Episode 182 - American Pie (1999) & American Pie 2 (2001)

We started with some raunchy teen comedies at the start of this 2001 Fortyear, so what better way than to revisit the most influential one of all in this penultimate episode of the series?  Join Rob and Zack as they discuss the state of raunchy sex comedies since the early 2000's, Euphoria, The Matrix franchise, and Rob's favorite joke of all time!

Episode 181 - The Others (2001) & America's Haunted Houses (1998)

Get ready for another movie for which Rob & Zack have differing opinions!  But which of them likes this methodical, atmospheric, and pretentious film?  How has Rob had incorrect information about this movie for most of his life?  Plus, in a first-ever twist, there is an entire episode of Cinemoddities inside this one!  Get ready for episode-ception where the great Ghost Cat is introduced to the Cinemoddities family.

Happy Birthday, Ben Affleck!

What better way to celebrate this year than with one of the craziest things coming from Ben Affleck than his first directorial effort: the short film "I Killed My Lesbian Wife, Hung Her on a Meathook, and Now I Have a Three Picture Deal at Disney".  What more needs to be said other than that title?  If anyone wants to watch this short film, it is available on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PA-QNd8AxIE

Episode 180 - Rat Race (2001)

It's a movie Rob's been eagerly waiting for during the 2001 Fortyear!  The only problem is that it turns out there's some contention between him and Zack on this topic, which was unexpected.  Oh boy, do they argue over this one.  There's debate over if a cow talks, one shot of a car in a driveway, comedy in general; it's a doozy.  Tune in and see whose side you take this time!

Episode 179 - The Princess Diaries (2001)

Although we're covering a movie we don't think anyone ever really wanted us to, this episode has everything!  Hear Rob & Zack talk about some big time characters like Fat Louie, Cruella, and The Gorn.  Then, they get into the 2006 Yu-Gi-Oh US national championships and Zack tries to belittle the fact that Rob doesn't get brain freeze.  With all of this, don't worry, they still vehemently argue about this G-rated Disney movie!

Episode 178 - Planet of the Apes (2001)

We've had some high points during Zack's 2001 Fortyear, but we've also had some lows, and this one might be the lowest.  Especially since it's immediately following last week's episode on dinosaurs.  But what is the difference between movie apes and movie dinosaurs?  What's the deal with Tim Burton?  How crazy were the action figures for this movie?  Could this movie have been better?  Listen in on an episode that is definitively better than the movie we're covering!

Episode 177 - Jurassic Park 3 (2001)

We're back to dinosaurs, and Rob is not happy.  Join him and Zack as they discuss the shortest dinosaur installment and the future of the franchise.  But did dinosaurs actually exist?  Does the answer to that question actually matter?  Why does Zack get so much enjoyment from digging up Rob's repressed memories of Barney?  What does Lupe Fiasco have to do with this movie?  Tune in to find out!

Episode 176 - Legally Blonde (2001) & Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde (2003)

Finally, filling in a cultural blindspot for Rob, we're talking Elle Woods and Legally Blonde!  How does the sequel stack up to the original?  How many laughs do they get out of Rob & Zack?  What is Reese Witherspoon doing with her career?  Why is it always what we will do do do do do?  Tune in to find out!

Episode 175 - The Score (2001)

This episode has everything!  Rob losing his mind, talk about Brando, behind-the-scenes legends, DeNiro hot takes, and Edward Norton doing something crazy.  All this for an incredibly basic film directed by Yoda (or Miss Piggy) himself.  2001 truly had it's highs and lows.

On this installment of Song Screed-amoddities, Rob & Ben are back to talk about the artist known as Tom MacDonald.  It's not a discussion just about his music, but rather what he stands for as a whole today.  But is this a type of music Rob isn't used to?  Is it dangerous?  Is Tom MacDonald an industry plant?  Does the answer to that question matter?  It's a great philosophical discussion that we hope you listen in on!
