The backside of Now! 24 has high highs and low lows. Welcome to the program, Lily Allen, and hello, Nickelback, our old friends: we meet again. This episode has the gang recommending their favorite Halloween spook-a-doodles before tipping back double soy venti latte-gaze-acinos and chasing it with a shot of Mom Rock. Plus: we have to be done with The All-American Rejects for a while, right?

It's Now! 24! Be thankful you're listening to the front half of this one because hoooo boy, wait til Side B. Here, however, we've got the boys gushing over video game music and 80s pop songs that are not at all on this compilation. They also talk about the unqiquitous power of Timbaland, respectfully disagree on Beyonce, and add -licious to so many stupid words. It's nonsense, but it's our nonsense.

It's Now! 23, Side B, which definitely wasn't delayed due to one of the hosts having an arm injury. We finish up the disc by discussing horror icons' love lives, Nico takes a deep dive into the Nick Lachey/Jessica Simpson marriage and divorce and songs around it, Chris talks "selling out," and we finally talk Old Town Road.

La boix are back from their CRJ-cation to talk Now! 23! We're swinging with some heavy hitters on this one, but most of them are strikeouts. Welcome back Timbaland after a massive hiatus, and he's bringing with him Nelly Furtado and JT. Does his extremely 2006 sound hold up? What is Fergie's London Bridge and why is it going down? What would songs from this volume sound like if done today? Plus more concert stories, diversions, and cringey impressions than you can shake a tailfeather at.

This week, on the season finale of The E•MO•TION Minute, Nico and Chris search for something negative to say about the A+ B-side "Cut to the Feeling." Is this the best B-side of all-time? Who saw the movie this was attached to? Where would it have fit in E•MO•TION? Come for what basically becomes a 15 minute discussion on CRJ's high range, stay for our pitch for 80s rom-com "Weekend at Carly's."

Sorry for the slight delay in kicking off this month's finale to The E•MO•TION Minute 2019; Chris moved into a new place and is meticulously setting up his sound system to get the exact correct amount of CRJ Vibes because, for this episode, we had to listen to "Tug of War," the pretty awful title track off of her debut album. What happens when an artist who hasn't yet found her sound drifts out of her vocal range in the chorus that follows lyrics that fail in their attempt to be clever? It's a bad song, folks, but it's a song that hints at the pop music Charizard she would eventually evolve into. It's not pop, it's not lattegaze, so who is this song even for? The answer is definitely not us. Also: welcome Feminist Icon Mrs. Bucket to the show!

At the tail end of a lovely, sunny, inebriated Camp CageClub 2: The Quickening, the Now and Again boys squeezed into a bedroom with CageClub Commander (and occasional friend of the show) Joey Lewandowski to talk snap reactions to Dedicated. Hear the hot takes and raucous disagreements that occur as hahaha just kidding we all love it, but listen to the episode to find out why and how much!

In August 2015, we released our very first podcast and proceeded to tear through Nicolas Cage’s filmography at a breakneck pace. We had no idea that we'd continue after we finished Cage’s filmography, but we asked, “What’s next?” and went from there. After nearly four years, we are releasing our 1,000th episode.

In this episode, Joey Lewandowski talked many of your favorite CageClub Podcast Network hosts: Mike Manzi of Third Time’s A Charm, Joe Two of 2 Fast 2 Forever, Chris Podcasts of Now and Again, Brian Rodriguez of High School Slumber Party, Kyle Reinfried of Foodie Films, Jordan Polan-Clarke and Cara Gael O’Regan of Wistful Thinking, Aislinn Addington of The Contenders, Lindsay Gibb of Winona Forever, Jonah Rubino of X is for Podcast, and Nico Vasilo and Kevo Risse of .html.

This episode of The E•MO•TION Minute is brought to you by @forpush, who demanded the hushed tones of E•MO•TION’s “Warm Blood.” We obliged by almost certainly disappointing him! Then, the boys talk CRJ’s BuzzFeed “Rank My Songs” interview and fill out the brackets themselves.

This week on The Carly Rae Jepsen E•MO•TION Minute, Chris sings the praises of E•MO•TION's "Making The Most of the Night." Originally written by Sia (among others), the boys go in depth on the Carly:Sia ratio of the song and how it serves as a flawless midpoint to the album.
