This week, we're firing up the time machine and going back to 1991 to talk about the dark coming of age movie, "Boyz N The Hood." We remember the time Dynamite Hack made an inexcusable cover of the song "Boyz N The Hood," talk about how great Regina King is in the movie, debate whether there's ever been a cooler name for a character than "Furious Styles," and remember the fashion icon that was Gordon Gartrelle.

This week, we're taking a look at the seedy underbelly of college basketball with the 1994 Nick Nolte/Shaq movie, "Blue Chips." We debate Nick Nolte's merits as People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive, hear a fun Bobby Knight story, talk about how all of the cheating in the movie would be 100% legal in the current NCAA, and wonder why the filmmakers thought Shaq was just a little too tall to be believable as a basketball player.

This week, we're discussing an absolute hidden gem, the beauty pageant mockumentary, "Drop Dead Gorgeous." We talk about our mutual appreciation for Allison Janney, Crooks breaks out his Minnesota accent, we get irritated by everything Will Sasso is doing, and we wish we contemplate how much fun this movie would've been as a Netflix series.

This week, we're finally talking about a movie we've referenced dozens and dozens of times, "Renaissance Man." We discuss the art and architecture of Detroit, wonder exactly why these particular cadets are labeled especially stupid to begin with, get irritated by the way-too-long Hamlet rap scene, and talk trash about a particularly bad Marky Mark song from the soundtrack.

This week, we're talking about one of the most off-beat underdog sports movies of the 90s, "Race the Sun." We try to figure out what European county Steve Zahn's character is supposed to be from, judge the race team for not doing any research on important local sayings, try to assess the motivations of the trillions of villains in the movie, and marvel at Eliza Dushku's dramatic glowup.

This week, we're taking a swing at the 2006 dance movie, "Step Up."

In this year's Christmas special, we're time warping to 2016 to discuss the teen Christmas psychological thriller, "Better Watch Out." We butt heads over whether or not this movie is actually any good, talk about the very sudden twist at the end of the first act, ponder the height of doorknobs in non-American homes, and marvel at Dave's particularly bad Australian accent.
