This week on Formidable Opponents we take a look back at some of our most cherished and fun Halloween memories (as well as a haunting figure in a cornfield that nearly beheaded Bob and Joseph).  Join us as this week we talk, candy, traditions, and our favorite memories of Halloween, as Formidable Opponents sets the mood for the best (or 2nd best, or 3rd best) time of the year (depending on whom you ask).

On part one of our two part series, "Top 10 Rock Bands," we had the opportunity to talk about what made us fans of the genre, all whilst touching upon our different tastes and musical preferences.  On this episode, you'll get the same insight, disagreement, comedy and debate as Formidable Opponents lists our top 5 rock bands of all-time, as compared to "Watch Mojo's" Top 10 Rock Bands list.   It wasn't easy to name who ultimately came out on top but we'd love to hear your opinions of our lists and hear you what you think about our selections!  If you haven't yet, check out part I.  So, join us as this week we answer the question of which bands made these ever-important (To us) top 5 lists.  Listen and find out!  Spoiler alert, "Goatwhore"  was not to be found on anyone's list.

We're back after a short hiatus and back to talking about rock music.  It's a genre we've covered with our greatest rock songs of each decade episodes and it now culminates into a two part series where we each list our top ten rock bands.  For this episode, we're covering bands 10-6, so join us on this episode of  Formidable Opponents for a fun and nostalgic conversation about all things rock as we compare each of our lists to "Watch Mojo's" top ten rock bands list.   Also, don't forget to subscribe and tune in next week for bands 5-1!

The 90s dance craze bought us some of the most memorable music of the time.  Wedged between over-sized flannel and Raiders Starter  jackets, the spandex singlet wearing contingency of 90s lore emerged as a popular genre.  Although there weren't many who admitted to enjoying the pulse pounding bass, the operatic and over-the-top choruses replete with the obligatory inexplicable rap interlude, many of us actually enjoyed (maybe not publicly) this unique, often times lampooned genre.  What we can admit through it's campy cacophony is that we enjoyed every minute of reminiscing about it.  This week on Formidable Opponents, we discuss and debate "Best 90s Dance Song."

This week on Formidable Opponents nobody is going to "break-a" our strides, for we will build this thing together, standing strong together, nothing's gonna stop us now,  (not even an absent guest).  This week we're in a great mood as we debate, "Best Feel Good Song."  What's not to feel good about?  We're thankful for you the listener, the opportunity to joke about our opinions and most importantly, we're thankful for our sponsor Athletic Greens (link below).  We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we ALL enjoyed repeatedly listening to Cher this week.

This week on Formidable Opponents, we revisit the video game franchises that have given us and continue to give us some of our most memorable moments.  Like a proper sequel, we've learned a lot since our last foray into this topic.  We sound better, we know what we're doing (sorta) and we've introduced a new character.  Our buddy Danny G. joins us to share his insight and recollections of the franchises we've stayed loyal too and some that haven't stood the test of time.   This week, Formidable Opponents cover and debate, "Best Video Game Franchise."   Try not to blow on any cartridges.

On this episode of Formidable Opponents, we explore that next crucial step in an actors career.  No, we're not talking about winning the Academy Award.  We are talking about those actors that took a leap into faith and decided to pursue a side hustle as singers.  Look, they can't all be like Jack Wagner ("All I Need" was a criminally underrated attempt) but that doesn't stop movie stars from believing that they could do just about anything.   Flanked by yes-men, producers hungry to make a buck and their *ahem* physicians, anybody could have the backing and courage to cut a single.  This week we our joined by our buddy Manny as we dive into many of these long forgotten attempts.  Some of which we actually enjoyed!

Metallica is synonymous with many things.  Metal, success, screwing up our burned CD compilations after upending Napster (sometimes you just want to follow up “The Unforgiven” with “Purple Rain,” while you eat your feelings).  We’ll get into that but more importantly, we’re paying homage to a band that influenced our musical tastes, provided us with countless memories and paved the way for many bands to evolve, thrive and not be categorized by a genre or label.  Through their influence, their sound and their history, we will discuss the music and the stories of one of rock’s influential bands.  This week on Formidable Opponents we debate, “Best Metallica Song.”  Oooooooh, Yeah-heh!

Welcome to episode 58, THAT's 58, NOT 57 as wrongly mentioned in the intro (Give us a break, we're all still in vacation mode).  Once a year around this time we call truce and in that rare moment, we enjoy each other's company.  On this episode, we take a look back at the things that brought us together and extemporaneously share our thoughts and memories on random pop culture topics.  No notes (ok, some), no preparation (telling) and no debates.  It's the one episode a year where peace, love (and in this case grapes) take over and our quarrels are set aside.  We'll cover summer movies, food, post-SNL careers, fictional bands and TV shows of yore.  This week on Formidable Opponents, we're one again revisiting pop culture past on Nostalgia Round Table II (Electric Boogaloo)!
