Kicking off Season Five—and celebrating the life of the late Sidney Poitier, Academy Award winner, knighted in the UK, onetime Ambassador of the Bahamas, and all-around man about town—Kevin brings forth Sneakers, a 1992 thriller starring Robert Redford and a stacked ensemble cast. A preemptive word of advice: never trust a man who says he's with the NSA.

Ringing out the season, Kevin and Chris look back at The Santa Clause, a 1994 Christmas romp in which Tim Allen (I guess inadvertently) kills old St. Nick and hops into his place.

Merry Christmas! Callooh! Callay!

Tucked far beneath your tree, in that little spot not even the light reflecting off the ornaments quite reaches... why, it's a present from your friends Chris and Kevin. A Christmas morning bonus episode! Aren't they just the best, you think, clasping your mug of cocoa in hand. Come along with us for a look back at Christmas Nights Into Dreams, a 1996 winter seasonal promo game for the dearly departed Sega Saturn.

This time, Kevin and Chris are joined by an extra special guest from clear across the United States — space guy, maple syrup maven, and all-around raconteur Dave Prosper! Dave brings with him tales of the seminal American anime localization Robotech, originally known as Macross in Japan. Full of intrigue, suspense, and a surprising amount of darkly accurate commentary on propaganda and crisis fatigue, you'll be clamoring to climb into your Veritech in no time.

This time Chris escorts Kevin back to the halcyon days of 1995, when syndicated cartoon powerhouse DIC—known to some in the industry as "Do It Cheap"—decided to import Sailor Moon, Japan's prototypical magical girl anime, to western shores. This was the first introduction little Chris had to the wide world of anime (or as Americans called it in those days, Japanimation), but the question looms: was it any good?

Whether you're feeling celebratory, stressed, cozy, or stuffed, Kevin and Chris are here to share a Thanksgiving meal with you. The boys relive some memories of Thanksgivings past, and invite you to eat along with them!

Deep in the heart of November, Kevin pulls a Thanksgiving classic out of his back pocket — 1987's Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, starring Steve Martin and John Candy, both at or near the height of their respective powers. Will Neal Page make it home by Turkey Time? Is Del Griffith really an honest man, or is he actually a witting, canny con artist? Also, the boys definitively figure out what's in Del's trunk.

Rounding out Halloween season 2021, Kevin and Chris are joined by three-time returning guest Evan Tognotti—the most prolific sibling in Now We Know history—to examine My Boyfriend's Back, a 1993 comedy/horror (kind of?) flick that bravely asks: what if a clingy loser won Traci Lind's heart simply by decomposing in her arms? Featuring several early performances by big names—Philip Seymour Hoffman, Matthew Fox, and Matthew McConaughey all make appearances, as well as the mayor of Tinseltown, Paul Dooley.

Spooky season continues as Kevin and Chris gaze back, with longingly erotic, vampiric intensity, at Canadian TV series Forever Knight, which ran from 1992 to 1996. Centered on 800-year-old vampire Nick Knight, who joins the Toronto police force to atone for his past sins and depravities, this show has it all: Vamps! Unethical 12-step sponsors! Bisexual lighting! Panicked 90's attitudes toward video games! And, last but not least, a humble man named Skanky.

In a special spooky season bonus episode, Kevin and Chris look back at an oft-forgotten relic of early 90's Halloween animated specials — Tales From The Far Side, featuring macabre meanderings straight from the brain of Gary Larson. Come for the cow Bride of Frankenstein, stay for the saddest wolf in recorded history.
