Christmas means many things to many people. But we can all agree on one thing this season: Die Hard is the ultimate Christmas movie. So it seemed only right to invite ourselves into your home and talk over it!

Along the way we get very into Bruce Willis's body, point out several continuity errors, root for the true hero of the movie: Reginald VelJohnson, extol the virtues of Hans Gruber (and Alan Rickman's American accent!), marvel at the over-engineered nature of Nakatomi Plaza, give the production designer a lot of credit, and give our first perfect score to a movie!

If there's a movie you would like us to ruin commentate, hit us up!

As always, we'd like to thank Laura Hammond for the art, Bensound.com for the outro music, and you the listener for sticking with us! Please tell your friends about this show.

Merry Christmas, everybody!

It's barely November and stores are already pushing Christmas goods, so we thought it was about time to sort out how to handle the holidays. Pretty simple... or is it? Along the way we sling trees, experiment with gift giving, charge you too much for a home delivery Thanksgiving meal, join Sylvester Stallone on his greatest adventure, take your house by force, leave early, skip Black Friday, and go all Manchurian Candidate after watching A Christmas Story.

Election Day 2016 is upon us and somehow we couldn't find a way to fill a whole episode with political talk... We do hear from the people and try to make people's lives better, so we're basically ideal candidates. In this episode we vote, run for office, expose R.L. Stine and global warming, make a food replicator ultimatum, conjure furniture, lay down the law on Christmas decorating, and rank Rory Gilmore's suitors (including Wolverine!).

It's Halloween weekend, so this is a perfect opportunity to break out one of Adam's favorite spooky movies for this month's commentary: Gore Verbinski's 2002 classic The Ring! Join us as we run through some horror tropes, do battle with an Americanized Korean water ghost, explain old technology to young people, do some investigative journalisming, explain and find out just how much blood IS in a horse. We hope you brought enough Trick or Treat candy for everybody...

As always, a great big thank you to Laura Hammond for all the show's art, Bensound.com for our outro music, and you the listener for sticking with us! We'll see you next week for a special election-lite mailbag episode!

Fall is here, and with it comes seasonal taste overlord Pumpkin Spice. You love or you hate it, so this week The Worst Adults are digging in to as many pumpkin spice delectables as they can get their now-permanently-orange hands on! Along the way they eat and review dozens of snacks, disclose the secrets of the spice, question pumpkin spice validity, make plans for Mars, and are horrified by food colors!

Talking Points coming soon!

As always, a huge thanks to Laura Cooper for the art, Bensound.com for the music, this week's contributors, and you the listener for sticking with us! We will be away for two weeks as Matthew is getting married, so we hope this double stuffed episode will keep you over until then. Also, if anyone wants any pumpkin spice flavored stuff, we have quite a bit left over...

This week Matthew and Adam explore the interconnecting sinews of the World Wide Web in the form of Social Media and how it binds us together as one big messy society. From the mainstream flow of The Facebook, to excavating ancient dig sites filled with the rancid remains of LiveJournal, to the misty shadows filled with Socials Unknown -  These Social Media Boy Detectives leave no stone unturned as they try to wrap their feeble minds around the colossus of Social Media.

It's Fall, and you know what that means: Everything is pumpkin spice flavored. But what is pumpkin spice? Is it really that good? How far can this flavor sensation go? What are the best and worst pumpkin spice flavored items?

These are all questions we will be asking SOON.

But we need YOUR help! Send us - in text form - your favorite pumpkin spice items (and how to find them), as well as your general thoughts on pumpkin spice, and we'll deliver an hour of reviewin' and chewin'!

We can't wait! Contribute now!

Adam was terrified of E.T. as a child. Matthew was indifferent. As adults they're both still bothered, but maybe also a little more appreciative of what this Spielberg classic is going for. Along the way we fixate on just how gnarly E.T.'s physiology is, theorize what the tiny raisin man is really up to, become enraged about yard pizza, make fun of an absent dad character, explain the 80s to each other, and turn against the protagonist! So it's pretty much a normal day for us.

Next month's commentary will debut the day before Halloween, so if you've got anything spooky you'd like us to talk over, feel free to hit us up!

Last week's time management discussion must not have been taken to heart, as The Worst Adults ran out of time before even getting around to this week's designated topic. Instead, they just hang like buds and discuss the mystery of the Roanoke Colony. Along the way, they tackle a J.J. Abrams-style history mystery, prevent Judgement Day through the power of 90s sitcoms, pick their patronai, shoot Voldemort into space, do Larry the Cable Guy impressions, write some checks, and justify their lack of restraint!

Talking Points:

• Explain yourselves! (00:00)
• The Lost Colony! (05:51)
• Wikipedia Out Loud! (07:35)
• J.K. Rowling: Time-Traveling Philanthropist! (09:55)
• 3rd Rock from the Sun explained! (13:44)
• Wizards in space! (18:45)
• Adam's patronus! (22:33)
• Checks! (23:54)
• Matthew's patronus! (29:52)
• The episode writes itself! (35:43)
• Larry the Cable Guy wrecks Skype! (37:45)
• Closing thoughts! (40:25)

Fun Fact: We recorded this on Monday night; on Wednesday night American Horror Story aired the first episode of its Roanoke-based season... the theme of which they DID NOT REVEAL UNTIL AIRING... Are we psychic? Are we cursed? Should AHS take us on as staff writers? YOU be the judge! (Also, yes to all, probably.)
