Pat & Jon on Their Best Behavior

The fellas are joined by Skidmore pal Julia Hansen, who gifts them the opportunity to rediscover their child-like capacity for wonder as they tackle two transcendent recent animated films: Kubo and the Two Strings (2016) and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018). (Pat begrudgingly accepts but rediscovers a sliver of his long-lost innocence along the way.) Also, Jon’s PTSD flairs up after remembering the time he ate a Pittsburgh specialty sandwich, Pat relates some high drama from his fantasy basketball league, and Julia advocates for family planning by way of attending afternoon showings of animated films.

Happy Pal-entines day! The guys welcome back Ziggy Schulting and Sydney Tennant (who agreed to come so as long as Pat doesn't mention Phantom Thread) to talk about their favorite albums about L-O-V-E. In this genre-spanning episode, the former couples attempt to describe one another's music taste—and they discuss some very special albums, from a Pittsburgh lad to a guitar-playing heartthrob to possibly the greatest album about infidelity ever recorded. Also, Pat is in the middle of his McConaissance. Live. Laugh. Love.

Jon promised Pat he would finally stop talking about his college band on the podcast if they dedicated an episode to it, so the boys are joined by Jon's Yo Soy Milk bandmates, Johnny Murphy and Seamus Gilder, to discuss the trio's (in)famous presence in the Skidmore music scene. They talk about the varied response to their music, buying carloads of $2.99 six-packs at Stewart's for gigs, and their favorite songs/places to play. Pat gets inspired to learn the recorder!

Gather 'round, friends: let's save them souls (and go to prom)! The boys are joined by theatre-maker and podcast host Aurelia Grierson (That Do It For Ya!) to discuss the 2004 evangelical satire Saved!. The group discusses palatial student housing and Mandy Moore—and Aurelia and Jon team up to try and explain the concept of religion to Pat.

As ever, watch Pat's short film Nut Boyz: https://vimeo.com/462857522.

The boys are joined by Skidmore pal Leah Docktor to discuss all things cover songs. They talk about what makes a great cover song, as well as how some covers are so great that they eclipse the original. Leah helps Pat with his ID Card, Jon is infatuated with Aubrey (yes, "Aubrey") Hepburn, and Pat didn't do any of the podcast homework.

The guys are joined by their Skidmore College elder Michael Zegen (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The Stand In, Frances Ha, Girls) to discuss some of Michael’s favorite childhood movies that made him want to be an actor. They also talk fake Twitter accounts, the high-art of 80s family movies, and doomscrolling.

It’s a three-way tie between Patrick Stanny, Jon Lemay, and Robert Pattinson in the Battle of the Palest—so the lads are joined by Letterboxd scholar and film critic Mia Vicino (aka Brat Pitt) to discuss the highs and lows of Rob’s career. They talk the totemism of Twilight, the insanity of Remember Me, and the magnificence of The Lighthouse. For once in his life, Jon is out-chinned!  Warning: there are major spoilers for the film Remember Me starting around 32:00, so if you don't want the insane ending of that movie to be ruined for you, we recommend you skip to around 54:05 of this episode.

The guys just couldn’t stop podding! In the wake of their previous three-hour odyssey recounting their favorite albums/films of the year, Pat and Jon tackle a slew of 2020 albums, TV shows, and movies that some listeners and friends wrote in about! Also, Jon watches Pat kill two women (on television) and proceeds to critique his acting.

Lil Baby! Lil Uzi! Oh my! The boys saddle up to rank their top 5 albums and top 5 films released in 2020. They then sit down for an extended listener call-in segment in which they talk with some previous guests—as well some new friends! This episode has all the trademarks: Pat doing a horrific Irish accent (possibly for a Normal People dramatic reading), Jon being *that* music guy, and both boys extolling the virtues of Dudes Rock. 

0:00 - Top 5 Albums of 2020

Thanks to everyone for an amazing 2020! We hope that we haven't been (too) annoying. It's beyond cliché to say that we have huge plans for the next year, but we do! Enjoying the podcast? Leave us a quick rating/review on Apple Podcasts!

The boys learn a little about the history of strikes and unionization through the rose-colored lenses of Disney as they are joined by comedians Julia Claire and Kate Willet of Reply Guys, a leftist/feminist comedy podcast. They discuss Christian Bale's insane accent, how eerily clean the streets of 1890s New York are, and how Disney portrays unionization (spoiler: not great!). If you have ever wanted to gang up on theater kids or have smiled when none of the kids from your college's theater department became successful, this episode will fill you with glee. Come for the discussion of a disastrous Disney live-action musical, stay for the definition of a "reply guy" and what it means to be "toxically online."
