    Commentary - The Goonies

    Commentary - The Goonies

    The boys have long held that The Goonies is a bad movie. And for their entire lives people have been telling them they are wrong. So for their encore commentary they sit down to watch Richard Donner's 1985 treasure hunt "classic" to prove once and for all that they were right... You're welcome.
    (Movie begins at 16:50)
    Also, make sure to check out our bonus commentary for Cyndi Lauper's music video "The Goonies 'R' Good Enough" over on our website! Part 1 of the video can be found here, and part 2 here.

    Episode 100 - What Kind of Day Has It Been?

    Episode 100 - What Kind of Day Has It Been?

    Having exhausted every good idea over the course of the first 99 episodes (and the 27-ish commentary episodes, the Star Wars miniseries, the Fast and the Furious miniseries, the pilot for their next venture, and some other random sidesteps), the boys are left with only the show itself to talk about. So enjoy this very special, very narcissistic, totally not requested Behind the Music-style episode.

    Episode 99 - Sweeping Bad

    The boys might be closing up shop, but they're not going to pass up another opportunity to ruin sports. So this week they celebrate the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics by oiling up, quizzing each other, and reinventing just about every sport in this year's competition.

    we thought we should do something big for our final mailbag episode: So we shot ourselves into space! And boy howdy does that narrative not at all get abandoned fast!

    Commentary - Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

    Commentary - Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

    The boys were minding their own business - just eating candy bars and gossiping about that old factory on the edge of town - when BAM! Golden ticket! Now they'll have to square off against a psychopathic candy mogul for your attention... because they're watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory!

    Episode 97 - Whose Hands Are These?

    Episode 97 - Whose Hands Are These?

    We're all getting older, but the boys are at that stage where they're starting to notice it. And they don't like it. This week they implant magnets in their hands, correct their terrible posture, disguise themselves to escape youths, allow themselves feel (finally), and explain away their inability to be up to date on hip lingo... all in an attempt to stave off the inevitable.
    Talking Points:
    New America is at war! (00:00) Tennis balls and internets! (06:56) Brain slugs! (10:10) Hand upgrades! (13:52) Overexertion! (20:42) Learning to feel! (26:11) Dress the part!

What more could you ask for?

I laughed out loud. You just might, too. Give it a try!

Can't stop, won't stop

The worst adults have an addicting quality. I can not not listen to them. From off the wall insights to ridiculous, and, I can verify, true stories, they continually give me the giggles.

Educational!!

I am learning so much! I now have lots of random movie trivia, a new revisionist history, and my vocabulary is on fleek(or the French translation: en phlique)! Thanks Adam and Matthew!
