August 10, 2026 Ep. 569 - Pitch Perfect 3 (2017) (w/ Nick Bombicino)

August 06, 2026 Ep. 568 - Firebringer (w/ Kevin Jeezy)
We're going way back in this one - 2016! Jon has brought Kevin back to talk about this Starkid musical that almost everyone knows by it's famous meme. But Jon and Kevin were entertained with this production and would like to see it done elsewhere.

August 03, 2026 Ep. 567 - Starstruck (1982) (w/ Shady)
We're kicking off another month of Jon's Picks with this quirky Australian musical movie that both surprised Jon and Shady! Y'all should watch it!

July 30, 2026 Ep. 566 - Ziegfeld Girl (1941) (w/ Roland Rusinek)
We're closing out MGM month with Roland - it seemed fitting to have him bookend this month because of his love of old movies. Jon is convinced this movie is the basis of Jacqueline Susann's novel The Valley of the Dolls (which it is possible), but Roland is fawning over these women (and Jon is, too)!

July 27, 2026 Ep. 565 - Take Me Out to the Ball Game (1949) (w/ Sierra Rein)
It's summer! So Jon and Sierra decide to go to a ball game...in 190-something. Whilst there, they watch Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, and Jules Munshin a few months before On the Town be the best part of this team. And Esther Williams basically dips her toe in a puddle.

July 23, 2026 Ep. 564 - Good News (1947) (w/ Aaron Choi)
Y'all. This one was super mid. And Jon and Aaron are over it. But there were some high points in the movie that they enjoyed, but not enough...

July 20, 2026 Ep. 563 - Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968) (w/ Danielle Brown and Christopher Brown)
Although it was not originally an MGM movie, it technically is one now so Jon decided to bend the rules of his own podcast (shocker) and added this into MGM month. Joined by Danielle and Chris, only one of this trio has seen this movie before and they all agree it is insane and very horny.

July 16, 2026 Ep. 562 - Lovely to Look At (1952) (w/ Lauren Gismondi)
Lauren's here to celebrate MGM month with an all star cast and beautiful gowns. Loosely based on a book-turned-musical-turned-RKO-musical-movie, this version has a lot of beautiful images and fun musical numbers that come out of nowhere.

July 13, 2026 Ep. 561 - Bathing Beauty (1944) (w/ Colden Lamb)
Colden brought Esther Williams to the pod! He and Jon get into this movie that is filled with cameos that makes Jon wonder if this was a movie for the troops a la a USO show. Also, why is it called Bathing Beauty?

July 09, 2026 Ep. 560 - Kismet (1955) (w/ Arianna Armon)
We're not mad, just disappointed. Jon and Arianna head to a magical time via MGM studio sets where things are just fine, even though one of the directors checked out of this project. But there's Howard Keel.
