This week on Two Shot Tuesday, we welcome back The Movie Guy, Rob Peets, for a night of movies, music, and mayhem. We kick things off with stories from recent concerts, from Pulp to Fat Dog, before diving headfirst into Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest film, One Battle After Another.

We share our takes on the standout performances (yes, Sean Penn might be heading for another Oscar nod), Leonardo DiCaprio’s scene-stealing turn, and why this movie manages to be both funny and gripping all at once. At nearly three hours, it’s a ride — but one that left us impressed, entertained, and ready to rank it against the rest of Anderson’s films.

We kick things off with a toast and a preview of a Toronto whiskey tasting that promises bold pours, new faces, and maybe even some podcast collabs. Barry shares an unexpected run-in with Star Trek royalty, then we dig into what might be our biggest 4K segment yet.

We unwrap the new Superman, complete with steelbook packaging and crisp transfers. That leads into the new Nightmare on Elm Street box set and some James Bond 4K talk.

Top it off with a lightning round of "ripped from the headlines" (Singapore’s obsession with shade, anyone?) and a teaser for next week’s Paul Thomas Anderson review.

This is Two Shot Tuesday: fast, fun, film-obsessed, and always up for a pour.

This week, we’re cracking open our podcasting habits and what makes a great conversation actually work. From Jason’s multitasking approach to Barry’s ritualistic weekly listens, we get into how we consume our favourite pods. We also revisit the gritty pages of Spawn and the nostalgia that comes with it, along with a spirited chat about whether video games are outpacing movies in storytelling power.

It’s a fun and thoughtful ride through the worlds of audio, comics, and the lost art of asking a good question.

Yes, there are two shots involved. It is Tuesday, after all.

This week, we go from whiskey tasting to world travel, with a stop at the Tiki Bar and a very strong opinion on soft cheeses. Jason nails an NFL prediction that earns him some swagger points, while Barry reveals why he prefers bar stools with a little wobble. We also dive into The Long Good Friday in glorious 4K, and debate whether cheese is really worth traveling for. (Spoiler: maybe.)

Just two friends, two shots, and one unforgettable Tuesday.

Listen now, and don’t forget to follow Two Shot Tuesday for your weekly dose of pop culture, football hot takes, and the kind of banter only old friends can deliver.

Football is back—and so is our go-to NFL guru, Craig Zavitz! In this special kickoff episode of Two Shot Tuesday, we welcome Craig to the show for a lively look ahead at the upcoming NFL season.

From playoff longshots to Super Bowl contenders, we dive into bold predictions, roster shakeups, and even share a few thoughts on why the halftime show needs a serious reboot. Will the Bengals bounce back? Are the Bucs for real? And how many tables will Bills Mafia break this year? Craig’s got takes, and we’ve got shots.

If you’re fired up for football, pour yourself a shot and join us for the conversation that kicks off the season the Two Shot way.

In this episode of Two Shot Tuesday, we go full tilt, from the bowling alley to the final frontier to… fertility? Grab your favorite drink and buckle up for a rapid-fire hour of hilarious tangents and oddly insightful moments.

We kick off with a bowling story that rolls into a conversation about what makes food taste better with friends. Then it’s warp speed ahead to Star Trek reflections and an unexpected deep dive into sperm counts, science, and strange hypotheticals.

It’s the kind of fun that only Two Shot Tuesday can deliver: sharp, silly, slightly saucy, and filled with moments that’ll make you laugh out loud.

What do a wasp sting, a lakeside getaway, and a breakfast buffet debate have in common? Whiskey, naturally.

In this episode, we dive into Jason’s painful insect encounter, Barry’s relaxing weekend escape, and some quality storytelling fueled by top-shelf banter. We hit 4K Corner with Ace Ventura, dig into Stephen King’s The Dark Half, and ask the big question: is the breakfast buffet dead—or just getting warmed up?

It’s a little nostalgia, a little horror, and a lot of laughs. Pull up a plate and press play.

Topics in this episode:

• A wasp sting with major drama

• A peaceful escape to Trout Lake

• Ace Ventura in glorious 4K

• A new Stephen King collection

• Ripped from the headlines: the buffet debate

• Remembering Frankie Tomatoes

This week on Two Shot Tuesday, we welcome our pal Lawrie Carruthers to share the ultimate fan story—her unforgettable trip to see Oasis live in Manchester. From the chaotic scramble for tickets to the pure joy of singing along with thousands of fans, Lawrie gives us a front-row seat to the entire experience. She also drops some hilarious concert hacks (hello, bra vodka) and reminds us why live music still matters.

This one's got friendship, fireworks, and a whole lotta Britpop energy.

Whether you're a die-hard Oasis fan or just love a good travel story, you’re in for a great time.

Barry’s back from St. John’s, Newfoundland—and he brought stories: friendly locals, incredible seafood, and a humpback whale that kept making surprise appearances.

We also take a shot at the Naked Gun reboot. Is it actually funny? Did the casting work? We’ve got thoughts.

And just for fun, we imagine what it’d be like to eat a nine-course meal suspended in the sky. Would we do it? Probably. Would we survive? Debatable.

Join us for all that and more on Two Shot Tuesday.
