Enjoy Stuff: …In Moderation

Growing up we loved to experience edgy comedy without getting too edgy ourselves. That's why Cheech and Chong were so popular to us. So come on a journey of nice dreams and Enjoy Stuff! On this 4th season and 20th episode of Enjoy Stuff we look back at two ‘buds’ that have been making people laugh for years. Cheech and Chong! News Ewan MacGregor gets a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Brian May recovering from a stroke, but celebrates his recovery by opening a new Queen album The Time Bandits reboot has been cancelled after only one season Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we’re Enjoying Shua jumped head first into the pile of bricks that is LEGO Star Wars Rebuilding the Galaxy. He can give it his recommendation as a fun Star Wars story and a fun LEGO parody. There’s some fun new characters that you’ll grow to enjoy and some great cameos from Star Wars favorites. Check it out on Disney+. Jay is enjoying the second season of Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. It has a more epic feel and is giving a very entertaining interpretation of Tolkien’s Middle Earth backstory of the origin of the rings and of Sauron. Enjoy Movies! Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong met in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1969, and started a friendship that lasts to today. They found they had a similar sense of humor and began improv together. They expanded to opening for others, and eventually headlining large venues. Their movies aren’t deep, and often centered around infantile and drug humor, but it influenced a lot of people and set us on the path of understanding…well, a little. We still don’t understand the Corsican Brothers. Whether you loved them or hated them, they have been an important part of our culture and the comedy world. What’s your opinion on Cheech and Chong? Where’s dave? First person that emails me with the subject line, “Dave’s not here” will get a special mention on the show. Let us know.

But in a freak accident, she gets put in Steve Martin’s Roger Cobb instead. Now he has to find the Swami to fix it all. It was a fun concept and holds up today. We look back on it all and talk about why we love it. Have you seen All of Me? Would you swap your soul into another body?

What album can you listen to without skipping any tracks? Drop the needle with Enjoy Stuff as we look at some of our top "perfect" albums. Some albums are so great to listen to that you just want to keep listening. We love music and it’s pretty hard to pick just a few amazing collections, but we grab a few to share this week.

Jay decided to check out last year’s Paul Giammati’s character film, The Holdovers. He was pleasantly surprised by the acting and story. Sci-Fi Saturdays This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay experienced the 2006 anime Paprika for the first time. It was a cool action movie about a dream machine in the vein of Inception and Dreamscape. In the end, he enjoyed it and can recommend it. Read his article on RetroZap.com. And make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com.

Enjoy Stuff: It’s a Philly Thing

Jump back 40 years to a classic time travel movie with The Philadelphia Experiment. Jay and Shua reminisce and compare it to another 80s flick on Enjoy Stuff Time skip back and forth through time with experiments connecting us to World War II. The Philadelphia Experiment takes us forward and The Final Countdown takes us back. News We break down some of the biggest D23 News with plenty to excite everyone Pop-Tarts releases the biggest pastry EVER! Saturday Night is a new film that tells the story of the first broadcast of SNL What do you think of the extremely sweet new treat at an Arizona stadium Start planning great holiday gifts now with the Muppet version of Clue There’s a new horror documentary series from Shudder Best of luck to all the Paramount Television Studios employees that lost their job in the shutdown Ready for some pumpkin spice? 7-11 has you covered Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we’re Enjoying Jay was reminded of a Michael Keaton movie from earlier this year called Knox Goes Away. It starts off as a movie about an assassin who is looking to get out of the business. But it quickly turns unique when you find out that Keaton’s character has a quickly worsening form of dementia. You can check it out on Apple TV+ or Max. Shua grabbed an old Sci-Fi paperback from his shelf called Earthship and Starsong by Ethan I. Shedley. It never made it into the annals of sci-fi legends, but it is an interesting tale of humans' quest (and selfishness) for survival in the universe. Unfortunately we made enemies of everyone else in the universe. You can find this book on Amazon and other online sources. Sci-Fi Saturdays This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay has reminded us of a 2006 Hugh Jackman movie called The Fountain. This unique movie tells a similar tale about a doomed couple from different time periods of history, which spans thousands of years. Check out all of Jay’s articles on Sci-Fi Saturdays, only on RetroZap.com. And make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. There are some new locations from Agents of SHIELD season 3. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU. Enjoy Movies! 40 years ago, a movie was released that was based on a possibly true story from 40 years before. Michael Pare and Nancy Allen star in the Philadelphia Experiment. Pare and Bobby DiCicco’s characters get flung forward in time to 1984 following a failed Navy experiment in World War II. Their problems weren’t over because they were still connected to the bizarre vortex that sent them there, causing painful outbreaks of electricity. Plus, the scientist who caused the accident, did it again with a whole town. Now Pare has to get back to stop it. The movie is often compared to another WWII time travel movie called The Final Countdown. In that movie, the time travel happens in reverse, sending the USS Nimitz back to 1941 just before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Which movie did it better? We compare them and explain which one we like the best. Don’t forget to check out Jay’s SciFi Saturdays articles on The Philadelphia Experiment and The Final Countdown Which movie did you like better? Would you rather go forward in time or back?

Idiocracy makes some bold (and sometimes accurate) predictions of the future of our country. The Prestige was a bizarre tale of two competing magicians and a Tesla machine.

While Hitchcock believed that the MacGuffin isn’t important to anyone but the characters in the story, George Lucas believes that it can be a very strong emotional connection to the people enjoying the story. Which MacGuffin philosophy is stronger to you? What’s your favorite MacGuffin?
