Less Than 2000

'Tis the season, so Adam and Chad answer the age-old question "is Die Hard a Christmas movie?” Instead of concluding the season with stuffing-filled turkey like in years past, this time the dudes wrap it up with milk n cookies… because Chad’s basement studio flooded. Happy Holidays right?

This unfortunate incident leads to an unexpected win: a discussion about everyman John McClain  (Bruce Willis) hiding in a building with bloody bare feet and a machine gun f^*king up bad guys in epic fashion.  

 Adam & Chad then answer the burning question "will there be a season 5 of Less Than 2000?" or will they say happy trails and ride off into the sunset?

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Yippy Ki-Yay, MFers!

Devasting news about Matthew Perry, best known as Chandler from the ultimate 90’s sitcom, Friends.  After thoroughly analyzing the good and bad of the show, including Jennifer Aniston and her hairdo “The Rachel,” Courtney Cox as ho-hum Monica, Lisa Kudrow as space cadet Phoebe, Matt LeBlanc as dumb-but-hot Joey, and David Schwimmer as frustratingly hopeless Ross, Adam and Chad pay tribute to the fallen God of Comedy, Matthew Perry.

Adam and Chad try to definitely decide which of the most popular "hood movies" of the early 90's is the best. These films were hugely important to young Adam and Chad, and they want to know if they were right for loving them back in the day, and if their opinion has changed over the years. 

On the surface, both films are very similar. But "under the hood," there are a lot of major differences. What movie is better in your opinion? Who plays the better gangsta: Ice Cube as Doughboy or Larenz Tate as O-Dog?

*SPOILER WARNING: FULL SPOILERS FOR BOTH FILMS**

Wayne's World was only the second SNL movie and the first one since Blues Brothers.  Mike Myers and Lorne Michaels had a lot riding on this one.  Fortunately, Wayne's World was an unparalleled success and launched an era of movies based on SNL sketches.  

But was Wayne's World actually any good?  Adam and Chad absolutely loved it growing up and quoted it constantly.  It shaped them as young preteens.  But they haven't watched it since they were kids... what do jaded 40 something Adam and Chad think?

We bring you Michael Mann’s 1995 masterpiece, Heat. Al Pacino and Robert De Niro face off for the first time on the silver screen, supported by a sick supporting cast featuring Tom Sizemore, Jon Voight, Amy Brenneman, Ashley Judd, and Val Kilmer. Oh, and the most perfect gun fight ever put on film.

But you really want to hear the story about Adam meeting Ton Loc in 2016 and cringingly asking him about working with Al Pacino in Heat.

Well, it took us four seasons and 118 episodes before we put one out without a super focused topic.  This week we ask the question, “what’s something you loved as a kid that you’re embarrassed by as an adult?”  What shows, toys, fashion trends, and music makes your present adult-self cringe that your past child-self loved?  Help us answer that question by chiming in on Facebook or Instagram, and help us determine what the actual show topic and title is!

Adam and Chad geek out on Quentin Tarantino’s finest achievement, the 1994 masterpiece Pulp Fiction, and ask the question “how did a movie this good become so widely popular with audiences and critics?”

The movie that made Samuel L. Jackson and Uma Thurman superstars, recontextualized Bruce Willis, and completely revived John Travolta’s career.  Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Ving Rhames, Eric Stoltz, and Christopher Walken all provide some of their most memorable performances.

In this episode we go deep inside Chad and probe his deepest, darkest teenage feelings to discover exactly what spoke to him the most about the ultimate 90s Grunge band, Nirvana. Smells Like Teen Spirit changed music and culture forever, and Unplugged made us actually feel something.

One of the most important films of the century: The Matrix (1999).  Did it revolutionize or ruin cinema for the next ten years?

Starring Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, and 
Hugo Weaving, and written and directed by the Wachowskis, it’s either a timeless classic or a dated cliché. What pill are you 
taking?
