John and Jay discuss topics that affect everyone's daily life and don't have black or white answers. By interviewing subject matter experts, they hope to gain a better perspective, while also educating themselves and the audience. At the end of the day, they hope everyone walks away knowing more than they did when the conversation began. Episodes will be released every other Tuesday.

Drop Dead Fred is a brilliant work of physical comedy. Starring Rik Mayall and Phoebe Cates. This cult classic has stood the test of time for sure. Although it's a dark comedy at its core, it does make clever use of its themes like depression and anxiety. We go over all the zaniness of this 90s cult classic. Plus much more! Check us out on YouTube …
 
We sit down and have a conversation with self-proclaimed failure, Ben Currier, as he discusses the origins of his own podcast, The Failure Guy, and how he embraces the failures of his life and how to learn from them. "Fail it 'til you nail it!" The Failure Guy Podcast can be found here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/failure-guy/id1533740606…
 
Bueller?.....Bueller? Ahh yes, another John Hughes film graces our presence. But ya know, its a really good one. This film is super relatable to any kid or teen trying to get away with playing hooky from school and having the ultimate day off! Matthew Broderick shines in his breakout role. And we break down all the hijinx that Ferris and Cameron ge…
 
We already covered the 1989 Tim Burton Batman but what about the 1966 big screen version? This is the first big screen adaptation for the Caped Crusaders and it's a delight. A definite product of its time, Adam West delivers a pretty good interpretation of Batman with his debonair charm and wittiness. We take a look at all the BAPs! and POWs! plus …
 
The Princess Bride is big bag of mixed hilarity. Part satire, part love story with a sprinkle of Monty Python. This film not only brings the funny but it has genuine authenticity on its own accord. Starring Cary Elwes and Robin Wright this cast works very well together not only in its writing but in the action and sword fighting sequences. As alway…
 
I'm gonna get you high today. The 1990's were popular for "hood" movies. Coming of age films depicting the struggles within the inner city community. One film blurred the line between serious drama and comedy. Friday starring Ice Cube and Chris Tucker is a light hearted look into a day with Craig and Smokey. We talk about all the best scenes and go…
 
SNL made a string of films based upon their sketches. Outside of Wayne's World (which we already covered on this show) Coneheads sets itself apart as among the best in the "SNLverse". Starring Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtin, this film makes a rather pedestrian skit from the 1970s into a hilarious 1990s comedy. Also starring many of the 1990s SNL stars…
 
Damon Wayans was absolutely fantastic in this movie. Wayans plays a hardened Marine who gets an assignment to command a bunch of unruly jROTC cadets and tries to get them ready for the Virgina military games. This is what Full Metal Jacket would be if it were made in the 90's...and it was PG-13. The one liners and comedy are top tier and we discuss…
 
This movie doesn't get enough love. Big Bully starring Rick Moranis and Tom Arnold is one of those 90s movies with balls. Great gags, swearing, assault on minors. It has it all! Tom Arnold and Moranis work really well together and if the movie score had a more darker tone, one could argue this would be a thriller based upon how the plot shapes up i…
 
Groundhog Day is approaching soon, so we decided to dedicate this week's episode to the greatest movie about Groundhog Day ever! Bill Murray pretty much plays himself in a comedy about a dude getting stuck in a temporal loop. Science baby! We get down on all the funnies in this 1993 Harold Ramis gem. During the Break: Spoof of the George Strait son…
 
Mel Brooks is one of the most influential film makers of all time. His comedic prowess for satire is some of the best ever! The 1974 film Blazing Saddles starring Gene Wilder is great take on the Western genre and hits hard on some racial commentary that may or may not be able to be made in this day age. We debate that and go over all the hilarity …
 
Episode 50! Can you believe it. We couldn't believe this Kevin Smith masterpiece was from the early 90s. So we said screw it, lets review it. We cannot do justice to the great writing in this film but we try our best to touch on all of the important scenes. Plus soooo much more! During the Break: Spoof of Garth Brooks - "Friends in Low Places" Frie…
 
Happy New Year! With the new year upon us we went with sequel to the 1984 classic Ghostbusters. Set right around New Year's, we couldn't think of a better movie to kick off the new year! We go over all the classic bustin' scenes from the boys in the gray plus much more! During the Break: Spoof of The Cranberries - "Zombie" called "Cosby" Friends of…
 
We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! We decided to do a different episode than just a movie review. We reminisce fondly on past Christmas'. We riff about our favorite gifts throughout our childhoods and some of the Christmas traditions that encompasses our families even to this day. During the Break: Spoof of Van Halen - "Jump…
 
When you think of Santa Claus films usually the Tim Allen version is the one most people think of. Not us! We think of the 1985 version starring David Huddleston, Dudley Moore and John Lithgow. A tale of two films the first half tackles Santa's humble beginnings and the later half tackles his battle for relevancy in the 21st century. So sit back as…
 
Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol in 1843 and over the many years there have been many TV and film adaptations of the story. But to us, none come close as Disney's "Mickey's Christmas Carol". Lots of OG Disney mainstays are represented in this 30 minute special. MIckey as Bob Cratchit, Goofy as Jacob Marley and Donald as Fred, Ebineezer's nep…
 
A polarizing movie for sure. A Christmas Story, whether you love it or hate it, has been gracing our TV's for almost 40 years now. With the new sequel "A Christmas Story Christmas" arriving, we wanted to go back and take a look at A Christmas Story starring Peter Billingsley. So sit back and we look fondly upon all the Major Awards and Red Rider BB…
 
We are on the push to Christmas and we kick things off with the 1992 sequel to "Home Alone", "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" starring Macaulay Culkin. We feel this is the stronger of the Home Alone movies. The traps against the Wet (aka Sticky) Bandits are more sinister and fuckin brutal. And the stakes are even higher as Kevin tries to survive be…
 
We have covered John Candy and Steve Martin before on this show. But what happens when these two icons of comedy combine forces? Well you get the 1987 classic "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" directed by John Hughes. With Thanksgiving right around the corner, this movie was always in rotation around this time of year in our VCR's. We go over all th…
 
The co-hosts of this podcast are split on the work of Pauly Shore. With that said, we can both agree that the 1993 film Son in Law which had Pauley Shore as the lead is indeed funny. Shore's character 'Crawl' has a redeeming quality and a knack for growing on you. The same sentiment can be felt as wins over his college friend Rebecca's family. A de…
 
Sautéed or Barbecued. We decided to transition to the Thanksgiving season (NOT Christmas) by selecting Addams Family Values as our topic. If you have already seen the film then you already know what we are talking about. The iconic scene of Pugsley dressing as a turkey and singing the line of "Eat Me!". Figure it was an appropriate way to transitio…
 
The Addams Family have been engrained in pop culture for many decades. Starting out as a comic strip in the 'New Yorker' in 1938, it was turned into a feature film in 1991 starring Christina Ricci, Christopher Lloyd, Anjelica Huston and Raul Julia. We break down our favorite scenes and moments and zany antics by the Addams Family. YouTube Version H…
 
In this episode we tackle the 1980 Stanley Kubrick masterpiece known as The Shining. Based off the Stephen King book of the same name. Also starring Shelley Duvall we go over this supernatural thriller's best scenes. We also go over our favorite Stephen King movies/books but there are just too many to list. Plus much more! YouTube version HERE ( ) …
 
It's October so spooky season is in full effect. We continue our spooktacular month with a look at a true cult classic in Killer Klowns from Outer Space. This has all the makings of a killer (no pun indented) 'B' movie. We go over all the absurdity and hilarity of this 80s cult hit. Who says clowns are scary? YouTube Version HERE (https://youtu.be/…
 
And now, you're mine! A definite cult classic for sure, this film starring Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker is in constant rotation around Halloween time. A tale of three Salem witches coming back to life to steal the life force of children around the world so that they can live forever! Pretty fuckin metal actually! We go over why this move i…
 
Feeling good Louis! Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd star in this hilarious 1983 comedy about a rags to riches and riches to rags story. Objectively, no one likes stock brokers. And when two meddling old rich dudes mess with two people's lives, the payoff is ohhh so sweet. Even if you don't understand stocks, this movie is incredible and the chemistry …
 
No ordinary thermos will do. Steve Martin is one of the best comedians of all time and that shines through in the 1979 comedy "The Jerk". A movie that paved the way for the Dumb and Dumber's of the world, Steve Martin's comedic timing was on point. Along with his co-star Bernadette Peters, they share a certain charm that makes this film not only fu…
 
I'm your Dad's brother all right. We have covered John Candy on this show before but no other performance stands out on its own like Uncle Buck. Uncle Buck gets summoned to watch after his brother's kids when Bob's Father-in-Law has a heart attack. Uncle Buck is a true "fish out of water" as he tries to balance his own turmoil in his life with bein…
 
Two Yutes...Oh I'm sorry, two youths. Joe Pesci is known as a little hothead in a lot of movies but no movie harnesses that volatility for a good cause like My Cousin Vinny. Pesci was a god in this film and we look extensively at all the great scenes in this film (there's a lot). We also discuss Marissa Tomei's performance (equally as good!). Plus …
 
OO-DE-LALLY!!! Before the Lion King and Little Mermaid, Disney came out with this gem of an animated feature called Robin Hood! Using a unique way to tell the story of Robin Hood. Disney used animals instead of "people". It pays off, as the comedy and action go hand in hand! One of our all time favorites for sure! Check out the YouTube version HERE…
 
She's coming in to your town!! That's right that freckle faced red head girl you want to know is a gem and we love this film. Maybe not as well known as other 80s films, this film is still tons of fun with loads of heart and character. Tami Erin gives an endearing and heartfelt performance as Pippi Longstocking. We talk at length about this killer …
 
We haven't done a horror movie yet so we said "what the hell". Of all the 80s horror franchises, this is one that freaked us out the most. To think, a child's toy, coming to life, and fucking murdering everyone you love. No thanks! No seriously, we love this film and we talk extensively on our favorite scenes and moments. We also take a look at the…
 
We had to run this back. We talked in an earlier episode about Pee Wee's Playhouse and kinda glossed over this film. But we decided we had to give this film its props. Tim Burton's first feature film was a homerun for sure! Accompanied by Danny Elfman's iconic score, we had a blast reminiscing on one of our favorite childhood films. Of course, Paul…
 
YOU LOSE! YOU GET NOTHING, GOOD DAY SIR! Meme's aside, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was a whimsical tale of a young boy wanting much better for himself. A chance to enter a mysterious chocolate factory gives him that opportunity....or something like that. Gene Wilder gives a legendary performance as Willy Wonka as we go over our favorite s…
 
The SNL skit turned feature film, you wouldn't think would have any longevity. As it turns out, its one of the funniest films in the 90s. Mike Myers and Dana Carvey are a great duo with tons of great comedic timing. We love all the 4th wall breaking and we break down some of our favorite scenes. Plus muuuuuuch mooooore!!! This week's "During the Br…
 
"Weird" Al Yankovic is a big inspiration to us when it comes to the world of song spoofs. We chronical his career and go over some of our favorite songs in depth. Plus much more! This week's "During the Break": Song spoof of Earl Dibbles Jr "Country Boy Song" entitled "Cuntry Girl Song". This dude is playing our county fair this year. Had to do it.…
 
Did he say skinny wieners? Summer rolls on as we explore this classic 90s flick about a boy heading to fat camp. But things take a turn when Tony Perkins takes over and makes the campers lives a living hell. Ben Stiller gave a classic performance that rivals his 'Dodgeball' performance. Also flanking Stiller is a young Kenan Thompson and Paul Feig …
 
Nothing but the best! With Summer in full swing, people are heading out on vacation. Whether that's to a destination like Hawaii or a cruise or driving across the country to Wallyworld!! With John Hughes writing and Harold Ramis directing. This already has homerun written across it. We discuss all the hilariousness that Chevy Chase, Beverly DeAngel…
 
We decided that one week dedicated the late great Chris Farley wasn't enough. So we're coming at ya with a double dose. Black Sheep could be considered a Tommy Boy part 2 but overall the same amazing comedic timing is felt between Chris Farley and David Spade. We go over our favorite scenes and just bask in the glory of the one and only Chris Farle…
 
You eat a lot of paint chips as a kid? Chris Farley was a treasure. In this episode we honor him by taking a look at one of his most funniest movies, Tommy Boy. Flanked with David Spade, this duo worked so well together and we explore how and why. Taking place in Sandusky, Ohio, we are confident that the film makers have never stepped foot in Sandu…
 
Need Input! Robots and techy things were all the rage in the 80s. But what happens if you give child like wonderment to an object of war? Well you get Short Circuit! Watch robots act like the 3 Stooges, make weird sexual computer metaphors and dance like John Travolta! Its all there! We get a little goofy with this episode but trust me...its great.…
 
IT'S SHOWTIME! We did Batman 89 a little while ago so we said screw it, lets do another Tim Burton/Michael Keaton banger. None other than Ghost with the Most, its Beetlejuice! Along with Danny Elfman's score this film is dripping with bad ass stop motion effects, eerie landscapes and great fucking one liners that makes this film an 80s classic. Plu…
 
Before the 2022 Chip and Dale Rescue Ranger movie that combined real life with animation. There was the 1988 Robert Zemeckis classic "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"! Fuck the Avengers and Justice League, this film gave us the coming together of all our beloved childhood cartoons. Although this film is a decent enough family movie for the 80s, it wouldn't…
 
Hey! We're all gonna get laid! As summer approaches, everyone enjoys the outdoors. We, in particular, enjoy playing golf and we couldn't think of a better movie than Caddyshack to help us bring in the hot summer season. In this Harold Ramis classic, we go through the star studded performances of Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield and others. Plus much…
 
I'M BATMAAAAN! Ok, We're not Batman, but you know who was for the Tim Burton directed Batman from 1989? Mr. 80s himself, Michael Keaton! We go over our favorite scenes and whatnot and how much this movie scared the shit out of us as kids. But we also riff on Batman as a franchise in general. We give our opinions on our favorite incarnation of the J…
 
One of the most influential and best metal bands of all time take center stage on the show this week. We, of course, go into our favorite songs and albums of Metallica's 40 year career. Also, remines of all the live show we have attended and the good times those were. Plus much more!! This week's "During the Break": - Song parody of System of a Dow…
 
Get to the Point! Living in Northwest Ohio, summer time was filled with cookouts, baseball games, going to the pool ect. But there was only one place where you can really get your summer on and that was Cedar Point! We talk about our favorite rides and attractions over the years. Plus, as a bonus, we have John's brother Joey on the show to talk abo…
 
SHARPTOOTH! There are animated films that have the certain 'style' that is easily recognizable. Don Bluth's animated classic "The Land Before Time" is no exception. We go through many ups and downs here. Some tear jerking scenes that quite frankly, bummed us out. But also heart warming scenes that get our spirits right back up! Plus much more!! Thi…
 
COOOOL RUNNINGS!! This iconic Disney film from 1993 made heavy rotation in our VCR's as kids and as adults. The based on true story events of the first Jamaican bobsled team is a great film full of heart, redemption and never giving up. We sing the praises yet again of John Candy and his supporting role and of course of the main cast as we remember…
 
You play ball like a GIRL!!! Ahh yes, the Sandlot. A definite top 3 baseball film on anyone's list. We banter on the best scenes and remanence on our own childhood days of playing ball on a hot summer day. We also riff on childhood memories of baseball in of itself. Most especially the home run chase between McGwire and Sosa. Plus much more!! This …
