Quentin Tarantino's directorial debut was in 1992 with Reservoir Dogs. We liked this movie so much as 16 year olds some of us made a club called the Reservoir Doggs and had t-shirts made. What a time to be alive! We'll tell that story and break down this seminal film for your enjoyment.
While QT hasn't directed a large number of movies, he has been associated with many movies, TV shows, and more. So for our draft this week, we choose our favorite Quentin Tarantino-associated work. Listen to hear what makes the list. There may even be some surprises along the way.

Rounding out 2020 is yet another great Tv show that helped Brad through the pandemic: Ted Lasso. The first season of this AppleTV series was one of the greatest single seasons in television history. You can't help but fall in love with the characters and the messages in each episode. This is all Brad's opinion of course.
Pete and Giff have now been watching as well. Do they agree? Will there be friction in the PCY universe? We focus on the first three episodes as a basis for out chat. After sharing all the Lasso-isms, we finish by ranking our favorite TV shows of 2020 overall. I would not bet on loving this episode...unless you want to win a buttload of money!

"When you make love, do you look in your mirror?" It's an age-old question. But it's just one of the many topics addressed in Def Leppard's seminal album Hysteria. Giff couldn't get enough of this classic in 1987, and he still can't now. Does it hold up for Brad and Pete? What about the few songs that weren't hits? How does it compare to Pyromania? Turns out there is a lot to say still today.
Not only do we answer those questions, but we even veer off at the end of the episode to finish our tour of 1987 with our favorite TV of the year. As 11 year-olds, there was plenty we were watching. Turn this one up now. It's time for you to start getting it, really getting it. Are you getting it???

We got a live one here! Our second installment of 1989 focuses on one of the biggest movies of the ‘80’s: Batman. This movie and the anticipation for it took the nation by storm and captured the imagination of young Brad. The hosts remember when they first saw Batman and talk about how it holds up today in a sea of new superhero movie options.

A movie this big deserves a big soundtrack too. Not many artists in the ‘80’s were bigger than Prince, and since we’re from Minnesota we are contractually obligated to discuss him whenever it’s relevant. How does the soundtrack sound today? Is there a reason we kind of forgot about it? After answering those questions, we discuss our favorite soundtracks from other movies. Don’t dance with the devil. Just listen to this episode with us by the pale moonlight.

This is it!! This is the 100th time we've done this. To commemorate, we are talking about maybe the most perfect film ever made: Three Amigos! OK, maybe it isn't perfect, but to us, it encapsulates so much about who we are and what has influenced us that it is the perfect choice for this occasion. From Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, and Martin Short to cameos from Jon Lovitz and Phil Hartman to El Guapo to Santa Poco to the music of Randy Newman, this movie has everything. Oh, and it came out when we were 10 years old in 1986, the perfect time to hit us just right.
In addition to covering every aspect of this classic, we also share our favorites episodes to share with you so far in the first 100 AND we share the top 5 things we were excited to show our kids as they were growing up. This is a jam-packed episode!
If you are a regular listener or even checking us out for the first time, we can't thank you enough. Thank you for indulging our silly thoughts and jokes.
