Pop Culture Continuum

John & Pat critique the finest of the fine arts: comic strips. Don’t worry – if this episode’s too highbrow for you, they’ll be back to something stupid next week.

John & Pat devote an entire episode to talking nonsense. This is nothing new, but the twist is: this time they do it without a theme. If you’re a fan of laziness, this one’s for you.

John & Pat take a look at the TV schedules for their respective senior years in high school. It goes a long way toward explaining why their lives went wrong.

John and Pat spend an episode doing exactly what the rest of you do at work and click on Wikipedia links until they get bored. The only difference is, they’re not getting paid for it. And they never will be if they keep insulting potential advertisers as they do in this episode. The resistance lives!

John & Pat do their annual Golden Globe predictions, and maintain their tradition of picking winners even though they haven’t seen the majority of the nominations. That’s how things work in Trump’s America! Their lack of knowledge doesn’t prevent them from explaining at length why the Hollywood Foreign Press sucks, either. You suck, HFP!

Finally, the whole stupid year is over, so it’s time for our annual recap of the few good things that actually happened. Spoiler: The Emoji Movie didn’t make the cut. We’re rebels! ps: We apologize for not having a special “227” episode for our 227th episode. Wait until you hear Episode 90210, we’ll more than make up for it!

John and Pat take a look at the TV shows of old and compare them to today’s crop. Which era will come out the winner? The answer will shock and delight you.

Pat & John finally finish their series on the best films of each decade with the ’20s and ’30s, so if you’re under the age of 187, you can probably skip this one. Sorry, millennials!

Vivian does her yearly guest spot to grade all the best the networks have to offer. And as usual, their best would end up on most people’s trash fires. So enjoy, won’t you?

John & Pat once again compare the ’80s to the ’10s, and once again prove the past was a huge load of crap. Of course, they also prove that so is the present. Why even bother doing anything? Just quit your dumb job and collect unemployment.

John and Pat tackle the illegal alien issue in a way those do-nothings in the government never thought of: by comparing two television shows. Who’s to say which method is more likely to heal the country? Jeremy Piven? I don’t think so.

It’s that time of year again – when hope turns to despair as the promise of the new TV season gives way to mediocre reality. So be sure and listen to this exciting episode!
