Crazy for Swayze

Madison Vogler, equine expert, rejoins your humble hosts for a quintessential 90's disaster flick that's more explosions than...... really anything else. Early on, Madison declares that this movie is for and about "sick fucks," and we can't help but agree. Thanks to The Suicide Machines for a much better version of the R.E.M. song - theirs actually ends!!! (EDIT: L.O.W.E. R.O...

Our last remaining dad, Eric Ketchum, rejoins the Swayze Boys, and this time we're headed to Laos to get our boys back from Vietnam (again). We're going to free the POWs, even if most of them were probably already dead! Dadvice #7: Don't forget how to be a kid.

Andrew Zalewski and Korey Brisendine - dads old and new, respectively - meet up with the Swayze Boys at The Nathan Arizonã Unpainted Furniture Emporium for another dadly cromedy romp. Dadvice #5: Let 'em cook! Dadvice #6: Drive responsibly. The Mizzerables: https://themizzerables.bandcamp.com/music

Guitar dads, Andrew Synder and Tom Skill, talk soundtrack and The Amino Acids in our conversation about a movie with a wild cast and odd understanding of time. Remember when living in the van down by the river was a threat instead of something your mom would like to try out? Dadvice 3: Be patient. Dadvice 4: Communication is key; don't be afraid to ask for help! Broadcast from Cow Haus: (Podcast):...

Let's revisit the Patrick Swayze Girldad Classic, Father Hood, with some more-lively guests. Featuring: More Kevin Bacon and Kurt Russell nonsense, and Tim the Toolman Tailor grunts until we're home. Dadvice 1: Hobbies. Dadvice 2: Don't prepare.

The Swayze Boys head back to where it all began and meet Disney Expert Kadee Spangler down in Texas (where a man still has enough elbow-room to wander). The SWAYZE Method returns! This episode is sponsored by Letterboxd.

Andrea Kaminski brings her recreational-sports-organizing expertise to the SwayzePod for another movie where Billy Bob is BAD, but this time, so are the kids! We deep-dive on William Robert's filmography and whether or not he has always been old. New cloud just dropped: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperitas_(cloud)

Neighbor and actual film professional Shawn Neil joins us for a movie where anything CAN(NES) happen, but barely anything does. Classic boomer shit. Achetypal nonsense. Cryptobeastiality. Full-frontal nudity! LITERAL PENETRATION! It's everything and nothing all at once. The CREEM documentary: https://www.creem.com/documentary RESYNATOR trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qu6KZjsAM0A&t=121s

Jo and Kyle - two thirds of Forest Bakery - join the Swayze Boys on a trip across The Pond to shack up with The Bean Family and their inexplicable house keeper. This podcast is very mysterious. Deal with it. Forest Bakery: https://www.instagram.com/forestoakpark/?hl=en

Padawan Katie Foster joins Jedi Masters- The Swayze Boys - for the first Star Wars sequel (?) that ruined everyone's childhoods. Pod racing! Child slavery! Offensive accidents! Vince's George Lucas impression! This episode has it all.

Friend and Letterboxd afficianado, Ian Spratt, rejoins the Swayze Boys for the sequel that would kill itself if it could: ROBOCOP 2. This movie stars everyone's favorite Civil War-Era Piano-man as Robocop's greatest nemesis yet, rivaled only by a man cursed to be a child.

Korey Brisendine joins the Swayze Boys for a trip back in time and into "The Old West." Early on, Josh mistakes Wheel of Fortune for Jeopardy (or vice versa?) and never recovers. Then, Vince misplaces Clint Eastwood in spacetime. Korey does math! And that's before we even watch the movie!! I'll bet Bobby Zemeckis loves online sports betting. This episode is sponsored by the Ford...

Matrixologist, Alicia Massey, rejoins the Swayze Boys for a final dip into everyone's favorite Jesus allegory. Neo is back, y'all, and this time The Matrix is undoubtedly capitalism. Lana Wachowski sets the record straight on the original trilogy's legacy, and drives home the themes we should've been paying attention to the whole time. This time, Yaya's fits are the powerhouse of the film. Alicia'...

Let's cut the bullshit on the Swayze Boy's Irish (and, secretly, Brother) Month. Dan Stover and Brother/Irish Revolution Expert Justin Dolan Stover school us on a real Irish film and real Irish history. Guys, being Irish isn't a joke. Justin's book: https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/distributed/E/bo208661963.html Dan's albums: https://extraarms.bandcamp.com/album/radar https://punkertonrec...

The Weishaupts, Allison and Kyle (Boondock Saints experts) join the Swayze Boys for an exercise in drinking, smoking, and talking shit about Harvey Weinstein. Interventions and interjections abound! Wherein we debate ultimate evil, Kyle is wrong about Keanu Reeves, and, for some reason, Josh finds himself sympathetic to the plight of Mr. Troy Duffy. This episode is sponsored by our Lord and Savior...

Jo and Mal, Ireland and Leprechaun experts, respectively, join the Swayze Boys on a magical adventure to the mystical land of Ireland. Randy Quaid (for some reason?) stars in this romantic drama alongside some period appropriate CGI and also Whoopi Goldberg playing A SHAPE-SHIFTING GOD-CROW (aka The Banshee). It's kind of indescribable, mostly thanks to the length of the media in question. This ep...

The Bolterstein Brothers, Danny and Mike, bring their brotherly expertise to the film we've all been waiting for: the Troy Duffy masterpiece known as The Boondock Saints. Danny flips his opinion on the movie before we even watch it thanks to the miracle of brotherhood. Mike casts Ru Paul as Willem Dafoe. Vince has questions about Lepre-commerce. Josh is accused of begin The Sicko. Troy Duffy: call...

What better way to round out Ghost Month than with a second rewatch of the Swayze classic? Immediately following their joint Valentine Date, the Swayze Boys and their beautiful partners jump on-mic to react to Ghost on the silver screen. Jo reveals a life-long night-terror. Josh misunderstands props. Vince refuses to understand ghosts or their physics. Mal offers a reasonable explanation. The magi...

Shane Stroud [aka The Haircut] and Andrew Snyder [aka Andy the Shirt] join the Swayze Boys [aka Vinnie Two-Toes and aka The Baby] to close out Ghost month. This shit is right up our respective alleys. Reject tradition and embrace the New Flesh. This episode is sponsored by Tubi (the ads aren't that bad!).

The Swayze Boys team up with Mr. Bathroom of The Future (and part-time Ghostbuster), Tim Allen, and cross the streams. Having closed the portal to Gozer's homeworld, they are free to talk shit about Troy Duffy, cigarettes vs vaping, and dabbing a sticky Slimer. This episode is sponsored by Tubi. Dan Akroyd: call us.

Kara and Zach from Oddity Shop bring their supernatural expertise to the the Swayze Table while we revisit another Swayze classic. Sam Wheat is a man made entirely of red flags, including his ripped but not-so-hunky sleazeball of a best friend. Tony Goldwyn sweats buckets while Demi Moore does very little except cry tears from each eye individually. Whoopie wins an Oscar. And Swayz does some over-...

Remake Expert Mike Smyth brings his appreciation for Japanese culture to the Swayze Table. Ultimately, we all enjoy this gender-swapped version of the Swayze classic. Get yourself a forehead kiss.

We close out The Renegades rewatch with fellow Swayze Superfan (and Equine Expert) Madison Vogler. The Renegades join a band and save their Cop Daddy from his arch-nemesis. For some reason, we recorded this episode before all the others, which will be immediately evident upon listening. Enjoy our final recording from the old studio! This episode is sponsored by The DVD Lady.

Vince isn't very good at math, but that doesn't matter on The Floor with Rob Lowe! This show is better than The Masked Singer (enemy of the show), but Josh invents one even better.

Danny Bolterstein rejoins the Swayze Boys for another episode of everyone's favorite Lowest-Rated Primetime Drama for the '82-'83 Season. Brion James is a robber who takes hostages, including a young Wizard. Swayze and The Renegades are mostly useless, as are the ads. This episode is sponsored by The DVD Lady, and, as always, Tubi. Also, Bigfeets!
