09/26/23 • 81 min

It's a back-to-back music double feature week! The vibes in this one are...a little different from That Thing You Do, to say the least. And of course I only mean that in the sense of they play more than one song.

NATHANIEL MARLOWE is back to join the boys on a rocketship to the top of the charts to discuss the 2010 excessively indie rock biopic THE RUNAWAYS. Can we call it a Twilight "Reunion" if it comes out the same year as Eclipse? Jury's out on that one.

Join them as they answer such questions as: Did you see them pee on that guitar? How much of the true Runaways story did this cut out? Was Tatum O'Neal also a sitcom star? and Is Michael Shannon the God Damn best or what? among many others...

Thank you for coming on, Natty! We'll be sure to link to the music video you mentioned as soon as it comes out.

THAT THING YOU DO!: Play it Again, Tom Hanks! (With AARON AND JIMMY from TOO MUCH POPCORN)

After tons of episodes where Tom Hanks as a music producer was mentioned, we finally have a movie to talk about it. It's just not the movie that we frequently reference.

AARON and JIMMY from TOO MUCH POPCORN join the boys at the top of the charts to discuss the nostalgia-driven music comedy that not only gave us Tom Hanks as a writer/director, but another banger of a Steve Zahn supporting performance. It's THAT THING YOU DO! Don't have the title memorized quite yet? Don't worry, it'll be drilled into your brain by the end of the movie.

Join them as they answer such questions as: How many times do they sing that same song? Was Tom Everett Scott cast just because of his Tom Hanks looks? Which one of us is vehemently anti Liv Tyler? and Just what the hell is a Cap'n Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters? among many others...

Thank you for coming on, Aaron and Jimmy! Be sure to check out TOO MUCH POPCORN wherever you get your podcasts and on Twitter!

MOONFALL: It Makes Your Brain Stupid (with CHRIS BUDNICKI)

There's a billion dollar movie idea in this episode, so naturally we're publishing it for free instead of selling it to The Russo Brothers for a billion dollars.

CHRIS BUDNICKI blasts off to the moon to meet holographic versions of the boys to talk about 2022's sci-fi goof fest MOONFALL. The moon is there, and it indeed falls. Does exactly what it says on the tin.

Join them as they answer such questions as: Is this movie stupid genius or stupid stupid? What's Chris' all-time favorite movie that Connor finds so stupid? Did COVID prevent this from being a franchise? What franchise is Luke shockingly not into? and Do we have shirt ideas for the "Moonfall is Good Club"? among many others...

Thank you for coming on, Chris!
