December 25, 2025 Just Friends (20th anniversary)
Christmas, Christmas, the happiest day of the year! Perfect time to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the holiday rom-com Just Friends, and Mark welcomes Gaius Bolling from the Back to the Blockbuster podcast back on the show to do just that. They rave about the cast, including MVP and hilarious scene stealer Anna Faris, plus the crazy, aggressive physical comedy everyone's doing, and the original songs (Forgiveness is more than saying sorry... Just be yourself... Mall people come and go...). But that infamous fat suit is a bit cringe 20 years later, huh? The guys also shout out the movie musical Rent too, which was released on the same day as Just Friends.

December 17, 2025 Once Bitten (40th anniversary)
An '80s campy comedy is just what we need in this crazy world, so it's time to rewind to 1985 again! Mark welcomes Brian C. Tyler on the show to go to seedy Hollywood where horny teen boys go to meet older ladies and a 400 year old "woman vampire." They celebrate the 40th anniversary of the very fun movie - and great theme song - Once Bitten, which was Jim Carrey's feature film debut, and a star was born! This movie has an epic dance number, gay jokes, butts, Megan Mullally, and lots of buttons. Also, shout-out to similar 1985 hits Fright Night, Teen Wolf, A Nightmare on Elm Street 2, plus the men of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
