The movie's about being 17, but a good 80% of these high schoolers are absolutely in their early-to-mid 20's and you cannot convince me otherwise.

STEVE AND IZZY from EVERYTHING I LEARNED FROM MOVIES jump universes to join the boys to talk about THE ONE, Jet Li's insane action movie where he goes to fight...himself. There&#...

Like Zoinks Scoob, I'm wearing a mesh shirt and teeny tiny sunglasses! Look it was either that or writing the whole thing in 3p1c H@ck3r L4ngu@g3. And that would be a pain in the @$$. DAVID ARNOLD from GIMMICKS and ARE YOU MY MOTHER activates his modem to log into a City-like motherboard and join the boys in a chat room all about HACKERS. It's 1995 as hell up in here. David's a young m...

For once, us bringing up ELVIS (2022, dir. Baz Luhrmann) not only makes sense, but it enhances the discussion of this movie! It's almost like we should retire discussing it after this episode, but we promise not to. BRADLEY ROBINSON (formerly D College Podcast and Cinema is Dead) finally pays the boys a visit outside of the Holidays in order to talk about BUBBA HO TEP. You know Bubba Ho Tep! I...

JT HOLTAWAY bursts into the room to listen to the boys recount their battles with a young composer who was sent to torture them by God, or something. Or would it be a young rival podcaster? Do any podcasts want to start Salieri/Mozart...

It's Son of the Mask but it's not like it's Son of THE Mask even though it's definitely THE Mask but Jim Carrey's not here so think of it as just The Mask not THE Mask also there's a dog.
