The regular season is in the books and so we are here to brag about our good picks and confess our mistakes. We each take some victory laps, and we each certainly bow our heads in shame a few times. But we look back at our predictions for team records as well as awards and give our final tiers rankings of the year.

Deep Thoughts on Shallow Subjects A New Year brings an opportunity for us to draft another anniversary year of movies. We are staying consistent with our love of our late high school and early college years by selecting the year 2000 for our draft. This was Troy's first year working at Blockbuster and Byers saw way too many movies this year as well. We draft 15 movies each and run through our nomi...

Deep Thoughts on Shallow Subjects 2024 Top 5 As the calendar gets ready to flip over to a new year, we look back at our favorite sports moments, tv shows and movies of the year.

Then we wrap up by looking ahead to next year and the shows and movies we are most excited for. Intro/Outro m...

Deep Thoughts on Shallow Subjects Our latest Deep Thoughts on Shallow Subjects is actually on a Deep Subject, The Beatles! We ranked each studio album and ended with a 50 song draft. It was a testament to The Beatles' catalog that we had plenty left on the cutting room floor. We aren't professed super fans, but talked about our own unique experiences with The Beatles throughout the years being kid...

Late Nights at Blockbuster This week we’re going to take you someplace warm, a place where the beer flows like wine, where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. We’re talking about a little Late Nights at Blockbuster celebrating the 30th anniversary of Dumb and Dumber. We spend way too much time trading quotes in our Drax award section, but that was to be expected with...

Corner Booth at Rex’s The Rings of Power – Season 2 We’re back in Middle Earth this week to discuss the second season of The Rings of Power. We give the rundown on a very lengthy cast list. We talk about the next chapter of this prequel series and let you know about all the things we like and some things we certainly did not like. Byers makes multiple comparisons to the Star Wars prequel trilogy a...

NFL Week 13 Tiers Update We're back with another update to our NFL Tiers. This marks roughly the 3/4 mark of the season, and with every team in action this past weekend it was time to readjust our rankings. We fully expect at least a couple of teams to completely reverse course after this episode and make us look like complete fools, but even then we would still look better than the Jets. Intro/Ou...

Late Nights at Blockbuster Grab your Goblin-cleaver, sound the horn, and jump on your armored battle pig as we come to the finish line of the Hobbit Trilogy with The Battle of the Five Armies! We keep the disdain for the love triangle lighter in this episode as there is a lot less to complain about. We get into a conversation about watch order for newcomers to Middle Earth movies and how that migh...

Late Nights at Blockbuster Terminator 2 Come with us if you want to live. Because we are wrapping up Novikov November and our time travel movies with Terminator 2.

Late Nights at Blockbuster Back to the Future Part II Novikov November continues as we hop back into the Delorean with Doc and Marty to head to the future…then back to the present….but it’s the wrong present….so we go back to the past….to make it the right present….but it’s all okay because we get hoverboards out of the whole deal, so it’s completely worth it and not confusing at all. So turn Lith...

We're back to talk about the halfway point of the NFL season and give our tier updates for week 9.

Late Nights at Blockbuster Our latest edition of Late Nights at Blockbuster is celebrating the 10th anniversary of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1. Troy and Byers swapped places throughout this podcast. Troy didn’t make any bones about the fact that he doesn’t like this movie (or the book) but we started this series and we are going to finish it. We talk a lot about splitting the last book i...

Late Nights at Blockbuster Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince Come with us back to the wizarding world for our discussion on the 6th installment in the franchise.

We just feel it’s the place to be tonight, do you know w...

Late Nights at Blockbuster We’re celebrating the 25th anniversary of David Fincher’s Fight Club. We start off with a pretty good PSA on what you are getting yourself into if you’ve never watched Fight Club. Although, if you’ve ever watched Fight Club you know that we aren’t supposed to…talk about Fight Club. We explore all the good, bad, and the ugly for a movie that is extremely divisive. We also...

It's the quarter mark of the season so we are here to update our tiers and discuss the good, the bad and the surprising of the NFL season so far.

Late Nights at Blockbuster Anchorman I don’t know if you all know this, but we’re kind of a big deal. People know us. We’re very important. We have many leather-bound books and an apartment that smells of rich mahogany. We also have a trident and an exquisite collection of colognes. Ok none of those things are true, but you’ll hear more about all of them in this week’s episode as we talk about Anc...

Late Nights at Blockbuster Our newest Late Nights at Blockbuster is celebrating the 30th anniversary of Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. Byers' one line review is very apt stating, “This movie smells like middle school.” We discuss early Jim Carrey and how he burst onto the scene with this movie. You can slowly listen to our descent back into middle school boys as Byers explains Binaca with, “Binac...

Late Nights at Blockbuster Guardians of the Galaxy We are hooked on a feeling, and we fooled around and fell in love, because we are groot. That’s right, we’re hopping in the Milano this week to do something good, something bad, and a bit of both. So stand in a circle with us like a bunch of idiots as we discuss one of our favorites from the MCU. Intro/Outro music by friend of the podcast Seth Gil...

It's time for our annual NFL season preview! We had to record this really early this year, Troy had jaw surgery, so if we don’t mention a lot of preseason story lines that were big after the first week of August that is the reason why. (JJ McCarthy's injury, Hollywood Brown's injury, and others hadn't occurred.) We go through our record predictions, place them in our tiers, and pre...

Late Nights at Blockbuster This week’s Late Nights at Blockbuster is celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Forrest Gump. Byers and Troy will not back down to everyone who has spent all that time saying that this is a bad schmaltzy movie. We’ve got tons of quotes to go through in our Drax award and plenty to discuss when it comes to the good and bad of Jenny. Intro/Outro music by friend of the podcas...

Late Nights at Blockbuster Spiderman 2 This week we are swinging back into the Spider-verse, for 2004’s Spiderman 2. We give it the full treatment and have a longer than expected talk about the career of Alfred Molina. So, find yourself a more comfortable Spidey suit, recite some poetry, or just say hi – and I promise by the end of the episode all of those jokes will make sense. Just please, no mo...
