In this episode, Brook is joined by Joey, Ryan and Derrick to discuss their favorite movies in 15 different categories, plus a shout out in each category because everyone was a little salty at not getting to include certain movies. Other features in the pod include Derrick's dark twisted fantasy, Joey shocking everyone with his comedy pick and Ryan abandoning his child (Star Wars) for almost the entire draft. Oh, and Brook absolutely dominating the draft at every turn, even if it involved sneaking The Royal Tenenbaums through the back door in the romance category.

In this episode, Brook discusses his top 15 albums of 2003, too much and also too little information on monkey balls and a trend among the also-rans that up and coming bands would be wise to identify if they ever hope to be mentioned on a future Listening Party podcast.

In this episode, Brook really scraps the bottom of the barrel with jokes that may have been funny 10 years ago but now are just kind of weird and unsettling. There are some funny ideas mixed in there, but man, this one was rough. Have a done a sufficient job of lowering the bar?

In this episode, Brook reveals deep secrets about himself. Turns out, this man of mystery likes to laugh. Every now and then, with deep focus and lots of luck, he is able to make others laugh as well. This episode is full of things that attempt to do just that. There are jokes, rants, mysterious statements and occasionally just weird opinions, but the thing that strings them all together is that they are all universally true and cannot be challenged by anyone. At times you will think you're listening to the ramblings of a madman. No follow up there, just letting you know it's going to get weird at times.
