First vs Last

A lot of our friends are having kids these days, and Michael and Vince argue which of their namesakes are better: MICHAEL or VINCE

Who are the best Michaels in film, TV, sports, music, and art?  And who are the best Vinces?  And are the Vinces better than the Michaels?

With Kimberly as a neutral third party!

All My Friends Are Right Here for the Right Reasons this week, because we're talking about the holy trinity of reality dating competitions - The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and Bachelor in Paradise!

Newcomer Sara and Shay join Vince, Kia, and Kimberly as they explore everything about these series, including how would you behave if you were a contestant on the show, what the different contestants' LinkedIn and Match.com profiles look like, and what's so genuinely appealing about trashy reality television!

Even if you're not a fan of the Bachelor trilogy, you will be after this episode!

Recently, Gizmodo made a Freedom of Information Request to find out what movies were aboard the International Space Station.  The full list contains a bonkers mix of recent Best Picture winners, blockbusters, Christmas movies, and forgotten romantic comedies.

On this episode: Kia, Dylan, and Vince imagine themselves as astronauts part of the Space Station's movie planning committee.  What movie are they watching for the first night?  What movie are they watching when the Russians come to visit?  And what movie franchise or TV series are they totally binge-watching?

Also, the boys discover who's the best ghost writer in all of Hollywood!

Radical! Tubular! Voodoo Economics! This week, we're going back to one of our favorite games: Music Decade! The guys will judge the merits of three given songs from each year in the 1980s, and ultimately determine the 10 songs that perfectly define the decade. Along the way they'll answer important questions like: Was John Mellencamp an icon of gay fashion? What's the real difference between The Replacements and The New Radicals? And do music notes mysteriously get higher in a karaoke room than they do in your car?

Fifteen years ago, Dylan and Scott wrote & directed the award-winning short film "DAY OF THE INVASION", a loving homage to the alien invasion B-movies of the 1950s.  

DAY OF THE INVASION had everything - love, drama, comedy, the best movie president ever (played by Vince) and DESTRUCTOBOT 5000!

Now, Dylan and Scott have booked a meeting with Hollywood's movers & shakers to pitch a feature length version of DAY OF THE INVASION for a new generation. This is their planning session before they meet with the fabled "Pitch Room."

In honor of Father's Day, our panel of expert parents share the TV and movies their kids love that they hate.  Join us for a cathartic episode where our parent friends unload on how much they hate Caillou and Thomas the Tank Engine and Toodles!

Sometimes we hate how the main character is a whiny brat.  Sometimes we hate the premise of the whole world wondering things like Why is a science teacher relying on his 4th-grade students for lesson plans and how can Caillou's family afford that house on a single income?

Also, to balance out all the negativity, our panel explains the things they do like and the things they wished their kids did like.

For those of you don't have kids, this episode will give you all the things you need to avoid.  And for those of you that don't want kids, this episode will re-affirm that you made the right decision.

The Nintendo 64 turns 20 this year, and we're hitting our 64th episode, which means it's time for our NINTENDO 64 SPECIAL!

Many of our friends had extensive videogame collections, and those collections helped inform whose house we wanted to go over to for sleepover parties.  Chase, Cody, and Vince draft the best Nintendo 64 collection, made up of the best racing, sports, multiplayer, and single-player games!

Join us for an awesome trip down memory lane and some great retro-gaming recommendations.

X-Men: Apocalypse comes out this week, and to celebrate the X-Men film series' Sweet 16, we're ranking the previous 5 X-Men films (and discussing the 3 spinoff films).  What's the worst?  What's the best?

Also, who's really to blame for the failure of The Last Stand (which turns 10 years old today)? And.we discuss screenwriter Simon Kinberg's penchant for burning bridges (in both The Last Stand and Apocalypse).  And what X-Man would be the best Pokémon?

Take a trip with us back to 2001 as we evaluate the hottest hits on Now, That's What I Call Music Vol. 6. We'll discuss all the songs and draft our favorites, determining what tracks have stood the test of time. All that plus: the band that spawned from the ashes of 3LW, the shocking truth behind the origin of Coldplay's "Yellow," and we expose the little-known Swedish plot to take over popular music in 2001.

We've got an embarrassment of superhero movie riches now, so ALL MY FRIENDS ARE HERE to look back at the two cartoons that first got us into superheroes: the 90s X-men and Spider-Man animated series.

Join Chris, Vince, and Richard as they remember the great storylines of the X-Men animated series and how they managed to pack Apocalypse and Days of Future Past into the first season.  Also, does Wolverine love Morph more than Jean Grey?

And Vince recounts how the Spider-Man series quickly went off the deep-end as Mary Jane's clone joined a Dormammu cult and Spider-Man teamed up with Spider-Men from alternate dimensions to fight a Spider-Man possessed by the Carnage symbiote!

This episode gets especially nerdy.
