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...

The Spooky Szn tribute continues with a band well-known for their macabre and horror-oriented lyrics; Ice Nine Kills. With this being one of Jack's favorite bands, you know lore will be involved. Josh starts off as a casual. Will he end up a Psycho?

Continuing with our month-long tribute to Spooky Szn, this week we attack the Halloween film franchise just like a certain slow, plodding killer for which the films are famous. From the originals to the remakes, we take a stab at ranking them all.

This year, we are honoring Spooky Szn with FOUR WEEKS of content that celebrates what this time of year is all about. For our first week, we are looking at our favorite scenes from horror and thriller movies. What makes a scene stand out for us? Do we have any in common? Listen and find out!

With Fall in full swing, we dedicate this month's Let's Make A (Play)list) to our favorite season. Crisp, cool and sometimes spooky vibes inundate our list. Pull out your hoodies, get your PSL and breathe in that earthy air. All hail the songs of the season!

One thing this is for certain: if a film is profitable, someone is going to want to cash-in on that popularity and try to re-create that moment. That's how a lot of sequels come into being. Sometimes it works well and the follow-up becomes more popular than the original. Others fall well short of expectation. This week we are focusing on the latter. We talk about the films we think should have been one-offs and never seen that dreaded poor sequel. Warning, light ranting ahead!

In this episode, we revisit a topic we explored last season; the best of the best from YouTube. Don't worry, we decided to retire any of our nominees from our previous review of the topic, so every channel on the list is new this time around. Will this be the week that Josh finally bests Jack? ...Probably not, but it's worth a listen anyway.

Travelling by car is a staple of American life. The Road Trip is the ultimate slice of Americana. Who you travel with can make or break the adventure. This week we discuss which fictional characters we would definitely want to have on a road trip. Jack's chaotic neutral side comes out.
