What weâre Enjoying
Shua found a new series of books by an author named Dennis E. Taylor. Itâs all about a guy named Bob, whoâs been revived 150 years after his death in the 21st century and had his consciousness placed inside a self-replicating computer, spaceship. His directive is to find a new home for the dying human race. Soon he has the makings of many copies of himself, creating the Bob-iverse. Jay has been enjoying James Gunnâs first DC release in the animated series Creature Commandos on Max. An adult show that is proving to be a unique take on the superhero/monster genre
Sci-Fi Saturdays
This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay pulled a lot of resources to review Push. Itâs a different kind of superhero movie and features Dakota Fanning and a pre-MCU Chris Evans. He also tells us about a little known sci-fi movie called Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel. It takes all the tropes of time travel movies and throws it into a fun comedy.

Shua found another old book. The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury was a fascinating prediction of where the human race was headed. While not all of Bradburyâs predictions may have come true, the human nature that he spotlighted is still as ugly as ever. Jay revisited the classic Bill Murray, Harold Ramis movie Stripes. Not only did he have a great time on his rewatch, he learned some interesting things about the original vision for it too.

Jay enjoyed a lot of fun and laughs as he finished up the latest season of Only Murders in the Building. Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez nailed it again along with a plethora of other stars populating season 4. And now that we know thereâs going to be a season 5, you can bet there will be a cliffhanger ending. Shua checked out the new Robert Zemeckis movie âHereâ with Tom Hanks and Robin Wright. A movie that takes place in one place where the camera doesnât move. The story moves back and forth through time, stringing together a story of the house and the families that lived there. Not the strongest story, but definitely worth experiencing.
Sci-Fi Saturdays

Shua is trying to get through all the great things heâs been enjoying the last couple months. And in the meantime heâs been listening to some Christmas music. And NO! Heâs not ashamed of it at all. Jay has been watching a series on Peacock called The Resort. Itâs an interesting mystery that stars Cristin Milioti and William Jackson Harper about a couple that make some interesting finds on a resort island.
Sci-Fi Saturdays
This week Sci-Fi Saturdays returns. Jay examines the 2007 space movie Sunshine. The movie is about a group of astronauts that are reigniting the sun, but whatâs more interesting is the impressive cast. Cillian Murphy, Michelle Yeoh, Rose Byrne, Benedict Wong, and Chris Evans are among the big names that are found in this movie that has drifted into obscurity. Read his article on RetroZap.com.

Enjoy TV!
When Gene Roddenberry was trying to get Star Trek off the ground, it took a lot of convincing of executives, the help of influential stars, and a lot of reworking of ideas, stories, and characters. They created the pilot and it wasnât quite up to the standards that would manage to get it on the air. But eventually, the classic episodes we know and love did find their way to our TVs. Much has been written about and discussed about itâs legacy and influence, and we share some of the episodes that made it special to us. Brace for impact and get ready to explore Star Trek the original series.

Jay has been powering through his 31 Days of Horror and found a gem with the Irish horror/comedy 2012 movie Grabbers. Itâs a lot like Tremors, but with more Ireland and more drinking. It was scary, funny, and entertaining. Shua couldnât wait to watch the documentary ÂĄCasa Bonita mi Amor! Itâs the story of South Park creator Trey Parker buying his favorite childhood destination, the famous Mexican restaurant Casa Bonita. Turns out this was Shuaâs place of employment for 23 years, so he was really interested.

Shua was not ready for prime time when he saw the new movie Saturday Night. Itâs the tale of the first, hectic night of the long running NBC skit comedy show Saturday Night Live. While not being 100% accurate, it is very informative and extremely entertaining with good performances of the legendary comedians and others involved in the creation of this American icon. Jay is Enjoying the HBO dramatic series The Penguin, an origin story of the classic DC comics Batman villain. Colin Farrellâs amazing transformation into the title character is phenomenal.

Enjoy Witches!
For hundreds of years witches have been the source of stories and fear. But the origins and creators of these fears are way scarier than what might have been actual practicing witches. A written record of a witch dates back almost 3000 years ago. In the mid 1400s some really ignorant and cowardly men wrote a book that created a hysteria of violence towards women who they accused of practicing witchcraft (whether they were or not)
Have we become wiser and more evolved today? Well, probably not. But we have a ton of witch characters in TV, books, and movies that can entertain us and even make us question the wisdom of how we treat others. Classic characters like Elphaba and Glenda from Wizard of Oz have lasted generations. Cartoon favorites like Maleficent, Broomhilda, and Sabrina gave us opportunities to laugh at the characters as kids.
Then, at the end of the 20th century, the characters in Harry Potter truly showed that witches could be powerful heroes. It really changed peopleâs perspectives of witches in our culture. Now we see them pop up in all kinds of different ways, both good and bad. We have no doubt that witchesâ legendary status will last forever.
Which witch do you watch? Who's your favorite? First person that emails me with the subject line, âIâll get you my little prettyâ will get a special mention on the show. Let us know. Come talk to us in the Discord channel or send us an email to [email protected]

Enjoy John Candy!
John Candy was a Canadian actor, comedian, and all around nice guy. His humor was spotlighted on the series SCTV and expanded into the movies. Sometimes he played secondary characters, but other times he played a lovable and bumbling hero that we loved to root for. His life ended way too early, but he left us with some great comedy to enjoy for years to come.
Since we are closer and closer to Halloween, we pair some of the most popular candies with some of John Candyâs best movies. What a tasty way to laugh!

Enjoy Haunted Houses!
Welcome foolish Earbuds! We will take you on a tour of Haunted Houses from movies, TV, and the real world. What is it about an old spooky house that is falling apart, and making mysterious noisesâŠand people died there that scares us so much? Maybe thereâs no rational explanation, but it sure is fun. There have been countless stories for generations that get our blood flowing and our heart racing fast.
But movies and TV arenât the only place you can get frightened of a casa. There are real life ones that you can visit to hear histories of horror such as the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado or the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California.
And of course the classic haunted houses in theme parks such as the Haunted Mansion in several Disney Parks and others across the globe.

Thereâs some fun new characters that youâll grow to enjoy and some great cameos from Star Wars favorites. Check it out on Disney+.

Enjoy Movies!
Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong met in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1969, and started a friendship that lasts to today. They found they had a similar sense of humor and began improv together. They expanded to opening for others, and eventually headlining large venues. Their movies arenât deep, and often centered around infantile and drug humor, but it influenced a lot of people and set us on the path of understandingâŠwell, a little. We still donât understand the Corsican Brothers. Whether you loved them or hated them, they have been an important part of our culture and the comedy world.

Heâs not surprised that itâs good, but itâs been especially touching this season and still hysterical. Only Murders in the Building is on Hulu.

Weâll start off by looking back at our experiences from the original. What did we think of it back then? Why was it so popular? Weâll analyze our feelings from all those years ago. Then weâll look at everything that came after, such as the animated series and the video games. Then weâll discuss whatâs to like about the sequel.

Shua seems to be overcoming his avoidance of scary movies. He watched A Quiet Place: Day One with Lupita Nyongâo and Joseph Quinn. It was an intense addition to the franchise and gives us a terrifying origin story for our planetâs downfall. Jay is spending some of the waning summer days playing disc golf with his son. A cheap and easy activity that is lots of fun and gets you moving outside. Check your area for some disc golf courses, or just make your own.
Enjoy Life!
For many years our culture has put a stigma on the simple and natural truth that a personâs head can be bald. Both men and women alike are susceptible to losing their hair in a variety of different ways. But we here at Enjoy Stuff are here to pull you into the worldwide celebration of Bald is Beautiful Day! BIBD was created by John Capps from Moorehead City, NC. (Iâm not kidding!) John started the Bald Headed Men's Convention over 50 years ago and the momentum hasnât slowed down. Many people proudly sport the shinier side of their melon, including a variety of famous people. Join us as we sing praises to cue balls everywhere on Enjoy Stuff!
How do you show off your head? Are you a part of the proud bald army? First person that emails me with the subject line, âBald and beautifulâ will get a special mention on the show. Let us know. Come talk to us in the Discord channel or send us an email to [email protected]

Greedy people may annoy all of us, but they make for an entertaining movie. Jay enjoyed the Joseph Gordon Levitt dark comedy Greedy People. It has a lot of twists and unexpected surprises that keep you entertained. So be prepared for an unexpected ending. Shua revisited the 1979 new beginning for a franchise. Star Trek - The Motion Picture may not be the best Trek film, but it has itâs merits, and it kept the universe alive.
Sci-Fi Saturdays
This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay reluctantly added the 2007 adaptation of the much loved 80s cartoon Transformers. This Michael Bay film was definitely a spectacle, but could it live up with our expectations? It depends who you ask, but either way, Jay breaks it down and gives his analysis on Sci-Fi Saturdays. Read his article on RetroZap.com. And make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. There are some new locations from Agents of SHIELD season 3.

40 years ago Steve Martinâs movie career was really on the rise. He teamed up for the fourth time with Carl Reiner for the âbody swapâ comedy All of Me with Lily Tomlin. She plays Edwina Cutwater, a very rich woman who is about to die. Instead of coming to terms with it, she has hired a Swami to put her soul into Terry Hoskins, the daughter of Edwinaâs stable master Fred. But in a freak accident, she gets put in Steve Martinâs Roger Cobb instead. Now he has to find the Swami to fix it all. It was a fun concept and holds up today. We look back on it all and talk about why we love it.

In a rare display of bravery, Shua went to see Alien: Romulus. He thought it was a nice addition to the franchise and felt like a sequel to the first one. And there are some fun surprises. Jay decided to check out last yearâs Paul Giammatiâs character film, The Holdovers. He was pleasantly surprised by the acting and story.
Sci-Fi Saturdays

Jay was reminded of a Michael Keaton movie from earlier this year called Knox Goes Away. It starts off as a movie about an assassin who is looking to get out of the business. But it quickly turns unique when you find out that Keatonâs character has a quickly worsening form of dementia. You can check it out on Apple TV+ or Max. Shua grabbed an old Sci-Fi paperback from his shelf called Earthship and Starsong by Ethan I. Shedley. It never made it into the annals of sci-fi legends, but it is an interesting tale of humans' quest (and selfishness) for survival in the universe. Unfortunately we made enemies of everyone else in the universe. You can find this book on Amazon and other online sources.
Sci-Fi Saturdays
This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay has reminded us of a 2006 Hugh Jackman movie called The Fountain. This unique movie tells a similar tale about a doomed couple from different time periods of history, which spans thousands of years.

40 years ago, a movie was released that was based on a possibly true story from 40 years before. Michael Pare and Nancy Allen star in the Philadelphia Experiment. Pare and Bobby DiCiccoâs characters get flung forward in time to 1984 following a failed Navy experiment in World War II. Their problems werenât over because they were still connected to the bizarre vortex that sent them there, causing painful outbreaks of electricity. Plus, the scientist who caused the accident, did it again with a whole town. Now Pare has to get back to stop it.
The movie is often compared to another WWII time travel movie called The Final Countdown. In that movie, the time travel happens in reverse, sending the USS Nimitz back to 1941 just before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Which movie did it better? We compare them and explain which one we like the best.

Shua is Enjoying a new late night show starring young comedienne Taylor Tomlinson called After Midnight. Itâs a pretend game show where comedians and celebrities answer goofy questions about the internet and modern day goings-on. Clips of the CBS show can be found on YouTube. Jay is watching the new Time Bandits homage created by Taika Waititi. Itâs only a few episodes in, so we are reserving judgment. It doesnât feel exactly like Terry Gilliamâs original, but it is a cute story in itâs own right. You can find Time Bandits on Apple TV+.
