Top Gun: Mandrick Jun 20, 2022

Mandy thinks Top Gun: Maverick is terrible. Mandy disagrees and writes some Tom Cruise fan fiction in response. OK, so what it’s a remake of the first one? Mandy has read AIRPLANE MANUALS, y’all. This movie is ripe with conflict and sweat in this movie that is all about fighting and flying and the Naval aviators that are on our lists.

The Mandy Project Jun 06, 2022

Being a celebrity mom is trying, but it’s certainly made better when your kids are just so damned hairy... wait, that’s talented. That's why it's time to settle in and watch a whole lot of charismatic action heroism and timey-wimey hand-waving in the Ryan Reynolds scifi flick, The Adam Project.

Waiting for Guffmandy May 30, 2022

Let’s get this out of the way: Waiting for Guffman is not a risky pick for Mandy. It’s a classic in the Christopher Guest-and-crew improvisational film oeuvre. The only contentious part of the show? When should Mandy sing?

Under the Mandy of Heaven May 23, 2022

Mandy brings the adaptation of one of the duo's past book club books this week, the Andrew Garfield, Daisy Edgar-Jones Hulu-drop, Under the Banner of Heaven. By all rights, it has everything they should love: Crime, cults and murder. Does it hold up?

The Unbearable Weight of Mandive Talent May 16, 2022

Mandy and her offspring see the touring show of Tootsie and they change all the things. It doesn't work maybe as well as they think it does.

But who cares about all that crap. We're here to talk about Nick Cage playing Nick Cage in a movie about a guy who loves Nick Cage a lot. It's The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent day in the Mandcave and despite the fact that this movie wasn't made for Mandys, like, at all, well, surprises abound this week.

A Very Punchable Mandy May 09, 2022

If you're listening to this show, you're probably a human that would get some enjoyment out of Colin Jost's book, A Very Punchable Face. But if you're a fan of his punchable face on Saturday Night Live, you should make sure you get the audiobook version so you can hear him read it. Then your hands are free to punch images of him as you listen. It's a real multimedia experience.

So, cat's out of the bag, the Mandy's actually agree on this. It's a funny book. So you're not here for the fights this week. What you are here for may or may not include a digression on vegan cooking and the scatological perils of being an adult. You have been warned.

The Mandy Before May 02, 2022

The Mandys are as split as the emotional haunting that comes from the vast sucking blackness of grief over HBOMax adaptation of The Girl Before. It’s based on the 2016 book of the same name by J.P. Delaney. But don’t worry, you don’t have to have read it to get it.

The Mubble Apr 11, 2022

Mandy really wants a press junket. She saw The Lost City and just feels like she could really rock the circuit. Let's see what we can do to get a real cool podcast junket vibe going this week, k?

The real story is about Judd Apatow and his efforts to tell a pandemic story of filmmaking under the bubble. Clearly they had money and time, and a fantastic cast, and cool locations maybe? But, and this is a big but (and we can not lie): Did they have any sort of story?

Mandventing Anna Mar 21, 2022

The Mandys turn to the ultimate VIP in their effort to not look poa with the latest Netflix hit from Shonda Rhimes’s Shondaland, Inventing Anna.

Here's the original story from New York Magazine by Jessica Pressler that started all this Anna Delvey/Sorokin stuff. "How Anna Delvey Tricked New York's Party People". You should read it.

Then, check this one out about how "Netflix paid fake heiress Anna Sorokin $320,000 for its show about her, and she's already used the money to pay off her victims

Along the way, the Mandys review Mandy’s latest performance of Miscast, then they celebrate the woman-kissing efforts displayed on Family Feud by America’s Favorite Uncle, Richard Dawson.

The Mandy Next Door Mar 07, 2022

Should you listen to the podcast, “The Shrink Next Door,” before you sit down with the tv+ show of the same name? It’s probably OK that you don’t, but the comparison is interesting.

Oh, wait, you’re not here for a dissertation on adaptations across media. You’re here to find out if the Mandys agree on it. Well, the editors have told us we have to stop giving away those kinds of teasers in the episode notes, so you’re not going to hear it from me. I’m not even going to tell you that they’ve committed to watching more episodes than the eps they watched for this podcast. Why would I tell you that?? That’s tantamount to giving away the secret altogether! Only a real rube would pull that… or… someone with an ax to grind, I guess.

I Mand You Back Feb 28, 2022

Mmmhmmm... The Mandys are back to take on a romcom this week. You might think this would be a pitch right across the ol' plate. If you thought that, you'd be a real rube. Because that would mean that you had been lulled into that sweet, soft sense of complacency that comes with the acceptance of the brand of this show being a lie, a fraud, a hornswoggle, that these supposed best friends actually have one more thing in common in addition to their names: THEY AGREE ON EVERYTHING.

Not so fast, Ace. This one... Is... Divisive.

First, make sure you get those tix to MISCAST LA for the March 13 extravaganza. But only do it if you're in striking distance of The Federal NoHo because buying tickets for the show in LA if you're in Montana is bonkers. Don't do that.

Manderville Feb 21, 2022

It's a test of wit and will as the Mandys climb aboard the Will Arnett improve train that is, "Murderville." It’s more than just an improv show… It’s an improv show that is also a test of wits for the guest. This week, the Mandys yes, and… their way through several episodes with praise for the guests, the writers, and naturally for Will Arnett in the central role.

Watch ‘Murderville’ on Netflix

The Mandy in the House Across the Street from the Mandy in the Window Feb 14, 2022

Our opening course this week is a quick review of Something Rotten currently playing at 5-Star Theatricals. It’s a bawdy tale of the Bard which, by the time you hear this, you won’t be able to see most likely as the Los Angeles run is over on February 13, 2022. But we want to leave you with this note: the show is decidedly not dumb, and if you have a chance to see anything else headlining Justin Michael Wilcox, you take that chance because he’s a phenom.

Our main course is the Netflix puzzler, “The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window,” the Kristen Bell puzzler that definitely keeps you guessing, and might actually have you laughing, too.

The Mandys Stop at Greenlights Feb 07, 2022

The Mandys are, as it turns out, all right, all right, all right, as they join Matthew McConaughey in the Cadilac and hit all the green lights. On their way, they hit up Puppetmaster: The Ultimate Con Man, check in on Mandy’s “integrity cleanse”, and give us a game that is funnier than it deserves to be, and will have you quoting Mandy all week.

The Mandys are Up Scream Without a Paddle Jan 31, 2022

It’s Scream time. The Mandys hook up with Ghostface in this requel of the classic Wes Craven Scream and the gang’s all here: Syd, Gail, Dewey, Dennis Quaid’s kid, the girl from In The Heights, "good actress", the guy who looks like miniature Chris Hemsworth, Football Trope, Emo movie nerd, MagGuffin, and Sheriff Judy.

Mandy doesn't love horror movies, but don't worry, Mandy makes her go. Right after they catch up on The Morning Show season 2... oh, and before they play the PHOBIA GAME! Sometimes you have to wonder... do they know they're putting all this good stuff on the Internet? Should someone remind them?

Nah, better not.

Mand Game Jan 17, 2022

First, a brief aside on West Side Story, a film the Mandys watched and a commentary you’ll never hear in full because, even after several dozen episodes recorded, sometimes professional performers bungle buttons and things don’t get captured. So, poof.

Our main event is Squid Game, a show we never would have expected the Mandys to watch. But, what did they think about it? You’ll have to listen to learn!

The Mandys Love Simon Dec 20, 2021

The Mandys find something to agree on this week after the debacle of last week’s show. Plus, they have new young people to fawn over, which is always a Mandcave treat.

Jazzball Change!

Here’s who Greg Ber-LAN-tee is. You should probably know. He’s also the producer behind 2011’s Green Lantern so, you know, not everything is glorious. And as long as we’re digging up dirt, here’s the story about date rape in John Hughes movies by way of Brett Kavanaugh. It’s not great either.

The Mandys Get Back to Hating Each Other Dec 13, 2021

It's hard to make the case that the Peter Jackson's documentary of The Beatles is made for everyone. It's long, and much of its largess comes in the form of background guitar noodling. But if you love the band, you're in for a treat as you hear songs like "Let It Be" before it had lyrics.

Staying on brand, the Mandys are split on The Beatles: Get Back. How so? You'll have to listen in to find out!

The Mandys Laffigan at Gaffigan Dec 06, 2021

Mandy went to New York City (New York CITY?) and managed to see every show on Broadway. She bought SWAG and pronounced it right. Mandy’s mom is a hoarder, but don’t worry, she doesn’t listen to this show. The real high point is a review of Jim Gaffigan’s book, Dad is Fat, mostly because they agree. Hard. But how?

The Mandys in White and White Nov 22, 2021

Mandy brings The Midnight Library but Mandy couldn’t finish it. Thankfully, they agree that Taylor Swifts new short film makes them feel small as professionals. Check out “All Too Well” here, and remember Taylor directed it while you’re watching it.

The main event is a discussion of “Colin in Black and White”, the Netflix limited series in which Colin Kaepernick recounts “his formative years navigating race, class and culture while aspiring for greatness.”

The Mandys Get Maid Nov 15, 2021

The Mandys report from the reality television front lines with updates on the Housewives, the Real ones specifically, and their efforts to continue their quest to redefine reality for the rest of us. A listener corrects a Mandy-specific acronymic pronunciation. Mandy offers a flex. Finally, the two dive into the Netflix series Maid.

The Mandys Debate $&!# Chappelle Nov 08, 2021

It’s the most divisive cultural comedy experience of the last two weeks so the Mandys have naturally put it center stage on the show this week. Dave Chappelle’s latest Netflix exploration might be an exercise in free speech, but is it funny? Let’s all have some fun figuring that out this week as we peel apart The Closer.

The Real Mandys of San Fernando Valley Nov 01, 2021

The Mandys head out into the world for a real life magic show, The Enigmatist, and struggle with the smarts of it all. Mandy gets some new kit so hopefully her participation in the show won’t just shut down again this week.

Our headliner this week is the Real Housewives as the Mandys take on the first episode of the season eleven reunion episode. It’s catty, there’s a ton of makeup left on the mat, but they do manage to sort out the secret behind Erika’s music.

The Mandys Are Suspect Oct 25, 2021

New game! Guess how the Mandys feel about Greg Abbott? Or maybe Mandy’s loosing streak at fantasy football is more your speed? The new film version of Dear Evan Hansen is on the docket for the musical theater folk.

But our main event is a dissertation on Suspect, the true crime podcast from Wondery and Campside. Dig in to the show, then join the Mandys to break it down!

Do the Mandys Marvel at Black Widow? Oct 18, 2021

Mandy’s getting ready for a procedure in the back forty. There’s a real chance she’s s-ing her p’s right now. Mandy’s heading to Fiddler for the yarmulke swap with her kids. And all along the way, both the Mandys aim for a chill kickback with Black Widow and sis as they fight to stop a global calamity with Russian accents. It’s time for some super-heroics with Mand Control and The MandReader, all with a splash of gingham.

The Mandys Need (a) Vacation Oct 11, 2021

There are certain words Mandy hates, but she's not telling what they are. Instead, you, dear listener, have to find them, and then share the show across socials using JUST THOSE WORDS. It'll be great. You won't incur the wrath of the Mandy at all. We promise.

The truly unprecedented portion of this show revolves around the remake of National Lampoon's Vacation in which Ed Helms and Christina Applegate take the kids on a cross-country road trip and no it's not a remake thank you very much. What's so unprecedented about it? Why would we every tell you that in the show notes? That ruins all the fun.

Wake Up, Mandys: This is The Story of Rod Stewart Oct 03, 2021

The Mandys are fighting. Mandy is all up in Martha Beck and she's going to start telling the truth all the time. Yeah, we'll all be holding our breath, too.

The real reason we're gathered here today is that Rod Stewart is a controversial figure in the MandCave. Was he legendary in the 60s British blues scene? Maybe. Was he a mad consumer of hair products? Absurd. But does his music age well through the lens of the documentary This is Rod Stewart available now on Amazon Prime? For the answer to that, you'll have to listen to the show.

If you're interested in this season's MandCave merch — and we hope you are! — you can check it out here in our Teepublic(no-k) Store!

The Mandys are Golden Sep 27, 2021

Mandy has never seen The Golden Girls. Thankfully, Mandy is here to challenge her to do just that. Celebrating the 80s classic (which is currently available on Hulu), they talk jokes, writing, and history of show while zooming in on the first two episodes.

Oh, and they glance past 'The Golden Palace', and drop a new classic in the form of a Golden Girls Mad Libs game, which is about as well-written as Palace to boot!

The Mandys Have The Secret Sep 20, 2021

It's football season, which ushers in a whole new landscape full of opportunities for the Mandys to disagree with one another. This is, we're sure, the first of many discussions of the value of the sport, of fandom, and the lack thereof as well.

The main event, however, kicks off as Mandy forces Mandy into watching The Secret, the 2006 Drew Heriot-directed film based on the book by Rhonda Byrne. Check out IMDB's synopsis:

Interviews with self-proclaimed authors, philosophers, scientists, with an in-depth discussion of visualizing your goals. The audience is shown how they can learn and use 'The Secret' in their everyday lives.

If you want to get a sense of the level of disagreement on this one, lean in on that first line, "Interviews with self-proclaimed authors..." What a fascinating way to sell this movie. Self-proclaimed. Huh.

Mandy brings a game that both cements and destroys friendships.

Welcome to the MandCave Sep 13, 2021

We're back! And with Season Two we ring in a new season AND a new name. We've put the Mandemic behind us and we're looking ahead to neon signs and decorative gas pump covers, empty beer bottles and over-sexualized mudflaps. We're still talking about the things that entertain and offend us, but this time we're doing it from the comfort of our hand-me-down blue leather couch...

Welcome to the MandCave, Cinderella...

This week on the show we're talking about the latest update to the fairy tale classic, Cinderella. This time out, Camila Cabello dons the dress with the aid of Billy Porter as the "Fabulous Godmother", Idena Menzel, Pierce Brosnan, Minnie Driver, and James Corden along with a talented cast of young actors. Kay Cannon directs, her directorial follow-up to Blockers from 2018, and we have serious crushes on her.

We disagree, true to form, but likely not how you'd expect. Something you will ABSOLUTELY expect, a tawdry game of FMK with Disney princes and princesses. This is our chance to get freaky with our childhood crushes.

Become a Fandy... wait what? A FANDY?

Yes, a Fandy. Like what we do? Want to make sure we can keep doing it and pay our fabulous producing team to keep the lights on? Then we need your help to do it.

Schmigamandys Aug 02, 2021

It’s not all a love fest when the Mandys cross the bridge to Schmigadoon. The music may be fun, the stepping high, but where the story really hits home is in the relationships. And so, The Mandys sidle up to the latest Apple TV+ series and — surprising no one at all — they disagree.

The Mandys Make No Sudden Move Jul 12, 2021

The Mandys can't hear movies anymore. Whether it's because of main cast mumbling or not being able to turn off the voice overs, movies appear to be ruined forever. It's possible that this is Steven Soderbergh's fault.

Also, Mandy reads inappropriate books to children while Mandy finally dives into Smartless for the hot celeb goss.
