This is it, folks. The final bonus episode that the Mandys recorded before deciding to pull the plug on the podcast.

Mandy and Mandy are back with a heated discussion on the new Prime Video series "Mr. & Mrs. Smith"... or is it? The intercontinental BFFs dive into the confusing world of Hollywood IP and question if this show has anything to do with the Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie blockbuster. (Hardly) Sparks fly as the Mandys debate the merits of this slow-burn spy drama. Will Donald Glover's charisma be enough to keep Mandy invested? Can Maya Erskine win over a skeptical Mandy? And what's up with Paul Dano being credited as "Hot Neighbor"?! Tune in for laughs, rants, and a rare moment of agreement over the ongoing hot flash saga and which audiobook is leaving Mandy cold.

The Mandys are back for book club! This week, Britney Spears and “The Woman In Me.” By the time you hear this, Mandy will be in London. But before she left, she recorded this last missive to celebrate the continually crumbling relationship she has on this podcast. Maybe next month, she'll tune in eating some sort of crumpet or fish from old newspaper. Until then, we talk Tay, Brit, and Christina. Also, the show may be targeted by Russian hackers.  (00:00) - Welcome to The Mandcave (01:38) - The Woman in Me

The Mandys end the fifth season with a banger: the dynamic duo finally tell the truth about their love of bottoms. Also, they watch the movie of the same name and may not disagree so much. The big news is twofold... first, this is the season wrap for the big number five. Great season. Fun fights. But we're coming back! Which brings us to the second news: Mandy's moving to LONDON for a while. So, the break might be a touch longer than our usual hiatus, but fear not!

Happy Holidays from all of us in The Mandcave! This week, the Mandys are taking on Eddie Murphy's latest try at holiday cheer, "Candy Cane Lane." The lesson? The movie is really all about Pentatonix. Ok, that's not entirely fair. While Pentatonix Puppets are superlative, in classic Mandcave Smackdown Style, the Mandys disagree on some stuff. Whether or not Eddie's grimaces kindle your nostalgic flames, this special holiday jam should be right up your chimney.

Mandy and Mandy are back with another lively debate on their hit podcast The Mandcave. In this week's episode, "To Pull or Not to Pull," the Mandys square off over the new sci-fi film Fingernails. Mandy describes it as "very artistic" exploring "interesting themes" around technology and love. So linger, listener on that, if you find you like the film. Because things take a turn from there. Delving into the bizarre plot involving a dystopian institute that tests predestined love via matching fingernails, they cringe as near-naked couples participate in a "sniffing" exercise to identify their match solely by scent. Should art challenge us or entertain us? What role should technology play in romance? Some of those big questions are probably rooted in this episode. But, yeah, it's mostly cringe. Oh, and children's theater sex toys. Did we mention that?  (00:00) - Welcome to The Mandcave (00:55) - News & Updates (11:17) - Fingernails (26:05) - The Bizness. Support the Show. Review.

The latest episode of The Mandcave finds co-hosts Mandy and Mandy diving into the comedy The D Train. Mandy assigns the indie film, convinced its boundary-pushing humor around sexuality will delight her co-host. Will the movie bomb for Mandy in her search for warmth in her cringe comedy?“I like to explore sexuality in dangerous, unseen ways,” says Mandy in what has to be a perfect litmus test for some sort of undiscovered maladaptive behavior. Through it all, the Mandys offer a storytime about their own high school reunions and hijinks. Some questions answered include: How do you prank call a teacher? How often did you successfully use your fake ID? And how easy is it to fake your mom's signature? OK, ok, you know you did this stuff, too. But don't worry, this week's episode has a not-too-secret method for absolution buried in it! But you have to listen VERY closely... all the way to the end... or you might miss it!

The Mandys finally decide to stop toying around with the word “narcissist” this week because they get to go inside the mind of a real one and learn that the real one ain't f#*king around.

So, the Mandy's saw the Taylor Swift movie. I'm sitting here writing these notes, and I have not seen the Taylor Swift movie. In fact, until I was sitting down to edit this podcast, I hadn't even watched the trailer for this movie. And I'm kind of a movie guy.Listen... It's not that I don't like Taylor. Who doesn't like Taylor, for God's sake? But another concert film? Prince had the final word on concert films with Sign o' the Times, amIright? Do I look like a guy who saw Glee: The 3D Concert Movie? Don't answer that. So, here we find ourselves, dear reader, saddled with the responsibility of listening to the Mandy's gush about a film that has come out within weeks of TayTay becoming a billionaire. Wonder how that old manager of hers is feeling now? Whatever. Old news. We're all Taylor's Version people now. I guess I spoiled it. Yeah, the Mandys liked the movie. I'll spoil it again: THEY ARE ALREADY PLANNING ON SEEING IT AGAIN TOGETHER. So let's just call these show notes a review of the Mandys review of Eras. It's funny! And charming. These two white ladies really know how to celebrate their emo-pop. And, for someone who hasn't seen the movie, I'll go ahead and put it out there: I thought the podcast nailed Taylor's vibe. I give it four mandjobs.Here's an interesting test... do you think the Mandys will even read these show notes? Stay Tuned, dear reader!
