Let’s Make A List!!

This week, we introduce a new topic and answer the question, "what would happen if character X battled character Y?" We look at thirty-three characters from the Star Wars franchise and pit them randomly against each other. Who will come out on top? Thanks for listening!

In episode II of our Star Wars retrospective, we look at all full length feature films in the franchise and, using our "Make Your Own Rushmore" format, create the definitive top four must-see films in the franchise. Jack and Josh attack their personal lists in different ways but find solidarity the likes of which have yet to be seen. Thanks for listening!

In honor May the 4th, we will be spending this month looking at all things Star Wars. We start off in style talking about our favorite characters that lived long ago in a galaxy far away. Mixed in with the basic takes are some fairly deep cuts. Don't head to Tosche Station to get power converters until you've heard our top ten. Thanks for listening!

We latch onto certain musical groups early on in life and they end up sticking with us for the long haul. That is the best way to describe Josh's relationship with the hip-hop act, A Tribe Called Quest. In this month's (Play)List, Jack and Josh pay homage to one of Josh's all-time favorites. The question will be asked; are we on point? The answer is obviously, "all the time." The E on this episode is for lyrical content. A link to the playlist is below. Thanks for listening!

It's been a while since we've done an Assemble Your Crew. In light of all of the excitement surrounding the Minecraft movie, this week we ask the question: who are five characters from fiction or real life that you would want to take to see the film. This promises to be one of our silliest episodes to date! Thanks for listening!

In honor of the the Minecraft film phenomenon and the positive reactions it's receiving, this week, we look at what we believe are the films and television shows based on video games that completely miss the mark. Jack has one on his list that is a bit of a surprise... Thanks for listening!

In our second installment of "Make Your Own Rushmore", we contemplate the best heroes from the world of video games. After presenting our own personal rankings, we work to create a combined Mount Rushmore of the best and most iconic good guys from the world of pixels and polygons. Our number one may surprise you...

Special effects. Plot. Casting. Soundtracks. This week we close our March Madness '25 by taking each of the topics discussed this month and ranking them based on which plays the biggest role. Who will be the victor of our first ever Final Four?

As we continue our March Madness question: "what makes a great film?", we round out our Final Four this week with the final competitor: the soundtrack. Since we have already done a LMAPL of our favorite soundtracks, we switch-it-up a little and focus on songs playing during the opening or closing credits of a film that really "set the tone". There is a week to our playlist below. Thanks for listening!

With half of the field accounted for, this week we introduce competitor number three for our March Madness '25 question, "What makes a great film?", the cast and subsequent casting. Per usual, we both have different ideas about what really sets a cast apart from the competition. Jack tends to lean more toward the cast as written while Josh focuses more on the actors chosen to play the part. Josh goes for two wins in a row...
