Recipe for Disaster

"Get Gollum off the drugs and into a treatment program and he'll look like Andy Serkis again in about 4 weeks."

In this episode, Rachael picks the animated Hobbit movie to share a piece of her childhood with us. There are talking animals and lessons on empathy, of course, and obligatory comparisons to Peter Jackson's LOTR and Hobbit trilogies, both of which Jordan and Rachael were disappointed in. To top it all off, Rachael makes homemade Ding Dongs!

"Greed, capitalism, guns, and Space Jam."

Jordan and Rachael talk for way longer than they thought they would about Space Jam. They get into income inequality, the problems with uninformed investing, and whether or not Whitesnake went to heaven, all because of a movie about space aliens that play basketball against Michael Jordan and some cartoons. They also eat a delicious sugarfree lemon meringue pie.

"There are a lot of dickheads in this movie. Like, literally, heads of dicks."

Holy codpieces, Batman! Rachael and Jordan do things a little differently this week and watch a movie suggested by a reviewer on Apple Podcasts. It's also Jordan's birthday, so the sugar free bit goes out the window this week.

"Law enforcement should watch Men in Black. That's how you should treat people."

This week we get way off course discussing Freddy Got Fingered, Kiefer Sutherland, and Cruel Intentions, but we eventually get around to Men in Black. Jordan learns when to shut his trap, and Rachael pulls a name out of a hat to decide who will pick the movie we review next week.

"Billionaire beats up the mentally ill for a private prison he helped fund.

America!"

BONUS EPISODE TIME!!! We had some extra time this weekend, and surprisingly, it was Rachael who suggested we spend an entire day watching and experiencing various versions of Batman! We pour the requisite amount of love onto The Animated Series, discuss problems with the Arkham series of video games, place Tim Burton's Batman above Chris Nolan's The Dark Knight, and tie almost everything back to The Long Halloween. Delicious peanut butter brownies make everything better though.

"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. You might get molested, or die alone on a beach in Vietnam, or get your legs blown off, unless you're Forrest Gump, then you get millions of dollars for being an idiot."

For this Memorial Day episode, Jordan rambles incoherently about how our military is treated and Rachael carefully explains how people with disabilities are often dismissed or put on a pedestal. Her Sugarfree Chocolate Chip Cookies are delicious, but Forrest Gump is an unbelievable travesty that once again brings up Robert Zemeckis' sanitation of dark events in our history. Enjoy!

"I am sporting a tremendous woody right now."

In this episode we flip the script by having our best friends, Phil and Kami, as special guests! We watch the 1986 classic Short Circuit, and quickly remember why it's not still in all of our hearts. Spoiler alert! There's a major character in brownface! We also drool over Rachael's sugarfree chocolate ice cream with chocolate covered coconut clusters and discuss tort reform.

"We will eventually forget about The Sandlot."

In this episode, we remember our childhoods fondly by watching The Sandlot, and Rachael makes an amazing Cappuccino Mousse. Jordan tells a story about poop and Rachael points out the differences between rural and urban childhoods.

"You can't know a monkey's intent!"

In this episode, Rachael and Jordan watch Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark while eating a 100% sugarfree salted caramel cheesecake. They debate the morality of Nazi monkeys and anxiously await the release of an all-female cast reboot.

The very first episode of Recipe for Disaster. In this episode, Jordan forces Rachael to watch the 1985 classic Back to the Future, and Rachael "forces" Jordan to eat some (almost) sugarfree peanut butter chocolate cupcakes.
