No Highway Option episodes:

September 05, 2023 AMADEUS: Fun with Sound Boards! (With JT Holtaway)
It's an 8 time Academy Award Winning film including Best Picture, so this week we're no-nonsense, all class, and definitely totally focused the entire time.

JT HOLTAWAY bursts into the room to listen to the boys recount their battles with a young composer who was sent to torture them by God, or something. Or would it be a young rival podcaster? Do any podcasts want to start Salieri/Mozart beef with us to up listenership? DM us to let us know. Anyway, this week's movie is the critically acclaimed director's cut of AMADEUS.

Join them as they answer such questions as: What are the best parts of this movie? Would we have liked this movie as much if there were less boobies? What's the first name of Connor and JT's middle school band teacher? What director is the annoying laugh totally based on? and Can we name some of the hot new sports that are popping up on the sports betting scene? among many others...
JT isn't active online right now but y'all should keep on rocking in the free world!

August 29, 2023 SON OF THE MASK: Sssssomebody Stop This! (with Nick Cherry)
It's Son of the Mask but it's not like it's Son of THE Mask even though it's definitely THE Mask but Jim Carrey's not here so think of it as just The Mask not THE Mask also there's a dog.

NICK CHERRY travels 200 Miles Outside of Edge City to visit the boys in their far too brightly colored house and help them babysit an Uncanny Valley hellspawn while talking about SON OF THE MASK. It's another two against one episode as one of them tries to defend the picture at least a little bit, while the others just tear it to shreds.

Join them as they answer such questions as: Does Connor still have nightmares about this movie? How does this compare to the original Mask? Is Steven Wright a welcome presence in this? What's the gross deleted scene from this movie? Is this a worthwhile Chuck Jones tribute? and Do we think Jamie Kennedy is right about the director's cut of this being better? among many others...
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIALS FOR THIS EPISODE:
The Deleted Scene we watch mid-episode
Jamie Kennedy's Son of the Mask Saga
The trailer for Cats & Dogs

....Listen to more of our show! Nick didn't have anything to plug!

August 22, 2023 THE MATRIX: An Open Plea to Richard Ayoade (with Kory Louko)
You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. You take the pale yellow Corona-colored pill - you listen to an episode of No Highway Option talking about one of the most legendary Sci-Fi movies of all time.
Weird choice, if you take the podcast pill.

KORY LOUKO returns (and you can actually hear her the whole time this time!) to join the boys in their back-to-back Wachowski weeks and discuss 1999's THE MATRIX! It's our second time journeying into The Matrix, technically, but our first time spending an entire movie there. Can YOU remember which movie we covered first?

Join them as they answer such questions as: Are the WGA and SAG Strikes resolved yet? (As of this writing: not yet. Pay your writers and actors!!!) How deep are the Wachowskis' stories? Has this movie's CGI aged well? Are there different reads on this movie now that both directors have transitioned? Which pill would we take? and Why did so many kids movies and TV parody this R-Rated movie? among many others...

Follow Kory on INSTAGRAM and watch MAN VS. VIBRATOR!

August 15, 2023 CLOUD ATLAS: Talking the Tru-Tru (with Kendell Sweeney-Thomas)
Our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb we are bound to Vin Diesel, past and present, and by each Riddick and every Fast & Furious, we birth our No Highway Option.

KENDELL SWEENEY-THOMAS tells a tale to the boys of past lives, connected souls, and unfortunately problematic makeup. That's right, the boys are diving into CLOUD ATLAS, the Wachowski's 2012 sci-fi epic featuring what has become our favorite first episode of the batch pastime, Tom Hanks going too hard on an accent. With more than one accent!

Join them as they answer such questions as: What were our past lives like? Are Guy Fawkes and Guy Fieri the same guy? Is Love always the answer? Is liking short movies a fad or are there real reasons for it? and What indeed is the tru tru? among many others...

Be sure to follow Kendell on Spotify to discover some new music, and listen to NWS WERTHY!

August 01, 2023 THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN: PART TWO: The End of an Era (with Brandon Tanczak)
We've got one last chapter, then it's time to close the book on THE TWILIGHT SAGA... until that TV series starts? We shall see.

BRANDON TANCZAK is recruited by the boys to join them in the ultimate fight against Michael Sheen hamming it up and Dakota Fanning burning babies. That's right, it's time for THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN: PART TWO! And we promise, it's not a long extended fakeout episode featuring the shocking deaths of each host.

That would have been a good bit, though. Do we have time to re-record?

Join them as they answer such questions as: Have we met Robot Renesmee? Is Lee Pace at his hottest here? Does anyone remember the show FlashForward? Did going into this completely blind help Brandon enjoy it? and Did everyone enjoy this one? among many others...

In true M. Night Shyamalan fashion, this episode has a mind-bending twist: One of us actually really likes this movie!!

TAYLOR COAN escapes a supernatural spooky House and joins the boys on a supernatural spooky Beach...a beach that makes you OLD! Will their trip change their lives and make them think about the meaning of being human, or are they just gonna have silly fun?

Join them as they answer such questions as: Do the rocks also make acting worse? What's going on with M. Night Shyamalan's sex life? What was the classic comic strip Dilbert up to in April of 2023?

July 18, 2023 THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN: PART ONE: This Could Have Been A Trilogy (with JADE BROOKS-BARTLETT)
At long last, we FINALLY get to meet Renesmee! The entire franchise has been building up to this weird little CGI Baby Face!

Jade Brooks-Bartlett and the boys attend a Washington Wedding in THE TWILGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN: PART ONE. There should be plenty of Rainier Beer and Rainbow Fish filets to go around, even after all of the "totally not a vampire" speeches.

Join them as they answer such questions as: How many movies could we condense this story into? Did we learn any new words thanks to this franchise? Was the sex scene overhyped? Is Part Two gonna stick the landing? and Just What the Hell is up with the Imprinting? among many others...

July 11, 2023 I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU CHUCK AND LARRY: Problematic or Wholesome? (with NATIONAL TREASURE HUNT)
The story is problematic, some of the language and jokes have aged poorly, but you know what the worst aspect of the movie is? The main characters are METS FANS.
Aubrey and Emily from National Treasure Hunt join the boys as they look back at I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU CHUCK AND LARRY and really try to find a single redeeming element from the feature, with a good amount of fun along the way! It's not all tiptoeing around the premise and collar yanking, we promise!
Join them as they answer such questions as: What older projects have better LGBTQ+ representation? Did we laugh at this at all? How is Burt Hummel as a dad? Was Season 2 of American Idol rigged? and Rob Schnieder why would you do this? among many others...
