It's been a pandemic of a year and if you're like most, you've spent a good portion of it indoors looking for something to stream online. We at High Five: The Podcast feel the same way and since we're your dedicated sherpas to the world of TV and film, we're dedicating TWO WHOLE EPISODES to the TV that is worth your time to binge. J, Mia, and Q are settling in for some brain-rotting fun to figure out the Top 5 Bingeworthy TV Shows of All Time!

We learn a lot about each other and decide which Wonder Years characters we would all be. Trust us, there's a lot of TV out there to watch and you don't have the time to watch it all. That's where we come in. So strap in, log on, and starting binging on the best TV out there.

We're finally doing an episode about the films of Christopher Nolan. It's about time! And so are his movies! Zing! Do you know what it's also time for? It's about time that Q, J, and Mia invited their friend, comedian, and film lover, Cortney Warner to the show. Trust us, when Mia, J, Cortney, and Q get talking about Christopher Nolan, nothing can stop them!

Are you more of an "old school" Nolan-head and love his films like Memento and The Prestige or do you gravitate backward through time towards his action movies like Inception or Tenet? Whatever your flavor, stop in and hang out with some nerd talking about Christopher Nolan movies!

Behind every strong hero is an even stronger, usually adopted or unnaturally put in harm's way, sidekick! These pop culture protectors are always playing second fiddle to their more super heroes, so Q, J, and Mia decided it was time to give Sidekicks the spotlight for a bit and figure out the Top 5 Sidekicks in Pop Culture! Most of them become heroes eventually themselves, so let's be nice!

Whether you're donning brightly-colored spandex for stealth missions, or helping traverse jewelry to a volcano, sidekicks can many times be the single reason a mission fails or succeeds. The gang pretty much all want to be the Sidekick of the group and there may or may not be a fight to the death. You'll have to listen to find out!

You know him. You love him. He's danced, sang, and clawed his way into our collective hearts, and on this episode, Mia, Q, and J want to do nothing but subsist on the movie candy that is Hugh Jackman! From his breakthrough performance as Wolverine to help establish superhero movies as a viable franchise type, to his live-action recording of Les Misérables, up to his career-defining turn wearing prosthetic testicles on his face! Is there nothing he can't do? We're going to find out when we rank the Top 5 Hugh Jackman Movies of All Time!

It's not all talk about Hugh Jackman, though. We also talk about actors that aren't as good as Hugh Jackman and movies that are similar to The Prestige but didn't star Hugh Jackman. But ultimately, if you don't like Hugh Jackman or Hugh Jackman movies, this episode about Hugh Jackman may not be for Hugh.

Get ready because J, Mia, and Q get together to talk about the Top 5 Government Overthrow Movies in honor of all the morons who tried that in early 2021. Do people not watch movies? Coups are hard to pull off, which is made evident by how many movies there are about failed ones!

In this episode, the gang dives into the headlines, but only momentarily, because it's way more fun to talk about Hunger Games, graphic novels, and cinema classics that show stories of governments toppling and fascist regimes getting their comeuppances. We also start a rally to #TakeBacktheLetterQ and all contemplate shaving our heads for the cause.

It's a debate as old as time, well, rather a debate as old as the early 90s when dueling video game systems competed in the market. Mia, our resident gamer, and her humble cohorts, J and Q, dive into a discussion that goes through every platform, every console, and damn near every SEGA iteration, to finally land our Top 5 Video Game Consoles of All Time list!

Whether we're talking about Q's weird, irrational hatred of Mario, or J's obsession with little-known adventure games, you can bet that Mia is there to keep everyone in line. Find out which consoles blew our minds and which ones changed our lives on this episode of High Five: The Podcast!

Certain movies remind us what it's like to be a child. You have your Toy Stories and your American Tailses that always hold special places in our hearts, but then you have those other movies. The ones you only realize over time that, although you may have watched this as a child, it was only waiting like a sleeper cell for you to be an adult to reveal it's TRUE meanings. Q, Mia, and J look deep inside and confront their inner children and find the Top 5 Kids Movies That Are Secretly For Adults.

This is deeper than cartoons that make poop jokes, we're looking for adult themes in movies with animated rabbits, robotic goliaths with human hearts, pretty much anything made by Pixar. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll call your parents and ask them for a movie night with your friends. Join us for this long-awaited sleepover!

No matter if you're starting a company with your college yuppie friends, or trying to stop mankind from slaughtering your people for their mutant powers, friendships are hard. In the happiest of movies, friendships endure, but some of the most compelling stories are actually about friendships falling apart. J, Mia, and Q climb aboard their friend-ship and hit the acquaintan-Seas to identify the Top 5 Friends Turned Enemies in movies.

Along the way, our relationships are tested, assumptions are scrutinized, and we talk a lot about Jesus for some reason. There's magic, computers, pistols, backstabs, and mechanic bodysuits all in this one episode. What are you waiting for, grab your friends (soon to be enemies) and listen!

Welcome to both the beginning of a new year and the end of our 2020 HighFiveMas Spectacular! We're ending with a bang and sparkle as we look into the future to dream about the movies we can't wait to see in the new year. From 2020 delays to Marvel mysteries, Mia, J, and Q travel from the times of Arthur to the streets of New Jersey, all the way to the spice mines of deep space. All culminating in our Top 5 Most Anticipated Movies of 2021 lists!

It's not all fun and games...well, yes it is, but we also delve into our thoughts on the upcoming Streaming/Theater Wars of 2021 and try to figure out what all the fuss was about when it came to Wonder Woman 1984. Start your new year off right - with your three best friends talking about a hopeful future!
