For the final week of season 2, we went big. Shane is joined by Talia Bernstein (9JKL), Alex and Sarah Franklin (Trust the Bachelor Process podcast), Tiffany Tomaszewski (The Guilty Remnant podcast), and Kristen Zublin (Booch improv) and we take on one of our collective favorites, âMean Girlsâ. We start talking about what this movie means to us, past mean girl tendencies, and then it devolves into just us talking about our old screen names, Smarter Child, getting cast as Mary Magdalene, and typical jr. high/high school outfits. Itâs a lotta fun! Learned a lot.

Dana Cox, Rachel Forman and Katie Plattner of the improv group Goblin Boys come on to do Disneyâs foray into the Middle East, âAladdinâ. We discuss first crushes, Dana and Rachelâs Dominos + âAladdinâ after school routine, Rajaâs gender, âMoanaâ, the whole âGenie, youâre freeâ meme from when Robin Williams died, who counts as a Disney princess and Shaneâs disdain for Aladdinâs voice.

Rachel Hastings (Bobâs Burgers) and Allegra Ringo (Can I Pet Your Dog? podcast) are both so lovely and funny, so of course they brought on the lovely and funny (and weird) movie âRomy and Micheleâs High School Reunionâ! Together they discuss taking the movie seriously, Mira Sorvinoâs insane accent choice, the lack of female buddy comedies, wondering who sets up high school reunions, who we went to high school with and why we live in big cities with tiny houses instead of owning a big home in the middle of nowhere.
Check out Rachelâs episode of âBobâs Burgersâ called âThe Hurt Soccerâ on HULU. And check out Allegraâs podcast âCan I Pet Your Dog?â on Maximum Fun.

Dickie Copeland and Joel Jensen (UCBâs The Dragons) are back for some more Tolkien, yâall! This time itâs âThe Two Towersâ and we have a LOT to say about it. Some things covered include the sparse use of Haldir, problems with Faramir and choices taken differently than the book, more fantastic Orc lines, how great Aragorn is, Eowynâs awful singing, some Hobbit shit-talking, and mostly, our favorite parts.
If you are in LA, definitely go see The Dragons perform at UCB. They are the best!

Them Lennonâs do Signs!
Note 1: I know Bangladesh is a country, Iâm sorry.
Note 2: The joke I claim no one will recognize is from âRocket Powerâ

It was a no-brainer to have Shaneâs brother Will back, as well as their cousin Henry to do M. Night Shyamalanâs last good movie, âSignsâ. They all love this movie despite itâs faults and have seen it many, many times. Discussion includes a terrible fan theory about demons, having to admit Mel Gibson is good in it, Michael Showalterâs cameo, and mostly just really breaking down why this movie is great.
Clarification: Graham is an Episcopal priest.

After doing a movie that was later to be renamed âA New Hopeâ, Patrick Ehlers and Mark Mitchell (Nintendo Cartridge Society podcast) had to come back and do every Star Wars nerdâs favorite of those films, âEmpire Strikes Backâ. The three of them talk being fine with Ewoks, the stress and dragging this movie brings, hating nostolgiabate/Star Wars nerds, Patrickâs desire for Yodaâs feet, Vaderâs managerial skills, and what counts as nerdy now that nerds are mainstream.

This is a big one for Shane. When Rachel Chapman, Clare Loughran and Oscar Montoya were on the first time to do âEmperorâs New Grooveâ, they finished recording, then immediately realized they all were obsessed with Tom Hanksâ feel-good, extremely likeable, fake one-hit wonder film, âThat Thing You Do!â. So of course, they had to come back on and totally nail this thing. On this episode, the 4 of them dive into why they love this film, the brilliance of Steve Zahn (praying for the Zahnassiance), the movieâs (possible) only flaw, how much they love the titular song, one of the best scenes in film history and what the hell they were thinking when they made the extended edition.

Mike, Patrick and Shane knock the recreation of âSummer Catchâ out of the (smaller-sized) park!
(Listen to their discussion of the movie on the previous episode!)

Michael Levin and Patrick Kang (NBCâs Trial and Error) are back to talk one of their favorite summer jams âSummer Catch.â Together they discuss such things as Matthew Lillardâs off-color jokes, Freddie Prinze Jrâs Boston accent, the filmâs connection to âGood Will Huntingâ, an amazing anecdote about a former âScrubsâ star, bad movie baseball and overall, just convincing Shane this is a good movie.
Watch season 2 of Trial and Error on NBC, starting on July 19th! Also, listen to Mikeâs 76ers podcast, The Rights To Ricky Sanchez (TTP)!

Convoy and Shane attack âJawsâ! We sing âLe Freakâ a lot.
*Apologies for the audio quality! Itâs still funny!*

It was a huge honor to have Alex Berg, Alex Fernie and Todd Fasen (UCBâs Convoy) come on the show to talk the first ever blockbuster âJawsâ. We talk the way story is told that other filmmakers get wrong and overall pretty much just the strengths and weaknesses of Spielberg. Donât worry, we love him. We arenât snooty.
*Apologies about the audio quality*

A Playing Favorites Special Episode: Last year for Fatherâs Day, I had my Dad, Joe Lennon, and my Uncle/Godfather, Kipp Lennon, on to do âThe Godfatherâ and it was a blast. So of course this year, I had to have them back to do âThe Godfather Part IIâ to complete it (*The third Godfather does not exist and shall not be named*). We compare the two movies, talk about the brilliance of DeNiro, Coppola biting off a little more than he could chew, Pacinoâs pronunciation, missing Clemenza, tracking shots and debate if Johnny Ola got killed (my Dad was right, he did). Then after we take this 3 and Âœ hour behemoth and recreate in half the time! My accents are terrible in this but who cares. I love my Father and my Godfather and we absolutely love The Godfather(s)
