Saint and Jim are saying "so long" to season six with a bit of an odds-n'-ends episode. Reason being, sometimes they toss out possible topics that are intriguing, but not necessarily beefy enough to carry much of a look. F'rinstance, when exactly did the "Terminator" franchise jump the shark? Why were we all irrationally afraid of quicksand as kids? And what's more intimidating: hiking across Death Valley, or taking a casual sail through the Bermuda Triangle? No topic too big — but, um...maybe some are too small. Also: nerdy news they had to get out before the annual winter hiatus hit. So, see ya soon! But in the meantime: earholes.

Now that Jame's Gunn's new Big Blue Boy Scout trailer has hit the interwebs, Saint and Jim thought it might be time to dig a little into The Supe You Think Of When You Think Of Supes — mostly 'cuz it's right there in his name. Not a bird, not a plane, but Kal-El himself. He's been depicted on-screen countless times, dating all the way back to '50s serials right up to yesterday. But who's YOUR Clark? Are you a Cavill person? Soft spot in your heart for Reeve? Or are you holding out "it means hope" for Corenswet? No matter whose "S" is your favorite, go ahead and lend the guys your earholes as they take a look at all the Supermen who have soared across your screens, then let 'em know who YOUR fave Son of Krypton is.

Everyone needs a day off from time to time, whether that's due to fun activities, it unplanned family events requiring your attention. In this particular case, Ol' Jim needed the week off, so Saint recruited his lovely better half to step into the co-host chair to discuss the nature of fandom, how it can start, and what it even means. Plus news and memes galore! Fun times for all. Unless maybe if you drive a cybertruck. Then probably not.

No matter what your feelings are on Disney, there’s no denying it: the Mouse House is a complete entertainment juggernaut. Movies, TV, video games…you name it, they do it, and well. But there’s one aspect of their entertainment empire that — despite being absolutely amazing — often gets overlooked. And that’s the music. Disney films have been responsible for some of the catchiest, ear-wormiest, toe-tappin’est tunes in cinema history. And even a couple of grizzled, cynical old-timers like Saint and Jim have to admit as much. From the bouncy “Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo” to the calypso-flavored “Kiss the Girl” to more modern classics like “Let it Go,” Disney ditties slap just as hard as any Billboard chart-topper. So in this episode, the boys break down some of the biggest bangers of Disneydom.

Advertising. Even just saying the word makes people roll their eyes, since the culture has managed to find ways to cram ads into every bloody crevice in the universe now. We even pay extra just to skip them a lot of the time. But it wasn't always that way, was it? Back in the last golden age of advertising (in the '80s and '90s, which was basically the last best time for everything pop-cultural), ads were actually a form of entertainment in and of themselves. In this edition of FYF, Saint and Jim take a look back at the retro ads of their youth, which — despite being little but crass marketing — still have the ability to evoke a very specific brand of nostalgia. So get your skis shined up, grab a stick of Juicy Fruit, and put this in your earholes.

Okay, so — total disclosure: Saint and Jim are still doing a little bit of a mood whiplash tour; flailing somewhere in the middle of blinding rage, crushing sorrow and pants-filling terror. But getting back to something that passes for normal (here during the calm before the storm period of the proceedings) seemed like a good idea. So they sincerely hope you're as consoled by hearing this episode on binge-able comfort media as they were in recording it. Things are probably gonna get weird here right quick, but they're still gonna do their best to bring you as much friendly noise as they can, as we all ride out yet another horrifyingly unprecedented period in history. Thanks for listening.

Hot on the heels of Saint and Jim's controversial food takes last week, this edition of FYF digs through the Trick or Treat bag, and throws back to the halcyon haunts of history's Halloweens — before our boys' pancreases declared mutiny on their glucose levels. The topic? Candy. Which sugary nuggets from your repurposed pillowcases were trash, and which were treasure? Are you more of a sucker for Snickers, or bonkers for a Butterfinger? Are two Twix better than one KitKat? Will you trade us two Almond Joys for a Reese's? And who's eating the Circus Peanuts? Let's all use our sweet tooth to dig into some treat truth, and break down the best and worst of your begged-for bon-bons.

There are a lot of weird quirks inherent to being human. Everyone has different fashion sense, different thought processes, and a different worldview. But one of the biggest things that truly makes us all individual? Our palates. One person's yum is another's yuck when it comes to all things food. On this edition of FYF, Saint and Jim break down controversial food opinions, e.g. — Does cilantro taste like soap to you? What are your feelings on tomatoes? Does pineapple belong on pizza? What's the most repulsive food in the world, and why is it mayonnaise? Plus, all the news that's fit to nerd. Eat up!

A bit of trivia: did you know that the largest toy distributor in the world is way better known for selling billions of burgers? The humble McDonald's Happy Meal has been a staple of American kids' diets for decades. But as much as everyone loves McNuggets and fries, the real appeal of those brightly-colored little boxes has always been the plaything inside. Whether you preferred Barbies, Hot Wheels or Beanie Babies, there was always something cool in there to help fill up our toy box. In this edition of FYF, Saint and Jim take a look back at some of the best, worst, weirdest and most collectible Happy Meal toys of the last 50 years.

What's the first film you think of when you see the words "Cult Movie"? Chances are, it's either some perennial classic full of fishnets, gold lamé shorts and rolls of toilet paper being lobbed at the screen, or a pulpy grindhouse thriller that's hardly ever seen the light of day — because it's only ever screened in seedy cinemas at midnight. Or, maybe it's even a deeply personal picture you and a small group of friends got together to watch over and over in college. That's really the beauty of the cult movie — any one can be a quotable quip-off that holds up to repeated viewing. On this edition of FYF, Saint and Jim take a look at the phenomenon of cult films, discuss what makes for the perfect flick-with-a-following, and go over some of the biggest movies to have ever earned the label.
