5 or More...

Happy Halloween! (well... almost) We're celebrating this spooky season with a JD pick -- Scream! Join us as we deep dive into the horror movie about horror movies and the joy it brings us. Afterall, isn't that what Halloween is all about? The "Spirit of Halloween"? No? Oh... ok.

In celebration of the holiday... you know, October 3rd... we're doing Mean Girls! Tune in to hear: ALL of our high school memories JD's status as a math Olympian What Kevin G is doing now And AY's hot take that this movie is almost perfection Bonus! Tish wants to hear what you can accomplish during the 2 minute and 25 second monologue that AY gives in this episode. Clean your kitchen?...

Remember two weeks ago when we said we made a mistake? Welcome to our mistake-recovery episode! You're getting a double feature! Robin Hood Prince of Thieves AND Robin Hood Men in Tights. The Robin Hoods. The Robins Hood? Either way, tune in to hear: how we balance talking about two movies at once how Wulf is the bunny and how Sherlock Holmes, Jack Kerouac, and Willie Nelson are connected to e...

Look, friends. We planned an episode to release this week... but realized too late it wasn't going to work out. So we pivoted. Welcome to 5 or More Music Videos! We're talking about one of our all time, most watched music videos - Jane Says (Live) by Jane's Addiction. What's not to love about a song from the 80s re-released in the 90s with a music video filmed later in the 90s? And...

It's been a week, friends. And this was not intentional at all... but our final pick for the summer of cult classics is a movie about grief. Maybe we all need this right now?? Let's hug it out and cry together while watching Garden State, a JDAY pick. Have you ever wondered what a serious conversation between JD and AY sounds like? This is a pretty good example. We've got character stu...

It's still summer and we've still got cult classics! This episode is an AY pick. The movie that taught us all "don't be that guy" -- PCU! Get nostalgic with us as we feel safe and familiar in this 1990s movie with its computer labs, floppy disks, ultimate frisbee on the lawn (JD has strong opinions), and we figure out what "what did the 90s smell like?"

The Summer of Cult Classics continues with THE MAN who suggested its existence! The one. The only. Josh "Savage" Kearns! *the crowd goes wild* This episode we're talking about a classic of all cult classics: Wet Hot American Summer. Never heard of it? Exactly. But have you heard of Amy Poehler, Bradley Cooper, Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, David Hyde Pierce, and Christopher Meloni? Ya....

The Summer of Cult Classics continues... with a wintertime movie? (JD doesn't understand the timeframe... again) We're talking about SLC Punk! [punk emoji] Yes, Matthew Lillard is phenomenal in this stand out performance and carries this entire movie... but can we talk about Devon Sawa for a moment? Yes? Good. Because we do... a lot. Please chime in on our debate of defining the peak of su...

You guys... we have an accidentally perfectly timed episode! Normally we have purposely perfectly timed episodes because AY is acutely aware of these things but this one slipped past her radar... or did it?? (It did.) Regardless, this week's Summer of Cult Classics episode is in celebration of the 40th anniversary of David Bowie's pants... we mean, Labyrinth! Join us as we celebrate Drunk...

Coming in hot with another episode for our Summer of Cult Classics! We've got an AY pick: Cry-Baby. And if you know AY, you know about her early-2000s love for Johnny Depp. But what you don't know (and, honestly, we don't know either) is why a large portion of this episode is spent talking about Jesus and John Waters. Tune in to find out.

It's here! The Summer of Cult Classics! We're kicking it off with a cult classic that we didn't know is actually considered to be a cult classic... Almost Famous. Pull out your Jeff Bebe t-shirt, put on your Stillwater record, and rock out with us... sans drugs... we don't know about drugs... Like. Subscribe. Follow. Whatever. Do it for the Band Aids (they'd love having fans of...

We love a summer theme! Thanks to a suggestion from one of our longtime listeners, this summer we'll be featuring cult classics. (But really... aren't most of our movies cult classics? ;-D) So join our cult! Whoa, whoa, whoa... we mean... join us this summer for our cult classic series!

It's the day of the episode, y'all. And we've got a guest! (Christopher and otherwise) We're talking about Waiting for Guffman with Apryl Peroney! We had a blast recording this episode where Apryl gives us a master class in improv by inventing stories about Corky, Bonnie, and Dr. Allan Pearl and we share stories from our own community theater experiences. Check out Instagram to see...

Happy birthday, AY! We're celebrating AY's birthday with an AY pick -- Sixteen Candles! (How appropriate for a birthday episode) Listen to hear: Which part of the movie AY is most excited to talk about Our reflections on our own high school dance experiences AY give a second by second recap of the last five minutes of this movie (hint: this is related to bullet point #1)

Happy Rex Manning Day (belated)! This week we've got a cult classic JDAY pick -- Empire Records! Lots of strong opinions and silliness in this episode: AY is a flawed narrator of her own life, so don't trust any of the facts she shares in this episode JD has issues with how the Empire Records store is run We go down a Margaret Mitchell rabbit hole (ya, like the author of Gone With the Wind...

We heard LOTS of opinions about our last musical movie episode, so why not do another? We've got a JDAY pick -- Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory! (Or "Willy Wonkers" as AY calls it) Theories abound in this episode: Was Grandpa Joe the villain? Did Wonka purposely plant the golden tickets for those specific children to find? What vice would get you kicked out of the factory?

Could you hear AY singing in preparation for this week's episode? No? Well, JD could. It's an AY pick - The Phantom of the Opera! Join us in this controversial episode where: We question the logistics of Phantom-led music lessons AY does an impression of Lin-Manuel Miranda as the Phantom Unfortunately, JD has weird audio at the beginning of the episode. Sorry! But that's show biz, baby...

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, so we decided to celebrate JDAY-style... with Romeo + Juliet... but like, the crazy 1996 Baz Luhrmann version :-D Together we ponder: Is Shakespeare the original emo kid? His hit song could be titled "Biting my thumb at the gas station". Are any of our listeners Shakespeare scholars? We clearly need help in this area. Should "Confessio...

Happy Almost Groundhog Day! We've got another JD pick this week and surprise, surprise... it's Groundhog Day! Have you ever found yourself wondering, "Gosh I wish I knew more about JD?" Well then this episode is for you! JD tells us about his high school project JD regales us with the story of where he was during the Blizzard of '93 JD shares his theories on time travel and m...

It's our first episode of 2026! We've got a JD pick this week -- Hot Tub Time Machine. This episode has everything... including things that have nothing to do with this movie: Rants about the Catch-22 of today's theater industry The Cameron Crowe connection (that doesn't actually exist... though AY still insists it's relevant as we write this) And Scott Patterson Tish invites y...

Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown! That's right. This week's episode is a JDAY pick AND a Christmas classic -- A Charlie Brown Christmas! Who knew an animated children's movie would inspire us to discuss: Commercialization The freedom to celebrate Time travel

Tis the season to be watching movies! And this week, we've got our first made-for-TV movie and an AY pick -- Babes in Toyland... a movie that is so long, you can wrap all of your gifts while watching it. This episode has everything as we wonder: Is this Cincinnati propaganda? How stable is a cookie-based economy? Are kids today weaker because they can pause the movie to pee?

Happy Thanksgiving! To celebrate this year, we're skipping the parade and going straight to the annual dog show! That's right. This week's episode is a JD pick -- Best in Show! And we've got a special guest joining us, JD's sister Courtney. AND like Russian nesting dolls, our guest brought a guest, her daughter / our niece Zuri! So many guests... especially since this movie is...

We love a cult classic and we love Clue. It's a JDAY pick! This episode has everything -- we ponder: What makes a movie a cult classic? Do we have any modern day cult classics? Is Rock of Ages a cult classic? Actually... we talk a lot about cult classics...

In honor of Devil's Night, we've got a very appropriately timed JDAY pick -- The Crow! Usually we say "this episode has everything..." but what this episode truly has is our deep appreciation for this movie, both the story it tells and the story behind it. Like. Subscribe. Follow. Whatever. Do it for Halloween which "ain't until mañana".
