The term “Gatekeeping” according to the Urban Dictionary is “a word used to describe when someone sets a standard/limit on what someone must do to call themselves a ‘true fan’ of something/someone”. Unfortunately, we see it way too often in Pop Culture. You’re not a fan of band ‘x’ because you don’t know their old material. You aren’t a true fan of ‘x’ TV show because you didn’t start watching unt...

Now that the year 2022 is coming to an end, it’s time to talk a little about what all transpired. Some good, some bad. We had invasions, world leaders pass away, but also triumphs of people as well. Started a podcast, picked up a new co-host, had a lot of good times! We’ll discuss those times, and a little bit of a look forward to 2023!

Well, it’s that time of year. Families will gather around and watch their favorite Christmas movies. From the films that are pushing a century in age, to more modern flicks, everyone seems to have their favorites, and to them, these movies will always be timeless. We discuss these movies, and we also give our answers about whether or not a certain Bruce Willis movie is on the list of Christmas Mov...

What were the movies that inspired you when you were younger? Were they the feel-good movies that made you want to be nice? Was it the movies that showed anyone could find love? Maybe it was the obscure sports movie that made you think about your priorities? On this episode, we welcome our friend Jenn Lane to the show to have a discussion about these kinds of films, and our own personal lists. Con...

Have you ever seen a sequel to a movie come out, and all you could think was…why? Have you ever noticed the movies that have their sequels go straight to DVD, or even worse…become a made-for-TV movie? On this episode, we discuss what makes a sequel unnecessary, and some of our own examples we consider to be, in fact, unnecessary.

Thanksgiving is a time of year for being thankful for what we have, and more important, one another. On this episode, we discuss our Thanksgiving experiences while in uniform, and how the military as a whole is seemingly one big family, even if only temporary.

Veterans Day is a couple of days away. Since we are both veterans, we decided to honor the day by discussing Military-Themed Movies. These are not necessarily war movies, but movies that have plots that revolve around, or include, military environments. Of course, we have our own stories from our times in uniform, so we weave those in as well. Another good discussion, and about a topic we hold dea...

Since we are only a few days removed from Halloween, it’s a perfect opportunity to have a sequel to the Horror Movies episode from a few months ago!

How many bands or singers have had careers that have lasted almost 50 years? How many have released 14 studio albums, 9 compilation albums, and 2 box sets? How many have won 5 Grammy awards? Of course, we’re referring to ‘Weird’ Al Yankovic! He might be known as more of a comedy/parody artist, but in our conversation, we’ll show how he is actually the realest person in the entertainment industry!...

This episode was originally supposed to be on September 21st, which is also known as Earth Wind & Fire Day, based on the lyrics to their song “September”.

Have you seen Season 5 of Cobra Kai? We have, and we are now going to review the season!

Do you remember when video games were still considered to be a “new” thing? Are you old enough to have received an Atari 2600 when it was still a new thing? Did you ever play Pong when it was a new thing?

“Two dollars! I want my two dollars!” This might just be the most recognizable quote from one of the funniest movies to ever hit the silver screen, Better Off Dead. The file just celebrated the 37th Anniversary of its release in theaters, so to commemorate that, we are going to have a discussion all about this “Savage” Steve Holland masterpiece!

What is it 1980s Pop Culture that everyone still loves? Between the movies and the music, so many things have either made a comeback, or people are discovering them for the first time. Did Stranger Things cause the resurgence, was the other way around, or somewhere in the middle? This week, we discuss these questions and more. Special guest, a former Air Force buddy (and self-proclaimed cinephile...

Can anyone really think of a character more loathed and maligned than Jar Jar Binks from the Star Wars universe? But…is the hatred really justified?

When asking people what they would do if they had the time and money, it seems the majority choose traveling. It’s the desire to go see and do things different from what you already know, or to stand in the places where historic events happened. On this episode, friend Heather Cook joins the show to talk about traveling in general, the places we have been, and even some tips for the long internati...
