2shot 2sDay

It's a review-heavy episode of Two Shot Tuesday.Jason Reilly and Barry T. Nixon cover everything from pristine 4K restorations to unapologetic 90s action and a cult animated series that deserves a second look. Along the way, they talk Pee-wee's Big Adventure, Under Siege, the joy (and frustration) of physical media, and why Thundarr the Barbarian hits very differently as an adult.Add in Snowmageddon survival stories, Dry January reflections, and the usual Two Shot Tuesday banter, and you've got a wide-ranging episode built for movie lovers who enjoy honest takes and deep cuts.

Sam Raimi is back and things get weird fast.On this episode of Two Shot Tuesday, Barry T. Nixon and Jason Reilly welcome back Rob Peets (The Movie Guy) to break down SEND HELP, Raimi's latest survival thriller starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien.A private jet crashes. Two coworkers are stranded on an island. One knows how to survive. The other absolutely does not. What follows is a gross, darkly funny, twist-filled Raimi ride with a finale that actually sticks the landing.Along the way, we also get into a surprisingly heated debate about the VIP theater experience, including fake butter strategy, popcorn etiquette, and why Barry and Rob may never attend a movie together again.Spoiler-light, high-energy, and very Raimi.If you're squeamish, consider yourself warned.

Two Shot Tuesday is back with our annual Super Bowl catch-and-release episode — recorded less than 24 hours after kickoff while everything was still fresh.Jason Reilly, Barry T. Nixon, and Craig Zavitz break down Super Bowl LX from start to finish: the game-day prep (including nachos worthy of a trophy), the defensive slugfest that had even football fans wandering away from the TV, and the halftime show that got everyone talking — Bad Bunny, the wild visuals, the language barrier, and why it still worked for a lot of people.We hit the big moments and the weird ones too: Seattle's defense putting the Patriots in a blender, the kicker MVP debate, watching the game in true 4K while barely watching the game, and what the NFL is clearly doing next with its global push.Fast, fresh, and exactly the kind of Super Bowl recap we do best.

What does getting in shape actually look like when you stop chasing quick wins?In this episode of Two Shot Tuesday, we're joined by personal trainer Andre Orlando to break down what real, lasting fitness looks like over ten years. We talk about consistency over intensity, how to get back on track after falling off, why small workouts matter more than perfect plans, and how strength training pays dividends later in life.No hype. No shortcuts. Just an honest look at what works — and why it lasts.

Two very different movies. Two very different nights. And somehow, the perfect way to kick off a new year.Jason starts with a New Year's Eve review of Avatar: Fire and Ash — a three-hour, seventeen-minute marathon that became less about the plot and more about surviving until midnight. VIP seats, 3D glasses, popcorn dehydration, and a surprisingly solid four-star verdict.Barry follows with Stephen King's The Long Walk, starring Mark Hamill and Cooper Hoffman. It's dark, relentless, and closer to a psychological endurance test than a traditional adaptation. Well acted, bleak, and memorable for all kinds of reasons.Along the way, we talk about movie runtimes, recap culture, the rise of “time-filler films,” and why some stories stay fun while others stick with you for days. There's also tea, Bushmills 12, motivational lamps, and a teaser for the return of chicken roulette.Grab a drink and settle in — this one covers a lot of cinematic ground.

This week we're joined by The Movie Guy for a breakdown of PRIMATE, a Cujo-style horror flick about a rabid chimp, a cliffside mansion, and one very bad night. We get into the creature effects, the surprisingly intense gore, the oddly used deaf-dad subplot, and why a 90-minute runtime was probably the smartest thing about the film.Along the way, we debate pool-based survival strategies, the logic of rabies rules, and which parts of the movie unintentionally made us laugh. And in true Two Shot Tuesday fashion, the episode somehow pivots to ketchup, mustard, and one of the strangest domestic coincidences Jason has ever experienced.It's chaotic, funny, and very us — enjoy the ride.

It starts with a Rip From the Headlines that grabs our attention — “Mercury, the planet that shouldn't exist” — and sends us down an unexpected space rabbit hole.In this episode of Two Shot Tuesday, we talk about why Mercury raises real questions, how little we understand about our own solar system, and why scale and time in space completely break human intuition. The conversation drifts into asteroid belts, ringed worlds, space tourism, and whether space exploration is about spectacle or something much bigger.We wrap by looking ahead to Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, and why space stories — real or fictional — keep pulling us back in.Pour something and come along for the ride.

It's our first episode of 2026, and we don't ease into the year.We kick things off the only way we know how: with whiskey, physical media, and a conversation that goes exactly where it wants to go. From reflecting on what we're carrying forward from 2025 to getting unexpectedly deep into comics, beach culture, confidence, and the future of weight-loss science, this one sets the tone for the year ahead.Along the way, Jason breaks down his very specific theory on how whiskey can leap over the tongue without touching the taste buds, we revisit why physical media still matters, and we wander into a surprisingly thoughtful discussion about pills, access, and what “progress” might actually look like.It's funny, a little chaotic, occasionally reflective, and exactly how we wanted to start the year.

This is our final Two Shot Tuesday episode of the year, recorded early, fueled by coffee, Bailey's, and Jameson, and filled with reflection.In this end-of-year conversation, we look back on the moments that quietly reshaped 2025 for us, on the podcast and off. From moving the show to video, to lessons in consistency, fitness, discipline, and embracing things we didn't expect to care as much about as we do now.We talk about:Why consistency beats motivation every timeThe habits that stuck, and the ones that didn'tHow 2025 set the tone for how we're heading into 2026It's honest, relaxed, and exactly the kind of conversation that fits the final days of the year.Thanks for listening, thanks for sticking with us, and we'll see you in 2026.

It's a full-on 4K Christmas extravaganza.In this episode of Two Shot Tuesday, we break down the 4K discs worth owning this holiday season, the blind buys that paid off, and the upgrades that didn't quite live up to the nostalgia.We cover:A blind-buy 4K of Sinners and why it works as smart holiday horrorThe Back to the Future 40th Anniversary 4K and why this is the version to ownThe Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 4K trilogy — does the transfer actually stack up?Add in a couple of holiday pours and some honest takes, and you've got the perfect listen while building your 4K Christmas watchlist.

It's our annual Spotify Wrapped episode — the one where we pour a couple shots, open the app, and immediately question every life choice that led to these results.This year? Wrapped went off the rails in the best possible way.We dig into shocking Top Artists, unexpected genres, and a few curveballs that had both of us staring at our phones wondering, “Is this really us?” Spoiler: apparently yes. We also compare listening habits, celebrate some true gems, debate a couple of guilty pleasures, and try to figure out how the algorithm thinks our year went.It's all the fun, surprises, and light roasting you'd expect from a Wrapped breakdown, plus a few Two Shot twists you won't see coming.Join us as we close out the year the only way we know how: laughing at ourselves, shouting out the artists who soundtracked our lives, and raising a glass to every listener who helped make this our biggest year yet.Thanks for being part of the ride. And we're not even close to being done yet.

This week, we unpack one of the wildest chapters yet — Jason's acting adventure in Tokyo. From navigating spotless streets and jam-packed subways to learning when to bow, it was culture shock in the best possible way.We talk about what it's really like stepping onto a set in another country, working through a language barrier, and living out of 7-Elevens at all hours, all without giving a single spoiler about the project itself.It's travel, acting, nerves, excitement, and a whole lot of perspective. Just two friends, two shots, and one unforgettable trip halfway around the world.

This week, The Movie Guy Rob Peets joins us from the dark reaches of space to talk Predator: Badlands, a wild, over-the-top entry in one of sci-fi's most chaotic franchises.We dig into the IMAX spectacle, the alien family drama (yes, really), and what makes this one stand out in the Predator universe. Rob brings the sharp takes, Barry brings the quotes, and Jason brings... questions. Lots of them.Just three friends, two shots, and one intergalactic hunt.

This week, we kick things off with one of the most unexpected announcements in Two Shot Tuesday history — Barry's going to see 50 Cent live in Toronto. Meanwhile, Jason defends his sweater shopping habits and unveils the practical brilliance of something called Hand Plus.We also revisit Shin Godzilla, debate cavemen bonfires in our Ripped from the Headlines segment, and talk about Airbnbing a floating house in Greenland. It's an episode packed with laughs, pop-culture tangents, and the kind of back-and-forth that makes Tuesdays better.Just two friends, two shots, and a whole lot of fun.

We're back with a monster of an episode! This week, we weigh in on Shin Godzilla and John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness: two wildly different takes on chaos, paranoia, and cinematic brilliance. Barry's torn between subtitles and steelbooks, Jason's all-in on creature features, and somewhere along the way, we ask the question: does willpower even exist?It's all fuelled by a couple of pours of Bearface Whisky, first discovered at the Whisky Global Toronto show, where the maple notes hit almost as hard as Godzilla's tail.Two friends. Two shots. One unforgettable Tuesday (or whichever day you check it out).

We wandered into a corn maze and somehow ended up talking Stephen King, The Shining, Children of the Corn, and even David Bowie's hair in Labyrinth.Along the way, we poured a little more Bearface Whisky from the Whisky Global Toronto show, swapped some movie takes, and found just enough Halloween energy to keep things weird (in the best way).It's Two Shot Tuesday at its finest: swift, funny, and fueled by great conversation.

Barry shows off his new Manta Ray weight bench, built for serious workouts and even better stories, while Jason dives into the world of comics with Jim Lee's Hush and the upcoming Hush 2.We talk fitness, fandom, and what's ahead this season, from more movie reviews to the kind of laid-back conversations that have kept Two Shot Tuesday rolling for six seasons.

We share what it was like to step inside one of the city's biggest whiskey events, sample incredible pours, and meet the passionate vendors behind them.
