1996 was a year full of great music and a time when artists were still interested in the art of making a great album from start to finish. We've chosen 16 of the best from 1996 to pit against each other in a battle to determine the best overall. Giff and Brad have called in the reserves for help voting and reminiscing. Three return guests who really know their stuff (Danaca, Craig, and Rappe) join in for the fun.

This one got long, so it's split into two parts. In Part 1, we'll discuss memories of 1996, both personal and music-related, and we'll vote our way through the first half of the bracket. Albums discussed in Part 1 include:

Semisonic - Great Divide
Soul Coughing - Irresistible Bliss
Swingers Soundtrack
Beautiful Girls Soundtrack
Fountains of Wayne - Self-Titled
Paul Westerberg - Eventually
Sheryl Crow - Self-Titled
Chris Isaak - Baja Sessions

Plus
Romeo + Juliet Soundtrack
Tin Cup Soundtrack
Beck - Odelay
Tracy Bonham - The Burdens of Being Upright

Kevin Costner was a roller coaster in the 90s: big movies, big bombs, big hits, you never knew what you were going to get. But one of favorite KC performances is 1996's Tin Cup. We love golf, we love sports movies, and we usually love us some Kevin Costner. Throw in expert sports direction from Ron Shelton and other great performances from Rene Russo, Cheech Marin, and Don Johnson, as well as a slew of golf-world cameos and you have the recipe for fun.

Speaking of fun, our draft this week is one of the most fun ones we've done. We are filling out a five-person golf team with characters that we want to play with. Whether it's for the fun they'd provide, the skills they have to help us win, or both, this draft is a hole-in-one. Tee off with us now!

Our second Spooktacular show centers on the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Giff chose this movie as he considers it the original slasher film. Is it the greatest horror movie of all-time? Is it the worst? How does it compare the big 80's slashers? Our opinions are all over the board on this one.

After answering those questions and more, we break down the horror genre into 8 sub-genres. It turns out this was kind of a fascinating way of looking at things. We discuss our favorite and least favorite categories and name drop many many movies we consider examples of each category. Listen along if you dare...

"If you ain't first, you're last." Time to rev it up and go fast. We're talking about 2006's Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. Not just a Will Ferrell vehicle, this movie boasts a star-studded cast including John C. Reilly, Amy Adams, Sacha Baron Cohen, Gary Cole, Jane Lynch, Michael Clarke Duncan, and Leslie Bibb. We'll tune you up while you're in the pit stop with all best scenes and quotes.

Even though Talladega Nights has a great cast, we're taking this opportunity to look back on the best of Will Ferrell by drafting his best characters, sketches, and movies from a long and hilarious career.

By 2006, LOST had developed a huge following, and fans were trying to uncover the mysteries every week. Packed with mystery, backstories, and great performances by an ensemble cast, the show was a sensation. We here at PCY are going to specifically cover the classic season 3 finale, "Through the Looking Glass," but there is so much more. We'll open the hatch and tell you everything we remember.

LOST had people talking. You couldn't miss an episode. Our draft this week is the best appointment TV series / watercooler shows we've watched. It's the shows you couldn't miss because everyone was talking about them, and you didn't want anything ruined. These shows were a shared experience, and so is PCY. Listen now and talk to us after you're done!

This final episode of our tour through 1986 is supersized. We start strong by breaking down the Rodney Dangerfield classic Back to School, also starring Robert Downey Jr, Sally Kellerman, Ned Beatty, Sam Kinison, and more. You'll be ready to do the Triple Lindy by the time we're done!

We then finish even stronger by getting steeped in nostalgia as Brad and Giff share memory after memory of school days of yore. You are sure to connect with many of these memories as we transport you back in time. You might say we'll take you back to school!
