After the premiere of Agatha All Along on Disney+, Jay jumped headfirst into another Witchesâ Road. He watched The Wizard of Oz for the first time in years. Turns out itâs still a good movie and really quite creepy. Itâs easy to find and a definite classic you should revisit (or check out for the first time) Shua and his wife ventured out to a movie night at the Alamo. Without many expectations, they were pleasantly surprised by the newest animated interpretation of a classic toy, Transformers One. With a good story, an all-star cast, and great animation, it really put everything together in an entertaining way.
Enjoy Music!

Growing up we loved to experience edgy comedy without getting too edgy ourselves. That's why Cheech and Chong were so popular to us. So come on a journey of nice dreams and Enjoy Stuff!

Shua jumped head first into the pile of bricks that is LEGO Star Wars Rebuilding the Galaxy. He can give it his recommendation as a fun Star Wars story and a fun LEGO parody. Thereâs some fun new characters that youâll grow to enjoy and some great cameos from Star Wars favorites. Check it out on Disney+. Jay is enjoying the second season of Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. It has a more epic feel and is giving a very entertaining interpretation of Tolkienâs Middle Earth backstory of the origin of the rings and of Sauron.

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.

Jay did a rewatch of Ted Lasso season 3 and was reminded how incredible this show really was. With rumors of a season 4 possible, nowâs a great time to go back and check out the jokes and the heart of the show starring Jason Sudeikis and a variety of very talented actors. Ted Lasso can be found on AppleTV+. Shua is enjoying the new season of Only Murders in the Building starring Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. Heâs not surprised that itâs good, but itâs been especially touching this season and still hysterical. Only Murders in the Building is on Hulu.

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.

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!

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.

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.

This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays we talk about 3 different sci-fi movies that Jay has analyzed. Idiocracy makes some bold (and sometimes accurate) predictions of the future of our country.

Enjoy MacGuffins!
Youâve probably heard of a MacGuffin, but do you actually know what it is? MacGuffins themselves have been around about as long as stories, but the term originated in the 1920s and was made popular by the master, Alfred Hitchcock himself. While Hitchcock believed that the MacGuffin isnât important to anyone but the characters in the story, George Lucas believes that it can be a very strong emotional connection to the people enjoying the story.

After writing about Serenity for Sci-Fi Saturdays, Jay couldnât help going back to check out the 2002 series Firefly. It was such a great idea for a new universe. While we wish we could have gotten more episodes, we are grateful for the ones we have. Shua watched the new Ron Howard documentary about an entertainment icon.

Dick, it takes place in a dystopian future but has some important messages for us today. Check out the breakdown now. Make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com.

In the 1940s, Hollywood had found a strong audience for monster movies. Dracula, Frankenstein, and many more. We also craved our sci-fi attacks. But what if we started pitting some of those creatures against each other? Itâs like the classic boxing matches that everyone got excited for.
When Godzilla arrived on screen, it didnât take long to see how the battles could be even bigger! (pun intended) Those âvsâ movies started with him battling another behemoth star named King Kong. The pandoraâs box of âvsâ ideas had been open and now creators were matching all kinds of characters so that now we have a whole slew of exciting flicks. Jay and Shua generate a random list of characters and try to decide who would win if they made a movie with them.

This week in the United States is Independence Day. A time for the country to celebrate breaking away from a big empire. So this week we look at some filmmakers that break away from big empires of movie studios to do their own thing and get out a story that they are passionate about.
Well-known directors such as George Lucas, John Carpenter, George Miller, Kevin Smith, and Quentin Tarantino all got their starts by making small, independent movies. Not all filmmakers garnish as much power as these directors. Some remain small, but no less dedicated to their work. So kick up your feet and put on a movie that you may not have heard of before.

You already know the plot. What really made this movie stand out was the comedy of Bill Murry, Dan Aykroyd, and all the other popular actors and comedians that filled the screen in every scene. It became the number one movie of the year, even beating out Indiana Jones!
But how could they ever follow up the success? The inevitable sequel came out 5 years later. When we find the boys this time, they are a little down on their luck. Luckily, an evil, possessed painting is going to put them back in business. Peter and Dana are no longer together and she even has a baby from a failed marriage. While this sequel didnât match the success of the first movie, it was still a fun romp with the dead and we got to see that humor again.

Jay grabbed a Marvel comic book series from 2011 called Legion of Monsters. Itâs a riotous romp with classic comic monsters like Morbius, Werewolf by Night, the Living Mummy and Manphibian. Time to get spooky! Shua has been very busy, but has high praise for the 1970 documentary film Let It Be, all about the Beatles famous rooftop concert. After all the work Peter Jackson did on the Get Back series last year, they were able to restore the original and it looks great!
Sci-Fi Saturdays
This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay cultivated some red plants with the Spielberg version of War of the Worlds (2005). Tom Cruise leads up this modern day (and more accurate) telling of the classic 1898 HG Wells novel. It made for a much darker and realistic version people may not have been expecting. But we continue to be grateful that those Martians caught a cold. Check it out today! Make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU.

Since Chinatown was released in 1974, it has held its spot on many lists of great screenplays. Written by Robert Towne and directed by controversial director Roman Polanski, it tells the story of Private Investigator Jake Gittes, who is hired to find out if a womanâs husband is cheating on her. But things get complicated quickly as Jake discovers that the man is a high ranking official with the LA Water and Power Company and is being paid to steal water during a drought. The corruption goes very deep and Jake is thrown into it much deeper than he ever imagined (pun intended)
This movie brings the audience along with Jake as he discovers the clues as they get more and more complex. I was a noir film, with some of the tropes that go along with that, but it defied expectations of characters and plot twists. Film classes still teach this film as an example of great writing and when you watch it through the lens of good cinema, it improves your experience tremendously.
Have you ever seen Chinatown? If not, stop here and go watch it. Now have you seen it?

Jayâs love for comics has led him to a new Marvel series by Garth Ennis about a captured Nick Fury who has to be rescued by Lt. Frank Castle. A wild action, war comic that brings back the feel of the past with the nuances of modern storytelling. Shua listened to an audible exclusive audio drama by actress Felicia Day called Third Eye. Itâs her passion project about the magic world and how a âchosen oneâ didnât fulfill the prophecy of defeating evil, and is now living in shame. Comedy ensues with a star-studded cast.

Shua couldnât contain his excitement for both IF and Unfrosted. IF is a very touching story about childhood and imaginary friends with tons of celebrity performances and a new, breakout star.

Jay sat down for a long, sandy movie marathon by watching Dune parts 1 and 2. Both create a truly gorgeous epic. Denis Villeneuve has created an amazing piece of art that tells Frank Herbertâs story in his own way.

Shua was pleasantly surprised to find that The Fall Guy is a well made, action extravaganza. Ryan Gosling continues his winning streak of fun movies and Emily Blunt shows yet another side of her talent. Shua recommends! Jay was on the edge of his Imperial-made seat while enjoying the series finale of The Bad Batch. Dave Filoni kept us guessing as to the fate of our heroes, and by the end Jay thought it was a satisfying conclusion.

This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay is pulling all the strings of the live action version of Thunderbirds (2004) with Bill Paxton.

There have been countless tales of World War II over the years. These stories recount bravery, determination, and heroism in a way unlike any other period of human history. Growing up, Jay and Shua gravitated towards a few classics such as The Great Escape, The Big Red One, and The Dirty Dozen. Plus, believe it or not, there can sometimes be humor in tragedy. Comedies like Steven Spielbergâs 1941, Mel Brooksâs To Be or Not to Be, and The Zucker Brothersâ Top Secret. There are always lessons to be learned and tragedy is often a great reminder to not repeat mistakes. So letâs all remember that, shall we?
