    Ep. 80: Oscars 2022 Rundown

    Ep. 80: Oscars 2022 Rundown

    The boys are still taking a break, but they got back in the saddle this week to talk the Oscars in the lead-up to this Sunday's ceremony. What two movies (one feel-good, one feel-bad) are duking it out for Best Picture? Which movie stands a chance of denying Pat and Jon's beloved "Licorice Pizza" a Best Original Screenplay win? Who's probably going to take home an acting award for a movie Pat has literally never heard of? Jon answers all the questions you're (not) asking, and Pat adds "Sam Elliott" to his list of terrible impressions.

    Ep. 79: Catching Up / See You Soon!

    No guests this week—just your co-hosts and some vibes! After announcing that this episode will be the last for a little bit while they put some prep in for next season, the boys talk Tom Brady's retirement/legacy (Pat brought it up, not Jon!) and whether "Euphoria" (or art in general) has as much power/influence as anyone seems to think it does. But for the most part, they discuss how and why our relationship to art/media has been fundamentally warped by, well... *gestures toward the entire world*.

    Ep. 78: Harry Styles 101 [w/ Lex Briscuso]

    Ep. 78: Harry Styles 101 [w/ Lex Briscuso]

    Get ready for a crash course on one of the most beloved fan fiction subjects. No, it's not Patrick Stanny or Jon Lemay—it's pop icon Harry Styles! This week, the guys are joined by Lex Briscuso (writer at Paste and Slash Film, host of "Your Niche Is Dead") for a discussion of what draws so many people (including Lex) to Harry's music and aura—and, of course, we listen to some choice cuts from Harry's discography and influences. Also, Pat pitches an idea for a horror film to Lex (which you're not allowed to steal!) and Jon almost certainly says something to upset yet another fanbase. 

    Follow Lex on Twitter and Instagram (@nikonamerica on both), and be sure to find the rest of her writing/projects (including Your Niche Is Dead) at https://linktr.ee/nikonamerica

    Ep. 77: "Sky High" (Is Not a Weed Movie) [w/ Adina Kruskal & Kara Powell]

    The guys are joined by Adina Kruskal and Kara Powell of It's In My Queue to chat about 2005’s Sky High. After Pat and Jon pick Adina and Kara's brains on all things television, the gang talks Nicholas Braun’s hair, Pat learns what it means to "ship" someone, and we all yearn for a time before Marvel. (Hello, it’s Pat and I am writing this.)

    Ep. 76: Rest In Peace, Peter Bogdanovich [w/ Matt Mitchell]

    The guys welcome back writer and music critic Matt Mitchell to talk about the life and films of the late great Peter Bogdanovich. After sharing NFL playoff predictions, the gang talks about Bogdanovich's incredible run in the early 70s from "The Last Picture Show" to "What's Up, Doc?" to "Paper Moon." Plus Pat breaks down a couple choice stills from the movies—so follow along on the pod's Instagram (@patandjonontheirbestbehavior) to see what they're talking about! "Why am I always apologizing to you?”

    Ep. 75: Best of 2021 (Guest Call-In Edition!)

    This is history right here! Continuing the Pat & Jon year-end tradition, the boys have some of their favorite guests from 2021 call in to tell them/you about their favorite things they watched and listened to this past year! We talk "Titane" walkouts, the size of Batman’s package, DUUUUNE, boyfriends with Boomer reading lists, and even get some great dating advice for all the singles out there! 

    Thanks to all the guests who appeared on this ep (and the ones who didn't as well!) for helping make this a great year. And thank you to anyone who's tuned in over the course of 2021!

Love

This flipping podcast so much. Obsessed with these boys and the terribly silly bits they do. Keeping me sane through this fifth surge.

Wow

I really love listening to these two. I was on the lookout for a film podcast for a while, and my friend recommended me PAJOTBB, which I will be forever grateful to her for! What a fun time! My favorite ep is a tie between the first Bon Iver and the Adam Sandler! Thanks for all the laughs Pat and Jon!
