What's On Draft?

Hello listeners! As one of our New Year's Resolutions Cameron is getting into baking, and he's delivered the first good of the year - a lemon poppyseed loaf! We sample and give our opinions, and talk about our future plans for our entry into the culinary industry. For context on this clip, listen to our episode where we drafted New Year's Resolutions!

Welcome to our quarter-of-the-way-to-triple-digits episode, listeners! In this episode we conduct the second half of our 2021 movie draft. Which films will we round out our teams with? Which films have already moved out of the year immediately after we drafted them but before we released this episode so now we look like fools ! Listen in and let us know what you think!

We're officially back in full for the new year! To kick things off we're performing our annual movie draft - we're each taking 10 films, and after they've all had their theatrical runs we'll tally the top 7 earners for each drafter to see who pulled in the most at the box office. That's right, we're not looking for the best, most artistic, or most meaningful movies of the year - we're just looking...

Welcome to 2021, listeners! We're easing into 2021 with some non-draft bonus content. First, we're updating on our New Year's Resolutions from the previous draft and getting things organized. Then we're recapping our 2020 movie draft. We never released the audio because, well... a total of six movies we drafted were actually theatrically released last year. But we talk about our favorite things we...

A day late but not a resolution short, this episode is our conclusion to the first calendar year of What's on Draft! The year certainly didn't look like what we or really anyone expected, but we've had some good times along the way; thanks to everyone for listening! In this episode, we're all drafting 5 resolutions for the new year, but then the other two hosts are adding in a little wrinkle to ma...

Hello listeners! As mentioned in this week's episode, here is the recording of a Christmas Carol Michael and Paul created in the long ago year of 2011 for a white elephant gift exchange. This is presented almost exactly as the audio version we burned onto a CD for the party; so if you're looking for a new Christmas Eve tradition, here's just the right new entertainment option for you! Social Media...

Merry Christmas and happy holidays listeners! This week we're in the gifting spirit... particularly the spirit of gifting ourselves. So we found a list of the top selling toys from 1980 to 2000 and each drafted five of them. We added one twist though - in the white elephant/dirty Santa spirit we're each going to be able to steal one pick from someone else, so get ready for a little drafting gamesm...

In this week's draft, we each take very different approaches to going full Kevin McCallister on our homes! Which of our homes do you think would make for the best cinematic foil to the Wet and/or Sticky Bandits in the Home Alone universe - the psychological warfare, the cinematic homage, or the full lethal variety? Listen in and let us know! Referenced in this episode: The legal implication of boo...

Hello everybody! In this week's episode we are talking movies, specifically movies that we think deserve a sequel. We each draft five movies and then give our idea for what a sequel might look like - some have an interesting plot point to continue, some are an interesting universe that deserves some more exploration, and some were movies we felt like had an interesting premise but weren't as succe...

Happy December everyone! What better way to get into the season of Christmas shopping than with a topic covering one of the biggest holiday gift buys of all time? In this week's episode we're picking new video game characters to make an appearance in Super Smash Brothers. We've taken off the shackles of copyright law and given ourselves free range of any video game characters. What do you think of...

Happy Thanksgiving (week) listeners! While many of our holiday traditions have been put on hold for this year, the one thing you can do with any amount of people in your bubble is prepare a Thanksgiving feast for the ages. This week we all take some turkey and then draft five food items plus one alcoholic beverage to pair with it to see who can create the best Thanksgiving plate. Which plate would...

In this episode we're paying tribute to Sean Connery by considering the best that the Q Branch has to offer. Each of us takes a collection of five gadgets from across the Bond franchise to see which spy would be the most prepared to handle whatever SPECTRE has to throw at them. Which set of gadgets are the most versatile? Which are the coolest? Can you have enough modes of transportation? Let us k...

Tonight, the window for casting a vote for the U.S. president will end, and while we wait for the long and needlessly complicated process to tabulate all the results, we were thinking - how much better off would be if we could pluck our leaders off of the silver screen? In this Election Day special, we're taking a fictional characters to be the president and then drafting their cabinet for them. C...

We've got an extra spooky extra episode for you this week! Maybe the three most unqualified hosts for talking horror films draft our own horror scenarios, taking a setting, villain, booby trap, and supernatural phenomenon to build a dastardly plot for anyone to face. We round things out by drafting a hero to face down the other two scenarios. Which hero would survive the longest? Would any hero ma...

This week we're getting in the spirit of the Mandalorian, Rogue One, and Solo and talking about which Star Wars characters we'd want to see in their own spin-off stories. Only this time, we're aiming for the deeper cuts. Which team of minor Star Wars characters would you most like to see in their own film trilogy? Was there someone who wasn't drafted that we should have taken? Can I get a paper pu...

In this episode, we're drafting a captain and four crew members from across all of the Star Trek shows to form our very own Starfleet crews. Which team would most boldly go?

Which group of serial killers as the best odds? What's better, a literal murder castle...

One of the wildest eras of sports is upon us! The global pandemic has changed the way all professional sports leagues operate, and how we can watch them, but what we have received for that trouble is an unprecedented conglomeration of leagues playing at the same time.  But what if things were... even weirder??? This week we're joined by special guest Nate and drafting changes to be made to ma...

In this draft, we're taking fictional characters and drafting our own slayer teams for the Buffy universe - who has the best Buffy? Whose Watcher is going to be the most knowledgeable? You let us know! Social Media: Twitter Facebook Instagram

In this episode, we each take five conspiracy theories (that are believed by at least a decent number of people) and ask you, in a hypothetical world where all the theories were true , which world would be the worst to live in? Buckle in for some really out there ideas and make sure to wear your tin-foil hat to keep the mole people from reading your mind and knowing which team you'll vote for befo...

In this episode, we take people from all over the world to send to Middle Earth and see if they could be as successful as ol' Frodo at getting the Ring into Mount Doom. This was the first episode of the podcast we recorded, so we hadn't quite settled on the layout (or nicer microphones) but we think you'll still enjoy it. Which team would you most trust with a cross-country quest to save the kingd...

In this episode, Cameron and Michael are joined by special guest Preston for a very musical episode (though, not to get your hopes up, not an episode drafted entirely in song.) We take five famous musical groups - The Rolling Stones, the Beach Boys, the Four Seasons, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Earth, Wind, and Fire - and take on the monumental task of replacing their famous front men with a...

Inspired by the (U.S.) release of Tenet this week, we're taking a look at Christopher Nolan movies. The director is well known for working repeatedly with actors he's Caine-fortable (booing intensifies off stage) with, which got us thinking - what if the studios told him his next project had to be filled with completely new faces? We each give a pitch for a Nolan film (or for the archetypes Nolan...

Most excellent listeners! Join us as we take on a draft topic inspired by the Bill & Ted movie franchise; if we had our own time travelling phone booth and wanted to take it for a spin to go see some live music, where (and when) would we go? We've got concerts lined up from big obvious names and some that may not make the top of "best concerts of all time" lists but have some personal connecti...
