I Miss You Man

What would drive a young man to embark on a suicidal mission to the world’s most remote people? Religion is a factor, but the death of John Chau certainly raises more questions than just fanatical faith.   Back in episode 111 The Ethical Considerations of Uncontacted Peoples and The Story of Ishi we briefly spoke about John Chau’s story and mentioned a new documentary about his life and death...

Last week we walked you through arm wrestling, the concept. This week, we’ll walk you through arm wrestling, the movies.   First up, Sylvester Stallone’s sweaty epic “Over the Top” where his character, an honest trucker, has to arm wrestle to win custody of his son. It’s both as silly and way more serious than that sounds.   Then, we look at a recent feminist foray into the world of arm...

Lonnie and Dylan record a podcast in their spare time so you can safely assume they’re weak and puny. However, some people out there are strong and prove their might through the artform of arm wrestling. This week the fellas have dived in the history and rules of arm wrestling and it’d be great if you listened in.   And our Get Amongst It suggestion this week… The Incredibles Lego game. &nbsp...

We’ve interrogated Batman and Superman, so it’s about time we looked into the friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man. Everyone loves him... but what can be better? Is there too much multiverse stuff? Are we sick of Peter Parker? What about an old Spidey? If it's controversial, if it's a hot take, if it's Spider-Man, we're onto it.   And our Get Amongst It suggestion this week… your own coffee mach...

Lonnie found himself with engaging in two stories about curses recently and that got him thinking – what’s the go with curses? Are they real? Are they real if you believe in them? Or does stuff just happen? Have a listen as the fellas figure it out, once and for all.   And our Get Amongst It suggestion this week… Nathan Fielder’s “The Curse” and “The Iron Claw” starring Zac Efron.   Cont...

It’s another instalment of The Christina Chronicles, our deep dive into the filmography of Christina Ricci! This week – Bel Ami!   Robert Pattinson is supposed to be French and he’s supposed to be sexy. We love the guy but in this movie, he’s neither. But Christina is pretty damn good in Bel Ami (unsurprisingly!)   Don’t forget to review, subscribe and tell a mate!   Contact us at i...

You may wonder if you’re the arsehole in a given situation. You might even go to Reddit to ask strangers for their take. And maybe you did this, and maybe Lonnie found the question and maybe Dylan is going to finally tell you. Maybe you should listen to this week’s episode to find out for sure.   And our Get Amongst It suggestion this week… Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge vid...

It was inevitable that we’d watch the sports entertainment show Gladiators at some point in our podcast’s run. So here we are, watching episodes of the original 1990s show (brilliant), the 2008 reboot (average) and the new 2024 iteration (not bad). Listen for all our thoughts, mainly about how much we love Vulcan!   And our Get Amongst It suggestion this week… Gladiators!   Contact us at...

It’s another instalment of The Christina Chronicles, our deep dive into the filmography of Christina Ricci! This week – Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star!   Bucky Larson is a famously terrible movie.

Sledging in cricket is the art of mental disintegration. But it’s also a bit rude! This week the fellas have dived into the world of trash talk in cricket. Is it ethical? Is it funny? Where is the line? If you’ve ever wondered, this is the podcast for you.   And our Get Amongst It suggestion this week… The recent Moneyball / Lord of the Rings crossover memes.   Contact us at imissyoumanp...

Rotten Tomatoes is where the world goes to see if movies are good or bad. It’s not perfect but it’s a temperature check for how critics and audiences are responding. So can Dylan and Lonnie guess the critic and audience scores for famous movies? Do they have their fingers on the pulse of society? Well they’re going to try! And next year’s Christmas special topic is on the line so the stakes have n...

It’s another instalment of The Christina Chronicles, our deep dive into the filmography of Christina Ricci! This week – Alpha and Omega!   Christina is back in a smaller role this time, in this middling kids animated movie. Alpha and Omega is not bad but it’s not spectacular and it’s a bit naughtier than you probably expect!   Don’t forget to review, subscribe and tell a mate!   Con...

It’s Christmas! And that means family and stuff but mainly Christmas movies! Including bad ones like Surviving Christmas and 12 Dates of Christmas! The fellas watched these movies this festive season to try and find the good in the bad. Did they succeed?

We live in a global world – but some people out there are uncontacted from the rest of society. Lonnie and Dylan discuss these people, as well as the fascinating story of Ishi, a Native American man who joined white Californian society in the 1910s. Not so many laughs on this episode, but hopefully some thoughtful conversation. Ishi documentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3MLdi4owe4   An...

110 episodes in and it’s about time Dylan sits Lonnie down to discuss whether he’s going to be allowed on the podcast permanently. Dylan has a bunch of strange job interview questions for Lonnie. Will he pass the test? Is this the last IMYM ever? Listen and find out. Gets a bit spicy in parts, so don't listen with little kids!   And our Get Amongst It suggestion this week… Punisher Max! &nbsp...

The Christina Chronicles Chapter 40 – “After. Life”   It’s another instalment of The Christina Chronicles, our deep dive into the filmography of Christina Ricci! This week – After. Life.   We all enjoy Justin Long. Liam Neeson is a good one too. And we all love Christina Ricci of course. But together in After. Life, they don’t really shine. It’s horror without any scares or much to say....

It’s a special episode of I Miss You Man! Lonnie bought a Rolling Stone magazine from 1999 and boy is it very 1999... the cover star is Jar Jar Binks, there are nasty letters to the editor about Britney Spears and people are prematurely excited about Woodstock 99. And get this, the fellas invited along their favourite fellow podcaster who happens to be a woman, Jessa Stephens from My Girlfriend Do...

Do you remember the early 2000s sitcom ‘Do Over’ starring Penn Badgley? Probably not. But Lonnie did! And he brought it into Dylan’s life… but will Dylan love it as much as Lonnie does? Well it’s a show about a guy being sent back in time to relive his youth with whacky hijinks and sweet moral lessons. What’s not to love?   And our Get Amongst It suggestion this week… Do Over!   Contact...

A book fell into Dylan’s lap this week – Quirky Questions from the man, the myth, the legend, Sandy McCutcheon! Conversations starters, icebreakers and dinner party discussion points, that sort of thing. So Dylan lets fate decide which questions for the fellas to chat about! Redesigning the flag, disposing of dead bodies, going back in time – you’ll be surprised how many times JFK is brought up! A...

It’s another instalment of The Christina Chronicles, our deep dive into the filmography of Christina Ricci! This week – All’s Faire in Love.   The fellas had to engage Canadian Plex to watch this week’s movie. And no offence to the great nation of Canada or our good friends on Plex… but it’s never a good sign when this is the only way to watch a movie. Christina is reliable as always, but thi...

The spooky season is upon us once again. TV shows used to recognise this and make special Halloween episodes! We’ve gone back to watch some of the best Halloween specials from television history. Dylan was three for three and Lonnie, well, it’s not his fault Dylan doesn’t vibe with mystery shows!   Dylan’s episodes King of the Hill - Season 7, Episode 9 “Pigmalion” Curb Your Enthusiasm - Seas...

Canon. The things that happened in a fictional world. Pretty simple right? Wrong! It’s a really thorny subject but one that we’ve figured out for you. So tag along as we discuss retcons, headcanon, elevated fanboys and everything else that goes along with large and unwieldy fictional universes.   Should Batman kill people? Did The Doctor have lives before William Hartnell? Do midi-chlorians g...

There used to be TV show in Australia where a guy walked up to random people on the street and had a chat. That was it. It’s a bit strange, it’s very low stakes… but also very fascinating. This week the fellas have watched some Front Up and are here to talk all about it.   And our Get Amongst It suggestion this week… Front Up (the TV show this episode is about)   Contact us at imissyouma...

We all love Superman, right? He’s the original and the best. But everyone is a critic and some people over the years have thrown down some controversial hot takes about the Man of Steel. Does Superman have iconic villains? Is evil Superman boring? Are we sick of kryptonite? Dylan and Lonnie sort through it all and bring a few takes of their own.   And our Get Amongst It suggestion this week…...

It’s another instalment of The Christina Chronicles, our deep dive into the filmography of Christina Ricci!
