Crazy for Swayze

Marijuana Expert Andrew Zalewski joins us (with a few beers) to watch a childhood favorite. Welcome back to ASMR Cast! The Truth comes out: Josh did 9/11 (and 9/11 changed everything). We talk granular housing costs, interest rates, and the cost of living with Weed Expert, Andrew Zalewski. Then market consumerism to babies! Featuring callbacks to The Replacements, a summary of the Spike Lee Joint...

Tiffany Marshment, Drumline Expert, joins us to watch The Replacements. Whiny rich guys want a raise, so former footballer Keanu steps in and builds a mistfit team of scabs. The fear/love dichotomy returns and things get a little heated in the class war. Vulnerability emerges as a common theme in Keanu Month.

Sadie Q. and Christie Laabs from Hip in Detroit join us to watch this seminal 90's action classic. We learn to start suspending disbelief and love the bomb. Speed drove so that Uncut Gems could lock a guy in a pawn shop vestibule. We all may not love it, but we can agree it's more than just Die Hard on a bus. It's also Die Hard in an elevator and also on a train.

Very special friend Katie Foster joins us to watch and discuss - for the very first time - Johnald Mnemonickom. Welcome back to KEANUCAST! Keanu is the Ultimate Hard-Bodied Hard Drive in this absurd allergory, that..... actually gets a lot right. Verbatim dialogue from this film: [Jane] "Well what DO you think about? When you're alone?" [Johnny] "I think... I want to get OUT of this rat-hole. I wa...

Keanu/Matrix/Black Clothes/Ass-Kicking Specialist Alicia Massey returns once again to wirelessly jack into The Matrix Trilogy. It's a simple end to a complex story, and sets up the themes - far more than we remembered - for the recent fourth entry. We like the part where Trinity sees the sun for the first time ever! PS: [the whisper of a nipple]

Dodge the draft and start a fight with the cops, AKA your dad - we're finally watching The Pigs vs The Freaks. We embrace FREAK POWER and Vince reveals himself to be more Normie than Freak. Josh formally declare BEEF with Robert Zemeckis.

This episode zigs when we expect it to zag, which intrigues Josh, but not Vince. Trust No Mike.

Black Clothes and Ass-Kicking Specialist Alicia Massey returns and joins the Swayze Boy in asking too many questions. We're jacking in to the second installment of this iconic franchise. Gather up your menagerie of defunct programs and get ready to discover WHY you already made a decision. The Wachowski sisters busted up 300 GM vehicles, Matt Damon did 9/11, and - as always - Morpheus is the power...

The Swayze Boys are confused about the message contained in this particular propaganda piece. Spoilers for Moon Knight I guess?

The Swayze Boys are back on our bullshit with special returning guest Matt Marshment, AKA Banana Boy. This is our first rewatch outside of our Christmas Tradition, and we have a great time talking about hauling loads. We’re all stupid for Swayze. WATCH THIS MOVIE, OR ELSE

Milf Manor Expert Alicia Massey returns to close out Dirty Dancing Month. Matt Damon is this week's villain and should probably start a Legion of Doom with Ja Rule, Bill Medley, and Bill Murray. We offer another South Park update. Featuring: more Australian accents and EVEN MORE conversation surrounding Rock of Love. Thanks for joining us this month and always!

Literally everything is conspiring to deter us from The Real Dirty Dancing: Episode 4, but luckily we have this EXTRA BONUS EPISODE with Danny and Pickle. We all make fun of Eric Carmen and his weird Hungry Eyes. Josh quickly tells Danny the plot of Dirty Dancing, which apparently he hasn't seen, while Vince pretends to know the words to Merry Clayton's "Yes." Then more Bret Michaels talk. Finally...

Danny and Pickle return! It's time for the beginning of the end of Dirty Dancing Month. Cousin Bergley - with the aid of Portuguese subtitles - takes us by the hand and guides us through this fever dream of a live production. Rather than adaptation, it's a celebration of the Songs of Dirty Dancing (and some other shit we don't care about). Eric Carmen (Hungry Eyes) plays Clarence Boddicker to Bill...

TikTtok Expert Amanda Deveaux joins us to watch the penultimate episode of The Real Dirty Dancing. She did her homework, and tries to win us over to Team Tyler. Vince insists that Beast Wars is good, but we aren't buying it. 

Dirty Dancing month continues! Get your positive dadditude together and get ready to have the time of your life. Kaila Duncan joins us as our Dirty Dancing Expert and we tackle the movie that started it all. Can a fetus be "fridged?" Does anyone know how to reach Conan O'Brien? Is the dancing really THAT Dirty? 

Prior Roommate and Professional Wrestling Expert Beth Wirick joins us for another game of "DID I HAVE TO SEE THE OTHER ONE?" where we delve into the second and possibly last episode of The Real Dirty Dancing. We talk Street Sharks and other brothers, and also say sayonara to Howie and Loni. THIS EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY: Stylish Jim's Turtle & Ooze Emporium (for all your Turtle & Ooze needs!)! Join...

Returning guest and Dirty Dancing Expert Alicia Massey joins us to experience the made-for-TV remake of our beloved classic. We search for rays of sunshine among the gray clouds of this weird "musical" that never fully embraces any aesthetic. Swayze-stand-in Colt Prattes is absurdly ripped. Cultural revisionism and lack of subtext work together to ruin some of our favorite characters and...

Dirty Dancing Month continues with an extra episode every week! Reality TV Expert and new friend, Madison Vogler, joins the Swayze Boys to talk reality TV and competitive dirty dancing. The King of Reality TV (Bret Michaels), is mentioned, of course. Howie from the Backstreet Boys rubs (or grabs) us the wrong way. Vince reveals himself as a Boy Band Expert. RIP to the host of The Real Dirty Dancin...

Dirty Dancing Month Begins! Havana Nights Expert: Jo Burke joins us and injects some knowledge into an otherwise culturally ignorant discussion. Vince does accents and impressions; Josh doubles down when he's wrong. Including: The Walking Dead updates, allusions to The Wire, and becoming a Beast

Meet us down at the Heated Nubbin where there's NO COPS ALLOWED! We're introduced to another Beastly Fed, another alumnus from The Wire, and postulate whether "law enforcement" might be the source of all crime. 

We quickly revisit the other Swayze music video - and Vince's spot-on Ja Rule impression - with Steven Fischer: Music Expert

FADE OUT, AGAIN? Music expert Steven Fischer joins us to discuss a song from a  band that decidedly does not rock and brings Weezer down with them.

GET AWAY FROM THAT FIRE, DROP THAT GUN! Interrogation expert Bud Koltys joins us to ask: what makes a BEAST? what's the opposite of a Beast Boy? and is this show any good at all? Bud tries to bring us down to earth, but Josh invents an elaborate conspiracy theory that's games all the way down. Vince dupes us with a silly question for everyone but him.

The beast brigade returns and handles some general housekeeping. Featuring the return of an old bit: "Why No One Work at Burdger Kimngb?" The emergence of a new bit: "Water or Sciences?" And a A brief interjection of Bill Murray-cast. Share this episode with Bill Murray and maybe he will come onto the pod and prove he isn't sad and weird. EDIT: L.O.W.E. R.O.B. loves cops bu...

WE'RE CRAZY FOR QUESTIONS and our favorite guests are going to ask them. One of them tells only lies, one of them tells only truths: they both tabulate  results in a purely subjective way. Vince wins with diplomacy. Josh laughs too much. Vince is officially Crazier for Swazye-er.
