It Was Mooney!

On this episode, we are paying respects to the ultimate “Meat Head”, Rob Reiner. In his illustrious career, he has directed classic films such as The Princess Bride and This is Spinal Tap. He also had a recurring role on the landmark sitcom All in the Family, playing Mike “Meat Head” Stivic. We’re looking back on the man behind the magic and the legacy he leaves behind. Also, the current United States president had some thoughts (midnight ramblings) about his passing. We will cover what was said and more! So join us, all you 6-fingered men, and prepare to die as we remember a beloved icon on It Was Mooney!

On this episode, we ended the year of our lord 2025 with a journey back to our favorite little blue Maguffin of a planet, Pandora, in James Cameron's 3rd entry in the Avatar series. We really blue it on with this one as we are joined in the studio by Cousin Chris! Join us! Naavi, Sky People, and unproblematic Earth people alike, as we once again give this mad scientist our money on It Was Mooney!

On this latest installment of Mooney's Musings, we ask the question: What exactly IS freedom of speech? This inalienable right is one that's held dear in this country and truly separates us from other places where citizens can't freely exercise that right. But what does it mean to exercise that right in this day and age? Can one be held responsible for how their words affect others? How does each of us define this? We will get into these questions and more as we're breaking out all the frozen peaches here for your listening pleasure on Mooney's Musings!

On this episode, we are discussing the 2025 horror film Weapons, the sophomore film from director Zach Cregger. After he made a splash in the genre with 2022’s Barbarian, the whitest kid we know turned horror auteur is out to terrify us once again with the scariest movie monster to date: an uninvited in-law. We'll discuss our thoughts, what we loved/didn’t love about it, and its place in the landscape of modern-day horror. So join us and friend of the show Drew, as we look back on our wild weekend with Aunt Gladys on the latest installment of It Was Mooney!

On this episode, we return to the bloody, action-packed yet surprisingly heartfelt world of Chris Smith, aka Peacemaker in his sophomore season. The 11th Street Kids are back as they tackle depression, toxic masculinity, break-ups and their most formidable opponent: a major studio's attempt at yet another multiverse story. How do we think showrunner James Gunn did to flesh out this new universe? Are we excited for what comes next? Was the opening intro as much of an unskippable banger as its predecessor? (no, but it definitely grows on you) We will get into it on this mini episode of It Was Mooney!

“On this episode, we’re taking things in a different direction as we get heady with my cohost JuanyB. Numbers. For as long as we've been around, we have used them to measure and quantify things in the world around us. Numbers help us make sense of the reality in which we inhabit. This idea, called “Numericism”, posits that society’s over-reliance on numbers and stats can lead to those same numbers and stats being manipulated and used for ulterior motives. It’s an out-of-the-box concept, and thankfully, JuanyB has it all figured out. In this episode, we’ll begin to unpack what this concept is and its occurrence in many facets of life from government to sports. So join us as we get heady and a little drunk as we explore the depths of my cohost’s mind in a new series we like to call Mooney’s Musings.”

On this episode, we’re taking things in a different direction as we get heady with my cohost JuanyB. Numbers. For as long as we've been around, we have used them to measure and quantify things in the world around us. Numbers help us make sense of the reality in which we inhabit. However, those same numbers are often manipulated and used for ulterior motives, and JuanyB has it all figured out. I had a bunch of questions and he had a crap ton of answers as he and I dove into this concept of numericism and its occurrence in many facets of life, from government to sports. So join us as we get heady and a little drunk as we explore the depths of my cohost’s mind in a new series we call Mooney’s Mindbenders

On this episode, Mooney is turning 50….episodes old that is and what better way to spend it roasting our favorite slightly Canadian politician, Donald J. (the “J” is short for Jack in the Box) Trump. South Park premiered their 27th season with a bang as they poked fun at our current political climate, religion, and much more, with the big Orange Crush himself being front and center. So join us on another totally non-partisan episode as we raise a “pinky-fingered” toast to the person who made this special evening possible: Here’s to you Stormy.

On this episode, things are looking up as we saw Superman (2025), writer and director (and universe architect) James Gunn’s debut movie in the DC Universe. We’re moving faster than a speeding bullet to give yall our thoughts, fan favorite moments, and criticism of this feel good summer blockbuster. So join us as we get all warm and fuzzy with the bestest boy from Krypton…oh yeah, and Superman too, on this latest issue of It Was Mooney! Live from the Hall of Justice!

On this episode, we return from a much-needed summer break to discuss the now-complete NBA season. Huge props to the Oklahoma City Thunder for bringing home the hardware for the first time in franchise history, but we're looking to the future as we also discuss intriguing trades that look to knock off the champs. So join us on this wild day of trades and heartbreaks as we look back on a truly unbelievable season of basketball on the newest installment of It Was Mooney!
