It's hard to believe we've been at this for three whole seasons. As has become our custom, we do a post-mortem on the year and talk about what we loved, what we hated and what we think worked best.
See you all next week with season four!
It's an interesting amalgamation; holiday-themed films with heavy horror emphasis. Sometimes, that's what's needed, though to break the monotony of the standard fare. In this episode, we look at some of our favorite horror or horror-adjacent holiday films. Put on your Santa hat, your headphones, and grab the closest kitchen knife. We have a whole "slay" (haha) of goodies to hand out.
It's zero hour at the North Pole and all of the elves have vanished! It's time to assemble a crew of non-elves to help Santa push out the toys he needs to satisfy the nice list. We look at value and ability. There are some pretty amazing wild cards that make the list!
It's the time of year when our favorite streaming service gives us one of our favorite gifts! In this episode, we look at our top seven songs for 2025 as denoted by Spotify and put them together to make our famous fourteen-song playlist. We have changed the rules up a little since we did this last. Let's see if it's for the better...
The Pixar name almost always means a quality family film. Which ones are the best? In this episode Jack and Josh try their hand for a second time at emulating IGN's ranking of the ten best Pixar films of all time. Will this blind ranking be more successful than the last?

The last time we tackled making a Rushmore, we looked at the villains of slasher films. This time we flip the coin over and talk about our favorite final girls; specifically the ones that objectively belong on the list. Taking into account all of the horror films that exist, we have a couple of surprises up our sleeves.
The saying goes that laughter is the best medicine. That is probably why comedic films are so popular. In this episode, we look at our favorite comedies for each decade going from the 1970's to the present. Join us as we watch what is considered "funny" evolve (or devolve).
In the world of gaming, what is the best way to highlight or denote accomplishment in a particular game? What pushes the narrative along and gives the player a goal to achieve? The short and simple answer: boss battles. In this episode, we spend time recounting our favorite encounters with non-final bosses from some of our favorite games. Whether it be the challenge of the encounter, the way it makes us feel or simply how much fun we are having, these bosses are the ones we don't mind facing multiple times.
The word of the day for this episode is "house", as we look at two underground darlings of the found footage genre; The Houses that October Built and Hell House, LLC. We compare and contrast the qualifying entries from each, ranking them withing their respective franchises and then throw them all together and give flowers/raspberries to those most deserving. Join us as we finish up this season's month-long celebration of Halloween!
They can't all be works of art. Sometimes we find ourselves attached to films that are flawed, or worse yet, just awful. As we continue our celebration of all things spooky, we spend this episode talking about the movies that we KNOW are bad, but we love to watch anyway; those true guilty pleasure romps through the scary and macabre that often bring more laughs than chills. Some of our picks will probably end up feeling controversial. Does our list match yours at all?
We talk a lot about horror films. Some get more love from us than others. In this episode, we double-down on the scares and share our personal selections for the best of the genre from the 1960's to present day. From haunting venues to the most terrifying recesses of the human brain; we are kicking off Spooky Season, 2025 the right way!

Jack leads the charge as we dive back into the world of making playlists with one of the better heavy metal, black metal, hard rock, psychedelic rock, arena rock bands. That's a lot of genres for a band to cover, much less excel at. This episode is focused on Ghost and their varied, eclectic catalogue. Use the link below to listen to the playlist we made:

With Jack on the sidelines due to homework, Josh dives in-depth into one of his favorite topics: video games. In this episode, he looks at the OG PlayStation and creates a top ten list of titles he believes no one should miss. This is sure to be controversial...
Sure, the actual Legion of Doom is a nice foil to the Justice League, but what if we open the door to fictional villains from all media franchises? Well, that's exactly what we do in this episode. We formulate a team consisting of thirteen of the worst of the worst. Will they be enough to overcome good for evil? We sure think so.
Copyright expiration comes for us all...when it does, who stands head and shoulders above the rest? In this episode, we look at the gamut of free-use characters and pick out the ones we think are the best. We definitely have some synergy at the top of our individual lists!
We all have them; those things that occupy space in our brains for long periods of time. Some call them obsessions, we call them our Roman Empires. Whether it be people. things or otherwise, we have a few to share.
