Episode Spotlights

Season 5, Episode 4: 1984

"Death and Dance" scene from Chris's recommendation, The Cotton Club. Tom thought this scene was worth 5/5 egg burritos with sour cream but only gave the movie itself 4/5 because it was too much of a "musical."

Season 5, Episode 3: funny situations

The theme song that will never die. Most recently heard at a Duke University football game.

Season 5, Episode 2: w/photine liakos

Dr. Liakos' first song pick for our "Reunionification" playlist: An 80s classic, Word Up by Cameo.

Season 5, Episode 1: Tom is a scaredy cat

Even though it's Tom's recommendation for the season premiere, I wonder if he'll even be able to watch. Great scene from 1981's American Werewolf in London, when David first becomes a werewolf.

Season 4, Episode 10: over/under

Live 2010 performance of "I'll Be Around" from Bobby Bare, Jr. Under-appreciated AND underrated!

Season 4, Episode 9: growing up

Trailer for a great "coming of age" flick, written and directed by Jonah Hill. A great trailer for a must-watch film.

Season 4, Episode 8: funny pages

Live version of Chris' staff pick for this episode--Tow'rs included this song on their 2024 release, Versions, but the song was originally released in 2014. This performance is from 2016.

Season 4, Episode 7: parental controls

Imagine a 10-year-old Andy Armstrong belting out "I am woman!" back in Taylorville, Illinois.

Season 4, Episode 6: Old Man & The Hyundai

There was a time when Pong was cutting edge.

Season 4, Episode 5: One Hitters

Going with a staff pick again. This has nothing to do with one hit wonders, but should scare the shit out of Tom

Season 4, Episode 4: book club

From Tom's Staff Pick this episode.

Season 4, Episode 3: fancy tv

The two scariest words on TV: "Omar's comin'!"
