First vs Last

We make internet history this week as we dedicate an entire episode to saying nice things about the Star Wars prequel trilogy. In the spirit of the holidays and good cheer, we challenge ourselves to come up with 20 things that the prequel trilogy does well.

Also... What are the lyrics to "Duel of the Fates"? Is Star Wars part of The Matrix? Just how awesome are Samuel L. Jackson and Christopher Lee?

It's the holiday season, so the guys are getting in the spirit by playing White Elephant, the classic office party game of gift-giving and stealing. They'll try to end up with the best gifts in four categories: Holiday Cocktail, Game To Play With The Family, Version of "Santa Baby," and Movie To Watch With Family. Along the way they'll discuss very merry topics like presents that won't fit in Santa's sleigh, awkward Never Have I Ever confessions, and sexy babies.

We're one year into the show, so happy anniversary to us! In honor of the milestone, the guys are planning a real rager of the party, and debating details like what Now! artist will perform and what Fast & Furious character will head up security. Along the way they'll discuss important topics like the oeuvre of Joan Cusack, Xenomorph job promotions, and how distracting Lenny Kravitz's penis is.

With the release of Creed on the horizon, the gang looks back at the legacy of the Italian Stallion, Rock Balboa. Not only do they rank and discuss every movie, but they also pit their opinions against those of Sylvester Stallone himself, based on a 2013 interview in which he rated each film on a scale of 1-10. Other topics include: an appreciation of the male form, multiple whole-hearted endorsements of nationalism, and the shocking reveal of Mr. T's secret rap mentor.

This week we're going back to school: the school of rock! On this episode, the guys play a game that will require them to know a little about rock n roll history, and a lot about the alphabet. Topics include: songs that name drop Wichita, unpopular opinions on Nirvana, and people who are not Matisyahu.

On this episode, our heroes engage in an epic Dungeons & Dragons style role-playing quest -- and this time, the battles are fought not by rolling dice, but by answering pop culture trivia questions.

Armed only with their Star Trek, Harry Potter, and Love Guru knowledge, our heroes must rescue a village from the villainous thumb of lava-dwelling hipsters who drink bubbling PBR.

The only way to defeat them is to shame them.  And the only way to shame them is to know more than they do.

The newest James Bond 007 movie opens this week, and though we already had a James Bond episode this year, there's no lack of things to talk about when it comes to Britain's top super spy!

This week, our panel of James Bond experts, hipsters, and musically uninclined people are here to rank all 24 James Bond theme songs from top to bottom.

Listen as one panelist attempts to sabotage the list by subtly sneaking not-really a James Bond song "Kingston Calypso" too high, another panelist summarizes academic research about what Madonna's "Die Another Day" lyrics really mean, and another panelist imagines a world where the Quantum of Solace was sung by Jack Black instead of Jack White.

On this very special Halloween edition of AMFARH, the guys have snuck off into the spooky woods behind Old Mr. Miller's barn to tell some scary stories. But these aren't your run of the mill Halloween tales, these are scary pop culture experiences, such as Most Upsetting Spoiler, Most Embarrassing Media Consumed With Parents, and Worst Celebrity Encounter. Topics include: Jakob Dylan hissy fits, the lovely triangles of Laura Croft, and getting shamed by your mom. Good job, mom!

Ever wonder how big time Hollywood movies get made? Well, hopefully not like this! This week Kia and Michael put on their producer hats and try to build the perfect romantic comedy by soliciting ideas from a panel of Tinsel Town's best and brightest. Along the way, they'll answer burning questions like: Is America ready for Ian McKellen as a rom com heroine? Are seals funnier than lions? And how good would a stripped-down piano version of "I Really Like You" sound?

It’s a question that’s plagued men and women for centuries: If you were stranded on a deserted island, what pop culture artifacts would you take with you? What book would you take with you? What movie, TV season, videogame, and music album would you bring along? In this episode, be prepared for such debates as, would you take Lost with you if you were trapped on a deserted island? Also, two guys with lit degrees argue over who really wrote Jane Eyre, and Kia reminds us of that time Buddy Rich had a drum-off with the Muppets’ Animal.
