It's finally springtime, so of course Jon and Shady decided to discuss the Internet's favorite Christmas movies - Die Hard and Die Hard 2, which may or may not be officially subtitled Die Harder. Jon revels in his love for cheesy action flicks of the directed-by-Renny-Harlin variety, while Shady once again gets a chance to overanalyze some very straightforward themes! But outside of featuring the early adventures of cowboy cop John McClane, do these movies actually have all that much in common? Even special guest Molly (Jon's parents' adorable dog) has to share her thoughts on the matter!

Hey hey, faithful listeners! After an extended break, Jon and Shady reunite to compare notes from the American Ballet Academy and Camp Ovation, which you may recognize as the settings for turn-of-the-millennium era theatre kid classics Center Stage and Camp! Will our plucky heroes find freedom and acceptance on the road to artistic glory? Or will heartbreak, bruised egos, and rejection stand in their way? More importantly, will Jon and Shady manage to shoehorn in every single memorable quote from these movies without forgetting how this whole podcasting thing works?

Happy Holidays you filthy animals!  Jon and Shady explore three out of the six Home Alone movies and ask the question: How are these kids being left home in Chicago and their parents don't know?  Delving into the classic Home Alone, Jon can't wrap his head around Home Alone 2: Lost in New York and Home Sweet Home Alone, and Shady kind of plays devil's advocate with the latter by praising them trying their hardest.  The two also huffed some of that Christmas cheer that's in Hallmark movies to get through this episode.

Next week: ...we're still figuring this out, stay tuned...

We're doing the sequels, y'all!  Apparently the critics hated these movies but Jon tries to defend them, even though yes, they are bad.  Shady tried so hard to compare them with some gusto, but they are so far apart that they made the Boyhood/Lady Bird episode look good.  Also, does anyone actually read these?  Jon tries to make them funny, but he needs some interaction with the listeners.  So let us know we're doing a great job.  Does anyone want to sponsor us?  What am I talking about?  Oh right - Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 vs. The Gallows Act II.  Yeah...have fun with this episode.

EPISODE 50 EVERYONE!!  We wanted to celebrate this milestone by doing something a little different: we focused on three of the bajillion movie versions of Louisa May Alcott's famous pseudo-autobiographical novel Little Women.  This was Jon's first exposure to this, and Shady was overjoyed that Jon got to experience this story.  And seriously: don't watch the modern day version - Jo's a monster.

Jon and Shady explore two first person perspective movies where one walked so that it opened the door for others.  Will they survive being hunted by the Blair Witch and the Hangman?  Is Jon okay?  Why is Shady so awesome?

In today's episode Jon lost his damn mind while watching these movies, so he had to talk about them.  Shady agreed and they explore worlds where an alien comet lands on Earth and manipulates the surround area it landed.  Things get weird, and a little scary, but Jon and Shady pulled through Annihilation and Color Out of Space unharmed though slightly traumatized, or are they doppelgängers?

Sorry for the delay, but it was worth it!  Jon and Shady travel through time to talk about the dark history of the Fear Street movies - how the witch came to be.  Fear Street, Part 3: 1666 is heavily inspired by Hereditary and The Witch, and we list how in the episode!  Don't want to spoil it here; so listen! Did you like this?  Should we do another movie series like this?  Leave us a comment - the socials are below!

Next week: Annihilation vs. Color Out of Space!

Welcome to CAMP!  Well, not camp as in over-the-top, but camp as in you're gonna die by a masked killer.  Jon and Shady traverse the horror subgenre of slasher movies taking place at a summer camp, while obsessing over the Fear Street trilogy.  They discuss the final girls, add another puzzle piece to their Fear Street watch, and are blown away at the amount of similarities between these two movies.

Next week: Fear Street - Part 3: 1666 vs. The Witch vs. Hereditary!

Netflix graced us with some pretty awesome horror movies that Shady wanted to talk about because they are very referential to other movies.  In part one of their Fear Street saga, Jon and Shady travel back to 1994, the time of AOL chat rooms, beepers, phones with extra long cords, and a curse on Shadyside, Shady's town that she 100% owns.  Using Scream as the one-to-one comparison, does Fear Street follow the '90s horror tropes?
