Take a trip with us down Holiday Road for National Lampoon's Vacation. We're in familiar territory with another John Hughes-written entry in the "Vacation" series, but now it's summertime on the open road. There's also a really ugly station wagon, John Candy, and even a dead body.

We're taking on The Beast and getting our Babe Ruth-autographed ball back in today's episode all about The Sandlot. We reminisce about the baseball experiences of our youth, our favorite bubble gum (not chewing tobacco), and discuss how this classic baseball movie of our youth found its way to theaters.

"Today we celebrate our Independence Day!" We're also going to talk about Independence Day, the 1996 movie from Roland Emmerich. This one has a lot of behind the scenes details along with memories of Will Smith in his heyday, big weekend movie rentals, and weird tabloid trash on the Fox network.

The summer movie season tends to have at least one big animated feature on deck and 1992 was no different. We take a deep dive into FernGully: The Last Rainforest, its feud with Disney and their 1992 release, Aladdin, and all our memories of wearing out this VHS as kids. We also get into environmentally-friendly children's media, non-Disney animated movies, and the outcast status of both back in the 90s.

"That must be Nigel with the brie." Actually it's us with season 5. We're kicking off another season of summer movies with the classic late 90s rom-com 10 Things I Hate About You. Join us for a rare drama-free discussion of a movie that was easily green-lit and everyone became friends. It turns out Heath Ledger really was as great as you always hoped he was.

Throughout season 4, movies that were released in 1985, we kept hearing the same pre-production notes - "this movie should be raunchier, more like Porky's!" So we decided to check out the movie that was the gold standard for teen comedies in the early 80s. Let's just say, we're glad most of those 1985 movies didn't take the studios' advice.

Season 4.0 comes to a close with the comedic murder mystery, Clue! We discuss how difficult it was to write a screenplay that worked, the botched theatrical roll-out, and how it became a cult classic for our specific generation.

What would you do if you suddenly became a werewolf in the middle of your high school years? Become a basketball star, obviously. We dive into Michael J Fox's other 1985 movie, Teen Wolf.

We discuss Paul Reubens pop culture breakthrough and Tim Burton's directorial debut, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. Join us on a trip to the Alamo to save one beloved bike while we discuss Reubens' creation of Pee-Wee Herman, all the weird supporting characters he meets along the way, and maybe some references to European art house cinema.
