Worst Christmas Song
Formidable Opponents
12/14/21 • 65 min
5.0
Christmas Music sets the mood, gets us in the holiday spirit, and of course, nothing brings people together quite like complaining. Christmas music isn't all bad but you have to admit, it can get a bit annoying, especially when you have 59 renditions of "Santa Baby" (all bad) and two of "Daddy, Don't Get Drunk This Christmas" (did we really need an updated version of this, Alan Jackson?) This week, so you wouldn't have to, Formidable Opponents sifted through all the worst holiday music classics. It's enough to have you shout at the top of your lungs "Well, tonight thank God it's them, instead of you!!!"
Please enjoy this early Christmas gift from us. Bust out your Casio keyboards, for this week, Formidable Opponents debates the all-time worst Christmas songs!

Saddest Movie Death
Formidable Opponents
11/23/21 • 74 min
5.0
Sad movie deaths give us the painful opportunity to remember the characters we loved. They are meaningful, thought provoking and often times confusing. They expose us to an experience that hurts us to go through, and even worse -- rewatch to relive. Through these loses, we process grief to sometimes never fully understand why we grew so attached to these individuals. Sometimes our heroes go out on their shield, sometimes they leave us after performing a redeeming action and most of the time they give us an association to something special we can never truly let go. This week on Formidable Opponents, we're talking heartbreak, sadness and loss. HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYBODY!!!!

In honor of Women's History month, join Formidable Opponents in recognizing (and arguing) who was the best female SNL cast member. (Yes, we know, we're three men judging women's performances and livelihoods but we promise you, it is indeed insightful).

Bands/Artists That Should Have Had Bigger Careers
Formidable Opponents
11/30/21 • 80 min
5.0
This week on Formidable Opponents, we debate which bands/artist should have had bigger careers by taking into account the following criteria.
1) Does your stomach churn when you're in the car with someone, turn up the volume to a song from an artist you love only to hear the person you're in the car with say, "Who in the hell is this?"
2) Do you refuse to throw away that old, tattered "I saw this band live when they were cool" t-shirt (replete with nacho cheese stains)?
3) Do you openly and sadly ponder the meaning of life when you're in the produce section at your local grocery store and your tomato examination is interrupted by a once cool band gently playing over the supermarket speaker?
If you said yes to any one of these questions, this is the episode for you (hell, even if you said no)! Yes, this week on Formidable Opponents, we're talking Bands/Artists That Should've Had Bigger Careers (don't judge).

Best Movie Opening Scene
Formidable Opponents
05/18/22 • 75 min
5.0
Opening movie scenes have taught us so much. Be careful where you swim, burying a dead body can seem not so sinister, if accompanied by smooth narration and a classic crooner soundtrack and if you don't tip your servers before a bank heist, it may come back to haunt you. A great opening movie scene can tell us everything we need to know about what we are about to embark on as moviegoers. This week on Formidable Opponents, we look at the "tells," the action sequences, the dialogue and the excitement these opening minutes have provided us. Although we won't debate what "Like a Virgin" is about, we will debate what is the all-time Best Movie Opening Scene; plus, we'll wrap up with our reviews on some popular Canadian snacks. The perfect combination!

Best Guilty Pleasure Song
Formidable Opponents
11/09/21 • 84 min
5.0
This week we are joined by a special guest and friend to the show, coffee roaster extraordinaire and fellow pop culture enthusiast Jomichael Vasquez (@theamericanbeaner on Instagram) as we debate what is the Best Guilty Pleasure Song. We all have our favorites; our secret shames that we enjoy in the friendly confines of our car, alone, at a reasonable volume, or on our headphones away from anyone that would dare judge us enjoying a (questionable) masterpiece just because a few snobs don't generally hold it in high regard. Free yourself of such asinine burdens on this week's episode of Formidable Opponents as we take a huge leap and tell the world what we think are the best guilty pleasure songs. Let the healing begin as we confess what many people take to their graves. This week we we are now "Freebirds" (The shitty 1988 Will to Power cover version we secretly like, not the Lynyrd Skynyrd original).

One Hit Wonders
Formidable Opponents
02/15/21 • 43 min
5.0
"Take On" Randall, Bob and Joseph as they argue their best One Hit Wonder. Two things they can all agree on are that during a heated debate, they can't tell the difference between an Emmy and a Grammy and it is best to stay away from Mac and Cheetos.

Favorite Movie Soundtracks
Formidable Opponents
11/16/21 • 92 min
5.0
This week on a very special episode of Formidable Opponents, Joseph is found unconscious in an abandoned refrigerator during a deadly game of hide and seek, Bob is under the influence of a sinister cult and Randall is busted trying sell a bootlegged recording of a Doobie Brothers concert (by the Doobies themselves!).
Actually, this is a very different, "very special episode" (bike shop owners, you're off the hook...for now). This week we are guests on "Turn of the Millennials Podcast." Join us on this simulcast as we collectively discuss our "favourite" (they're Canadian) and most memorable movie soundtracks (mainly from the 90s but we spill onto several decades). Bonus content of this episode can be exclusively found on "Turn of the Millennials" podcast. Check them out!
