Brunch

The Bad Boys (who don't smoke) quit smoking once and for all. 

Since our "blast from the past" episode was so well-received, we decided to double-down. And just as we predicted (before it happened), the Oscar nominations have arrived. Also, we discuss the second season of "Friends From College" and wonder why the hell that show gets so much criticism.

The Bad Boys travel back in time to record an episode prior to its release. Also, have you heard about this James Corden guy?

It was a perilous journey but we survived Gillette's savage attack on men, so we'll still be able to time-honored traditions like targeted harassment & children fighting each other...LIKE MEN. Also, we review 'Vice' -- a polarizing movie that paints the Bush administration in the worst way possible -- and 'If Beale Street Could Talk,' which should find its way into Oscars contention.

In a movie-heavy episode, the OBBs lament the Golden Globes and review Escape Room, Mary Poppins Returns and The Favourite.

Pete has a preposterous New Year's Resolution that he will most definitely not accomplish. DJ has a take on New Year's Eve and the phrase "amateur hour." We hand out some prestigious awards to close out 2018...including Bootleg Actor of the Year, Most Handsome Man of the Year, Best Performance by a Mamma Mia Actor in a Non-Mamma Mia Role, Best Achievement in Crying, and more. Plus, a Patreon-only review of Netflix's 'Bird Box.'

"Welcome to Marwen" bombed at the box office, but was it really that bad? Pete thinks so. DJ doesn't, and he feels qualified to diagnose bad movies after seeing "Holmes and Watson." Also, people are furious at Instagram.

We're not getting invited to Christmas parties. (In fact, we are getting UN-INVITED.) We saw 'Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse' and can't figure out whether it's supposed to be 2D or 3D. We fight about which of us liked it better.

Both hosts are under the weather and not happy about it. Melissa McCarthy kills it in "Can You Ever Forgive Me?" Who should replace the great Kathie Lee Gifford?

This is officially an anti-nap podcast. Does ABBA exist in the world of Mamma Mia? Pete is stealing meat from DJ. We begin a campaign to take back the American flag and get Santa to change his traditional Christmas outfit.
