Join Evan and Mallory every Thursday as they recap the top pop culture moments from 10 and 20 years ago.
This week Mallory & Evan power through technical difficulties to talk about lots from TV, music, and movies. They've got the finales of Everybody Loves Raymond & Mad Men, the debut of Taylor Swift's Bad Blood music video, and the masterpiece that is Star Wars Episode 3. Maybe all movies are not that bad? Find out this week on a jam-packed episode.
This week gives us so much to cover! We talk Met Gala and ranking the best months of the year, plus we actually talk about our topics. We've got The Gorillaz, Grace & Frankie, and Mallory absolutely breaking Evan during a chat about Mad Max: Fury Road. Or is it Fuwy Woad? Join us and find out!
This week we're back with a massive episode. We talk long song titles and long-time fandom of From Under The Cork Tree by Fall Out Boy, and then dive into movies & TV with the return of Family Guy, debut of Crash, and the box office smash that was Avengers: Age of Ultron. It's a little less Sixteen Candles, a lot more fun this week!
This week we only have two topics from 2005 & 2015 - the first ever YouTube video and Caitlyn Jenner's landmark interview about her transition. We spend time looking at the most viewed YouTube videos of all time with a game and talk about the post-Easter lull. Join us for another wide ranging episode!
This week, we're spilling the tea, just like WikiLeaks after the Sony hack. We talk about revelations from those emails, the end of 8 Simple Rules for Dating my Teenage Daughter, and some 2015 country music awards. All this plus Easter chatter this week, so join in!
It is time to talk divas, daredevils, and deadly catches. This week we talk about Mariah Carey's album The Emancipation of Mimi, the debut of Netflix's Daredevil and The Deadliest Catch. All of this plus complaining about the weather, so tune in for another good one!
This week we finally get to talk about an amazing moment in pop culture and reality television history - the show Next on MTV! Nothing like a dating show that just devastates the self-confidence of all who are on it. We also talk about Sin City and Furious 7, bookending our show with talk of some solid movies. Join us for another great episode this week!
What a week this week! We've got the debut of two iconic shows in Grey's Anatomy and The Office, plus the devastating news of Zayn leaving One Direction. All this, some games, and some Doctor Who this week on the podcast, so tune in!

The title says it all - huge week for Carol Kane. We're talking about two of her projects: The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (and how it doesn't hold up) and The Pacifier (and how this genre of movie is gone now). Plus we talk about 50 Cent's The Massacre, which to the best of our knowledge, does NOT include Carol Kane. Maybe we missed something though! Join us for a great week with all of this plus 2025 Oscars reactions.
This week we dive back into one of 2015's greatest mysteries: what color was the dress, black and blue or white and gold? We talk about The Dress and a variety of famous dresses, play some games about the 2005 Oscars, discuss the passing of Leonard Nimoy, and the end of Parks & Recreation. Join us for a packed week!
This week has a lot going on for our brave hosts. They brave broken appliances, a terrible 50 Shades of Grey movie, and the bizarre finale of Two and a Half Men.

It is Super Bowl season, so we talked about 2005's overcorrection from Janet Jackson to Paul McCartney for the half time show. We also talk American Dad, Better Call Saul, and Rosie on The View, the holy trinity of television (probably not). Join us for all of this plus talking about being sick and weird NBA trades. We cover it all this week!
This week is a big mix of topics. We've got the iconic Left Shark Super Bowl halftime show, the legalization of same-sex marriage in Canada, and slow dance anthem You & Me by Lifehouse. All this, plus a discussion on the worst months of the year (spoilers, we're in it).
The world is on fire and we're all over the place this week as we answer the big questions. Who married their first cousin? Why did the Dave the Barbarian theme song go so hard? What are the best songs from Hamilton? Who needs a drink? All of these questions, very few answers, but lots of laughs ahead in this week's episode.
This week is all about people to the rescue! We've got 2005's Coach Carter and Supernanny coming to save the day. We also talk about Schitt's Creek's debut (simply the best) and the 2015 Critic's Choice Awards. Plus strange commercials and a test to see what movies Kevin Costner has been in?

Martha Stewart went to jail, the 2004 Olympics happened in Athens, the Curse of the Bambino was lifted, Pharrell wore a dumb hat, Snapchat, Flappy Bird, How I Met Your Mother Ended - so much. We talk about it all in a wide-ranging and tangent-inducing episode. Join us as we continue to wrap up two great pop culture years!
We're back with another round of games! We've got two different Hallmark Christmas Movie games where we learn just how weird those movies get, plus games about 2014 club songs, the highest-grossing Christmas movies, the best paid actors of 2014, and some holiday would you rather.
