We start off season three with a bang as we talk about our favorite monsters across all media. There are some standard tropes and a couple of wild cards that really make the list pop. The discussion as we get toward the top of the list gets really heated!
-
Season two is in the books! If you haven't listened to every episode yet, this week will let you know the top ten we think you should give a listen to. We also give a preview of some of the topics we will be covering in 2025.

Episodes manquant?

Every year, Spotify gives us the gift of seeing what we've listened to the most every year. This week, we take the top songs on our individual top 100 playlists, and combine them together for this season's last Let's Make A (Play)List. This list is guaranteed to have a lot of bangers and to definitely be all over the place.
-
Many actors have played the role of Ol' Saint Nick over the years. Some are iconic, others, not so much. This week, we look at our favorite Santa's from both television and film. With the both of us involved, you can be sure our personal flair will be thrown in for good measure.
-
Holiday films are great and all, but what should you watch when it's "the most wonderful time of the year" and you aren't feeling the usual fare? This week we talk about the films we associate with Christmas and the holidays that have limited or no tie to the season, but fit right in.
HAPPY FIFTIETH EPISODE OF SEASON TWO TO US!
-
Can you believe it's already December? Since it's the holiday season, we are giving you two-for-one (play)lists this month! Starting it off right, we skip all of the well-known commercial and traditional Christmas songs, and hit you with some that you probably haven't heard before. With Josh and Jack making selections, you know it will be eclectic, irreverent, and everything in between.
-
Sometimes the theme makes the show. This week we discuss our favorite theme songs from episodic television. This is definitely something we will revisit in the future as it was a VERY DIFFICULT EXERCISE to only pick five songs to represent our choices.
-
Most people have done escape rooms. They're a great way to pass the time and work on "getting out" with friends or co-workers. Some of the more "extreme" escape rooms are horror-themed, and well, that fits our aesthetic, so this week we are creating a crew of characters from non-horror-themed media and real life to attempt a run and escape of said type of room. Jack and Josh both approach this exercise differently (what did you expect?). Will that work to the crew's benefit or detriment?
-
We spend a lot of time on this podcast talking about films with a PG-13 rating or above, but what about those with a more accessible rating? This week, we discuss what we believe to be the best animated films for the family to sit down and watch together. One franchise *may* end up with more than one entry on our combined list...but if that's the case, you know it's probably worth it!
-
This week we are discussing the roles for which some actors are best known...their most iconic, if you will. What makes a role define an actor? What makes an actor define a role? We talk through this and give examples of some of our favorites. Jack champions the horror genre, and the rankings get heated and contested!
-
As we close-out our month-long celebration of Spooky Szn, we look at a topic we haven't tackled since our first episode: villains. This time, we focus on those from the horror genre specifically, and pick-out the ones that scare us the most. There's a surprise entrant on Josh's list, and in a rarity, both Jack and Josh agree on the number one choice...
-
The Spooky Szn tribute continues with a band well-known for their macabre and horror-oriented lyrics; Ice Nine Kills. With this being one of Jack's favorite bands, you know lore will be involved. Josh starts off as a casual. Will he end up a Psycho?

Continuing with our month-long tribute to Spooky Szn, this week we attack the Halloween film franchise just like a certain slow, plodding killer for which the films are famous. From the originals to the remakes, we take a stab at ranking them all.
-
This year, we are honoring Spooky Szn with FOUR WEEKS of content that celebrates what this time of year is all about. For our first week, we are looking at our favorite scenes from horror and thriller movies. What makes a scene stand out for us? Do we have any in common? Listen and find out!

With Fall in full swing, we dedicate this month's Let's Make A (Play)list) to our favorite season. Crisp, cool and sometimes spooky vibes inundate our list. Pull out your hoodies, get your PSL and breathe in that earthy air. All hail the songs of the season!

One thing this is for certain: if a film is profitable, someone is going to want to cash-in on that popularity and try to re-create that moment. That's how a lot of sequels come into being. Sometimes it works well and the follow-up becomes more popular than the original. Others fall well short of expectation. This week we are focusing on the latter. We talk about the films we think should have been one-offs and never seen that dreaded poor sequel. Warning, light ranting ahead!
-
In this episode, we revisit a topic we explored last season; the best of the best from YouTube. Don't worry, we decided to retire any of our nominees from our previous review of the topic, so every channel on the list is new this time around. Will this be the week that Josh finally bests Jack? ...Probably not, but it's worth a listen anyway.

Travelling by car is a staple of American life. The Road Trip is the ultimate slice of Americana. Who you travel with can make or break the adventure. This week we discuss which fictional characters we would definitely want to have on a road trip. Jack's chaotic neutral side comes out.
-
If you know anything about us, you know that we love to talk about films. This week we dive into quotes that we find to be the most interesting, the most captivating and the most iconic from some of our favorite films. Some are quotable and some are used as sheer inspiration. "Say hello to our little list!"
