Transplant medicine is pretty dang complicated, but not if you're Nic Cage and John Travolta and in the need of a new face!  Or if you're Denzel and want to take a hospital hostage!  This week we discuss face transplants in the ridiculous crazy Face/Off.  We also talk heart transplants using John Q and 21 Grams as backdrops.  Buckle up because this discussion gets wild.  Also, be an organ donor!

This week's episode has our first ever special guest!  Big welcome to Nikki Frederick, who provides invaluable insight into the life of a type one diabetic as we discuss the disease with the backdrop of some true classic movies.  Check this lineup: Memento, Steel Magnolias, and I guess for the purposes of this sentence we'll count Panic Room as a classic as well!

This week, Justin successfully cajoled Adam and Nick into discussing some of his favorite sports movies, including Warrior, which is the best sports movie ever made (not up for debate).  So naturally, this is the best podcast episode ever made (up for debate).  We talk shoulder dislocations, broken hands and forearms, and ACL tears.  And Carlos Boozer.  Sorry, Carlos.

Welcome back from the holiday break!  We decided to do a special episode for Nick and dedicate an entire hour plus to his hero and idol, the one and only Patrick Swayze.  We get a little lost in the discussion about such classics as Dirty Dancing, Road House, and Point Break.  Also, don't get shot in the chest with a shotgun, it doesn't end well.

Welcome to your special bonus holiday episode!  For this Christmas bonus, we decided to break down some of the injuries to Chevy Chase and Joe Pesci in the Christmas classics Christmas Vacation and Home Alone.  Overall, Joe Pesci gets the worst of things.  In fact, we aren't sure he would have survived if Home Alone worked a little harder on realism.  But come listen and decide for yourself!

Welcome to our first listener requested episode!  We do our best to break down how zombie pathology can be seen in various diseases, drugs, Michael Jackson videos, etc.  They aren't real...or are they??!!!!  Dun, dun, dun!!!!

We hit up some real classics this week, including the (MTV) award-winning stunner "My Girl," the no-award winner "Pure Luck," and the classic horror film and soon-to-be-remade by Jordan Peele "Candyman."  All of these movies have one thing in common: their classic status.  Ok, two things in common: bee stings are significant plot mechanisms in all of them.  Join us for a discussion on how to protect ourselves against the real threat to all mankind.  Yes, I hate bees.

Pandemics.  The topic everyone has been waiting for, because we know you haven't heard enough about them.  While living through the worst pandemic of our lifetimes, we should be listening to two doctors and another dude discuss movies about pandemics.  Because there are some bad ones (*cough* Outbreak *cough*).  And some good ones (*cough* Contagion *cough*).  Also, find out what a couple of real doctors think are the most valuable Public Service Announcements in the year of COVID-19.  Listen and pass it on!

This week we discuss what happens when someone swallows something they shouldn't have swallowed.  Specifically, when Borat's daughter swallows a plastic baby.  Certain things just don't belong in the GI tract.  Things like plastic babies.  Or heroin baggies.  Or crackpipes.  Real life lessons learned on this pod.

This week we do a deep dive into deep dish.  And we talk about the hit TV series "What We Do In The Shadows."  What happens when non-human vampires eat human pizza?  And what happens when Justin insists that Stockton is better than Isiah Thomas?  And what happens when Adam eats seafood?  These answers and more, served not-quite-fresh on your weekly platter that is PopMed.
