    Xmas Special: Love Actually

    Xmas Special: Love Actually

    The holiday season is here and we couldn't resist doing a bonus episode of one of our fave Christmas movies: Love Actually. Join Ty and Rach as they connect cast mates both in and out of this movie, count the number of times they break out the Kleenex, and use the word "actually" in a sentence. 
    To quote one of the best taglines from the film: Very Romantic. Very Comedy.

    Spring Break Special - Lost (TV Series)

    Spring Break Special - Lost (TV Series)

    Our longest episode yet!  If you are a Lostie who is looking to absorb everything there is to know about polar bears, smoke monsters, The Others, and The Dharma Initiative, this one's for you.

    We get into the origins of the TV show, its hits and misses, debate nerdy lore, and of course talk about the attraction level of those on the island: Rach gives out high marks to the smoke monster.

    If you liked Lost (or hated it!) you will dig this episode.  Huge warning for spoilers though!  The ending had to be debated.  Enjoy!

    Xmas Special: Die Hard

    Xmas Special: Die Hard

    We are back with a special Christmas episode and with us is Bruce Willis and all his yippee ki yays as we celebrate this holiday(?) classic.

    We answer the important questions like is Mel or Bruce hotter and what is better between Lethal Weapon and Die Hard?  Hear about a 70 year old Frank Sinatra as McClane and a statistical analysis on whether this is indeed a Christmas movie.

    Warning: the clips used contain many f-bomberoos

    Big Trouble in Little China

    Big Trouble in Little China

    It's a dark and stormy night this week on Summers Off for our season finale, and Rach continues to live in a world of utter confusion.

    There are gangs, spirits, gods, magic, monsters, Kurt Russell, and lots of martial arts.  Is this a Ty fave?  Does Rach scratch her eyeballs out?  Is The Rock planning to make millions of dollars off a remake soon?  Take a ride on the Pork Chop Express with your ol' buddy Jack Burton and Big Trouble in Little China.

    Clueless

    Clueless

    Summer might be winding down, but we're holding on - 2 more episodes!  In honor of its 25th anniversary (are we that old?!?!?!) we take a look back at the epic 90s teen movie, Clueless!

    Come get schooled in the ways of 90s kid lingo.  Would you rather be a "total Monet" or "such a Baldwin"?  Are you "totally buggin" or "rollin with the homies"?

    Don't miss Ty and Rach battling it out to decide once and for all who is more in love with Paul Rudd.  Spoiler: it's Ty.

    Ever After

    Ever After

    This week Ty and Rach are transported back to a mythical time, 1515-1520? We're not sure, but we know we love it. What else do we love about this week's movie Ever After? Angelica Huston's eyebrows, historical impossibilities, body glitter, Celtic techno... Can we go back to the eyebrows?! Just wow.

    Starship Troopers

    Starship Troopers

    What an OFFICIAL season opener!  And Rach loves it!  This movie officially enters Rach's top ten with its extravagant action scenes and beautiful rivers of green and orange goo.

    Find out just how many gallons of blood was used in this movie along with incredible amounts of ammunition.  Maybe, just maybe, after this episode you will realize this movie is way deeper than you thought.

    Friday Night Lights (TV Series)

    Friday Night Lights (TV Series)

    After all that Goonies conflict we are back to oozing love for one of the best TV shows of all time.  Hear where Friday Night Lights sits on our host's all time faves list this week with an extra long final "quarantine edition" episode.

    We discuss the humble origins of much of the cast, the improv style of the show, awkward romantic scenes, why the show is so awesome, and most importantly which cast member is the hottest.

    Let this extra long deep dive tide you over for a few weeks while we take a break to reset for the official season of Summers Off.

    A League of Their Own

    A League of Their Own

    What would Summers Off be without a fun baseball flick?!

    We talk about Geena Davis maybe being a genius, why Tom Hanks gained 30 lbs, who had the baseball skills and who was horrible, and what a punk Madonna is on-camera and off.

    Ty's experience as a baseball stud, Rach's favorite phrase "the pickle tickle", and Ty continuing to butcher quotes make this a fun one for the ages.

    Can't Hardly Wait

    Can't Hardly Wait

    We sink back into the madness that was late 90s teen flicks.  It was a joyous time when a movie can take place all in one location with the coolest house party ever!

    Jennifer Love Hewitt commentary abounds as we discuss getting trapped in bathrooms, horrible haircuts, this amazing ensemble cast, and what characters we see ourselves as in this joyride of a movie.

    You've Got Mail

    You've Got Mail

    We step into the way back machine of AOL, chatrooms, away messages, secret profile conversations, and so much more.

    Listen to Ty and Rach rant about how hard they had it in high school and middle school with dial up internet, Meg Ryan's cute haircuts, Tom Hanks' position as a national treasure, and maybe even a little bit about the movie as well.

    Episode 15: Embracing Our New Furry Vigilantes!! And a Meta Commentary on Anime??

    Episode 15: Embracing Our New Furry Vigilantes!! And a Meta Commentary on Anime??

    Welcome to the big, sloppy mess that is Pop Culture Unboxing! Today, Matt and Ryan will inform you about our new furry vigilante heroes, discuss Daniel Radcliffe’s new film Guns Akimbo, talk a bit about Picard and Ryan’s thoughts on it. They even include a bit of a dive into a meta analysis of anime, and why Matt just can’t seem to get into it!

    Never Been Kissed

    Never Been Kissed

    This week we journey back to the golden age of teen movies... 1999. Possibly one of the most problematic romantic comedies of all time, Never Been Kissed packs a wallop. Listen as Ty tells Rach what he thought the movie was about, how he was grossly mistaken, and how he can relate to "Josie Grossie".

    Does the pedophilic teacher shoot sex lasers from his eyes?  Is Drew Barrymore hot or not?  What were our two hosts first kisses like?  Have either of them ever hit on their teachers before?  All will be revealed to you this week.

    Spring Break Episode: Big

    Spring Break Episode: Big

    A Ty favorite is discussed today.  We chat about Tom Hank's best movie of all time after Turner and Hootch, Joe vs. the Volcano, and Splash.  BIG!

    Discover how the infamous piano scene came about, and how the actors almost lost that opportunity.  We also discuss gender swapping main characters, Oscar noms, the Tom Hanks Acting Method, and Ty educates Rach on the difference between Fantasy and Sci Fi (what a fool...) Do they sing?  You'll have to listen and find out.

    Listener discretion advised: this coming of age tale where a 30 year old woman falls in love with a small boy hidden in a grown up's body might remind you of Ty and Rachael's relationship.
