Summers Off

Like the title says, this one is a doozie! Rach's pick this week finally features the one and only Sandra Bullock alongside a sisterhood of some heavy-hitting actresses. We break down the southern belle archetype, best mother/daughter movies, and reveal our secret blood oaths. If you're confused, you should be.

What a doozy we have for you this week on Summers Off. We watch one of the worst movies of all time...Super Mario Bros (the 93 edition!) Rach is flabbergasted and Ty is trying to remember if he loved this movie as a kid or not. It's a confusing time for everyone involved including the producers, directors, writers, actors, and Nintendo.  Why was this such a poopie mess? Tune in to find out! "Here...

Looking for a 90s throwback this week? You got it dude! Tune in as we pay homage to the Olsen Twin dynasty. That's right, we're watching It Takes Two. We talk fan clubs, discount Billy Crystal, food fight rules, and child labor laws. Does it take two to make a thing go right? We're about to find out. 

From swashbuckling to knee buckling we LITERALLY get romantic this week with The Count of Monte Cristo. Ty is the king of the moment with one of his faves. There's tons of history for you nerds out there.  We talk hottest cast ever with Jim Caviezel, Henry Cavill, and Richard Harris.  Rach talks Monte Cristo sandwiches and plots out revenge on everyone who skips this one.

Smack in the middle of wedding season, we're bringing you the only wedding movie that matters, My Best Friend's Wedding. For Rach's pick this week, we'll talk karaoke, lip scars, the Windy City, and which movie is Cameron Diaz's best (spoiler: it's this one!). 

FREEEEEEEEDOOOOM! We get epic this week with one of Ty's top five flicks, Braveheart! We chat all things Scots. Ty gets nerdy with 13th century history, Rach oils up Scottish muscles, the mullet vs. long hair debate returns, and Ty gets real mad when people slam this movie. Did Mel even want to do this? Where's the bridge at Sterling? What's the best cinema fight scene? Is Rach the Scottish hottie...

It's Season 6 bay-bay! Who knew we'd make it 6 seasons?! Rach kicks off this summer with one of her top 5 faves and cult classic, Waiting for Guffman. Haven't seen it? Never heard of it? What's the matter with you?! Just kidding, but it's worth a rent especially if you're a fan of the Schitt's Creek cast. This week we talk all things mockumentary, the Christopher Guest experience, and community th...

"I'll let you download this podcast anywhere..." For Valentine's Day, we address one of the spiciest movies of all time. It's another edition of Summers Off After Dark with this naughty, cinematic masterpiece that aged so well with no problems whatsoever - Cruel Intentions! We talk spittle, real slaps, puking on set, that saucy soundtrack and how much it cost them, the sequels, and an amazing musi...

Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals! You know we couldn't pass up the opportunity to sneak in a holiday episode.  And this year we celebrate the festivus with 90s kid paradise, Home Alone. We talk stunts, fake mob movies, proper spider handling, and settle the question - who's to blame for all of this?  Keep the change and Happy Holidays from the Hudsons!

It's time for Rach's one scary movie a year!  Ty gets her into the big theatre to watch John Carpenter's classic and the best slasher of all time, Halloween!  And she talks the whole way through it... We chat about Michael the dog eater, minutemen in the bedroom, Freddy Krueger and his fake leaves, drunk Dr. Loomis, the creation of the final girl, and Rach tells us who she would be in this movie....

Summers Off is saying Bon Voyage to Season 5 with a deep dive (that's right) to Titanic. You know Kate, you know Leo, but do you know Mij? Unleash your inner Titanic nerd as Rach and Ty separate fact from just made up stuff. Bonus we've got your Valentine's Day all figured out for 2023 -- and yes it involves a 3D 4K mega ship!

Snakes, rats, monkey brains, and terrible Cate Blanchett wigs.  These movies have it all. We tackle the 3rd Indiana Jones movie this week with The Last Crusade. We hit pantsless tea parties, halloween costumes, give Sean Connery's accent a shot, and Rach definitely calls the Holy Grail the Goblet of Fire in this episode.  Ya gotta listen!

Well, La di da la di da, la la! The Diane Keaton season reigns on as we watch her defining role in Annie Hall, a part that was made for her (literally!). This week Ty and Rach have some fierce debates about the Marx bros, the Big 5, and Karaoke. Ty also shares his favorite Woody Allen films. Spoiler: it's Antz.

Prepare for Arnold "aaarghhhs", lightning bugs in your noses, and expoding heads. Open...your...mind! in this week's episode of Total Recall.

Opa! We've got a big one for you this week folks - a Big Fat Greek one. Ty and Rach delve into this one woman show that took the world by storm. We talk weddings, windex, and what you do for family. Well worth the rewatch! 

This week we head back to the 80s for some good ol' fashioned mid-20s "time to stop partying all night and get a day job" fun with St. Elmo's Fire . We talk about the many sides of Rob Lowe: the philosopher, the sex man, the sax man.  We attempt to define brat pack. Rach debates if she's a Demi Moore or an Ally Sheedy.   And Ty struggles to come to grips that he might be a little too close to Emil...

Everyone's favorite movie where a guy falls in love with his girlfriend's mom. Yes really! But Keanu's in it :) This week we dive into coastal grandma culture with the Nancy Meyer's classic, Something's Gotta Give. Listen in as we talk adding kisses, adding lines, and adding unnecessary nude scenes. 

This one is a theatre kid's dream.  We go to musical theatre summer school this week with the cult classic Camp. Baby Anna Kendrick gets a major showcase this episode.  Where does this rank all-time amongst camp movies?  Is our main character a hero or a villain?  Why is Stephen Sondheim in this movie?!?!  You know there's going to be singing this week.  Hopefully we get cast.

Skinny jeans, mom jeans, flares, low and high rise - the gang's all here! This week Ty and Rach delve into the coming of age classic, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Ty reminisces on what it's like to grow up with your gal pals while sharing experiences and growing into your womanhood... or wait, maybe that's Rach. Stay until the end to find out what Ty takes issue with. You won't believe i...

It's summertime baby and what better way to kick off Season 5(!) than with the hottest blockbuster of 86, which incidently is the hottest blockbuster of 22, Top Gun!

It's great to be back for Season 5 of this adventur...

It's the most romantical episode of the year!  We go Summers Off after dark with Rach and Ty's #1 crushes duking it out on set and falling in love off it. We also get into Rach's disapproval of Ty's proposed menagerie, how many times they each cried, if the book is any good (and how naughty your moms are for reading it), and did Ty go too far in trying to be Rach's Noah the past two days.  The ans...

The holiday season is here and we couldn't resist doing a bonus episode of one of our fave Christmas movies: Love Actually. Join Ty and Rach as they connect cast mates both in and out of this movie, count the number of times they break out the Kleenex, and use the word "actually" in a sentence.  To quote one of the best taglines from the film: Very Romantic. Very Comedy.

Does Ty have this movie m...

And hottest cast in the history of horror goes to...this week's Summers Off bloodbath and longest acronym ever IKWYDLS.
