  • Episode 36: Syd & Dari
    The guys go as French as they've ever gone in this episode, featuring Ojai's finest - Erin "Syd" Sidney and Dariel "Dari L" Sidney. Syd and Dari give us some great parenting tips, including what age is appropriate to see Ghostbusters 2, how to "rent" movies on Netflix, and which tastes better - Elmer's Paste, Silly Putty, or Play-Doh. Then Syd reveals the exact moment Bon Jovi destroyed his childhood, and Alex calls out Matty for pretending he never liked Creed.
    CAUTION: Squirrels At Play.

  • Episode 34: A Very Izzy Sequel
    CTQ’s first ever return guest is the legendary creator of Guitar Hero – Izzy Maxwell! While he lobbies for votes (“Vote Izzy Maxwell for anything!”), Alex makes a pitch for the fictitious “Half Metal Jacket” and Matty passionately defends the band Alien Ant Farm. Later we learn whether Alex actually got food poisoning from Taco Bell in middle school, or whether that was just an elaborate ruse to see the R-rated A Time To Kill. PLUS: What do The Exorcist, Fools Rush In, and Airplane have in common?
    QUEUE CONTENDERS: Nothing. We didn’t watch a movie.

  • Episode 32: Tim Blane

    Pop open a bottle of L’deracola (or a Large Farva, if you prefer) and join the guys in celebrating the New Year with their friend Tim Blane – not to be confused with voice actor Tim Blaney. Tim describes what it was like to see Rogue One through a “yellow filter,” while Alex attempts to discern what level Star Wars fan he is. Matty’s preoccupied trying to define the term “indie darling” and almost misses Tim‘s big reveal: the secret identity of Banksy! (it’s his brother)

    QUEUE CONTENDERS: “Bob Roberts” (1992), “Man on Wire” (2008), “Short Term 12” (2013)

  • Episode 31: David Hill

    It may be their FINAL episode of the year, but it’s also a CTQ FIRST, as the guys welcome in complete stranger David Hill. We learn that he’s a compulsive list maker, “prefers Tim Burton’s earlier stuff,” and once won the award for “Widest Stance In Colorado” (sort of). Then Alex challenges Matty to name as many Ron Howard movies as he can, and ultimately the gentlemen save Christmas!

    QUEUE CONTENDERS: “Beasts of No Nation” (2015), “Pee-wee’s Big Holiday” (2016), “Babel” (2006)
