Holidays got you down?  Having to work on Christmas? Well, just follow Sandy B's lead and hit the como ward looking for hotties.  That's right we watched While You Were Sleeping.  So skip out on work (A.I. is just going to start doing it anyway), pay some local punks to push your crush onto the subway tracks, and then just kinda go with it.  You'll be married and happy by National Bean Day (that's Jan 6th for all you non bean heads).  Happy Holidays!!!!!

They say he comes for us all and he muses whether this day or the next he will draw nigh. We are of course talking about the Grumpy Goose! Yup we watched Grumpy Old Men.  So batten down your earflaps, check the back seat for fishy hitchhikers and get ready for a whole fishing shed full of Minnesotaness.  Putz! Moron!

As Queen Latifah says, "Dreams become reality when we put our minds to it".  To that end, our podders put their heads together and watched Total Recall.  So bust out your best 90's future fashion, get all the squibs you can carry, and get your ass to Mars.  And remember, ain't no party like a Venusville party because a Venusville party has Quato, space drugs, and no oxygen.  See you at the party!!!!!

Double double toil and trouble, fire burn and blow out that hair!!! That's right we watched Witches of Eastwick.  So get your besties together and conjure up your dream guy.  Or save yourself some demon trouble and pour another pitcher or two of martinis and see what happens, wink wink.  They say there is no fury like a woman scorned especially if they've got big ol' 80's hair!!!  

It's spooky time y'all! So our Podders sharpened up their stakes and watched Buffy The Vampire Slayer.  So fine tune your warrior ways mastered over many lifetimes or just have your stunt double do it.  And remember that while vampires are vicious and strong as H-E-Double Hockey sticks, they're emotionally and physically vulnerable.  Like you can rip their arms right off.  Spooky Scary!!! 

As we jump back into the school year, our podders analyze the ever present battle of brains v. braun in the collegiate crucible. That's right, we watched Revenge of The Nerds.  While some of us may have gotten stuffed in a locker before the discussion begins we must remember to persevere and never stop laughing (yes, even crazy donkey laughter).  Just maybe really think about the legal and moral implications of revenge. Seriously. Neeeeeeeeeeeerds!

Do you like bikes?  Ya but do you like like bikes?  Well then throw on your bowtie because we watched Pee Wee's Big Adventure.  Remember it's all about the friends you make along the way, don't judge a book by its cover: escaped prisoners and ghosts can be an excellent option for hitchhikers, and don't look at the camera during your cameo.  Now pour a little milk out from a dirty glass for Paul Ruebens.  Bikes!!!! 

Gravity, it comes for us all.  Wait that's death.  But what if it's both!  To figure that out, our Podders stuffed themselves in some climbing harnesses and watched Cliffhanger.  So visit your high elevation museums, remember team building is important even for criminals, and belay on.  Also, why learn all those crazy climbing moves when you can just pull up leap, pull up leap, and repeat till the summit.  Rescue Rangers, Go!!!!!!!!!

We here at the Pod have World Cup Fever (the Kiwi down under Women's variant) so we watched Bend It Like Beckham.  Now lace up your boots, sign your coach up for an emergency HR class, and start doing sit-ups because regionals are right around the corner.  And don't forget to score a goal; the scout from Santa Clara will be there!!!!!! (also double check your coach is attending that class, it's really important.)

Edmund Burke once said "Those that don't know history are doomed to repeat it".  Well, history is boring so we watched Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.  So grab your crop top gym shirt, maybe a list of female historical figures, and stop looking at your step mom like that.  While we may never know if Bill and Ted formed a truly egalitarian rock based society or just a weird cult, their ethos sure is all encompassing and succinct.  Be excellent to each other and party on dudes!
