Episode 86: Sleepaway Camp vs. Silent Night, Deadly Night with Laura and Michael

Laura and Michael once again join the guys to discuss two lesser-known ’80s slasher movies guaranteed to fill you with horror. The fact that the horror comes exclusively from the acting and scripts is, as with most things in life, beside the point.

Episode 84: The Paul Lynde Halloween Special vs. Elvira, Mistress of the Dark with Michael and Laura

The month long bonanza of Halloween episodes begins with the magic of Paul Lynde’s comedy, and the marvel that is Elvira’s bust – only one of those things is real (you’ll be shocked to find out which one!).

Episode 82: Dazed and Confused vs. Boyhood

John & Pat compare two essential Richard Linklater films: Dazed and Confused and Boyhood. That’s about it. Look, not every episode summary can be witty. Welcome to the real world and its many disappointments.

Episode 78: Lauren Bacall vs. Robin Williams

John & Pat discuss the passing of two screen icons with uncharacteristic insight, sensitivity and class. And, on the characteristic side, there are still boatloads of ill-informed extemporaneous pearls of stupidity.

Episode 71: 1980 vs. 2014

John and Pat take a critical look at the 2 most important years in world history: 1980 and 2014. As an added bonus, for the first time, they’ve included an Easter egg somewhere in the episode, just like professional entertainers! See if you’re smart enough to find it. (Hint: it’s at the very end)

Episode 59: Spellbound vs. To Be And To Have with special guest Vivian

John & Pat are joined by Vivian to discuss two acclaimed documentaries, because it’s all right for two men to talk about children as long as there’s a woman present.

To Be and To Have

Episode 57: M*A*S*H vs. Fargo

John & Pat look at two hit movies that were made into hit TV shows. That’s all. Like all fine-tuned German podcasts, there will be no digressions or extemporaneous chatter to trouble your fragile mind.

Episode 52: One Year Anniversary Show

John & Pat reminiscence about the past year and try to come up with highlights from previous shows. When they are, unsurprisingly, unable to do that, they debate the best season of Hee Haw and spout incorrect facts about Colbert’s upcoming late night television show.
