This week Formidable Opponents puts on our best pair of sunglasses, picks up our cordless phones and we're all watching you.  Since we are, there's no better opportunity to join us and listen to a fun and interesting take on songs about obsession.  These hits sometimes hit the mark and quickly grew to be instant obsessive classics, others have just failed and  have been mired in cringe and unintentional comedy.  Check out Formidable Opponents this week as we debate and discuss, "Most Obsessive Song."  Also, don't hesitate to stalk our podcast social media pages, but at least leave a comment...unless your name is Sting.

Football makes for a great backdrop when it comes to movies.  The personalities, stories, relationships, collisions, the emotion, the excitement, what's not to like?!  From inspiring stories, to epic battles on the field, the movies we discuss in this episode capture the essence of the game.  Whether it's the underdog triumphing, the team coming together, or bad Texas accents, or finding out decades later you weren't adopted and only used to monetary gains by a family who provided a studio with an unfair portrayal of who you were, or.... *ahem.*  This episode is about much more than tackles and touchdowns.  This week Formidable Opponents debates and discusses, "Best Football Movie."

We're back talking 90s music videos with our friends Stephie and Lindi from "Turn of the Millennials" podcast.  For this episode, we're running back the 90s video music talk.  During one of our previous collaborations, we talked about "Worst 90s music videos" and we had another great time talking about one of our collective favorite past times as kids.  Our selections couldn't be more different and we promise no monkeys were harmed during this recording.  Also, we wrap up the episode by sharing our thoughts and memories of Paul Reubens and what Pee Wee Herman meant to us growing up.  So, check out our latest and check out our friends at "Turn of the Millennials."  Also, please note this episode has a slightly longer runtime than "November Rain."

This week on Formidable Opponents we examine one of our favorite past times. Sitting in a dark, air conditioned room and escaping the Summer heat while enjoying a great movie.  Not only a great movie, a great summer movie.  A movie where you can shut your brain down for a couple of hours and enjoy an action packed thrill ride.  The films we discuss are what summers were made for.  Classics that will live on forever!  We'll never get tired of these flicks as much as our listeners might get tired of our terrible celebrity impressions this episode.  So kick back and check out the films we selected as our best summer movie blockbusters!  All apologies to Sir Michael Caine on this episode.

The 90s music scene.  What an iconic era.  An era for new expressive sounds, lyrics and personalities.  An era that created an outlook for bigger, better, louder, angrier.  With that sound came a new voice, new problems, new feelings and we explored beneath the surface levels of whom we listened to.  Although plagued with loses of some of the biggest paragons who defined the time, the emotion and the rawness of many of the musical acts of that era have stood the test of time and continue to inspire generations to come.  This week on Formidable Opponents we discuss the frontmen that dominated the 90s landscape and cultivated the lifestyle and our memories of this important decade of music.

This week on a  Supersized episode of Formidable Opponents, we take on Fast Food.  With so many options and experiences, there is no doubt that many of our memories growing up are tied to these restaurants and food items.  They indeed share a special place in our hearts...at least that's what our physicians tell us during our EKG tests.  We cover everything from long forgotten food items, orders we regretted, and times shared with our family and friends.  Most of all, we share some pretty great laughs.  So join us, you may find a wayward onion ring in the basket of fries that is Formidable Opponents podcast.

For episode 90, we're taking it back to the 90s!  We've previously covered "Best 90s One-Hit Wonders" on a revisit, now we are taking on the worst.  The 90s were an eclectic time full of opportunity and joy in the music industry.  Those opportunities and that joy though short lived remains a part of our core memories and on every preset on every radio for anyone who is over 35 sending minivan owners singing along (windows up and quietly to themselves)  all over the world.  On the flip side of that, there are songs many of us would rather soon forget.  They are novelties or just terrible songs you've avoided for over the past 30 years.  Here on Formidable Opponents, we will never forget those 90s one-hit wonders good or terrible because without them weddings, grocery stores, and 10K run-walks just wouldn't be the same.  Admit it, these are some of those secretly shameful songs you still and will always love.  This week Formidable Opponents debates and discusses "Worst One-Hit Wonders."

For every Dark Knight, there is a Batman & Robin, for every Empire Strikes back, there is a Phantom Menace, for every Godfather II, there is a Godfather III. This week Formidable Opponents is talking about that perfect imbalance of bad sequels.   Those movies whose predecessors brought you back thirsty for more and left you completely disappointed.  Look, they can't all be House Party 2 but there's no doubt that when a hit movie rakes it in, studios keep drinking from that well until it runs dry.  Check out this episode and find out what each of us thinks is the Worse Movie Sequel of all time!

This week Formidable Opponents gives the people what they want (to tolerate).  That's right, splash on some of that Curve cologne and put on your best structure polo because we're talking sexy 90s music.  Music from an era, for a mood and yes, we each have our personal and hilarious interpretations of what that means.  After all, nothing is sexier than three middle-aged guys reminiscing about a simpler time where monk chants over a seductive beat and a plum colored suit is all you needed for a memorable night.  This week Formidable Opponents debates and discusses, "Sexiest 90s Song."
