Hidey-ho! It’s Halloween, and things are getting a little spooky around here. Jeff’s experience with creepy movies is pretty limited, so Josue thought it was the perfect time to take a plunge into nostalgic horror with the iconic 80’s film Child’s Play—starring the one and only Chucky, “your friend 'til the end.”

We kick things off with a fun quiz where Jeff flexes his newfound knowledge about our creepy little doll (and his real name, Charles). Play along and see if you can score higher than Josue!

We’re nearing the end of October, and that means the podcast is getting a little creepier… and a whole lot kookier. In this episode, we dive into 1993’s Addams Family Values—where dark humor meets unexpected romance, and even a bit of sensuality sneaks in. Before we get into it, we kick things off with a fun quiz on TV show tunes. Play along and see if you can guess the answers before Josue does!

This week we welcome a very special guest in the studio—Jeff’s brother Jimmy (aka “Second Desk”), our resident Wonderland expert. In this episode, we take a wild ride down the rabbit hole as we dive into Part 2 of our nostalgic journey through Alice in Wonderland (1985). Don’t worry if you missed Part 1…so did we, initially! But now the story gets curiouser and curiouser, and we uncover layers of Alice that we never knew existed. Plus, we’ve cooked up a brand-new quiz where Jimmy and Josue face off (or team up!) to test your knowledge of all things Alice.

If this trip down the rabbit hole inspires you, check out the links on WDYT.show for more extras, and be sure to vote on the Spotify poll—do YOU think this movie holds up? And if you have suggestions for future episodes, drop us an email at [email protected].

Grab your cardigan, put on your latex mask, and hike up those tights – it’s time to dive into the legendary world of Mrs. Doubtfire!

After last week’s epic album, it only felt right to revisit one of the most legendary movies we can remember. In this episode, Jeff and Josue dive into Gladiator—a film that’s bursting with epic action, unforgettable quotes, and jaw-dropping Roman drama. If there was any doubt that Josue is a human encyclopedia of movie quotations, Gladiator brings out the very best!

We kick things off with a surprise quiz (that might even inspire you to throw another shrimp on the barbie) and then journey through the plot, exploring captivating performances, intense leadership moments, and even a few humorous asides about CGI and epic beards.

Let us know in the comments if you think Gladiator still holds up as an epic Roman adventure. Got suggestions for other epic movies we should cover? Email your ideas to [email protected].
