Episode 127: Primer Sep 10, 2021

Show notes

Thomas wants to be the next host of Jeopardy. Chris is (again) buying appliances. Ryan is moving into the Kinney Palace. And we have all watched Primer, the masterpiece from the genius Shane Carruth. (this is not like a PBS Masterpiece garbage. I actually mean it is a masterpiece.)

Episode 126: The New York Athletic Club Aug 26, 2021

Show notes

The gang's back together! We chat about Chris and Ryan's holiday trips throughout the US. Thomas wonders whether Chris is actually white trash. Ryan questions his brother's choices and chats about his appeareance on the Subbeacon Podcast. If you want all the juicy behind-the-curtain stuff, we've got it. Chris and Ryan have also seen The Suicide Squad.

Episode 125: PCU Aug 19, 2021

Show notes

The show is down two hosts because they have escaped on vacation. Matt, friend (and frequent guest) of the show, have dug up a movie from the 1990s that provides a great look at today's social media (and college) culture! Come for the jokes about the Olympics, stay for the discussion on causeheads and merkins.

Episode 124: The Poop Knife Jul 28, 2021

Show notes

We can't even describe how excited we are to be able to use "poop" in the episode title two weeks in a row. Almost as happy as America's Mayor in drag. Or Kanye living at the Mercedes Benz Stadium. We also chat about other things on the show. Like the movie Abduction and Ryan's new gig as a booker and manager.

Episode 123: Flinging poop on Tinder dates Jul 17, 2021

Show notes

Chris returns to the podcast fully loaded with thoughts and criticism about Thomas and Ryan flying solo in the previous episode. The boys have tons of billion dollar ideas for inventions, Ryan has signed up for a mystery box, and Chris is watching Bosch.

Episode 122: The Nolan Variations, Weddings, Tinder, and Apple Watches Jul 08, 2021

Show notes

The podcast storms back with an episode discussing the greatest Englishman who ever lived (Christopher Nolan). We also have time to chat a little about weddings from around the globe and learn about other cultures. Thomas has been on dating apps again while Apple is releasing a new watch and William Shatner has gone senile.

Episode 121: Empty Nest After Megathread Guests - John Mayer (musical guest) Jun 05, 2021

Show notes

The boys delve back into a threesome of nonsense talk after their megathread guests last week. Plus Chris has watched Succession (mention Greg impression in some form). John Mayer - music and musicalistics.

Episode 120: Megathread Roundtable May 29, 2021

Show notes

We brought three members of the Megathread on the show to give us some of their rankings. What is the best state in the union? The answer might surprise you. Which Disney Channel Original movie is in the top 30 movies of all time? And who are the hosts of the Subbeacon/Substandard/SSEU Podcasts with the best opinions?

Episode 119: Draft Day May 21, 2021

Show notes

Draft Day? More like Daft Day! We have one question for Kevin Costner: Why? Are you in financial trouble? Listen to the boys discuss the way-too-long NFL promotional movie known as Draft Day (2014). Chris dives into a manhole, Ryan has thoughts about Adam Neumann and Thomas creates an awkward silence when he wants to discuss Odell Beckham Jr's attractiveness.

Episode 118: For All Womankind May 13, 2021

Show notes

On this week's episode, Chris and Ryan gush over some space show that they have been watching. The boys also provide marriage advice although Thomas is concerned about how long those things can actually last. Chris and Ryan also get their NBA and movie skills tested in two separate quizzes.
