Do you ever get the Sunday scaries? That fateful dread that pulls at the back of your mind. It pushes anxiety up to level 9 and foodies become best friends. Then you overeat and it's a vicious cycle that hopefully doesn't devolve into full-blown depression.

This week, try to guess which of the boys has been transported into the others body while they discuss Face Off and Freaky Friday. They tried to do it via fortune cookie magic, but they couldn't even do that right and ended up at an Olive Garden instead.

A possessed doll chasing you with a baby knife. A pair of twins ripped apart at birth and each raised by half of what was once a pair of absolute narcissistic weirdos. Which of these is the horror film? Just like with childhood, there are parts that we might look back at fondly and there are parts that we look back at and realize were absolutely not normal and bonkers.

You know I'm fine, but I hear those voices at night sometimes. They justify my claim. The government might have just justified your claims as well, The Killers. This week, the boys dive into the first documentaries to be featured on the podcast: "Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers" and "Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind". They both have the same exact low Rotten Tomatoes score of 17%, which seems like a very specific number. Too specific to be a coincidence... --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mamfaw/support

Alright, picture this. You're stuck in the socio-cultural landscape of the 80s, a time of neon leggings, New Wave hits, and John Hughes movies. But conformity and mainstream isn't your scene - you long for chaos, absurdity. You're searching for something Savage. This week's movies are what you seek. They're like finding an alternative track on an 80s mixtape - it might not have topped the charts, but it's got that special something, that unique perspective that keeps you coming back…at least for Boomer Junior. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mamfaw/support

Happy Belated Independence Day, Mamfawkers! Home of the free and land of the place where creativity has died and sequels reign supreme...except in this case.

It's the end of the animation series, and we're going out with a bang - brought to us by Amos Slade. The Fox and the Hound and Shrek 2 are two stories of love, friendship, and accepting our differences in order to cherish those two things. Two. Two different animals. The second movie in a series. Second, also meaning two. But, this is the third in the animation series. 2+3 = 5 and 5-3 brothers = 2. I think you can figure out what this means for us all, I'm afraid it's not great --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mamfaw/support
