    About this Episode

     Acclaim though important when shared can be invaluable for some when the recognition rests solely on one individual's talent alone.  A star leaving a band to set out to make a name for him or herself is an all-too common tale.  Often times, the impetus of a band's demise occurs when hubris takes precedence (Or, believe in one's self and abilities, if you're into that kind of stuff).  This week on Formidable Opponents, we spend 78 minutes trying to name members of The Commodores outside of Lionel Ritchie without Googling.  Join us for a fun discussion as we talk and debate "Best Musical Artist That Went Solo."   Oh, and on a side note, if ever given a chance to go back and do a one line solo for "We Are The World," rest assured each one of us would drop the other two like a bad habit.

    Best I Miss You Song

    Best I Miss You Song

    On this episode, we dive straight into the heart wrenching emotions and soul-stirring hits from our favorite "I Miss You" songs.  We'll dissect the lyrics, unravel the emotional undertones and discuss the musicians who have crafted those three words (not "I love you," THOSE are the words that should've been said before the songs we discuss on this episode were written).  Whether you're seeking solace in the lyrics, reminiscing about past connections, or you just want to listen to three heartless men do bad impressions of Tom Delonge,  this is the episode for you.  Join us as these week, Formidable Opponents debates and discusses "Best I Miss You Song."

    Given the musicianship this episode discusses, apology songs are heartfelt, poignant, an expressive grasp for reconciliation, a remorseful regret, and a strong desire to right wrongs.  Given the individuals on this podcast discussing apology songs, there will be jokes, observations, and fun facts but also remorseful regret and a strong desire next episode to right wrongs.  Check out our latest episode, as Formidable Opponents debates and discusses "Best Apology Song."  We're sorry!

    Best 90s Love Song

    Best 90s Love Song

    The 90s didn't invent the love song (neither did Elvis, knock it off) but what the era did create was a new sound and a new way to express emotions.  The artists of the decade created some of the all-time biggest ballads and for many of them, it catapulted them to a whole other level of success and exposure.    So, make that phone line dedication, enjoy that slow dance and go ahead and convulse in a fit of passion, totally acceptable (please, warn those around you ahead of time).  Yes, this week Formidable Opponents debates and discusses "Best 90s Love Song."  

    As an added bonus, Super Bowl picks, TV show recommendations and we honor the late Carl Weathers.

    Most Overrated 80s Band

    Most Overrated 80s Band

    On this episode of Formidable Opponents we take you back to a simpler time, a time where a show choir mega stars got together for a good cause,  a time when going out to eat at your local Pizza Hut was considered fine dining, a time where music told the the decade's story and those storytellers may have utilized an excessive amount of Aqua Net (pink).  Yes, we're revisiting the 80s this week and although we have a deep appreciation for synthesizers, bright colors and big hair, we do have a few things to say about some bands that we feel may have received more credit than they should have.  That's not to say we don't care for them; after all, the eclectic sounds and the variety of over-the-top (Not the Sylvester Stallone movie) expression is what made the 80s such an important time for music.  This week Formidable Opponents debates and discusses "Most Overrated 80s Band!"

    Best TV Series Finale

    Best TV Series Finale

    We are back for 2024 and if you're a "Curb Your Enthusiasm" fan, you know our window to say "Happy New Year" is long gone (January 7th, for the uninitiated).  Speaking of great shows, and the endings of great shows, we're kicking off our first episode of the year by discussing and debating "Best TV Series Finale."  So many great memories as we get to talk about the classic series that we think stuck the landing.  Unfortunately, due to time constraints, there was no mention of WCW Nitro.

    Worst Christmas Movie

    Worst Christmas Movie

    Although Christmas is a time of joy and celebration, that won't stop us about talking some of the terrible things about the holiday, namely, the bad movies.  Christmas movies have been a yearly staple for decades now.  Naturally, with the oversaturation of said movies, you're bound to come across a few stinkers.  Sure, we tend to forgive more during the holidays but in this episode of Formidable Opponents, we examine these movies and ask the most important of questions.  "Why?!"  This week we are joined by our friends Jenna and Danielle from The "Did Not Need to Know" podcast (much like Rudolph had a useful nose, they had high quality microphones), as we debate and discuss some of the Worst Christmas movies of all-time.

    Best 80s Pop Song

    Best 80s Pop Song

    On this week's episode of Formidable Opponents, we're covering an era that elevated pop to a whole new level.  An era of excess.  MTV, arcades, roller skating rinks, bowling alleys, movie theaters and more featured the omni-present soundtrack of all our favorite pop hits of the era.  It's hard to believe how much time has passed since the end of a decade that continues to bring us so much pop culture nostalgia.  The 80s will always live on, bring us joy and remind us of a time of big styles, big hair and of course, big music.  So, welcome to our podcast, there's no turning back, don't moonwalk away, reach out to our collective pencil sketched hands and join us, as this week as Formidable Opponents debates and discusses, "Best 80s Pop Song."

    Best Nicolas Cage Movie

    Best Nicolas Cage Movie

    On this episode, we celebrate one of our favorite legendary actors.  Nicolas Cage has entertained the masses for the better part of five decades.  We've watched him grow from moody punk teenager to a myriad of leading roles, sometimes subdued, other times intense but always entertaining.  The Cage-aissance is taking place and with the acclaimed, recently released "Dream Scenario"  generating some positive buzz around our hero, it is only fitting we take the time to honor and discuss some of our favorite Nicolas Cage memories.  He's survived bees, bounty hunters, a hijacked plane, and even John Travolta's chin and we're here for it!  This week Formidable Opponents debates and discusses "Best Nicolas Cage Movie."
