    After six months of forgetting to do the podcast, Tony and Nadia reunite to discuss Nadia's recent panel appearance at Comic-Con, where she represented the show and figured out how to process poorly-aged media in front of a large audience of dorks. The two hosts continue to try and figure out how to be people in the world that grow and learn while consuming art but also still overthink everything. Tony also does a deep assessment on AI and the threat it poses to his job as a podcaster.

    Nadia and Tony watch one of the funniest movies ever made from one of the funniest comedy teams ever, starring one of the best comedic actors of all time and featuring multiple contenders for the greatest gag of all time. And now, to take a big sip of water and make sure there aren’t any world-famous murderers in the cast list.

    Tony and Nadia decide to take the podcast seriously for once and definitely don’t spend 90 minutes talking about which of their friends ended up on Wikifeet or which tags show up in the Bluey fanfics on AO3 or how hot Winona Ryder is in this early-2000s era hidden gem from the Adam Sandler catalogue, featuring an Oscar-nominated (not really, but we wish) turn from John Turturro.

    In 2016, Disney threw every member of phylum chordata into a bizarre and baffling allegory (for children?) on 2010s prejudice, policing, and urban unrest, but don’t worry, they made all of the animals in it really sexy.

    In 2018, Tony bet a friend that he could get his pal Nadia to co-host a podcast and then drive her away by being the worst podcast co-host ever. At the same time, Nadia bet a friend that she could co-host a podcast for at least seven seasons no matter what. The simultaneous bets reach a head this week as they review the classic McConaughey/Hudson rom-com.

This week's outro music is My Chemical Romance’s “Blood” as covered by VloggyOllie.

These 2 will make you laugh at the least funny comedy

I found this podcast through my favorite pod (Vicious Cycle Podcast—comedy podcast about periods) when Nadia was a guest and after listening to the Prolly Shoulda Known Better crossover when the Vicious Cycle gals broke down the women of SNL with Nadia and Tony, I was hooked. I went back and have begun listening to all the episodes of Prolly Shoulda that I’ve seen the movie Nadia & Tony discuss (some I haven’t and am actually debating watching in order to have context for these podcast episodes) I feel like they chat how I chat with my friends about movies, but I’m also a movie nerd where I always watched the special features when we rented the DVD growing up, so I love the background and context Nadia and Tony provide for the movie… SO GOOD! Highly recommend this pod if you love movies, hate some movies, and just want a chuckle or giggle.

Just try not to laugh

Such a fun podcast! I feel like I am just listening to my two hilarious BFFs talking about what they love and mostly hate about such classics as She’s the Man and Friends. Tony and Nadia provide great context of the pop culture of the time and how the movie or show was received. Their exasperation and laughter are infectious. I look forward to more episodes in 2019!

Skewering bad comedy superbly

Nadia and Tony do such an excellent job not just critiquing bad comedies from recent decades but seriously engaging with it as major influences on our cultural outlook. From comedy standards like "Tootsie" to "Dane Cook" they give a critique that is both rooted in a love of comedy as well as desire to see the genre improved by learning from these comedians/movies/shows/characters that have clearly not aged well.
