    Feb 26 2026

    RECOMMEND YOUTUBE VIDEO FOR VISUALS - This week the boys are back in town to flex their brain muscle thingies. We sit down to play a plethora of daily cinema games, six degrees of Kevin Bacon, Immaculate Grid and more. The best part is when you listen to this and shout out the obvious answers in your car as we ruminate on things like Angelina Jolie movies.

  • Ep. 8 - A Valentine's Day Rom-Com Appreciation Celebration
    Feb 12 2026

    Nobody puts Baby in the corner this week as Jason, Graham, and Slawter return to talk about some of their most formative Rom-Com experiences. We breakdown what makes a good Rom-Com and what's so appealing about them, just as you wished. Graham doesn't want to waste anymore of his life without his movie selections in it. Slawter came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life talking about Ryan Gosling, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible, and Jason is hopelessly devoted to one signature 2004 release. Don't forget: we're just a group of guys, standing in front of an audience, asking them to love us <3
