Let’s Make A List!!

A couple of episodes ago, we introduced the concept of "Versus". This week, we fill the wheel with our favorite characters from different horror film franchises and ask the question "who wins 1v1?" Our final battle lays the groundwork for a future episode! Thanks for listening!

We end our month-long Star Wars retrospective by creating a playlist of songs from the soundtracks of the franchise. More than just the mainline series is represented, however, if you're a fan of the 1980's Ewoks cartoon theme, you're out of luck... Thanks for listening! We have included a link to the playlist below: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1wG6BvCfZXaRlDzmvVFbea?si=5e9b43898...

This week, we introduce a new topic and answer the question, "what would happen if character X battled character Y?" We look at thirty-three characters from the Star Wars franchise and pit them randomly against each other. Who will come out on top? Thanks for listening!

In episode II of our Star Wars retrospective, we look at all full length feature films in the franchise and, using our "Make Your Own Rushmore" format, create the definitive top four must-see films in the franchise. Jack and Josh attack their personal lists in different ways but find solidarity the likes of which have yet to be seen. Thanks for listening!

In honor May the 4th, we will be spending this month looking at all things Star Wars. We start off in style talking about our favorite characters that lived long ago in a galaxy far away. Mixed in with the basic takes are some fairly deep cuts. Don't head to Tosche Station to get power converters until you've heard our top ten. Thanks for listening!

We latch onto certain musical groups early on in life and they end up sticking with us for the long haul. That is the best way to describe Josh's relationship with the hip-hop act, A Tribe Called Quest. In this month's (Play)List, Jack and Josh pay homage to one of Josh's all-time favorites. The question will be asked; are we on point? The answer is obviously, "all the time."...

It's been a while since we've done an Assemble Your Crew. In light of all of the excitement surrounding the Minecraft movie, this week we ask the question: who are five characters from fiction or real life that you would want to take to see the film. This promises to be one of our silliest episodes to date! Thanks for listening!

In honor of the the Minecraft film phenomenon and the positive reactions it's receiving, this week, we look at what we believe are the films and television shows based on video games that completely miss the mark. Jack has one on his list that is a bit of a surprise... Thanks for listening!

In our second installment of "Make Your Own Rushmore", we contemplate the best heroes from the world of video games. After presenting our own personal rankings, we work to create a combined Mount Rushmore of the best and most iconic good guys from the world of pixels and polygons. Our number one may surprise you... Thanks for listening!

Special effects. Plot. Casting. Soundtracks. This week we close our March Madness '25 by taking each of the topics discussed this month and ranking them based on which plays the biggest role. Who will be the victor of our first ever Final Four?

As we continue our March Madness question: "what makes a great film?", we round out our Final Four this week with the final competitor: the soundtrack. Since we have already done a LMAPL of our favorite soundtracks, we switch-it-up a little and focus on songs playing during the opening or closing credits of a film that really "set the tone". There is a week to our playlist belo...

With half of the field accounted for, this week we introduce competitor number three for our March Madness '25 question, "What makes a great film?", the cast and subsequent casting. Per usual, we both have different ideas about what really sets a cast apart from the competition. Jack tends to lean more toward the cast as written while Josh focuses more on the actors chosen to play th...

For week two of March Madness '25, we introduce the next competitor in "What Make a Great Film?": Plot. We have our own ideas about what constitutes a great plot but ultimately come to a consensus. We even have a heated discussion about the Academy along the way. Thanks for listening!

March Madness takes over the podcast this month! We have created a tournament to determine what truly makes a film great. Our first entry to make the final four, is practical effects. We talk about some of our favorite films to contain them. We both have a thing for a winner...

There are no two opposing forces that play more into shaping who we are and what we like than love and hate. In this episode, we attempt to create a playlist that best captures the essence of what defines both. Of course, we put our own spin on it, so everything is on-brand. Which one of us is in charge of love, and which one handles hate? All will be revealed in time. The E on this podcast is for...

Blind rankings: you see them all over social media, including podcasts. This week, we join the party with our attempt to blind rank Rotten Tomatoes' best horror films of all time - with a twist. Instead of attempting to emulate THEIR list, we take the options they've given us and create our own list. How similar will the finished lists be? You might be surprised.

Controversial. Quirky. Classic. Clunky. The Sonic the Hedgehog series of video games is robust and has a past that is all over the place. This week, we look at the whole series and pick out the games we think to be the ones to play. If you've not played a game in the franchise in a minute and wonder where to start, we've done the research for you. Thanks for listening!

Our first episode was entitled "Villains!". Since then, we've covered anti-heroes and sidekicks. We decided it was time to unleash upon the world our favorite super heroes, but with a twist in the form of our newest format. What does it take to make our Rushmore of super heroes? There's only one way to find out.

What happens when two of your favorite musical acts gets together and makes a song? Hopefully it's a good thing. In this episode, we talk through the songs that we hold as our favorite collaborative efforts between artists we know and love. With our musical taste, you know the playlist (link below) will be eclectic and epic! (Explicit rating for this episode is due to lyrical content) https://...

In our first Assemble Your Crew of Season Three, we look at which characters, fictional and otherwise we think would be the best to build a house. This one has a great mix, and might be the best crew we've made to date!

In this episode, we conjure up our choices for the best spirits from another realm. One unhappy phantom appears on both lists, only in different forms. Whom from those that have gone on before will top our list?

We start off season three with a bang as we talk about our favorite monsters across all media. There are some standard tropes and a couple of wild cards that really make the list pop. The discussion as we get toward the top of the list gets really heated!

Season two is in the books! If you haven't listened to every episode yet, this week will let you know the top ten we think you should give a listen to. We also give a preview of some of the topics we will be covering in 2025. Happy New Year, everyone. See you next week when we start season three!

Every year, Spotify gives us the gift of seeing what we've listened to the most every year. This week, we take the top songs on our individual top 100 playlists, and combine them together for this season's last Let's Make A (Play)List. This list is guaranteed to have a lot of bangers and to definitely be all over the place.

Many actors have played the role of Ol' Saint Nick over the years. Some are iconic, others, not so much. This week, we look at our favorite Santa's from both television and film. With the both of us involved, you can be sure our personal flair will be thrown in for good measure.
