Back from the summer off, The Jerks check in with each other and ask, "What are you watching right now?.... and how?" In a time where our viewing habits, as a society, are changing, we try to identify some emerging trends and explore where we find ourselves amongst them.

In this episode the Jerks explore how influential MTV was to us as kids growing up in the 90's.

Phil and Tim discuss movies depicting mankind's struggle to weather harrowing situations provided by the natural world (outside human influence). The Jerks also touch on some personal experiences they, themselves, have had in the wilderness and the different obstacles they have faced when traversing the wild. For all you mega fans, there's some bonus content after the exit music!

Does it throw you off when a story's core character is re-casted with a different actor for the sequel? Us too! The Jerks explore their feelings around the re-casting of 'sequel substitutes' and replacements. Some replacements completely remove us from the experience, some are acknowledged and explained in the story (which we like) and others we've come to accept as a part of franchised film culture.

In this Father's Day special, The Jerks take the time to recognize the low bar set by many of the "Bad Dads" portrayed in film and TV! 

No Strings Attached in this episode... things get dicey when Tim wants to discuss the "Boy Band Craze" that he and Phil grew up around when they run into a road block... they can't agree on what the term "Boy Band" actually means! The Jerks present their passionate perspectives on what a Boy Band is to them and explore the roots and rolls they have in pop culture. We reflect on the days of *NSYNC vs. Backstreet Boys and of course talk all time Boy Band Bangers!

SPORTS! Phil's area of expertise and loyalties are put to the test when asked to choose between the "all-time greats" in sports. Tune in to see if Tim can get Phil to break a bias!

Phil has Tim in the hot seat! In this episode The Jerks play "Over/Under", a game where Phil gives Tim a number (higher or lower than the actual) referring to a Hollywood stat and Tim has to make an informed decision to answer Over or Under the number Phil's provided! Play along with us and let us know how you did!

In this episode, The Jerks compare heavily stacked movie casts and "weigh" the celebrity pull from each group to determine which cast collectively has more pull in Hollywood. We use a 5 to 9 structure, with the first round of the game comparing movies with 5 major actors, the next round, movies with 6 major actors, 7 actors, 8, 9... you get the idea! From there the boys discuss over-stacked casts and whether stacking a cast is solely a sell out move.
