Ep 328: Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

Ep 328: Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

Welcome, dear listeners, to Indiana JUNES! We somehow have been doing this podcast for over 6 years and haven't touched a single Indiana Jones movie, even though George Lucas is his dad! So we decided to devote an ENTIRE month to the Indiana Jones franchise! We talk about this movie that started it all, our respective Indy journeys, and play a game called The United States of Cinema. Enjoy!

Ep 327: Kiki's Delivery Service (1989)

MAY-dy Gaga month is coming to a close, but we are closing it out by turning it into MAY-izaki month! Kiki's Delivery Service is up next on the docket, and boy oh boy, does it deliver. We kinda play an RPG in this one? We mostly talk about Pokemon for some reason. Have fun!

Ep 326: MAYhem (Mayhem by Lady Gaga)

Ep 326: MAYhem (Mayhem by Lady Gaga)

We're rounding out MAY-dy Gaga with the most recent studio album from the Mother Monster herself, MAYhem (Mayhem). It's been great exploring her discography this month! We hope y'all enjoy when we do little mini-series type things like this, because it's a lot of fun for us! And of course, we play Smish or Piss. Enjoy!

Ep 325: ChroMAYtica (Chromatica by Lady Gaga)

Ep 325: ChroMAYtica (Chromatica by Lady Gaga)

The month of MAY-dy Gaga continues! This week, we're covering a more recent album, Chromatica aka ChroMAYtica. This one kinda got short shrift thanks to the bad timing of its release (summer 2020, woof). How does it hold up?? Pretty good! We play Smish or Piss and go on a lot of tangents for a bonus length episode this week, you're welcome! Enjoy!

Ep 324: Born This MAY (Born This Way by Lady Gaga)

Ep 324: Born This MAY (Born This Way by Lady Gaga)

Uh oh! Mike had another idea for a themed month based on a pun! In honor of Lady Gaga's recent album drop, Mayhem, we decided to christen this month MAY-dy Gaga! Which means we'll be covering a different Lady Gaga album (that we can cram the word "May" into) every week! Since we already did her first album (and second? Does Fame Monster count separately? It's unclear) we jumped right to Born This Way aka Born This MAY. It's a great ep, and we of course play Smash or Piss. Enjoy!

Ep 323: My Neighbor Totoro (1988)

We're covering the next installment in Hiyao Miyazki's filmography, My Neighbor Totoro! Sorry for the late upload y'all, technically this was supposed to be the last episode in April, but here we are posting it on May 1st. This is a beautiful movie and a beautiful episode, and we play an installment of Alex-Blank-der Blank-ilton.

Ep 322: Mondays *toilet flushing sound*

Ep 322: Mondays *toilet flushing sound*

Ironically, we recently moved our upload day to Wednesdays just in time for an episode about Mondays. Well, it's kind of about Mondays. It's a lot about Garfield. And also just saying a string of insane words together. You'll see.

Ep 321: Across the Universe (2007)

Ep 321: Across the Universe (2007)

Our recent Abbey Road episode inspired us to revisit this 2007 gem that everyone who was in high school back then absolutely LOVED and probably remembers with fondness. We do an exhaustive review of every single song in this movie, and there's a lot, so buckle up and get ready to discover if this movie holds up AT ALL.

Ep 320: Mickey 17 (2025)

Ep 320: Mickey 17 (2025)

Listen. This is one of those episodes where the title is misleading. Is it about the new Bong Joon Ho movie Mickey 17? Kind of. Is it more about workshopping a backwards sitting youth pastor character based on tenuous at best Bible pun? Yeah! Is the RPG also insane and does it immediately go off the rails?? Also yeah! So enjoy this episode for what it is: a good podcast at gmail dot com.

Ep 319: Castle in the Sky (1986)

Ep 319: Castle in the Sky (1986)

Ironically this episode is going up 2 days late when it is already April, BUT TECHNICALLY, it was recorded and supposed to be released in the month of M-arch, where the M used to stand for M-usic but this week stands for M-iyazaki. Cut me some slack, sometimes I have other things to do besides edit this podcast, geez! Anyway, it's a great entry into our exploration of the Miyazaki canon. Enjoy!

Ep 318: Abbey Road by The Beatles

Ep 318: Abbey Road by The Beatles

We're rounding out the end of M-arch, where the M stands for music, with one more album! And it's a doozey! Abbey Road by The Beatles. Heard of it?? We break no new ground in this episode but have a lot of fun discussing this juggernaut of an album and playing smash or pass with the tracks.

Ep 317: Plans by Death Cab for Cutie

Ep 317: Plans by Death Cab for Cutie

The month of M-arch continues! And we wouldn't be good 30-something millennial white boys if we didn't pay tribute to perhaps the most 30-something millennial white boy band of all time, Death Cab for Cutie. We did Transatlanticism a while back, so we thought it was high time we reviewed Plans, their follow up album. And don't worry, we of course play Smash or Pass.

Ep 316: Short n' Sweet by Sabrina Carpenter

It's still M-arch, and we still have m-ore m-usic for you! This week, we're covering the Grammy award winning album from Sabrina Carpenter, Short n' Sweet. It's a great album, a great episode, and we are definitely going to podcast hell for this one, but we hope you enjoy our descent!

Ep 315: Pressure Machine by The Killers

Ep 315: Pressure Machine by The Killers

Welcome to M-arch, where the M stands for Music! ! There's not a good way to show in regular font the way we said it in the show, so that will have to do. For the month of M-arch, we'll be covering a different album every week. To start off, we're finishing off the discography of The Killers with their latest album, Pressure Machine. It's an interesting album and an interesting episode, and don't worry, we of course play Smash or Pass.

First on the docket is his directorial debut, Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro.

For our first REAL topic of the year, we're doing a movie from last year! In traditional HSWII fashion, we're late to the game, but boy, what a flick!

Ep 306: The Fast and Furious Franchise as a Whole: a Retrospective

It's the end of the month and the end of the YEAR, and we're closing off 2024 the way we began it: by talking about the Fast and Furious franchise. We figured since Fast X: Part 2 (still a ridiculous name for a movie) doesn't come out for a while, for our 12th installment in covering the FF franchise, we'd just cover the franchise itself as a whole! So buckle in one more time for this retrospective, as we go from stealing DVD players to flying cars into space, and of course, play Fast and Furious Only Connect one more time. Enjoy!

We made it to 300 episodes! We've been doing the show for over 5 years and boy oh boy what a milestone! So to celebrate, we did something insane! Look down at the playhead for this episode. No, that's not a mistake. This episode is FIVE HOURS LONG aka 300 minutes long! One minute for every episode we've released! And it is EXACTLY 300 minutes long, we painstakingly made sure of that. We know very few people will probably get through this whole episode, but there's lots of segments here for your enjoyment including: pitching ideas for an episode 9 rewrite, playing Only Connect, another installment of the Matt RPG, an interview of us by past and no doubt future guest of the show Michael DeLaney, past guests chiming in with well wishes, and much much more!
