Episode 26...Time Travel!


Time Travel! The boys discuss time-bending classics like Quantum Leap and Back to the Future, the temporal antics of the many Star Trek incarnations, and the many faces of Doctor Who. What are the real life applications of time travel and alternate realities? Did Napolean Dynamite get it right when it comes to strapping yourself to a car battery and looking for a vortex? And what does Predator 2 have to do with any of this? Somewhere in all this there is also time for a little discussion of the new Knight Rider movie.

Episode 25...Superbad Economics!


Is Superbad super bad for our economy? Brooks and Sean ask this and other equally pointless questions, probing into the conventions of teen movies like the Stoned Age, American Pie and Juno, but also wondering why grown men collect action figures, how the Beanie Babies phenomenon got started, and how all this affects our ever-expanding consumer economy. Somewhere along the line we also touch on why people are always saying Sean looks like Kevin Smith and the impact this has had on his opinion of Smith's movies.

But they also take the time to exalt the awesome career of Karate Kid baddie Thomas Ian Griffith and discuss the virtues of the Star Trek unitard. All in all, a weird and wild ride that might not be appropriate for office listening.
