This week on the pod we’re talking High Fidelity (14:33), the John Cusack music snob epic that made Jack Black a star, and The Beta Band a meme. We’re joined by special guest Kayla as we relive the innocent time before 9/11 and Pitchfork.

Yes, we did the whole Barbenheimer thing. Please enjoy this mini-episode of Headcanon At The Movies where the guys chat about their thoughts about Barbie and Oppenheimer. Send all complaints to @jamestaylor21

No. 513 | “Hi, Barbie!”

We went and saw Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One and then ran to the mics to discuss. Is it just us, or is the dynamic between Ethan Hunt, Ilsa Faust, and newcomer Grace (Hayley Atwell) just so, so weird? SPOILERS ABOUND YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

No. 512 | “A mind-reading, shape-shifting agent of chaos.”

Happy Fourth, listeners. We dragged ourselves to the mics to discuss Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (12:46). It was… fine. Also discussed: our plans for Cruel Summer season 2. *whip-crack noise!*

No. 511 | “I miss the desert. I miss the sea.”

The guys return with a very timely episode on the 1988 fantasy film Willow, and they’re joined by special guest Kayla. JT had never seen this movie, but it’s close to Kayla’s heart. This one goes off the rails in a hurry.

No. 510 | “Burglekutt, you’re troll dung!”

It’s a Bros Watch PLL Too crossover episode, the Bros are joined by Kate to talk about the grandmother of all modern teen movies: Amy Heckerling’s Clueless. The Girl from the Aerosmith video shows limitless charm as Cher, the ditzy queen of Bronson Alcott High, and the stellar supporting cast of future stars makes this teen retelling of “Emma” a classic.
