On the new Jagbags, Beave and Len go through their favorite songs that somehow either languished on the Billboard charts, or remained a deep cut stashed away somewhere on an obscure album. If you've ever loved a song, and wondered how the heck it didn't dominate radio and become a #1 hit, this podcast is for you! What are some of your favorite songs that went nowhere commerically? Tell us in the comments!

Len and Beave scratch their heads at Robert Christgau's A+ grade for the 1976 album "Have Moicy". But he is the Dean of American music critics, so he just knows more, right? Plus "I Recommend", Len reads the New Yorker and provides his insights, Beave reviews the new Beach Bunny LP, undiscovered Top 40 hits (it's a bit of a desert right now), and all the Chicago/Cleveland/Knicks mockery sports talk you can handle! Tune in now.

Len and Beave go through the career and films of Demi Moore, who shockingly lost Best Actress earlier this year for her performance in "The Substance". What were her best performances? Is she in fact a good actress? What is the key to her appeal? What movies are among her best? Has anyone seen "Wisdom", "Forsaken", or "Wild Oats"? Is "Striptease" a good movie? (Beave will defend that one to the death) And of course, has St. Elmo's Fire aged for the better or worse since its premiere 40 years ago? Tune in!

And Len talks New Yorker as well. Tune in!

Who can challenge Paige Bueckers for Rookie of the Year? AND HOW FAR WILL THE GOLDEN STATE VALKYRIES RISE this season? Tune in for all these answers.

The legendary Jill Oliver comes back to Jagbags to talk Jim Carrey movies, best characters, and discuss the secret of his appeal and his comedy success.

Plus we talk our favorite Carrey movies and performances, our most underrated as well as the Carrey movies we liked the least. Outside of Ace Ventura, what do you consider his best performance?
