Summers Off

This week on Summers Off , we head to the Deep South to chat about Reese Witherspoon's hair, the Home Depot, and what Gen Z would say about Reese's choice of beau in our episode on Sweet Home Alabama ! This is a good one if you love Ty slipping into a Southern dialect that floats all over regionally and into different time periods. Rach debates if she could pull off Reese's iconic style and hairdo...

Welcome to our Season 9 debut episode!!! Who would have thought we would be able to keep this up for almost a decade?! Not Rach, that's for sure. To start things off, we decided to embrace our insanity and commit to a double feature. It's our Zach Cregger-a-thon with both Barbarian and Weapons ! Which film made Ty develop a crush?

The Christmas movie to end all Christmas movies. We've all seen it and most of us love it. This holiday season we attempt to do justice to the greatest(?) X-mas flick, It's a Wonderful Life. What makes this Rach's favorite Christmas movie? Why would Ty's first act as president be an executive order making this required viewing? Why did a movie that bombed at the box office become the national sens...

Welcome to our annual Halloween spooky spectacular with a film that needs two Vs to spell out Witch because it is very, very awesome! Rach tells us all about living deliciously: how she ranks the animals in this movie, why she is a rabbit, and how much she wants to knock those twins' heads together. Ty does his best devil impersonations while telling spooky stories about the sexy witch dreams that...

Ah, High School reunions. A time to come together with the people who saw you through some of your most tumultuous years. Reconnecting over old memories like the time the mean girls put magnets on that one girl's back brace, the mysteriously mute cowboy kid, and flying out the top of a limosine.

If you don't get baby fever from this episode you'd better check your pulse! This week Ty and Rach watch Three Men and a Baby. They delve into diapers, dresses, and drug deals??

Bonus material included in this episode: Star Trek, man shaming, turkey basters, and ghost stories. Goo...

This week the Summers Off crew invites you to grab a Big Mac, sip some coca-cola, and enjoy all the product placement you can handle with... Mac and Me ! Is this Paul Rudd's favorite movie? Is this Rach's favorite movie? Would she be able to handle the most wicked dance sequence in film history? Put your hands together in a V...

Sugar, butter! We've got a tasty treat for you this week with Rach's pick, Waitress. Ty can sing all of the songs from the hit musical by Sara Bareilles, but he can't pick Keri Russell out of a lineup. To be fair, Ty also didn't know that the Gilmore Girls were a mother/daughter duo. We dygress. What he lacks in CW show knowledge, he makes up for in the kitchen. Join us this week as Ty takes us th...

We return with another classic from Summers Off 's favorite no-neck monster, The Schwarzenegger.  Is this Arn's craziest performance yet?

The podcast episode nobody asked for, but we had to deliver! Summers Off wades into unfamiliar territory and this is as legit as we will ever get. We deliver all of the Oscar movie mayhem you can handle, and trust me, there's a lot of scuttlebutt to get into.

Nothing screams holiday magic like a good Hallmark / Lifetime Christmas movie showdown! This Holiday special features not one but two Christmas movies made just this year.

We had to do a scary one! Ty conned Rach into subjecting herself to the front stage and backstage horror that is Rosemary's Baby. We get into the Rosemary curse on this film, Mia Farrow's personal horror in her love life, and Ty's scary obsession with John Cassavetes. The biggest reveal of all is that Rach actually enjoyed the scary movies Ty picked this year. So much so that she has promised to w...

We get hit with a case of the whackies for our Halloween special, Ernest Scared Stupid. We chat about the Ernest origins, talk trolls, and debate what age this Disney movie is intended for. Ty struggles with the impressions, there is plenty of singing, and we discover if this movie melted Rach's Ernest hating heart. Tune in to find out!

That time has finally arrived! The season 7(!) finale of Summers Off. And what better way to say goodbye than by talking about some major nerdy stuff for a couple hours. Rach can't carry the podcast, but she does carry Ty through this explosive finale with her amazing impressions of Gollum. We chat about the hippies who saved this franchise. What is Gollum juice? And how many times did Viggo get h...

Come one come all! Okay maybe not ALL. This week's episode of Summers Off may prove to be one of the most risqué films we've done yet. We're talking about Paul Verhoeven's 1995 erotic drama, Showgirls (Rach's choice!). Loathed for its lewdness and beloved for its camp, Showgirls is a wild ride. You honestly just have to see it to believe it.

It's cookie time! It's cookie time! It's time for Troop Beverly Hills! Fresh off of their trip from LA, Ty and Rach share all the Do's and Don'ts for SoCal. Do go shopping on Rodeo Drive.

And, we broach the question you've wanted answered for years. Is that Milla Jovovich...

This may be our most niche watch yet. In order to prove it wasn't a fever dream, Rach shows Ty a Don Bluth classic from her youth, Rock-A-Doodle. Is it the parallel Elvis story or the earworm hits that make this so memorable? Is this tied to an ancient, medieval tale? Where did Rach's childhood fear of owls originate from? And what is that cat saying??! All of this and more will be answered in thi...
