Brunch

Brave Dave tore his ACL, Pete has strep throat and we're all gonna die. After some corporate blowback, the BBoP are careful to please. The ads are good and everything else is bad. 

Taking your calls on The Morning Buzz! A moment of silence for the late Paul Walker. Holy smokes, Lana del Rey really *is* having a moment! Plus, a review of 'It: Chapter 2' -- a five-hour saga that we still don't really understand.  

So we didn't see it, or Midsommar (Director's Cut), but Randy saw the latter and we watched the controversial Dave Chappelle special. We also made a Taylor Swift playlist.

The world-famous Taylor tiers get podcast-first treatment for "Lover." Answering some curious headlines. "Ready or Not" pops off. 

NPR Brunch presents: An essay you never fucking asked for.  Popeyes' new chicken sandwich is making people lose their mind, but is it THAT much better than every other chicken sandwich? It's a bad week to be a gas station. Plus, reviews for 'Good Boys' and 'Blinded By The Light.'   Episode brought to you by FEALS. 

"Where y'all sitting?" is a smash hit. An old guy sang too many smash hits at karaoke and wound up in the hospital. While you idiots are asking whether a hot dog is a sandwich, we're asking more important hot dog questions. "The Kitchen" is an astonishing failure. DJ sees a Fast and the Furious movie and loves it. Emilio sits on Pete's lap.

We mock the worst meme in the history of the internet, discuss the new Haim single and where it came from, plus reviews of 'Once Upon A Time In Hollywood' and 'Crawl.' 

A very specific solution to Taylor Swift's current dilemma. The "crying about Mr. Rogers" fad is getting out of control. "The Lion King" was indeed disappointing. 

In a shockingly on-topic episode, the boys discuss 'Midsommar' -- the latest horror movie from Ari Aster -- and that's about it. Also briefly discussed: Chest hair and 'Ready or Not.'

A special surprise guest from "Stranger Things" joins the show to (not) talk about Season 3 and how everyone looks gross. DJ & Pete both agree the season was outstanding but they find reasons to complain anyway. Also, a review of 'Spider-Man: Far From Home' (aka Spider-Man 3) and a "BRUNCH Explains the Movies" for 'Midsommar.'

One of our most anticipated movies of the year ('Yesterday') didn't quite hit the mark, so we have a therapy session to work it out. Also, we get mad at food reviews and struggle to read ads. 

Toy Story 4 is the trashiest one yet and nobody knows who Jonathan Frakes is. Murder Mystery is a bad movie, which is OK! ALSO: Build your dream anecdotal rock band.

It took two weeks but last week's episode is finally good thanks to an untold story. Following Taylor Swift's latest single, we must ask the question....does she suck? We discuss summer looks, including a major gripe with bathing suits. Also, a bonus Patreon review of 'Downsizing'...possibly the worst movie ever made.

DJ and Pete go to the grocery store. 

Movies are back and they're back in a big way. We saw three movies this week -- Godzilla, Rocketman and Ma -- and we've got takes. We also rank our top five favorite Elton John songs and, in the spirit of Ma, DJ recounts a story about underage drinking.

Despite an absolutely terrible rollout, the live-action Aladdin was really fun, really enjoyable movie. Maybe the most fun movie since...*gasp*.... Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again? The new Godzilla movie (starring our guy Randy) is getting blasted by critics but that could be a good thing for us. 

The Bruins and Blues are meeting for the ultimate claim for "Gloria" and we're still feuding with Laura Branigan's ghost. We saw John Wick 3, which is the worst of the three but still a very enjoyable movie. "Barry" closed out an incredible season but is approaching a critical juncture for its main character.

The bad boys are getting bullied by people from St. Louis and an unusual twitter account, so a new song was made just for St. Louis. "Easy" is back and "Barry" is peaking.

Canada is melting down one YouTuber at a time, the new Vampire Weekend album is a Haimfest and one host is having upper-body issues.

A whacky stunt derails the episode before it starts, "Barry" is out of control, Facebook is adding a game-changing dating feature and the "Sonic" trailer promises one stupid movie.

Taylor Swift released new music and -- surprise -- it's very jarring. We introduce some new segments, including fit checks and one for the ladies. 

Two tired boys do a podcast

The Bad Boys realize people have only heard of music because of them. They would now like to introduce you to Maggie Rogers in 2019. DJ sees Pet Sematary and doesn't like being scared. 

Happy April Fool's Week: We present some ideas to reinvigorate April Fool's, such as a Prank Purge. We address our recent controversies with show sponsors, including a very dramatic email from [redacted]. 'Barry' returns to HBO and is it the best show on TV right now? It could be, depending what time you're watching!  

After one host is too scared to watch a horror movie at night, both bad boys successfully see "Us." Also, what happened to v-necks? Did you know Alec Baldwin used to be stunning?
