  • We Build A Top 10 Fast Food List Without Knowing What Is Next

    Watch The Video Version Here.

    A single fast food pick is easy. Ranking ten of them while pulling names from a hat, with no clue what’s coming next, is where things get messy. We build our family Top 10 fast food restaurants in real time, arguing value, freshness, “road trip reliability,” and whether a place you eat in secret automatically belongs at number ten. The result is part food review, part family comedy, and part strategy game where every slot you lock in could come back to haunt you.

    Along the way we get into the big hitters and the polarizing staples: where McDonald’s and Wendy’s really belong, why Raising Cane’s earns points for consistency, and why Shake Shack is the kind of quick service stop you should literally plan a detour for. We also talk about the fuzzy line between “fast food” and “quick service,” especially once Chipotle enters the conversation and everyone suddenly has opinions about what counts.

    Then comes the bonus round, and the gloves come off. Honorable mentions like Chick-fil-A, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, and Five Guys turn into last-minute power moves under a strict rule: one change each, and once a spot is changed it’s locked forever. We cap it off with “what was good this week,” sharing thoughts on The Odyssey, new shows, guilty-watch movies, chiropractor weirdness, and recent music drops.

    Listen, pick your side, and then help us settle it: subscribe, share the episode with a fellow fast food debater, and leave a review. What chain is your personal number one?

  • We Argue Our Way To A Top 10 Shows List

    Watch The Video Version Here.

    A Top 10 TV shows list should be easy, right up until four people try to agree on one ranking without knowing what show is coming next. We dump our picks into a hat, draw them blind, and have to place each series on the board on the spot. That one rule turns a fun idea into a full-on family debate about what “best” even means. 

    We get into comfort rewatches like Brooklyn Nine-Nine, long-running animated staples like Bob’s Burgers, and the risk of ranking an unfinished prestige drama like Severance. Then we hit the heavyweights and the lightning rods: Freaks and Geeks and its one-season legacy, the pull of X-Men ’97, and why Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad keep showing up when people talk about elite TV writing and character work. 

    After we reveal the first draft of the list, we add a bonus round where each of us gets one move. That’s when honorable mentions like Arrested Development, Trollhunters, Gravity Falls, and The Bear shake everything up and we lock in a final family Top 10. If you love TV rankings, pop culture arguments, and figuring out what makes a show truly rewatchable, hit play, then subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review with your own #1 pick.

  • We Try To Agree On A Top 10 Movies List

    Watch The Video Version Here

    A top 10 movies of all time list sounds like a fun family activity until you have to agree on one ranking with three other people who will absolutely call you out. We make it harder on purpose: everyone throws five movies into a hat, we only use films all four of us have seen, and we place each pick on the list immediately without knowing what’s coming next. That one rule turns a simple movie ranking into a real-time draft full of bad strategy, strong opinions, and a lot of laughing.

    The hat delivers instant curveballs: do you reward pure rewatch value like School of Rock, respect-heavy filmmaking like No Country for Old Men, or pure “this is a classic” energy like Back to the Future? We argue about what makes a movie truly great, where nostalgia helps or hurts, and why some titles feel unbeatable even when someone at the table is not impressed. Along the way we lock in rankings for Terminator 2, Project Hail Mary, The Muppets (2011), E.T., and Toy Story 3, then reveal the full list including our number one pick, Step Brothers.

    After the rankings, we do a bonus round twist where each person gets one change, which leads to a few satisfying fixes and a couple of choices that spark new debates. We also share quick personal highlights from the week and end on the kind of off-the-rails family banter you’d expect from Relatively Terrible. If you love movie debates, film list drama, and comedy that feels like a real living room argument, hit play, then subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review with your own top 3.

  • Listener Hot Takes On Movies Music And Culture

    Watch The Video Version Here.

    You can learn a lot about a person from one sentence, especially when that sentence is a hot take. We asked listeners to send their spiciest opinions, then we read them out loud and react with zero chill and just enough love to keep it fun. The result is a fast-paced comedy podcast vibe with real arguments hiding under the jokes: internet safety for kids, why online politics wrecks relationships, and how basic public etiquette somehow keeps getting worse. 

    We bounce through pop culture and entertainment debates that always start harmless and then spiral: Marvel rankings, Batman Begins versus The Dark Knight, Wolverine as the “greatest superhero,” and whether The Office is the last truly great sitcom. We also get into a bigger conversation about modern storytelling, remakes, and movies that chase shock value instead of earning the ending, plus a few exceptions that actually feel fresh. If you’re into movie reviews, TV talk, and opinionated culture commentary, you’ll have plenty to argue with here. 

    And yes, we go full chaotic with food takes too: Raising Cane’s being overhyped, tomatoes versus ketchup, Pepsi versus Coke, warm drinks that should never be warm, and the most cursed soda description we’ve ever heard. We close by sharing our own personal hot takes and letting the debate run. If you laughed, cringed, or yelled at your speaker, subscribe, share this with a friend who loves to argue, and leave us a review. What’s the one hot take you’ll defend forever?

  • Why James Gunn’s DCU Stumbled With Supergirl (Spoilers)

    Watch The Video Version Here.

    Supergirl was supposed to be the next confident step in James Gunn’s DCU. Instead, it left us asking a much harsher question: how do you follow a strong Superman with a movie that feels like a side quest, barely connected to anything, and somehow less sure of itself than the franchise’s past mistakes? We talk candidly about why the timing feels off, why the story doesn’t earn its stakes, and why “we’ll care later” is a dangerous strategy in an era of superhero fatigue.

    We break down what actually works (yes, we’ve got thoughts on Lobo and why that casting has real potential) and what absolutely doesn’t. From kryptonite logic that collapses under basic scrutiny, to character choices that only exist to shove the plot forward, to uneven CGI that looks unfinished, the big theme keeps circling back to the same culprit: writing. We also dig into the movie’s identity crisis, where the tone and music cues lean so hard toward Guardians-style energy that Supergirl risks feeling like a remix instead of a distinct, well-drawn hero.

    Then we zoom out to the bigger argument: what DC should do next. Should they build slowly like the MCU did, make audiences fall in love with side characters before handing them a solo spotlight, or scrap the whole approach and let great filmmakers tell contained stories? We even pitch fixes we’d make to the plot and character introductions, and we close with our ratings plus what we’re enjoying this week when we need a break from messy superhero storytelling. Subscribe, share with a DC fan who’s conflicted, and leave a review with your Supergirl score out of 10.

  • Toy Story 5 Is Worth It (Spoilers Ahead!)

    Watch The Video Version Here.

    Toy Story 5 looks like it might be a tired sequel, then it hits you with real jokes, real heart, and a story that actually has something to say. We’re skeptical going in, but we come out arguing it belongs next to the original trilogy, with the kind of comedy that works for kids while adults catch the sharper lines. We also flag a spoiler point early, because we get specific about what made us laugh, what made us tear up, and what moments felt like classic Pixar.

    The big conversation is the “toys versus iPad” premise and why it’s more than a cheap headline. We talk about the movie’s surprisingly nuanced take on technology, cyberbullying, and how easy it is for kids to be cruel behind a screen while parents miss the signs. Jessie’s storyline becomes a standout, and the film’s callbacks feel earned instead of forced, especially compared to how disconnected Toy Story 4 felt for us.

    Then we hit our Dumb Hill segment: tiny grievances, bold claims, and the arguments we’ll defend way too hard, from animation choices to voice actor nitpicks. We wrap with our Relatively Terrible rating scale, final one-liners, and a quick “what was good this week” check-in that turns into a reminder to chase better movies, better moments, and more time together. Subscribe, share this with a Toy Story fan, leave a review, and tell us: does Toy Story 5 crack your top three?

  • Disclosure Day Review From Spielberg Hype To CGI Gripes

    Watch The Video Version Here.

    Spielberg drops a shiny alien “disclosure” movie, and we immediately argue about whether it’s a crowd-pleasing sci-fi thriller or a frustratingly familiar conspiracy story with a fancy coat of paint. We keep it spoiler-free at the top, then we jump into spoilers because the only way to talk about what works (and what absolutely doesn’t) is to name the scenes, the choices, and the big swing of an ending.

    We break down the pacing, the cast, and the sequences that actually feel fresh, especially the news station chaos and the train scene. Then we get into the stuff that made us stop and say, “Wait, explain that,” like the mysterious alien device, the half-defined rules behind the characters’ powers, and how much the film leans on ambiguity. If you love tidy sci-fi lore, you might rage. If you like space for interpretation, you might be impressed.

    And yes, we go there: the CGI animals. For a Steven Spielberg movie, some of it feels shockingly below the standard, and we talk about why bad effects can pull you out of a serious story fast. Along the way, we zoom out to the bigger themes the movie hints at: empathy, fear, institutional distrust, and how humanity reacts when the truth goes public.

  • Question Box Chaos

    Watch The Video Version Here.

    We opened an Instagram question box and let you choose the agenda, which is basically an invitation for chaos with a side of real life. The result is a fast, funny podcast Q&A that bounces from pop culture opinions to the kind of personal moments that sneak up on you when a family is talking honestly in the same room.

    We get into a surprisingly serious Favorite Batman debate, then zoom out to our 2026 highs and lows so far, including travel, family time, and a loss that puts everything else in perspective. If you’re into creator life, we also talk about what we’d be doing if social media didn’t exist, whether the internet makes us happier or just louder, and how books, shows, and communities find us through algorithms for better or worse.

    We also share a real update on the Uploads of Fun movie process: the unglamorous behind-the-scenes work, the writing, the logistics, and why crowdfunding is such a make-or-break moment. From there, it’s rapid-fire fun: personality animals, weird questions people ask us in public, the TV couples we’d keep together, and the changes we’d make to favorite movies and shows, including a no-holds-barred take on Stranger Things.

    If you like family podcasts, pop culture debates, and unfiltered humor that still has heart, hit play. Subscribe, share it with a friend who loves arguing about movies, and leave a review with the best question we should answer next.

  • Why Daredevil Born Again Season 2 Feels Like Peak Marvel Again

    Watch The Video Version Here.

    Marvel finally gives us a season that moves like it has something to prove. We come in a little feral, argue about “Ozempic face,” and then get serious about why Daredevil Born Again Season 2 feels like a genuine step up: no filler, bigger story swings, and a finale that forces Matt Murdock to make a reveal that actually costs him something. If you have been missing that peak Marvel TV feeling, we think this is the closest the MCU has gotten in a while.

    We break down what works and what doesn’t, including the one stretch of bad CGI that looks rushed, plus the bigger issue that bugs us as Marvel fans: continuity. The Punisher setup from earlier stories feels oddly absent, and Punisher Last Kill doesn’t do much to connect the dots. We also debate whether Jessica Jones is a smart addition or just a distraction from the character we expected to see, and we spiral into the shared universe question of who should show up when Fisk is throwing chaos around New York.

    Then we get into the fun and the pain: Buck becomes our most hated villain, Daniel’s storyline turns into a surprising “top five character” hot take, and we give Wilson Fisk his flowers as a Kingpin who feels scarier than a cosmic threat because he could be real. If you want a spoiler-filled Daredevil Born Again Season 2 review with strong opinions, moral gray zones, and a few dumb hills worth dying on, hit play, subscribe, and leave a review. What’s your hottest take on the season?

  • Why Ozzy’s 1991 Comeback Still Hits Hard

    Watch The Video Version Here

    Is No More Tears Ozzy Osbourne’s peak, or just the best-looking chapter in a long legend? We don’t tiptoe around it. One of us calls it his peak album with zero hesitation, another hears a dated 90s sheen, and the rest of us bounce between admiration, annoyance, and that reluctant “fine, the production is great” respect that only a big rock record can force out of you.

    We dig into the 1991 context, the jump from earlier eras into the Zakk Wylde lineup, and why the guitar tone and pinch harmonics feel like their own character. We also get into the details that actually shape how a listener experiences the record: synths that either elevate the drama or instantly timestamp it, riffs that stand out versus riffs that blur together, and Ozzy’s unmistakable voice doing the heavy lifting even when we disagree on the songs. If you care about heavy metal production, classic rock songwriting, or what makes a track “sing-along metal,” there’s plenty to chew on.

    The conversation gets sharper when we hit lyrics and meaning. “Mr. Tinkertrain” sparks real pushback, “Mama, I’m Coming Home” gets misread in a way that makes everyone stop and reassess, and we talk about how radio overplay can permanently attach music to childhood memories, dentist offices, and retail jobs. Then we let it all explode in our “dumb hill” segment, including a full-on Ozzy versus Metallica Black Album argument, plus what we’d cut, fix, or shamelessly merch if we owned the catalog.

    If you’ve got a take on No More Tears, we want it. Subscribe, share this with the friend who always says “Ozzy is overrated,” and leave a review with your verdict: peak album, flawed classic, or total skip?
