The Audience Won't Like It

We turn Mother’s Day into a pop culture draft and argue about which fictional moms feel like real parenting. Along the way we share what’s been hectic at home, what we’re reading, and why Jimmy Buffett’s “Six String Music” is such a perfect low-key song to cover. • switching to every other week for a bit to protect quality • building the Jeffries data sheet to track references, covers, and recurring bits • quick detour through David Allan Coe, Shell Silverstein, and why “jus...

We watch Star Trek’s “The Trouble With Tribbles” and then Deep Space Nine’s “Trials And Tribbleations” to see how the same story hits in two eras and why the tribute works so well. Then we switch gears and play a cover of Rend Collective’s “My Lighthouse” while we talk through what makes it fun and surprisingly tricky to perform. • The waiting in line premise and our chaotic setup • What we’re reading and listening to plus the joy of quitting books • Cleveland trip recap ...

We bounce from our weekly media spiral into a full Sister Act 2 rewatch and realize the movie’s logic barely holds together while the music still hits like a freight train. We end by nerding out over The Flaming Lips “Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots Part 1” and why certain chords and choices make a song feel huge. • our ongoing struggle to get to the main topic • watching Raging Bull in short “bike movie” chunks • quick book follow-ups and library discoveries • City Of Angels as a musical and...

We put Mystery Science Theater 3000 under a microscope by watching Mitchell and letting the riffs and a full block of mid-90s VHS commercials reshape the whole experience. Then we switch gears to The Kinks’ Waterloo Sunset, from the riff and harmony to the lyrics, the covers, and the one performance that finally proved the song can be messed up. • Debating theme songs that explain the premise • People Under The Stairs listening notes and the interlude problem • Quick reactio...

We bounce from basement banter to dark books, cult musicals, and classic TV theme songs, then pull it all together with a mashup performance. We argue about what makes parody work, why nostalgia hits so hard, and how over-explaining becomes both a flaw and a feature. • debut of a new theme song and the rules of “kissing a recently passed loved one” • the show format as simulated waiting-in-line small talk plus a concert ending • moving Corrections Corner to Instagram to keep the main feed tig...

We bounce from peak-period Earth, Wind & Fire to Fallout’s sharp TV adaptation and then dive headlong into Event Horizon’s culty sci‑fi horror before closing with a deep, joyful groove on Bill Withers’ Use Me. Along the way we correct names, hum hooks, and argue about falsetto fatigue, jazz harps, and spaceship décor. • what our show format is and why we role‑play “strangers in a concert line” • Russian Doll soundtrack notes including Harry Nilsson and Pink Floyd ties • subscriber milest...

We own up to a Groundhog Day blind spot, tighten some dangling facts, and then sink into why Taxi’s Jim episodes still crackle. A Rancid “Old Friend” cover closes the loop as we talk chords, bass lines, and making music under pressure. • what Corrections Corner is for and why details matter • how telenovelas, The Soup, and misheard names reveal media memory • why Taxi works: ensemble chemistry, Bob James’s theme, physical comedy • Elegant Iggy’s class jokes and gentle dignity • Jim The Psych...

Two married hosts chase curiosity across dimensions, from a war movie’s spike of adrenaline to a Victorian satire’s mind-bend and a girl-group classic’s theatrical punch. We compare three Flatland films, argue over adaptations, and close with a jangly, joyful cover. • cold open with singing and show premise • quick hits in corrections corner across music, TV, and trivia • The Deer Hunter scene analysis and score talk • Off To Be The Wizard and game-save hacking analogies • Flatland’s society...

Two married hosts riff from holiday movie night to cult-film carnage and back to the velvet soul of Curtis Mayfield, stitching jokes, nostalgia, and real music talk into a warm, chaotic hour. We test why jazz hits live, why spectacle sometimes wins, and why a tender doo-wop melody still floors us. • show format built around a 50s “waiting in line” conceit • corrections corner on names, titles, and royal forms of address • Beatles wordplay and soundtrack albums as genre mixers • jazz talk on ...

Two married music nerds spiral through films, jazz, and life hacks before landing on a tight, groovy breakdown of Frida Payne’s Band of Gold. We pull out practical routines you can steal, then close with covers, keys, and a looper pedal confession. • the show format explained and today’s cover introduced • corrections corner on Bond, Komodo strength, and quotes • film dive into Treasure of the Sierra Madre themes • listening notes on Wes Montgomery and George Benson •...

We chase a messy, funny path from eggnog tales and Community parodies to a surprisingly thoughtful breakdown of The Band’s Christmas Must Be Tonight, stitching nostalgia, skepticism, and marriage banter into one warm holiday listen. Curiosity drives the night as we weigh UAP “proof,” honor Jimmy Cliff, and daydream dream covers and movie syncs. • what this show does and why we make music while we wait in line • amphibians vs reptiles, anime and Ghibli clarified • Happy Gilmore 2 takeaways, c...

We trade tea, jazz, and arcade nostalgia for a deep dive into “Highwayman,” breaking down guitar lines, phrasing, and why the 80s video refuses to go to space. Simple games, simple songs, and how restraint can feel wide open. • what our show sounds like and why it’s equal parts music and nonsense • Stuff the band, Julian Lage, Grover Washington Jr, and Parcels as the week’s soundtrack • Jimmy Buffett’s Fruitcakes and why ballads stick • Shredder’s Revenge mechanics, characters, and couch co-...
