Castle Super Beast

Castle Super Beast is the weekly podcast from Pat (Patrick Boivin) and Woolie (Woolie Madden), the surviving duo from the beloved Super Best Friends Play YouTube channel. After the channel's dissolution in 2018 and Matt's departure, Pat and Woolie kept the conversation going under a new name. Over 630 episodes later, the show hasn't lost a step. Fair warning though: episodes regularly stretch past three hours, sometimes hitting four. These aren't background listening sessions. The format follows a reliable structure. Each episode opens with both hosts recounting what they played or watched during the week, which often spirals into extended tangents about game design philosophy, anime plot points, or whatever caught their attention. From there they move into gaming and pop culture news before closing with listener questions pulled from email and social media. Pat and Woolie bring specific expertise that colors everything they discuss. Both are deeply into fighting games, and conversations about netcode implementation, character balance, and tournament scenes come up regularly. Woolie's background as a former QA tester and his passion for action games gives him a technical perspective, while Pat's blunt, sometimes contrarian takes keep debates lively. They aren't afraid to go on record with strong opinions, and their willingness to be wrong in public is part of the appeal. The show holds a remarkable 4.9-star rating from nearly 3,000 reviews, which says something about the loyalty of their fanbase. It's a podcast built on genuine enthusiasm and the kind of unfiltered banter that only comes from years of friendship.
