  • Ep. 21: "Cast Away" Hits Different in Quarantine [w/ Sarah Huckins]

    Put on your life preserver (for your body and mind) as the boys are joined by Sarah Huckins to discuss Cast Away, the ultimate quarantine movie. The group envisions how each of them would fare on a deserted island, Jon tries (and fails) to blow Pat's and Sarah's minds with a fun fact about FedEx, and Pat delivers a treatise on his favorite member of the Hanks family: Chet.

  • Ep. 20: Top 5 Albums of the 90s [w/ Jacob Geskin]

    Just like a nationwide financial recession, the boys are back! They are joined by Jacob Geskin (who also composed the podcast's theme music) to rank their favorite albums of the 90s. Jacob gives the boys a rundown of the major players and themes of 90s music that you will not want to miss. They discuss albums from Slipknot to Britney Spears to Neutral Milk Hotel to Biggie to Oasis. And, as always, Jon brings up his fragile emotional state and Pat mentions films that no one cares about.

  • Ep. 19: Pat & Jon Play Catch Up

    The boys are back for good ol’ duo episode. They’ve given each other film and music recommendations as homework, which just means that Jon gave Pat sad stuff to listen to and watch. (This may be the first podcast to talk about Billy Wilder and Michael Bay.) Highlights include: Pat being too eager about a Lil Wayne mixtape, Jon extolling the virtues of Woody Harrelson and University of Texas professor Matthew McConaughey, and a discussion about Michael Bay’s comedic chops.

    The Chernin Sisters are back! Alex and Blake Chernin are broadcasting live from a house with no electricity, and they take the boys to Southampton to hang out with the legends Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton in the great Iraq War-era romantic comedy Something's Gotta Give. They talk about the best and most cringe-inducing early 2000's motifs, everyone's first AIM screen name, and Jon tells the girls about a grilled cheese (carbs!) that Pat made.

  • Ep. 17: Greta Gerwig Only Has Bangers [w/ Gina Doherty]

They discuss the joy of Frances Ha and the confidence of Lady Bird, Gina reveals her many connections to Greta's films, and Jon gets an unfortunate comparison to a character. Pat also talks about overplaying his hand on a first date. We love you, Greta.

  • Ep. 16: The Resurrection of Jennifer’s Body [w/ Aimee Kuge & Eva Smittle]

    The guys go back to a time when scene kids and Diablo Cody reigned supreme. The duo and co talk about the tragic studio mishandling the marketing of the film Jennifer's Body, their favorite songs from the soundtrack, and Megan Fox’s blacklisting. Eva also gets excited about a rattail and Pat talks about a formative drone shot.

    The lads are joined by Brenden Bendorf (host of Filmoholics Identified) to talk about the pop-punk band The Wonder Years. They talk about the band's legendary multi-album run, as well as how they developed such a cult following.

  • Ep. 14: Pat & Jon & Sydney & Ziggy [w/ Sydney Tennant & Ziggy Schulting]

    Yes, at one point in time, the best friends dated each other. The boys are joined by actors Ziggy Schulting (Artistic Director of 3DaysPrior) and Sydney Tennant (Executive Director of 3DaysPrior). The four of them discuss the movies they saw together as couples, as well as four distinctly “romantic” movies. It's a great trip down memory lane as Ziggy and Sydney gang up on Pat’s questionable cinematic choices, Pat gangs up on Jon and Ziggy's questionable movie date choices, and Sydney describes her very special relationship to rom-coms of the 90s and 2000s.

  • Ep. 13: Young (Hot) Daniel Day-Lewis [w/ Lily Donahue]

    The boys are joined by actress Lily Donahue to talk about the 90s filmography of a certain actor you may know as "DDL." They talk about how The Last of the Mohicans was fundamental in each of their respective sexualities, and how many underrated bangers DDL had before he got *cough* mainstream. Jon also informs the world about his love of literary adaptations and Pat gets mad about Chris Pratt and the romantic subplot in Michael Mann’s film Heat.
