Brunch

The podcast goes to couples therapy but the future looks bright. Chance The Rapper asks a silly question but it leads us to wonder what the perfect amount of friends for an adult is. (Hint: Not a lot.) DJ buys a luxury item that turns out to be a massive disappointment. How should we be buttoning our dress shirts? Kids are snorting condoms because we took their Tide Pods away. 'Jersey Shore' is ba...

The bad boys go into detail on their process and worry about CHVRCHES' latest releases. 

DJ issues a semi-apology and clears the air. The boys got together with a crew and went to see 'Ready Player One' without Jeff Israel, who may or may not have planned the outing. The movie drew mixed reviews, though the theater experience was a lively one. America is going to turn into a "Black Mirror" episode at some point, and DJ is already horrified at the thought. Pete rediscovers a vice and i...

Some idiot man proposed by editing himself into 'Love Actually' and we hope that marriage burns to the ground. Pete shares a jukebox anecdote and DJ gets very upset, leading to a rare podcast disagreement. 'Silicon Valley' returned with a strong start, but still leaves us wanting more. The series premiere of 'Barry' is also discussed.  -- Support the show on Patreon: www.patreon.com/listentobrunch...

We don't necessarily like Josh Gad, but we also don't dislike him. This is the episode. 

"Love" is over after three seasons and it ended with its best stuff yet. Also, which holidays can you celebrate on multiple weekends? 

The end of the world is coming sooner than we thought. People are calling 'Red Sparrow' problematic and we are furious over it. DJ has an idea to fix the Oscars. It's time to set some ground rules for making fun of 'The Shape of Water.' You ever just see someone dancing at the bar and get totally inspired? We did. There's another Christopher Robin movie coming out, and who the hell cares? Paddingt...

A lovely recap of the 2018 Oscars, during which two boys wonder what it's like to have as much joy as Timothee Chalamet.  -- Support the show on Patreon: www.patreon.com/listentobrunch

Oscar SZN, folks. It's time to dive into each of the major categories and make our picks and predictions.

After having multiple episodes talking about talking about dessert, the bad boys actually talk about dessert. DJ has a wild sneaking-food-into-the-movies experience and Pete has some fun work days. 

Can you guess DJ's favorite dessert? Probably not! It's Monday and people are pissed that Peter Rabbit made jokes about food allergies, which leads to a disagreement on the show. This season of 'Crashing' has been so good that it's making us come around on Pete Holmes, and yet nobody is really talking about it. A hilarious revelation is made while discussing who would be the dom/sub on the podcast...

The time has come: It's time to wash our hands of the '50 Shades' trilogy with the final installment, 50 SHADES FREED.

DJ can't quite figure out how coffee travel mugs are supposed to work. We dish out some love to Scrubs, a very good sitcom with some very good characters. Why is movie sex always so weird and dumb...are we doing it wrong? We discuss Pink's Super Bowl anthem and Justin Timberlake's halftime show, and why the reaction to both of them was kind of ridiculous. Also, the Imagine Dragons had their lawyer...

The boys are forced to do a remote episode after work obligations split them up. Pete went to Tampa for the NHL All-Star Game and tried to befriend Taylor Kitsch; DJ went to Minnesota for the Super Bowl and never left the Mall of America.
