First up for 1992: Brad's all-time favorite band R.E.M. and their masterpiece album Automatic for the People. Even though it is filled with themes of death, this album is beautiful in every way and was a creative peak for one of America's best ever bands. From Everybody Hurts to Man on the Moon to Nightswimming and more, we break it all down and sing its praises throughout.

In addition to the album we share many of our R.E.M. favorite songs and albums. Capping it off is a draft of our favorite bands of all time to tie into the theme of the show. Don't give yourself a raw deal. Go on a Drive , turn this episode on, and sweetness will be sure to follow.

All this month we're cooking up one of the most formative years of our lives: 1992. To help us kick it off we've invited fellow podcaster (and native Minnesotan) Ryan Pak from the Soundtrack Your Life podcast to join us. Learn about his show, relive 1992 with us, and follow along as we draft the very best movies, music, and TV from a year filled with grunge bands, flannel shirts, and good times.

It's happening! After close to three years, we're finally talking about maybe our collective favorite movie ever: 1980's Caddyshack! No movie has been more quoted, more watched, and more important to bringing us together with our friends than Caddyshack. In this episode, we talk all about what makes it great in our opinion.

One of the reasons Caddyshack is so wonderful is the performance of Bill Murray. While Ted Knight (Judge Smails), Rodney Dangerfield (Al Czervik), and Chevy Chase (Ty Webb) are also at the top of their game, Murray's Carl Spackler stands out as much as anyone else. We cap the episode off by drafting our favorite Bill Murray movies and other credits. Well...we're waiting...for you to listen!

If there is one thing we love at PCY more than nostalgia, it might be trivia. The arrival of Trivial Pursuit in the 80s took the board game world by storm. At least that's how we remembered it. We talk about our first memories of the game (Spiro Agnew) and even pit Brad against Giff in a quick trivia match.

After the exciting mano a mano, we finish the episode by drafting our favorite board games. Do you like Scattergories, Pictionary, Monopoly, Sorry? Listen now to hear who wins and if your favorite game made one of our lists!

Dave is back! When our sometime host Dave heard we were doing 1980, he requested we discuss one of his favorite movies, Flash Gordon. None of the rest of us had seen this movie, and it is quite an experience. While it may not be the best movie ever made, it definitely has found its way into pop culture still today, thanks in no small part to the movie Ted. It also doesn't hurt that the music was done by Queen. It's a movie everyone should probably see once.

Flash Gordon was pretty clearly thought to be a franchise with multiple sequels, but it didn't work out that way. So our draft in this one is our favorite characters who only ever appeared in one movie. Obviously a very broad topic, we cover a lot of ground and are sure to mention many greats that you will love.

We were 4 years old in 1980, so when we started this show we figured that would be as far back as we'd go. But now that we're actually focusing on the year 1980, we are making an exception. And you can ALWAYS make an exception for Steve Martin. The Jerk was released in December of 1979. But it was such a great and important movie (especially for Brad) that we're including it now. It'd a great way to kickoff the new month!

We'll share our memories and break the movie down for you in all its glory. And since this is one of the most quotable movies of all-time, we finish it off by drafting our favorite quotes from the movie. It's a fun draft and a good way to keep us on track! So pop open your thermos and enjoy!

We're closing the yearbook on 2018 with a criminally underappreciated TV series, Life in Pieces. This show contained a fantastic cast including James Brolin, Dianne Wiest, Colin Hanks, and Betsy Brandt, among others. And if you liked Modern Family, you would be sure to love this too. We break down the cast, a classic episode, and much more. 

While fantastic, the series only ran 3 1/2 seasons. Giff, who chose this one, felt it was too short of a run. So we decided to draft our favorite TV series that ended too soon. Who was the lucky one to get first pick, and therefore, Freaks and Geeks? Find out now!

in 2018 YouTube Red introduced a show called Cobra Kai. Filled with nostalgia, camp, and fun, this renewal of The Karate Kid series eventually took off when it became a Netflix show. Returning stars Ralph Macchio and William Zabka made Pete's choice for 2018 a sensation for Gen Xers and a new generation alike.

It is a show that also contained many (maybe over the top) violent scenes and fights. So after discussing the show and reliving the feel good nostalgia, we focus on violence. Our draft this week is about the most violent movies (or other things) we have seen. Do you think Quentin Tarantino will make an appearance, or two, or three? Find out now!

The Harry Potter series has always been huge in Brad's family, and in 2018 they took a family trip to Universal Orlando, mostly for the Harry Potter parts of the park. It was  fantastic time and led to this week's topics. We start with an overview of the HP series and a draft of our favorite HP characters.

We then talk about theme parks like Universal and Disney. We share memories, favorite rides, attractions, and more. We also draft our favorite family vacation destinations (whether we've been there or want to go there). Harry Potter, vacations, TWO drafts: it's a jam packed episode! And if that isn't enough, we are once again visited by Giff's wife, Courtney! Tune in now for the fun!
