This week the boys call into question why on Earth everyone's idiot parents allowed them to watch a movie that's ALL about sending the wrong message when they watch 1978's terrible mistake: Grease.

(Movie begins at 10:03)

As always, we'd like to thank Laura Hammond of the webcomic XP for our show's art, Bensound.com for our outro music, everyone involved in the making of Grease (we guess), and you the listener for sticking with us!

That makes two movies in a row that stink out loud.

Sometimes in this big, busy world of ours, you just need to take a minute to stop and smell the flowers. To appreciate the little things in life that make you happy... Because we're all powder kegs with a propensity for lighting matches...

This week, while attempting to take notice of the small pleasures, the Worst Adults manage to overhaul customer service at a major airline, portion out dogs for charity, salute William Shakespeare, elect Harvey Dent, and retcon David Beckham! So... mission accomplished?

In 1997, an IBM computer defeated humanity's best at the game of Chess. The computer was accused of cheating and challenged to a rematch... The computer said no and retired a champ. As a result, an entire generation turned its back on board games... But we're Millennials! We crave distraction. So let's peruse the veritable smorgasbord of board games we have access to!

This week the Worst Adults discuss their favorite table top entertainments, condemn the world's most popular game, focus their spite, expose Hitler, learn some dark truths about Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor (and why his neighbor is so shy), and still somehow manage to spend half the episode talking about Monopoly!

Every now and again The Worst Adults make a poor choice in episode themes... And that's usually fine. But toss jet lag into the mix and you have a recipe for disaster. Or hilarity. We'll let you decide which it is.

With Spider-Man: Homecoming right around the corner, The Worst Adults figured it was time to revisit the darkest entry in Spider-Man's cinematic past, the third entry in Sam Raimi's Sony series... And it does not disappoint. Which is to say it is very disappointing. If that makes sense.

(Movie begins at 11:26.)

The Worst Adults are no strangers to technology. They were raised in the transitionary period between analog and digital, and they have feelings about it. This week they discuss their generation's unique position, pit early adoption against waiting for second generation tech, put digital celebs on carousels, add Starbucks to a beloved Ghibli property, discuss a certain obscene golden disc that is currently hurtling through space, and tell you how to raise your kids!

Well folks, it's happened again. We prepped for a proper episode about something real, but then let one random comment derail us... So here's hoping you dig the idea of rebooting Harry Potter in America and subsequently who would play who! Along the way we crush it in the casting department, sell out a beloved franchise to some big companies, do some pretty weak impressions, and pat ourselves on the back quite a bit... all because of a long lost moped.

(Side note: This does mean you have a little more time to get us your thoughts on modern technology for next week's episode!)

In this hour they talk about influential teachers, recap Adam's trip to Pandora, make a playlist for some Aliens, discuss how good a Tom Bombadil movie would be, design a Fast and the Furious video game, pick their super powers, will themselves illiterate, and extol the merits of storytelling and D&D!

This weekend Disney World's Animal Kingdom opened a new subdivision based on the 2009 smash hit James Cameron movie Avatar... You know, the one with the large blue cats doing their best recreation of Pocahontas. Because why not.  And somehow Adam - our resident Disney expert - had never seen Avatar, so we remedied that before he set off on a research mission to Pandora. Enjoy!

(Begin movie at the 12:00 marker.)
