Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown! That's right. This week's episode is a JDAY pick AND a Christmas classic -- A Charlie Brown Christmas!

Who knew an animated children's movie would inspire us to discuss:

• Commercialization
• The freedom to celebrate
• Time travel

Tis the season to be watching movies! And this week, we've got our first made-for-TV movie and an AY pick -- Babes in Toyland... a movie that is so long, you can wrap all of your gifts while watching it.

This episode has everything as we wonder:

• Is this Cincinnati propaganda?
• How stable is a cookie-based economy?
• Are kids today weaker because they can pause the movie to pee?

Happy Thanksgiving! To celebrate this year, we're skipping the parade and going straight to the annual dog show! That's right. This week's episode is a JD pick -- Best in Show!

And we've got a special guest joining us, JD's sister Courtney. AND like Russian nesting dolls, our guest brought a guest, her daughter / our niece Zuri! So many guests... especially since this movie is from the creative mind of Christopher Guest... get it??

This episode has everything (just like we hope your Thanksgiving dinner plate does):

• We name nuts
• How many kimonos is too many kimonos?
• AY shares the story of her dog Tihsha

We love a cult classic and we love Clue. It's a JDAY pick! This episode has everything -- we ponder:

• What makes a movie a cult classic?
• Do we have any modern day cult classics?
• Is Rock of Ages a cult classic?

Actually... we talk a lot about cult classics...

In honor of Devil's Night, we've got a very appropriately timed JDAY pick -- The Crow! Usually we say "this episode has everything..." but what this episode truly has is our deep appreciation for this movie, both the story it tells and the story behind it.

Like. Subscribe. Follow. Whatever. Do it for Halloween which "ain't until mañana".

It's an ooky, spooky AY pick -- Urban Legend! (singular, not plural) This episode has everything... superstitions about Total Eclipse of the Heart, irrational anger about Charles Breen, AY's close encounter with her own urban legend, and pondering if there really is an urban legend about a shark in the pool.

Do you have a favorite urban legend?? Tell us in the comments!

Happy Spooky Season! To celebrate, we've got an AY pick this week -- Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the movie, y'all). We dig into society's obsession with vampires and then, honestly, things get unhinged from there: Bag of Steaks, JD in a Scrooge hat, Evita, women need pockets, Hamlet, hearts shooting out of AY's face, and Superman vs. Luther Vandross?

Doing movies out of order is fun... right?? We sure hope so because this week we've got AY's pick -- Wayne's World!

This episode has everything... JD listing Pittsburgh TV stations, Hot Takes & Toasty Opinions, and AY refusing to accept a 6-album deal.

Summer has come to an end and so must our Summer of Sequels series. We're closing out this summer series with an AY pick... Wayne's World 2!

This episode has everything -- we question if this movie is part of the Mandela Effect, wonder if Waynestock is the original Fyre Festival, and introduce the theory of the old white man continuum.

It's still the Summer of Sequels AND we have a guest?! Does that make you feel "joyful, joyful"? Well, it better because our guest Tony Rosenthal has brought us Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit!

This episode has everything -- Tony sings, schools us on the credits of this cast, and ponders with us "how does a choir competition save a school?"
