Have you ever questioned that the organization you've spent countless years trying to please is actually up to no good? Do you have a hunch that the establishment your connected to is not as morally righteous as your peers consider it to be? Have you ever considered going rogue to find the truth behind your suspicions? Oh… you answered no to all of these because you work for McDonald's? Ok, that is understandable… but not for the characters of the movies we are about to talk about on this episode. Pull out your alternate passports and scrape off our fingerprints. You won't need them where Cam and Izzy are taking you.

A fun game of "For The Cause" is your reward for listening to the end. We hope you enjoy it as much as Cam does. Support the show

Nothing is better than a fish out of water story. Unless of course the water is a dangerous situation and the fish is a highly unqualified person. Which brings us to our topic! Movies where a regular person is put in an incredibly dangerous, often military, situation. Will they make it out alive? Will they become battle hardened veterans who are now ready for anything? Let’s talk about it.

A nice, friendly game of "Cammo Slammo" is the cake topper on this episode. How well do you know your military camouflage acronyms? Really well? Not well at all? This test will give you a firm answer. Please allow 3 - 4 weeks for results.Support the show

The wild west! Some people say it wasn’t as wild as movies make it sound, but we say WHO. GIVES. A DAMN. Westerns are fun. They’re the original action movies. And there’s typically a clear cut line between good and evil, which is always satisfying. Cam and Iz run down a list of their favorite westerns and why they like them. You know... it's an episode.... about westerns. 

The game this time around is "Hang 'Em High Five." Think you know the difference between a western movie and a western video game? Saddle up and try it out. Support the show

You know that one guy who was in that one film that one time? And remember how that one guy was in that other film but you didn’t realize it until you went back and saw that completely different film and then remembered that it was that guy and you’re like, “Hey, It’s what’s his face with the hair from that other movie!” Well today we are talking about that guy and a bunch of other guys and gals that were in things but you didn’t know it until we told you.  Whether it's movies or TV or even video game voice actors, you're going to learn a lot of stuff that will probably only help you at a bar trivia night.

This episode finishes up with a special game of Israel's creation called "What's All Their Faces?" It's brutal and frankly Cam (and Chris) think Izzy is insane for coming up with such a difficult game, but here we are.Support the show

The nuclear option! We all know what it is and we all know why no one has ever used it (those bombs in Japan were "atomic" and we’ll die on that hill). But that doesn’t mean people in pop culture don’t like to fantasize about it. But what do those fantasies look like? And are they realistic? Let’s find out! Cam and Iz talk about all their favorite radioactive pop culture content and, as is their way, let it blossom (or mushroom?!) into many off-topic discussions.

This week's game is named after Cam's favorite song, RADIOACTIVE! The game that proves radiation isn't just for lookin' at your bones without cutting yourself open. It's for giving people powers! Support the show

Today's episode (throwing star!) is all about (sneak attack!) NINJAS! Cam and Iz have a real nice conversation about their favorite ninjas in pop culture, which surprisingly don't involve Japan as much as you think they would (although Japanese ninjas certainly make an appearance, never you worry). So put on your finest black outfit, throw a ski mask or some other black hood and try to sneak up on this podcast, if you even can. (SPOILERS: you cannot)

How good are you at discerning Japanese food names from names of famous Japanese warriors? If you've always wondered, but never had a way to know, then this episode's game of Suki-Yummy is perfect for you. Happy birthday!Support the show

This episode is a sequel to our original Pop Quiz, Hot Shot episode we did a while back. It’s also known as “What Would Cam and Izzy Do?” Basically, Chris lays some scenarios on Cam and Israel and they talk (a.k.a. bullsh*t) their way through them and tell you how they would have done it. Do they stick to the script? Do they go rogue? Do they try to just GTFO of every situation Chris puts them in as fast as they can? 

The game in this episode is "Time is Just a Construct." How well do you remember your fictional dates? If it's very well, then it's finally your time to shine!Support the show

Gangsters are everywhere and everyone. They can be Italian or Irish, Black or White, men or women. It doesn't matter. They're all gangsters and they're all terrifying. Which is exactly what Cam and Israel talk about in today's episode! All things gangster (with some little audio side quests about Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio accents). As the advice goes in the the Godfather, leave the gun, take the podcast.

A fun game of "That's Gangster" will leave you wondering who comes up with all the gangsters' nicknames and how do WE GET THAT JOB?!Support the show

This episode is titled: Eggs Benedict Arnold. No, we’re not coming up with a weird recipe for eggs Benedict. Although, if you added a bit of paprika…NO! We must stay on topic. And that topic is TRAITORS. Yeah, those treasonous bastards we all hate to hate. Nothing redeemable. And when they finally meet their ends, we’re all thrilled. You know the ones we’re talking about. Oh, what? You don’t? Then Let Cam and Iz tell you all about them. 

A fun round of Cam The Redeemer ends the episode as a palette cleanser. And something happens that has never happened before on the podcast.
