Let’s Make A List!!

Season two is in the books! If you haven't listened to every episode yet, this week will let you know the top ten we think you should give a listen to. We also give a preview of some of the topics we will be covering in 2025.

Happy New Year, everyone. See you next week when we start season three!

Every year, Spotify gives us the gift of seeing what we've listened to the most every year. This week, we take the top songs on our individual top 100 playlists, and combine them together for this season's last Let's Make A (Play)List. This list is guaranteed to have a lot of bangers and to definitely be all over the place.

Many actors have played the role of Ol' Saint Nick over the years. Some are iconic, others, not so much. This week, we look at our favorite Santa's from both television and film. With the both of us involved, you can be sure our personal flair will be thrown in for good measure.

Holiday films are great and all, but what should you watch when it's "the most wonderful time of the year" and you aren't feeling the usual fare? This week we talk about the films we associate with Christmas and the holidays that have limited or no tie to the season, but fit right in.

HAPPY FIFTIETH EPISODE OF SEASON TWO TO US!

Can you believe it's already December? Since it's the holiday season, we are giving you two-for-one (play)lists this month! Starting it off right, we skip all of the well-known commercial and traditional Christmas songs, and hit you with some that you probably haven't heard before. With Josh and Jack making selections, you know it will be eclectic, irreverent, and everything in between.

Sometimes the theme makes the show. This week we discuss our favorite theme songs from episodic television. This is definitely something we will revisit in the future as it was a VERY DIFFICULT EXERCISE to only pick five songs to represent our choices.

We spend a lot of time on this podcast talking about films with a PG-13 rating or above, but what about those with a more accessible rating? This week, we discuss what we believe to be the best animated films for the family to sit down and watch together. One franchise *may* end up with more than one entry on our combined list...but if that's the case, you know it's probably worth it!

This week we are discussing the roles for which some actors are best known...their most iconic, if you will. What makes a role define an actor? What makes an actor define a role? We talk through this and give examples of some of our favorites. Jack champions the horror genre, and the rankings get heated and contested!

As we close-out our month-long celebration of Spooky Szn, we look at a topic we haven't tackled since our first episode: villains. This time, we focus on those from the horror genre specifically, and pick-out the ones that scare us the most. There's a surprise entrant on Josh's list, and in a rarity, both Jack and Josh agree on the number one choice...
