The Player Hater's "Roast" of Rob Reiner

On this episode, we are paying respects to the ultimate “Meat Head”, Rob Reiner. In his illustrious career, he has directed classic films such as The Princess Bride and This is Spinal Tap.

Also, the current United States president had some thoughts (midnight ramblings) about his passing. We will cover what was said and more! So join us, all you 6-fingered men, and prepare to die as we remember a beloved icon on It Was Mooney!

Mooney’s Musings Ep. 2: The Importance of Freeze Peach

On this latest installment of Mooney's Musings, we ask the question: What exactly IS freedom of speech? This inalienable right is one that's held dear in this country and truly separates us from other places where citizens can't freely exercise that right. But what does it mean to exercise that right in this day and age? Can one be held responsible for how their words affect others? How does each of us define this? We will get into these questions and more as we're breaking out all the frozen peaches here for your listening pleasure on Mooney's Musings!

A Weekend with Gladys: Weapons (2025) Review

On this episode, we are discussing the 2025 horror film Weapons, the sophomore film from director Zach Cregger. After he made a splash in the genre with 2022’s Barbarian, the whitest kid we know turned horror auteur is out to terrify us once again with the scariest movie monster to date: an uninvited in-law. We'll discuss our thoughts, what we loved/didn’t love about it, and its place in the landscape of modern-day horror. So join us and friend of the show Drew, as we look back on our wild weekend with Aunt Gladys on the latest installment of It Was Mooney!

Lore & Peace: We Review Peacemaker Season 2 (So Far)

On this episode, we return to the bloody, action-packed yet surprisingly heartfelt world of Chris Smith, aka Peacemaker in his sophomore season. The 11th Street Kids are back as they tackle depression, toxic masculinity, break-ups and their most formidable opponent: a major studio's attempt at yet another multiverse story. How do we think showrunner James Gunn did to flesh out this new universe? Are we excited for what comes next? Was the opening intro as much of an unskippable banger as its predecessor? (no, but it definitely grows on you) We will get into it on this mini episode of It Was Mooney!

Mooney’s Musings Ep. 1: An Intro to Numericism

“On this episode, we’re taking things in a different direction as we get heady with my cohost JuanyB. Numbers. For as long as we've been around, we have used them to measure and quantify things in the world around us. Numbers help us make sense of the reality in which we inhabit. This idea, called “Numericism”, posits that society’s over-reliance on numbers and stats can lead to those same numbers and stats being manipulated and used for ulterior motives. It’s an out-of-the-box concept, and thankfully, JuanyB has it all figured out. In this episode, we’ll begin to unpack what this concept is and its occurrence in many facets of life from government to sports. So join us as we get heady and a little drunk as we explore the depths of my cohost’s mind in a new series we like to call Mooney’s Musings.”

Stormy Daniels: D*ck Prophet (A Player Hater’s Roast of Donald Trump)

On this episode, Mooney is turning 50….episodes old that is and what better way to spend it roasting our favorite slightly Canadian politician, Donald J. (the “J” is short for Jack in the Box) Trump. South Park premiered their 27th season with a bang as they poked fun at our current political climate, religion, and much more, with the big Orange Crush himself being front and center. So join us on another totally non-partisan episode as we raise a “pinky-fingered” toast to the person who made this special evening possible: Here’s to you Stormy.
