Summers Off episodes

  • Say Anything

    "I gave her my heart; she gave me a pen." We close this season with one of the most romantic of 80s movies, Say Anything.

    Hear stories of our two main characters falling in love, learning how to drive a clutch, and holding boomboxes over their heads. We also talk about the movie.

    Did John Cusack even like this movie? Did our two main characters really fall in love? Do Ty and Rach think it's one of the most romantic films of all time? All this and more on our season finale.

    Bonus! We rank season 1 and 2's movies in order with percentages for all you nerds out there! See ya next season!

  • Marley and Me

    Bring your tissues, Ty and Rach delve deep into some feelings this week with the film, Marley and Me. Questions we strive to answer in this episode: What are the best dog films of all time? What about films that make men cry? What is the Frat Pack? Is our dog Gizmo the best dog in the world (spoiler: she is).

    Warning: episode contains all the feels

  • Mortal Kombat

    Ty and Rach sit on opposite sides of the spectrum on this one. Ty's undying love for fatalities, epic fight scenes, four armed monsters, and sexy Sonya ring out, while Rach tries to keep all these names straight and figure out if there's a plot.

    And did I mention for the first time in Summers Off history, RACH FELL ASLEEP!

  • Never Been Kissed

    This week we journey back to the golden age of teen movies... 1999. Possibly one of the most problematic romantic comedies of all time, Never Been Kissed packs a wallop. Listen as Ty tells Rach what he thought the movie was about, how he was grossly mistaken, and how he can relate to "Josie Grossie".

    Does the pedophilic teacher shoot sex lasers from his eyes? Is Drew Barrymore hot or not? What were our two hosts first kisses like? Have either of them ever hit on their teachers before? All will be revealed to you this week.

  • Moulin Rouge

    With the school year just around the corner, Ty and Rach decide to revisit a much loved film: Moulin Rouge. A saucy Nicole Kidman and babyface Ewan McGregor are definitely worth a rewatch. It's a bit of a love-fest but let's face it... All you need is love!

    Talking points this week: Is the Duke hot or not? Is Nicole Kidman too pale? Does Ewan McGregor have extra teeth? And who is Qui-Gon Jim?

    Tune in to solve these mysteries and more!

  • Halloween 3

    No Michael Myers to be seen. Instead we get magic, robots, Stonehenge, and all other sorts of fun. This is Halloween 3.

    Discussion topics today include how to kill a robot, "no-nipple" clauses, the greatest love story of our parent's generation, sweet deaths, and who is the scariest of the major horror movie villains.

    Did Rach cry herself to sleep? Is she still terrified? Has she seen robots everywhere since watching this movie? Come find out.

  • Notting Hill

    We get British this week. Super British. We are talking bad dental hygiene, 100 year old queen, mushy peas, rainy days, and tea and crumpet levels of British. Our dive into the isles takes us to Notting Hill.

    Hear Ty plug Shakespeare in Love a zillion times, Rach try her best to look, act, and sound like Julia Roberts, and Ty and Rach go through the pantheon of Julia's rom coms and rank them.

    We debate is this movie funny or not? Who is the intended audience? And should Hugh and Julia even end up together at the end? Hearts will hurt, folks will be offended, and Ty and Rach continue their path towards making Summers Off "Minnesota Real".

  • The Devil Wears Prada

    It's Rach Time! We watch a Rach classic and the arguments start flying. Is this the best movie of all time? Is Anne Hathaway the worst in this movie? Should Meryl win so many Oscars?

    Disagreements prevail when Streep gets brought up and if she is the best actress to ever walk on water. We debate Mrs. Tom Brady vs. Gisele, Adam Sandler vs. Scarlett Johannson, and gaining some love weight for a role. Half this movie goes over Ty's head because he known nothing about fashion and at the end of the day we all learn how to spell Gabanna...I mean Gabbana. Whatever.

  • Ladybugs

    Uh oh! This was a doozy. Maybe the worst film we have done so far but come check out our reactions to this travesty and learn some fun stuff along the way. Don't watch Ladybugs and instead come hang with us for an hour.

    We talk about teen heartthrob Jonathan Brandis and how he stacks up on Rach's hot guy list, creepy Rodney Dangerfield moments, how Rach's soccer days were almost an exact replica of this movie, and what makes a good or a bad date. Plus prepare yourself for "Rappin Rodney"!

    Plus, Rach pays up and gives us a musical surprise for her lost bet last week.

    1 hr 14 min
  • Teen Wolf

    We're back!!!! We kick off season 2 with this wonderful 80s romp through a high school experience everyone can relate to: When you realize all that unwanted body hair is due to you being a werewolf.

    Hear Ty and Rach tell "Seven minutes in Heaven" stories, settle the age old debate of Team Jacob vs. Team Edward, and talk about Michael J's hotness, shortness, lack of dance skills, and terrible free throws. Hear how this may be the Kobe Bryant story. Plus listen to Ty talk about the greatest state in the union, and Rach talk about werewolf movies...a lot.
