LoFiTop5

While nobody can hear our podcast (or scream) in space, this week’s episode covers your hosts’ Top 5 Movies Set in Space. In a little “twist”, Jeremy avoids the entire Star Wars, Star Trek, *AND* Marvel Cinematic Universe for his picks so is forced to pick some other excellent movies. JT on the other hand has no such boundaries, and definitely gets some of the best of the best in his selections. As always the hosts play the “5 words as clues” guessing game to figure out each other's entries. So whether we’re getting people to the moon, or back from the moon, or never quite making it to the moon, we’re definitely going to need a better combination on the luggage after our fantastic voyage. Also, a special surprise guest joins the boys for a quick drop-in entry along the way!

What says "Summer Movie" like an epic battle scene? Nothing. The answer is nothing. And so this week, that's exactly what Jeremy and JT dive into. Both Jeremy and JT thought they had the other ones list pretty pegged walking into this, and somehow they were both right, and wrong. JT plants an anchor as a millennial, man, while Jeremy's Gen-X heart is bravely on display. So climb down from your Towers, Assemble 300 of your friends, and make sure you are somewhere that's all quiet, and enjoy this week's LoFi Top 5!

Whether its sending drillers into outer space to blow up rocks or using computer viruses to destroy aliens, there’s a lot of ways America gets represented in film. In this episode, your hosts consider their Top 5 Most ’Murican Movies. They don’t think it’ll take a Miracle to figure out some of their picks, you should be neither Dazed nor Confused when listening to this episode, it’s your Garden (state) variety of podcasts.

As always, episodes are hosted by JT and Jeremy, your Millenial and GenX film devotees, as they explore their love of movies and pop culture, and compare the generational experiences of their favorites. Welcome back to the LoFiTop5 after our brief summer break, and just remember - on the boats, and on the planes, they’re coming to ’Merica.

As maligned as sequels are, every now and then they get them - and then a third part - right. For every Hangover 3 and Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift, there’s an X-Men 3: The Last Stand or Alien 3. Er, wait, no - there are some good ones too, right? Spider-man 3? OK OK well, check out this week’s episode of the LoFi Top5 where JT and Jeremy reveal 5 of the greatest part 3’s in movie trilogies. Well, mostly just trilogies, but a few other series somehow make their way in the list, but we collectively ignore things like surviving a nuclear explosion in a fridge.

Your hosts are back this week, ready to talk about the actors and actresses they wish were back in Hollywood with the “career resurgence” episode! We’re talking child actors who never made it through the awkward stage, A-list celebrities who somehow lost their limelight, and some folks who may have gotten a little typecast along the way. Also some fun comparisons between Jeremy’s heroes of the 80s and JT’s best of the 90s crop. Kicking off year 2 of the podcast with a very fun episode!

While Jeremy is on vacation, the reigns are off and for JT it's "All Eyes On Me". Without his buddy, he is doing something completely new, much like the Bo Burnham special he discusses. Whether this is your "Welcome to the Internet" or you're just looking for info on "How the World Works", this episode is sure to be better than a "White girls Instagram". So hang up your "Facetime with Mom" and get ready for to have "That Funny Feeling" again, it's LoFi time!!!

As we hit the “52 weeks of Top 5 Lists” mark, we’ve decided to revisit or “reboot” the first episode we ever did - the “Most Rewatchable Movies” list. This time around both JT and Jeremy discuss some of their picks from last year and compare which have made the list again for 2021. We also address the origins of “the Shawshank”, have a long discussion about what we both consider the most rewatchable teen movie, and dive just a bit deeper into some classic 80s-era comedies. Jeremy makes some bold statements about 2000’s spy movies and 1900’s actions movies, and we both share a moment on the impact of a certain 70’s era movie about bicycling and quarries. Thanks for being with us this year, and don’t forget to find us on Twitter and Instagram as the @lofitop5!

For some people, roughing it means an hour without their phone, for others, it's having your FedEx plane crash near some unknown island and having sports equipment as your best friend. This week’s episode reminds us how far one can go on an all-potato diet and has us question if Goofy is or isn’t a dog. Also get some great perspectives on the difference between some classic coming-of-age movies rolled out for millennials vs gen-x’ers, plus a nice little shout-out to one of our favorite films from the late Charles Grodin.

This episode has your hosts picking their Top 5 picks (so far) from their Top5 podcast! It’s a little meta, maybe a tad self-indulgent, but hey, we’ve picked almost 250 movies this past year - each - and we wanted to take a moment to reflect on our choices. Did Jeremy’s love for Amadeus, The Lord of the Rings, or Xanadu make the cut? How about some of JT’s favorites like Inside/Out, Elf, and 500 Days of Summer? Did the “Best Onscreen Duos” episode land a nod, or was “Top 5 Movies Over 2.5 Hours Long” a clear winner? Find out in our best of the best (of the best?) episode!

There’s not a person in the business of show who isn’t familiar with the name George Lucas. Beyond the obvious - Star Wars - his contributions to cinema are legendary. In this episode, Jeremy and JT use all their midichlorians to identify the Top 5 George Lucas Creations. And this time around, it’s not just movies, our extended universe of Lucasisms goes pretty deep (we use all the midichlorians for this one!). In addition to the flicks, we explore gaming, technology, TV, and one very, very deep… note. Wesa think yousa should check it out!
