  • 43: What Movies Should Be Remade as a Musical?
    Hello listeners! This week Cameron makes his triumphant return to the pod and we're in the mood for some musical entertainment to celebrate. In celebration of In the Heights being released this weekend, we wanted to talk about musicals but we couldn't just do things normally around here. Instead, what we decided to do was take some non-musical movies and remake them into musicals, drafting a movie, a musical artist to score the production, and three star actors. We also take a look back at some former drafts for inspiration. Listen in and let us know which new musical you'd rather watch!

  • 41: What are the Best TV Commercials of All Time? (Plus Having Our Picks Judged by a Marketer)

    Hello listeners! In this week's episode, we're discussing the greatest TV advertisements of all time. Returning guest-host Madeline joins and we each draft five commercials and justify why we think they deserve a spot in the conversation. But, at the end of the day we have no expertise in this area... so we brought in someone who does! Fellow returning guest Alana, a professional marketer, joins us in the second half of the episode to go over all of our commercials and what works for them, plus let us know what would have made her list. Listen in and let us know if any of these commercials convinced you to run out and buy something. And remember - What's On Draft, apply directly to the forehead.

      • 40: What Are the Best Spicy Foods?
        Hello listeners! This week we've got a special two-person draft for you: Paul is joined by his brother-in-law to draft their favorite spicy foods. But after each round of picks, they both eat an increasingly spicy "fiery five" beanboozled bean, going from sriracha to carolina reaper pepper beans! Can they handle the heat? Can they draft a list of foods you want to eat? Listen in to the episode and then let us know by voting on your favorite list of foods on our Facebook page or e-mailing in to let us know what we left off our lists!

      • 39: What Are the Best Vacation Destinations?
        We're back! We needed a week off to catch up on some work but we're back on schedule now. And having just gotten a lot of work done it's now the perfect time for a vacation! This week we're thinking about places around the world and each drafting five spots we'd like to go; the catch is if once you take a vacation destination nothing else from that country can be taken. What does your ideal vacation look like, and would you hire any of us as your travel agent? And where in the world should we have Arkan-saw fit to add to our lists? Listen in and let us know!

      • 38: What Are the Best Movies to Win Best Picture?
        Hello listeners! A few days ago Nomadland was named the winner of Best Picture at the Academy Awards. It was a weird year for movies so our intrepid hosts did not have the opportunity to watch any of the nominees (and based on the ceremony ratings, we may not be alone!) So we decided to draft some Academy Award winners we have watched (or at least heard more about). We took a list of the past 40 years of winners from 1980's Ordinary People to 2020's Parasite and each drafted a collection of 10 films. Which list of films would you most like to watch? Which picks did we leave off the final board that should have made it? Listen in and let us know!

      • 37: What Are the Better Versions of "Twin" Films?
        Hello listeners! This week we're discussing the topic of "twin" movies - movies that come out in close proximity to each other with very similar plots (Dante's Peak/Volcano, White House Down/Olympus Has Fallen, etc.). For this draft we have a list of movies that you can follow along with and we go in two groups: we each take three movies off the list, and then we each take three movies from those that were paired with a drafted pick - i.e., if one person takes Dante's Peak eventually someone will have to take Volcano. Do we prioritize the best films or avoiding the worst leftovers? Listen in, and let us know which of the films in these pairs you prefer!

      • 36: What Are the Largest Fictional Corporations in Pop Culture?

        Hello listeners! This week we're putting our money where our mouths are... fictionally, of course (despite the vast financial empire that is What's On Draft). We're each drafting five fictional companies to make to try and take us to the three commas club by building out our portfolio. Which list of companies would you most want to trust your financial advisor to go long on? What are the ethical concerns of putting money into any of these companies? Give the episode a listen, perform your SWOT analysis and let us know!

        • 35: What Are the Best Robots in Science Fiction?
          Hello listeners! Apologies for the delayed release this week but we are still here. We could have potentially gotten the episode out on time with a little help, so luckily that's just what we're targeting today! Each of us is drafting five fictional robots to serve as our personal staff and making the case for why our collection of robots has the best combination of skills and companionship for the task. We're also limiting draft picks to just one per universe - so if someone takes C-3PO, then all Star Wars droids are off the table for the rest of the draft. Which staff would you most want around the house? And what picks did we leave on the table that should have made the cut? Listen in and let us know!
