So let's start with the basics. D.A.R.Y.L. was released in June of 1985. The movie follows a seemingly ordinary 10-year-old boy named Daryl who's found wandering alone with no memory of who he is. He's placed in foster care with a loving family, and he quickly begins to impress everyone around him—he's polite, obedient, insanely good at video games, and can hit a home run every time he's up at bat.But of course, there's a twist: Daryl isn't your typical kid. He's actually an experimental government project—an android with artificial intelligence, designed by the military. And when the truth starts to unravel, Daryl's creators want him shut down. What follows is part sci-fi escape thriller, part emotional family drama, and a whole lot of 80s charm."If you are new to the podcast then please consider following us on the platform that you love, we can be found most anywhere that you listen to your favorite podcasts.

There's Something About Mary is a hilariously offbeat romantic comedy from the minds of the Farrelly Brothers that pushed the boundaries of humor in the late ‘90s and became an instant classic. The story follows Ted Stroehmann (Ben Stiller), a lovable but perpetually unlucky-in-love guy who hasn't gotten over his high school crush, Mary Jensen (Cameron Diaz). After a disastrously awkward prom night incident, Ted hires a shady private investigator (played by Matt Dillon) years later to track Mary down—only to find that he's not the only one trying to win her heart.As romantic rivals pile up and outrageous situations unfold—including a dog fight, a fish-hooked eyelid, and one very infamous hair gel scene—There's Something About Mary delivers a mix of sweet romance, slapstick chaos, and unforgettable shock comedy. Powered by standout performances, a quirky soundtrack, and the Farrellys' signature gross-out humor, the film became a cultural phenomenon, grossing over $369 million worldwide on a $23 million budget.Whether you're watching it for the first time or reliving the laughs, There's Something About Mary remains one of the boldest and most memorable comedies of its era.If you are new to the podcast then please consider following us on the platform that you love, we can be found most anywhere that you listen to your favorite podcasts.

Jane Fonda stars as Alex Sternbergen, a washed-up actress with a drinking problem who wakes up one morning in a stranger's apartment with no memory of the previous night — and a dead man lying next to her. Fearing she may be the killer, Alex panics and flees the scene. As she struggles to piece together what happened, she crosses paths with Turner Kendall (Jeff Bridges), an ex-cop turned likable everyman who decides to help her unravel the truth.
