Brunch

DJ gets swindled by a Dunkin worker. We're out on music festivals for this year, for a variety of reasons. Long hair does not necessarily mean good hair. Also, a Patreon-exclusive review of 'Juliet, Naked'...for real this time.

Pete went to France and DJ saw "Greta." Which trip was crazier is up to you.

Did you hear the news about Chelsea Handler? DJ has a personal crisis (one zit that isn't really a zit) and is weighing the pros and cons of going skiing for the first time in years. Also, not to brag but the podcast predicts that the Celtics will blow out the Warriors and Gordon Hayward will be good again.

The bad boys recap an eventful Oscars. Should everyone just close Twitter once an award show is almost done? DJ explains the horrifying short films he saw while doing Oscars prep.

Our 2019 Oscars pre-show is here...We make picks and predictions in each of the major categories, plus come up with an innovative new term for things that weren't nominated but deserved to be.  In an unexpected twist, 'Happy Death Day 2 U' pivots the franchise from horror to science fair/buddy heist. Thanks we hate it! Also, horror movies are back in a big way thanks to upcoming Octavia Spencer an...

We saw 'Cold Pursuit' (the Liam Neeson dark comedy that isn't really a dark comedy until it suddenly becomes a dark comedy about an hour into the movie) and my goodness...what a movie! We were so enthralled by it that we also watched its Norwegian inspiration, 'In Order of Disappearance'...starring Stellan Skarsgård! Also: DJ recaps The Grammys, how to play a piano, and the reaction to Kacey Musgr...

The Bad Boys (who don't smoke) quit smoking once and for all. 

Since our "blast from the past" episode was so well-received, we decided to double-down. And just as we predicted (before it happened), the Oscar nominations have arrived. Also, we discuss the second season of "Friends From College" and wonder why the hell that show gets so much criticism.

The Bad Boys travel back in time to record an episode prior to its release. Also, have you heard about this James Corden guy?

It was a perilous journey but we survived Gillette's savage attack on men, so we'll still be able to time-honored traditions like targeted harassment & children fighting each other...LIKE MEN. Also, we review 'Vice' -- a polarizing movie that paints the Bush administration in the worst way possible -- and 'If Beale Street Could Talk,' which should find its way into Oscars contention.  

In a movie-heavy episode, the OBBs lament the Golden Globes and review Escape Room, Mary Poppins Returns and The Favourite.

Pete has a preposterous New Year's Resolution that he will most definitely not accomplish. DJ has a take on New Year's Eve and the phrase "amateur hour." We hand out some prestigious awards to close out 2018...including Bootleg Actor of the Year, Most Handsome Man of the Year, Best Performance by a Mamma Mia Actor in a Non-Mamma Mia Role, Best Achievement in Crying, and more. Plus, a Patreon-only...

"Welcome to Marwen" bombed at the box office, but was it really that bad? Pete thinks so. DJ doesn't, and he feels qualified to diagnose bad movies after seeing "Holmes and Watson." Also, people are furious at Instagram.

We're not getting invited to Christmas parties. (In fact, we are getting UN-INVITED.) We saw 'Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse' and can't figure out whether it's supposed to be 2D or 3D. We fight about which of us liked it better.  --  Stop being a goddamn poor and start investing with Robinhood. Get free stock at brunch.robinhood.com .

Both hosts are under the weather and not happy about it. Melissa McCarthy kills it in "Can You Ever Forgive Me?" Who should replace the great Kathie Lee Gifford?

This is officially an anti-nap podcast. Does ABBA exist in the world of Mamma Mia? Pete is stealing meat from DJ. We begin a campaign to take back the American flag and get Santa to change his traditional Christmas outfit.  -- Get free bacon and $20 off your first ButcherBox at www.butcherbox.com/brunch  

We recap The Christmas Chronicles, a Netflix holiday movies that is positively batshit insane. (Needless to say, we loved it.) We also review Creed II: Here We Creed Again! DJ has a "get off my lawn" moment and proposes a bold new idea to prevent movie theater distractions. -- Get a subscription to The Athletic for less than $3/month at www.theathletic.com/brunch HIMS will fix your ugly bald-ass h...
