Picture this. A College Dorm Room, the early 00s, weed smell pouring out of the bunk beds, not a book in its place. You look up on the wall and what do you see, A poster with no frame in sight, of a film starring a couple of cool dudes for a couple of "cool" dudes who just won't shut up about it. No, not Fight Club, not The Matrix either, this week on Podcast Like its 1999, we are talking The Boondocks Saints.    Comedian, Head Writer and Dad Podcaster Sean O'Connor (A Little Late with Lily Singh) joins us to talk about one of the centerpieces of Bro Acclaimed Cinema.

Phil and Kenny are joined by actor/writer/producer Lola Kelly to discuss “Oscar Bait: The Movie” to break down the ultimate question: Can a movie, made entirely out of Oscar Bait-y elements - like beloved, Pulitzer prize- winning source material, a cast made up entirely of people with accents and a heavy helping of PPP (Period Poverty Porn) - actually win an Oscar or 12? The answer to this, and many more questions, can be found within this week’s podcast (or on Wikipedia, but still listen to the podcast ‘cause Lola is a killer guest)!

Spooky Season is here and with Halloween being this week we decided to bust out a good old fashioned movie about the devil. Kenny and Phil sit down and talk about End of Days. Despite its title it’s not a movie about 2019(Am I Right?!), but instead it’s due to its apocalyptic plot and general lack of quality it’s the scariest thing Arnold Schwarzenegger has made outside of his Pumping Iron interviews and his career in politics.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On this week’s Freaky Friday, we make friends with the new girl, comedy writer extraordinaire Toby Herman, and talk to her about Carded and Discarded, the seventh episode of Freaks and Geeks.
