  • Here's Why It's Great - Star Trek V: The Final Frontier

    Blast off to warp speed as your hosts John and Sebastian boldly go where... well, probably quite a few podcasts have gone before. As your brave hosts dissect this William Shatner directed entry in the seminal sci-fi series, they'll give it all she's got (Captain) to mine the gold of what many consider to be the nadir of the Star Trek film series. But with the help of Spock's half brother, Sybok, your hosts let go of their pain, and their reasons for loving the film multiply like a holodeck full of Tribbles. Will they find the face of God in the comic stylings of the Enterprise crew? Will they squirm at Uhura's "sexy" dance? And will they ever learn where Kirk finds Jordache Jeans in the year 2287? Find out as we "make it so" (er, wrong Generation) on Here's Why It's Great!

  • Here's Why It's Great - Transylvania 6-5000 w/ Lindsay Calhoon Bring

    Crap sells. Crap, crap, crap crap crap. And that's this week's subject in a nutshell: total crap. So it's up to your hosts Sebastian and John, with a little help from Lindsay Calhoon Bring (writer, Netflix's Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) to dig through the crap and find the bits of brilliance in this odd comedy(?) that you probably haven't heard of! It'll take childhood crushes on Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis, Ed Begley Jr.'s eco-friendly cleaning products, Carole Kane's weird accent, and a lot of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee to get your hosts through Transylvania 6-5-oh-oh-oh. So hop on the train to... over there somewhere, and relive the thrills, chills, and spills (Michael Richards falls a LOT in this movie) of a forgotten classic on Here's Why It's Great!

  • Here's Why It's Great - The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
    Bare those fangs, sharpen those claws, and wig out, because it's time for your hosts to take a bite out of the next installment of the Twilight series. In their careful, ernest, and very serious dissection of the film, John and Sebastian give you the blow by blow of all the action in Forks, Washington: Will Bella get over herself and marry the studly bloodsucker, Edward? Or will she warm to the affections of the hunky wolf boy, Jacob? Will the baby vampire army (not vampire babies, sadly) amassing in Seattle be the end of the Cullen clan? Can the Cullens give us enough sympathetic backstory to actually care? And most importantly, your hosts ask the question on everyone's mind; what's with Bella's hair in this movie? Find out the stirring answers to this and so much more as we crack some vampire skulls on Here's Why It's Great!

  • Here's Why It's Great - Twilight
    John and Sebastian had never given much thought to how they would die. But dying so they can review infamous movies for the listeners they love seems like a good way to go. Your hosts can't bring themselves to regret the decisions that brought them face to face with death. They also brought them to Twilight. That's right-- in this episode, two men in their mid-to-late thirties embark on a journey all the way to the Pacific Northwest to dive deep into the worldwide phenomenon, Twilight. Join your brave hosts as they take their first steps through the Twilight saga, and marvel as they laugh, cry, and definitely stare (a lot) with Edward and Bella. They may not be the key demographic for this series of films, these movies may not be meant for a pair of jaded, aging dudes, but that hasn't stopped them before. So put on your sunscreen and hop into your Audi, because we're going on a journey to Forks, Washington on Here's Why It's Great!

  • Here's Why It's Great - Buffy the Vampire Slayer w/ Lindsay Calhoon Bring

    Since the 1997 premiere of the television masterpiece Buffy the Vampire Slayer, you may have asked yourself-- "Is that old Buffy movie even worth watching?" Does the word "duh" mean anything to you? This episode, we invite special guest Lindsay Calhoon Bring (writer, Netflix's Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) to break down all the flips, all the quips, and Kristy Swanson's pouted lips as we dissect the unsung classic that is 1992's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". Joss Whedon himself scoffs at this film, to which we say "Excuse much! Rude or anything?" Grow out that soul patch, fire up your Toad the Wet Sprocket CD, and head to the mall as we give a one-armed clap for the Chosen One on Here's Why It's Great!

  • Here's Why It's Great - Howard the Duck

    Start 2019 off right with an epic dissection of the fine feathered film, Howard the Duck. In this episode, your hosts John and Sebastian take you back to a time when street toughs lurked around every corner, crimped hair was still in style, and people were not generally perturbed by a giant anthropomorphic duck skulking around CleveLand. It was a time when sex spas were all the rage, and every garage held an ultralight plane perfect for a daring escape-- and when a young filmmaker named George Lucas could do no wrong. Or could he? History tells us that this film made audiences question the Lucas golden touch, but your fearless hosts beg to differ. Strap in, because we're on a one-way trip to Duck World on Here's Why It's Great.
