Musician month comes to a very British ending, as Ali and Rick tackle the Spice Girls' movie, Spice World: The Movie. Special guest Briana Rose Lee joins us to talk about the girl power of the late 90s and how much we all want a Spice Girls reunion tour. Does Ali know actor names? Does Rick know how you win at becoming pope? Does Bri know how to get out of a speeding ticket? All this and an internet outage on this week's 30 Below!
-
Musicians in movies month marches on, with Mariah Carey's masterpiece Glitter! Ali and Rick discuss fashion, music, and relationships. Why is this a period piece? Why is the boyfriend named Dice? Why is this movie called Glitter? All this and a cat meowing on this week's episode of 30 Below.

Episodes manquant?

A new month means a new theme, and Ali and Rick are going to be spending July watching movies that tried to make actors out of musicians. Starting off the month, we already stretch the theme as we have to consider Vanilla Ice a musician first for this to make sense. A movie this cool requires a guest to break it down with us, so friend of the pod CJ offered to give insights on one of his favorite movies. How many crimes is Vanilla Ice committing? Why is Cat into him? Can motorcycles do all that? Find out on this week's episode of 30 Below.
-
Delayed sequel month comes to a close with this 20-years-too-late sequel to a classic in American disaster cinema. Ali and Rick had to call in ID4 expert Becci Schmidt to break down all the ways this movie let us down. Where's Will Smith? What happened to Jeff Goldblum's wife? How did Brent Spiner survive? Why wasn't this movie about the decade-long ground war against the only aliens that landed. Who wanted this? Find out this and more on this week's episode of 30 Below!
-
Rick and Ali are sexily sexing their way back into your feed, with this 10-years-too-late sequel to the movie that made men fear ice picks. Listen in as Ali and Rick wade through some terrible performances to find some dialogue that was technically written by a professional writer. They'll discuss London office rental prices, patient-client confidentiality, and bi-erasure of a queer icon. Plus, they'll make fun of a really bad movie. Listen in, but know there's lots of talk of sexy topics in this one - it kind of goes with the erotic thrillerness of it all.
-
The hits start coming and they don't stop coming, as Ali and Rick watched the sequel to Donnie Darko that you never knew existed. Why are these girls so trusting? How does time travel work in this world? Is Jesusonomy a valid religion? What kind of bird was that? All this and more on this week's 30 Below.
-
Ali and Rick dive into what might be the most unwatchable movie they've ever attempted, checking out this decade-late sequel to a Jim Carrey classic. Why does all the hair and make-up look like that? Who thought this CGI looked good? What kind of name is Traylor? And how do Rick and Ali continue to have perfect impersonations? All that and a joke that takes over a minute to explain on this week's episode of 30 Below.
-
Ali and Rick aren't exactly sure how SEO works, so they are taking the success of Top Gun: Maverick as a sign that what people want is talk of sequels that either came too late or no one asked for. This week's movie definitely fits that second criterion. Is Mila Kunis's character actually rational and calculated? Who is the worst at their job: the cops, the teacher, or the psychiatrist? Were we supposed to not know who the killer was for a little bit there? Did anyone behind the camera ever work again? All this and more on this week's episode!
-
Ani-May comes to a close with the childhood favorite Ali surpressed so much she forgot which movie it was. Listen in as Rick and Ali discuss the hotness of John Ritter, the pacivity of women characters, the mechanics of amusement park vomiting, and whether secretly renovating someone's home is a crime. Be warned, due to the movie's stylings, this is an episode heavy on scatalogical talk, thus proving that the true problem child was the Gilbert Gottfried impressions we made along the way.
-
Ani-May continues with a movie that is, in the strictest sense of the word, not animated. But what it is is a movie that leads to a great discussion between our intrepid hosts. Ali has some opinions on clothes, and we're going to get into them. Rick has opinions on snacks, and knows how to pronounce words. Neither of them wants to kiss an imaginary friend. Listen in!
-
Books: the fun new activity for nerds! Rick and Ali enter a magical world to learn about safety statistics, the three genres of books, and the horrifying existence of magical dragons. AniMay continues this week on 30 Below with a movie that is mostly animated.
-
Ani-May is upon us, so the animated movies must commence! Ali's childhood fave Thumbelina might be a finger too high on the tomatometer, but we know a 30 Below movie when we see it. Rick and Ali journey into the depths of this Don Bluth production to talk about rotoscoping and animating on the twos, the relative sizes and weights of various animals, the least proactive heroine in movie history, and the musical stylings of the man who makes the whole world sing. There's a lot of fun packed into this not-so-bite-sized episode!
-
Easter Season is wrapping up for the year, and to find another movie to watch, we had to go into the Dean Cain mines. We hit a meaty vein, it seems, because we've got the fourth in a six movie series about a dog who is also Kevin McCallister. Will Rick crack the criminal conspiracy? Will Ali rid the world of mayonnaise-based salads? Will Lumi bump against the mic more than Dill meows from the hallway? Listen to find out on this episode of 30 Below!
-
Tax season is over, now it's James Marsden and talking animals season! Ali and Rick discuss the logistics of candy-corporations in a world where the Easter Bunny exists, try to think of anything to say about our bland lead character, and discover an actor mixup more devastating than Paxton or Pullman. Bounce on down the bunny trail to listen in to this podcast!
-
Tax season continues and, due to a clerical error, Ali and Rick are watching Taxi, the movie that has nothing to do with taxes. Strap on your seatbelt and spend an overly long transformation sequence getting ready for this Queen Latifah/Jimmy Fallon vehicle! Vehicle! It's a pun because it's a car and it's a... you know what? Never mind. You don't get to hear my jokes now. Models rob banks, there's a magic bus, and Jimmy Fallon is the worst cop in the NYPD. What do you want from me?
-
It's tax season, so Rick and Ali are doing their government mandated watching of bad movies that are tangentially related to doing taxes. The Tax Collector has nothing to do with doing taxes, but the name is there. Does Ali remember the two other David Ayers movies she's seen? Does Rick know too much about Shia LaBeuf? Does this movie understand the concept of showing instead of telling? Put your green visors on and tally up the score on this week's 30 Below!
-
Strap on your rollerskates and take the biggest hit of whatever you have handy, because Ali and Rick are going to Xanadu. Special guest Anya Klaasen joins our intrepid duo as they learn about Los Angeles geography, go shopping for new duds, and discuss the work of a prolific American animator. Love of disco not required, but it certainly helps.
-
Musical March marches on! Returning guest Kit Chaim Tina-runs back to the studio to talk about this musical adaptation. We've got thoughts on prosthetics! Opinions on Kickstarter campaigns! Musings on if Evan is literally singing his thoughts! Over two hours of content for you to enjoy.

Ali and Rick are hitting the beach in week two of Musical March. Ali has a lot of fashion talk to get off her chest, Rick has opinions on editing, and they both have an appreciation for boat songs.
-
Rick is on the loose, and has broken the one criterion of the podcast in an effort to watch the Girlboss Cinderella. Are the stepsisters evil in this version? How much is Cindy's fabric budget? Can anybody find the Prince somebody to love? Find out on the first episode of Musical March!
