Summers Off

It's a dark and stormy night this week on Summers Off for our season finale, and Rach continues to live in a world of utter confusion. There are gangs, spirits, gods, magic, monsters, Kurt Russell, and lots of martial arts.  Is this a Ty fave?  Does Rach scratch her eyeballs out?  Is The Rock planning to make millions of dollars off a remake soon?  Take a ride on the Pork Chop Express with your ol...

Summer might be winding down, but we're holding on - 2 more episodes!  In honor of its 25th anniversary (are we that old?!?!?!) we take a look back at the epic 90s teen movie, Clueless! Come get schooled in the ways of 90s kid lingo.  Would you rather be a "total Monet" or "such a Baldwin"?  Are you "totally buggin" or "rollin with the homies"? Don't miss Ty and Rach battling it out to decide once...

Well we finally got a Mel movie folks and prepare for hot takes galore. This week on Summers Off we go back to the OG buddy cop movie, no not Turner and Hooch, Lethal Weapon baby Join Rach and Ty as they seek to answer the hard hitting questions. Which Busey is a better actor? Can a helicopter really stop a car? Is it a mullet or is it just long hair? And why is that saxophone so sassy? 

From the podcasters who brought you a podcast about Devil Wears Prada  comes a podcast about 27 Dresses . This week we chat about cancelling Katherine, ridiculous wedding moments, bad maid of honor speeches, the worst part about weddings and how many dresses each of our hosts has worn.  Plus, Ty reveals if he hates this as much as Prada .

Well, it finally happened.  Rach watched a legit scary movie.  Did she like it?  Does she see hockey masks everywhere now?  Can she sleep?  Only time will tell. We chat about camp stories, scary movies, and do an extra long deep dive into Friday the 13th lore.  Hear Rach's dolphin boy theory, Ty's dirty underwear at camp story, and so much more.

This week Ty and Rach are transported back to a mythical time, 1515-1520? We're not sure, but we know we love it. What else do we love about this week's movie Ever After? Angelica Huston's eyebrows, historical impossibilities, body glitter, Celtic techno... Can we go back to the eyebrows?! Just wow.

This week your favorite duo does some truly horrible dialect work when they discuss this gangster classic. We chat about Scorsese movies, maces in the living room, what it means to be funny, gangsters, and if Rach can pay attention during these movies. Warning: this movie has F bombs up the wazoo and our clips do too making this our first "explicit" rated podcast ever!

Well this one revs up our two hosts.  They duel in a quiet basement about whether this film is funny or problematic.  Ty has some real issues with 30 year old women that he has to work out. Rach takes us through the price of chardonnay decreasing, the best and worst Hollywood dialects, and method acting as a secretary.  Renee Zellweger is supposed to be chunky in this movie?!

What an OFFICIAL season opener!  And Rach loves it!  This movie officially enters Rach's top ten with its extravagant action scenes and beautiful rivers of green and orange goo. Find out just how many gallons of blood was used in this movie along with incredible amounts of ammunition.  Maybe, just maybe, after this episode you will realize this movie is way deeper than you thought.

After all that Goonies conflict we are back to oozing love for one of the best TV shows of all time.  Hear where Friday Night Lights sits on our host's all time faves list this week with an extra long final "quarantine edition" episode. We discuss the humble origins of much of the cast, the improv style of the show, awkward romantic scenes, why the show is so awesome, and most importantly which ca...

Fireworks on this week's episode.  A beloved film to one of our hosts that means little to the other.  It's a brawl we haven't seen since Mortal Kombat. We have stories of contagious puking, Rach's secluded childhood, a Chunk who hated truffling and shuffling, bratty kids, bloody maps, real human skulls, and even more real waterslides.

What would Summers Off be without a fun baseball flick?! We talk about Geena Davis maybe being a genius, why Tom Hanks gained 30 lbs, who had the baseball skills and who was horrible, and what a punk Madonna is on-camera and off. Ty's experience as a baseball stud, Rach's favorite phrase "the pickle tickle", and Ty continuing to butcher quotes make this a fun one for the ages.

We sink back into the madness that was late 90s teen flicks.  It was a joyous time when a movie can take place all in one location with the coolest house party ever! Jennifer Love Hewitt commentary abounds as we discuss getting trapped in bathrooms, horrible haircuts, this amazing ensemble cast, and what characters we see ourselves as in this joyride of a movie. "True friends stab you in the front...

We step into the way back machine of AOL, chatrooms, away messages, secret profile conversations, and so much more. Listen to Ty and Rach rant about how hard they had it in high school and middle school with dial up internet, Meg Ryan's cute haircuts, Tom Hanks' position as a national treasure, and maybe even a little bit about the movie as well.

"I gave her my heart; she gave me a pen."  We close this season with one of the most romantic of 80s movies, Say Anything. Hear stories of our two main characters falling in love, learning how to drive a clutch, and holding boomboxes over their heads.  We also talk about the movie. Did John Cusack even like this movie?  Did our two main characters really fall in love?  Do Ty and Rach think it's on...

Bring your tissues, Ty and Rach delve deep into some feelings this week with the film, Marley and Me. Questions we strive to answer in this episode: What are the best dog films of all time? What about films that make men cry? What is the Frat Pack? Is our dog Gizmo the best dog in the world (spoiler: she is). Warning: episode contains all the feels 

Ty and Rach sit on opposite sides of the spectrum on this one.  Ty's undying love for fatalities, epic fight scenes, four armed monsters, and sexy Sonya ring out, while Rach tries to keep all these names straight and figure out if there's a plot. And did I mention for the first time in Summers Off history, RACH FELL ASLEEP!

This week we journey back to the golden age of teen movies... 1999. Possibly one of the most problematic romantic comedies of all time, Never Been Kissed packs a wallop. Listen as Ty tells Rach what he thought the movie was about, how he was grossly mistaken, and how he can relate to "Josie Grossie". Does the pedophilic teacher shoot sex lasers from his eyes?  Is Drew Barrymore hot or not?  What w...

With the school year just around the corner, Ty and Rach decide to revisit a much loved film: Moulin Rouge. A saucy Nicole Kidman and babyface Ewan McGregor are definitely worth a rewatch. It's a bit of a love-fest but let's face it... All you need is love! Talking points this week: Is the Duke hot or not? Is Nicole Kidman too pale? Does Ewan McGregor have extra teeth? And who is Qui-Gon Jim?  Tun...

No Michael Myers to be seen.  Instead we get magic, robots, Stonehenge, and all other sorts of fun.  This is Halloween 3. Discussion topics today include how to kill a robot, "no-nipple" clauses, the greatest love story of our parent's generation, sweet deaths, and who is the scariest of the major horror movie villains. Did Rach cry herself to sleep?  Is she still terrified?  Has she seen robots e...

We get British this week.  Super British.  We are talking bad dental hygiene, 100 year old queen, mushy peas, rainy days, and tea and crumpet levels of British.  Our dive into the isles takes us to Notting Hill. Hear Ty plug Shakespeare in Love a zillion times, Rach try her best to look, act, and sound like Julia Roberts, and Ty and Rach go through the pantheon of Julia's rom coms and rank them. W...

It's Rach Time!  We watch a Rach classic and the arguments start flying.  Is this the best movie of all time?  Is Anne Hathaway the worst in this movie?  Should Meryl win so many Oscars? Disagreements prevail when Streep gets brought up and if she is the best actress to ever walk on water.  We debate Mrs. Tom Brady vs. Gisele, Adam Sandler vs. Scarlett Johannson, and gaining some love weight for a...

Uh oh!  This was a doozy.  Maybe the worst film we have done so far but come check out our reactions to this travesty and learn some fun stuff along the way.  Don't watch Ladybugs and instead come hang with us for an hour. We talk about teen heartthrob Jonathan Brandis and how he stacks up on Rach's hot guy list, creepy Rodney Dangerfield moments, how Rach's soccer days were almost an exact replic...

We're back!!!!  We kick off season 2 with this wonderful 80s romp through a high school experience everyone can relate to: When you realize all that unwanted body hair is due to you being a werewolf.
