1:48.9	And that just makes this recommendations episode all the more valuable, in my mind at least,
1:54.8	because so many other quality releases would otherwise slip through the cracks and we wouldn't
1:59.1	have a chance to discuss them in depth.
2:01.1	So we are here to rectify those oversights today and give you a wide range of recommendations across media,
2:09.2	most of which are in the traditional ringerverse vein, but some of which break the mold a bit.
