5 or More...

It's here! The Summer of Cult Classics! We're kicking it off with a cult classic that we didn't know is actually considered to be a cult classic... Almost Famous.

Pull out your Jeff Bebe t-shirt, put on your Stillwater record, and rock out with us... sans drugs... we don't know about drugs...

Like. Subscribe. Follow. Whatever. Do it for the Band Aids (they'd love having fans of their own).

We love a summer theme! Thanks to a suggestion from one of our longtime listeners, this summer we'll be featuring cult classics. (But really... aren't most of our movies cult classics? ;-D)

So join our cult!

Whoa, whoa, whoa... we mean... join us this summer for our cult classic series!

It's the day of the episode, y'all. And we've got a guest! (Christopher and otherwise) We're talking about Waiting for Guffman with Apryl Peroney!

We had a blast recording this episode where Apryl gives us a master class in improv by inventing stories about Corky, Bonnie, and Dr. Allan Pearl and we share stories from our own community theater experiences.

Happy birthday, AY! We're celebrating AY's birthday with an AY pick -- Sixteen Candles! (How appropriate for a birthday episode)

Listen to hear:

• Which part of the movie AY is most excited to talk about
• Our reflections on our own high school dance experiences
• AY give a second by second recap of the last five minutes of this movie (hint: this is related to bullet point #1)

Happy Rex Manning Day (belated)! This week we've got a cult classic JDAY pick -- Empire Records!

Lots of strong opinions and silliness in this episode:

• AY is a flawed narrator of her own life, so don't trust any of the facts she shares in this episode
• JD has issues with how the Empire Records store is run
• We go down a Margaret Mitchell rabbit hole (ya, like the author of Gone With the Wind). Listen to see how we get there!

We heard LOTS of opinions about our last musical movie episode, so why not do another? We've got a JDAY pick -- Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory! (Or "Willy Wonkers" as AY calls it)

Theories abound in this episode:

• Was Grandpa Joe the villain?
• Did Wonka purposely plant the golden tickets for those specific children to find?
• What vice would get you kicked out of the factory?

Could you hear AY singing in preparation for this week's episode? No? Well, JD could. It's an AY pick - The Phantom of the Opera!

Join us in this controversial episode where:

• We question the logistics of Phantom-led music lessons
• AY does an impression of Lin-Manuel Miranda as the Phantom
• Unfortunately, JD has weird audio at the beginning of the episode. Sorry! But that's show biz, baby!

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, so we decided to celebrate JDAY-style... with Romeo + Juliet... but like, the crazy 1996 Baz Luhrmann version :-D

Together we ponder:

• Is Shakespeare the original emo kid? His hit song could be titled "Biting my thumb at the gas station".
• Are any of our listeners Shakespeare scholars? We clearly need help in this area.
• Should "Confessions are for Kahoots" be our next 5 or More t-shirt? Jk. We've already decided the answer is yes.

Happy Almost Groundhog Day! We've got another JD pick this week and surprise, surprise... it's Groundhog Day!

Have you ever found yourself wondering, "Gosh I wish I knew more about JD?" Well then this episode is for you!

• JD tells us about his high school project
• JD regales us with the story of where he was during the Blizzard of '93
• JD shares his theories on time travel and morality
• Oh... and AY is in this episode too

It's our first episode of 2026! We've got a JD pick this week -- Hot Tub Time Machine.

This episode has everything... including things that have nothing to do with this movie:

• Rants about the Catch-22 of today's theater industry
• The Cameron Crowe connection (that doesn't actually exist... though AY still insists it's relevant as we write this)
• And Scott Patterson

Tish invites you to play a new game called "Count how many movies JDAY mentions that are not THIS movie during this episode!"
