Ahoy hoy and Happy Birthday America! It is July 4th weekend, and what better way to show American pride than commentating on almost 4 hours of Magic Mike and Magic Mike XXL.

In Magic Mike, Troy is joined by Griffin to talk about the 2012 hit.  The boyz of pod discuss the magic of Channing Tatum, Soderbergh as director, and the beginning of the McConaissance. Come for the bad McConaughey impression, stay for the friendship.

In Magic Mike XXL, Troy takes the solo plunge as commentator and discusses why sometimes sequels are better, Channing Tatum as our modern Gene Kelly, and sex positivity.

It's XXL baby, and that's how we like it. Watch it with the film or listen solo, there are no rules. Magic Mike starts at 4:51. Magic Mike XXL starts at 1:56:00.

* I, Troy, falsely identify the choreographer of Magic Mike to be American bluegrass icon Alison Kraus,  not Alison Faulk. I looked at the name about 500 times, and then like all tests I've ever taken, forgot everything. Alison Faulk, thank you for your talent. Let's get a spaghetti dinner on me. *
